Do you really believe anyone who tells you "I know nothing"?

[EGS Strip Slaying]

The only way Principal Verruckt would try making those the official uniforms in canon would be if a laundry service and several murals were included.

You know, bringing up the Emissary made me wonder, is the Emissary himself a Seer?

The Emissary was only the Emissary in the Dream State.

I don't think Dan ever established who DW was supposed to be when not acting as the Emissary.

In all likelihood, he remembered even less about these encounters when awake than Grace did.  Otherwise, he could have taken more direct action himself.

Waaay to many skeletons in my closet.

Take a lesson from Egypt.

Keep your skeletons under wraps.

Hockey about to start.

Finland v USA Women.

I need to get up in less than five hours....

Wait ... what so strange about it?

You're right.  

There is no reason why anyone should expect Politicians to study classical literature, or even history.

Recently, candidates for the Republican Presidential Nomination were pressured into pledging support for the eventual nominee.  To prevent the GOP vote from being split by third party or independent candidates.  At the time I wanted to hear at least one of them reference how that plan resulted in the Trojan war.

They didn't.

That makes one wonder: how many of similar treaties are still in effect? And how pissed would current national leaders need to be to actually go with it?

Strangely, this is exactly the way the Trojan war began in legend.

So, this comic was written by Dan, who is a character created by Sarah. Based on this, I conclude that this is really Sarah's who dreamed up this fantasy sequence!

This make sense to me.

But then again, I thought keeping the Illinois Tollway from operating the Chicago Skyway also made sense.

Watching Figure Skating Pairs in the Team Event.

The size difference between the men and women in some of these figure skating pairs reminds me of when I saw Michael Jordan and Mary Lou Retton standing side by side at a Wheaties reunion.

Pumpkin dessert tamales. Delicioso.

Is the Pumpkin incorporated into the dough?  Or is Pumpkin the filling?

[What Are You Listening To?]

Earlier this evening I heard some crickets that were not quite in synch with each other.

The rhythm almost perfectly matched "The Hustle".

Have insects evolved Disco?

I imagine that even when we have teleportation technology available, "Rush Hour" will still drop rate of travel well below the speed of light.

A game of magical transformations needs an interlude of imagined magical transformations between the fictional magical transformations?

Does Gallifrey even have a delegation to the International Olympic Committee?

Would the second heart be considered a competitive advantage?

And how do you incorporate time-travel into sport without undermining competition?

I'd spend every mile desperately racing for the next toilet.

That event is traditionally dominated by American spectators and tourists.

As a people, we often fail epically when consuming foods and beverages beyond our borders.

I am now almost certain that Hecka is involved with this "Will of Magic" voice.

Where can I try out for Team Nyquil?

I felt a little sorry for the OAR players because their uniform looked like a bad retail job company polo shirt.

If even a fraction of the drug and doping violations charged against the Russian Olympic Team officials are true, the Russian team does deserve some sanctions.

But will taking away the team Name, Colors, and Uniform from the 2018 athletes really punish the 2014 managers and politicians?

Considering the madness to combine unrelated components that afflicts so many weapons makers, I am actually surprised that no one has yet built an armored (that is to say, a tank) Zamboni.

Hippy?

Are we supposed to shout "Hip, Hip, Hurray"?

Should I make comments about "Hungry, Hungry, Hippies"?

Is the game being played in the Hippydrome?

Posted in wrong thread.

The last time Olympic Games were held in Korea, almost nothing was broadcast live in the US.
But that was before NBC learned how to use a whole lotta cable channels to spread out commentary and commercials.

On a slightly related matter, does anyone else think Biathlon style shooting should be a part of freestyle skiing, ski jumping, and/or figure skating?

I had observed that a gruff personality is often a trait of essentially good people in EGS.

The Will of Magic, however, does need to learn diplomacy.

What a way to learn that the Fairy Godmother met just yesterday is now lost to Tedd.  Possibly forever.

It falls apart in that the albatross' natural habitat mostly lies on the southern half of the globe... none of them near Egypt.

Next you'll say that the Nile Penguin Battalions are not native to Lake Victoria as their agent assured me.
