But no track suit?

Or is that the Serbians that do that?

The guys that got Mohawk haircuts were the Pathfinders. They jumped into Normandy on June 5/6 1944 to set up directional beacons to guide the gliders with troops for the June 6 D-Day invasion.

Imagine...being 19 or 20 or so, jumping by yourself onto a continent controlled by an enemy that many feel will win the war. You've got your carbine, a couple mags of ammo, a beacon and a job to do with dozens of men counting on you for the success of their mission, and maybe their lives. If you don't pull this off, the invasion may fail, and there won't be enough men, materiel, or possibly the will to try again.

No surprise those guys got a little wacky on D-Day minus 1!

Way to DISARM that criminal, Max!

Their abdomens are so large that their lips can never meet?

The other sequence of events is when the government puts in a tax "only on rich people," then they don't get as much money as they thought because people respond to incentives and disincentives, so they extend the tax down to the middle class. The middle class gets to pay because, like WIllie Sutton answered when asked why he robbed banks, "That's where the money is."

(I think that's actually more legend than fact, but it gets repeated often enough...)

Pocket handkerchief matches the tie? Very dapper!

Good job on rocking the suit, and of course, beating the C.

We climbed trees and jumped off swingsets to see who could fly the farthest. We jumped our bikes off ramps. We ate carrots and radishes from the garden after rinsing them off with a garden hose.

I never wanted my kids, or anyone else's, to break an arm or get sick or hurt in any way. However, IMO it's worth the small risk to not be raised in an antiseptic bubble and have no "kid adventures" or any concept of risk and consequence.

We also didn't have anywhere near today's instances of peanut allergies and sensitivities, which makes me wonder how much mommies using hand sanitizer at every turn contributed to the stunted immune systems.

Many years ago, a barge carrying a load of sodium sank in the Mississippi river. Spectacular!

I went to an exhibit of the "art" from the Fine Arts majors at my college. Blech. "It may look like garbage, but see how *edgy* it is, and progressive."

Some guy posts something fantastic--both in concept and in execution--on a site for cute memes. Wow. I hope that painting finds a good home, and everybody talks about it when they see it.

All the plots and characters would be *dark*, like what they did to Sabrina the Teenage Witch and also Archie and Jughead.

Having been a medium-level fan of Queen all along, it makes me happy to see people coming along now to join in appreciating how good they were.

To be REALLY Tex Avery style, his eyes should extend out two feet to an accompanying "Ahhh-Oooga" sound.

Maybe I'm the only one...but that sounds suspiciously like the Italian word for "lawyer" (avvocato).

During WWII, there were several Canadian regiments that kicked serious ass, took terrible losses and dealt out much more than they got. Canada got one of the D-Day beaches, while the US and England got two each. Far from insignificant.

The ones that smell like licorice are flavored with Anise.

I suppose that's true, since we will all be composted eventually.

Maybe they were fans of that song by America about the horse in the desert.

"Scientists."

"Dude, my hypothesis is that this series of motions will feel good."
"Bro, this is the Scientific Method. We need to *test* that hypothesis. Like, repeatedly...to...uhhh...get a statistically significant sample size."
