One of the things I am most pissed off about here is that NO ONE had asked my about my avatar. Please don't feel like you need to do so you assholes.

2018-10-25 04:51:29 UTC  

What can I say? I’ve learned a lot from fortnite. @Wood-Ape - OK/MN

2018-10-25 04:51:43 UTC  

What is your avi @OMGDwayne

2018-10-25 04:51:47 UTC  

I just assumed that's what you looked like

2018-10-25 04:51:51 UTC  

@OMGDwayne It totally looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it

2018-10-25 04:52:16 UTC

2018-10-25 04:54:51 UTC  

how good of ian to keep us updated to his actual irl appearance

2018-10-25 04:55:48 UTC  

@Deleted User Thank you for asking. Finally. My avatar is a powerful and disturbing portrait of Reid Flemming; the world's toughest milkman. He was a brilliant comic book character in the early 90s. I own the entire Oeuvre. It's brilliant stuff and it reminds me of my own misspent youth. Goggle it.

2018-10-25 04:56:15 UTC  

was your youth spent being a milkman?

2018-10-25 04:56:26 UTC  

Cool

2018-10-25 04:56:41 UTC  

Goggle

2018-10-25 04:58:06 UTC

Oh, and, I used to have a great-uncle from Philly. I used to visit him every now and then because he was one of the most entertaining people I've ever met. He once picked me up at the downtown train station in 1988. He was driving a 1972 Pontiac Gran Prix. I'll never forget when we entered the freeway at a ridiculous speed. He blandly said, "Brace yourself. We are now entering the Sure-ta-klll-ya freeway. he floored and swerved into the lane he wanted regardless of the feelings of other drivers. He then said to me, "I aiin't no good at this so you better buckle up." He also accompanied me to the Marcel Duchamp exhibit at the Art Museum. He looked at that arch con man's work and he gently said to me, "Do you have any friends you share your interest in this disgusting bullshit." We had a big laugh over that later in a local bar that he had first frequented in 1936. God rest his free and outspken sourl.

2018-10-25 05:04:28 UTC  

that reminds me: I gotta find time to start finding ways to make a good philly cheesesteak.

but your great-uncle sounds like a gretty gud kind of guy

Listening to stupid game reviews is my guilty pleasure.

2018-10-25 05:12:32 UTC  

hi

2018-10-25 05:13:55 UTC  

@Nemets I've read that book about Portugal too. How did the Iberians become so dominant and the become such a pathetic backwater? After 1643 they seemed to just collapse. From then on they were a second class power. By the time we fought them they were almost third-world tier.

2018-10-25 05:15:51 UTC  

@american_frankenstein Hi back at you Frankie. What's your story. I see you're in California. I lived there from 1989 to 2016. I saw the self-destruction first hand.

2018-10-25 05:27:44 UTC  

@Nemets Have you ever read "The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road?" Amazing stuff. All the nuts and bolts of Spanish dominance. Another good one is Fernand Braudel's "he Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II." It's another very good nuts and bolts explanation of how things worked in the 16th century. Ferdinand and Isabella created the Spanish Empire by defeating the French time and time again. They were so powerful after that that the rest of Europe used to accuse them of trying to establish a "Universal Monarchy." My wife's Okie father used to talk all the time about the "blood thirsty Spaniards." He had a Spanish wife, so he was always ribbing her about that. It might have been because she tried to stab him with a butcher-knife shortly after they were married. (He took it away from her after minimum bloodshed) When I knew them, they were nice people. She was from Andalusia, and he was from Oklahoma. They met in San Francisco during "the war." The mother liked me because i worked for the newspapers, and according to her that meant that I knew all the inside stories about what really goes on. She was a real pistol. The Dad was like Clint Eastwood.

2018-10-25 05:33:00 UTC  

@OMGDwayne well, *do* you know the inside stories about what really goes on??

2018-10-25 05:33:33 UTC  

Maybe she was on to something

2018-10-25 05:35:49 UTC  

having talked to people who edit the news... it doesn't seem so exciting
