I see fr is being sued for Scientology/Civil Rights. Apparently Jim Robinson is involved in a Lisa McPherson style assault and battery.
Anyone know anything?
Good Dog Nigel
Arf, arf, he goes, a merry sight,
Our little hairy friend,
Arf, Arf, upon the lampost bright
Arfing round the bend.
Nice dog! Goo boy,
Waggie tail and beg,
Clever nigel, jump for joy
Because we're putting you to sleep at three of the clock, Nigel.
Die under a molasses avalanche!!!
1919 2 million gallons of molasses "Tidal wave" Boston MA, drowning 21 I had to find out more on this one!
Forty minutes past noon on 15 January 1919, a giant wave of molasses raced through Boston. The unseasonably warm temperature (46 degrees) was the final stress needed to cause a gigantic, filled-to-capacity tank to burst. 2,320,000 gallons (14,000 tons) of molasses swept through the streets, causing death and destruction.
Eyewitness reports tell of a "30-foot wall of goo" that smashed buildings and tossed horses, wagons and pool tables about as if they were nothing. Twenty-one people were killed by the brown tidal wave, and 150 more were injured. The chaos and destruction were amplified -- and rescue efforts were hampered -- by the stickiness of the molasses. Those persons attempting to aid others all too often found themselves mired fast in the goo.
The day after the disaster, The New York Times reported:
A dull, muffled roar gave but an instant's warning before the top of the tank was blown into the air. The circular wall broke into two great segments of sheet iron which were pulled in opposite directions. Two million gallons of molasses rushed over the streets and converted into a sticky mass the wreckage of several small buildings which had been smashed by the force of the explosion. The greatest mortality apparently occurred in one of the city buildings where a score of municipal employees were eating their lunch. The building was demolished and the wreckage was hurled fifty yards. The other city building, which had an office on the ground floor and a tenement above, was similarly torn from its foundations.
One of the sections of the tank wall fell on the firehouse which was nearby. The building was crushed and three firemen were buried in the ruins.
Boston is not a city that forgets anything easily. There are those who claim that on a hot summer day in the North End, you can still smell the molasses.

I did a drawing of a patch of the "Infernal Order of Rabbits"...

Thank you... I was pretty impressed with that one myself.....
Good ol' Bobwade just finished restoring a M1 Garand for me this summer. I've put about 50 rounds through it and am ready to go troll hunting. (I've heard they taste like spotted owl)
They kinda taste like mimes.
And mimes taste like spotted owls.
And spotted owl tastes like chicken.
Say what?
Are you hearing this???
Mimes, huh? I hadn't heard that before.(groan)
He's not spotted owl.
Besides, He's got clout.
Well, if a tree falls in the forest, and it lands on a mime, does he still taste like chicken?
Yer back-pedalling........
Interesting Tagline. I've said something like that a few times. I call it perceived truth. If it's said, someone out there is stupid enough to think it's true.
"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
LOL!
