Fabled
Radio scriptwriters mastered the technique of creating a full image in a few words. The cheaper shows overused great to describe a great mansion on a great boulevard in a great city.

Orphan
Not especially important, just an absolutely perfect instance of the old joke about chutzpah. = = = = = START QUOTE: Fowler pled guilty to numerous counts of bank fraud, wire fraud, and operating an unlicensed money transmitter last April.

Credit footnote
I’ve been quoting this wonderful piece of wisdom often, but forgot the original source. I found the original just now when I was looking back through Gaian stuff in connection with RFK. I first quoted it in 2011. The source was Jim Hopkins in New Zealand, writing on the GWPF anti-Gaian website, which no longer…

Crannogs vs Quages
LiveScience has a nicely written article on crannogs. At first I thought these were the same as quages, but they’re not. Crannogs are anchored islands, basically the same as breakwaters or polders. Put down some rocks or junk cars in a lake, and pretty soon plants will turn the deposit into an island. Quages are…

Hard answer to soft question 5
Continuing an irrelevant series. The question this time was ‘If free classes were offered, what would you like to learn?’ In this case you could pick out the SERIOUS answer by looking at the names, not the answers. The correlation is perfect. And we wonder why China is winning…

A new SES
I used to collect Self-Explanatory Sentences, extremely condensed statements of an entire life or situation. The “virus” hoaxocaust knocked out most of my old habits and enjoyments as I focused on raw survival. Trying to bring back this habit now that the hoaxocaust is briefly paused…….. Defund the courts. Perfect SES. The courts are currently…
