Iceland has a pure patronymic naming system, like most of the world at one time. So everybody's named for dad, varying only by gender (-sson, -dottir).
Had never thought of this. WTF will Iceland do about the idiotic "transgender" and pronoun nonsense? They only have two suffixes, for the two actual genders. Posted by: rhomboid at February 22, 2020 05:30 PM (El6T/) 28
13 Gonna guess the Icelandic lass's last name ends in ..... -tochter.
Just a guess. Posted by: rhomboid at February 22, 2020 05:25 PM (El6T/) Huh. "-tochter" is an Icelandic suffix? I thought Icelandic names either ended in "son" or "dottir". In this case, the latter. Her name is Arna Yr Jonsdottir and I took out the accents because they tend to make pixy barf.

NV primary raises the musical question: who is a more ridiculous candidate for prez of the USA, Obama or Sanders? Both absurd, but in different ways.
The country irredeemably beclowned and significantly damaged itself by letting Obama anywhere near an important position, and is unlikely to do the same with Bernie. Posted by: rhomboid at February 22, 2020 05:32 PM (El6T/) 36

NV's very weird. It's sort of like Alaska or Wyoming or Montana - mountain western "conservative" country - with Philadelphia or Cook County in the southern corner (Clark County, Lost Wages). More of an old-fashioned union machine than a corruptocracy (Cook County) or an ethnic machine (Philly).
I'm expecting Trump to win NV this time. Not by a lot - but he didn't lose it by a lot last time. Posted by: rhomboid at February 22, 2020 05:41 PM (El6T/) 68

With a big divided field, the 15% requirement for getting delegates is going to hand the nomination to Bernie
NV shows this. Now add Bloomberg to the mix. If Bernie gets 25 to 30%, and the others don't get 15%, it's winner take all. There will be pressure for some to drop out, but they'll mostly hang on until Super Tuesday ten days and it will be over Bloomberg's plan will have backfired Posted by: Ignoramus at February 22, 2020 05:43 PM (ZFdlO) 78

Melania's first pic:
Melania Trump brought her signature stilettos to the NASCAR Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Sunday. The 49-year-old first lady was clad in a black-and-white midi dress from Christian Dior, which she belted at the waist with a laser-cut white leather belt from Alaia, available on Net-a-Porter.com for $1,370. On her feet, Trump wore her go-to power pumps, choosing Christian Louboutin's So Kate silhouette. The style has a 4.75-inch heel, a pointed toe and a low-cut topline, a feature that serves to elongate the length of the leg. Nordstrom.com stocks the classic pumps for $675.

Okay. Who's Philip Haney ? The guy that sold the farm to Mr. Douglas ? Posted by: JT at February 22, 2020 05:51 PM (arJlL) TGP summary: DHS whistleblower Philip Haney was found dead on Friday. The whistleblower against the Obama administration was shot dead near his vehicle in California. Haney told Sean Hannity in 2016 that he was ordered during the Obama administration to scrub the record of Muslims in the US with terrorist ties. The story of his death has still not been reported by the mainstream media. Haney had been missing since Wednesday. Philip Haney said political correctness during the Obama years killed the investigation that might have stopped the San Bernardino Christmas terrorists. from Law Enforcement Today: https://tinyurl.com/thcy7yb Multiple sources tell us that Philip's body was discovered outside San Francisco, CA, last night. The current indications point to him being shot to death. It is unclear when it happened or how. The details are still emerging. As soon as we have more information, we will provide an update. Friends of Haney told us that they spoke with Haney earlier this week and he'd never been happier. They've suggested there's absolutely no way he would have taken his own life, and reinforce that he's had many enemies since he blew the whistle on the Obama administration. Close friends of Haney tell us that his wife lost her battle with cancer in 2019. Haney was engaged to be married later this year. The author of See Something, Say Nothing was preparing to go back on the road in advance of the upcoming election. He was currently living in California, just west of San Francisco. In 2018, Haney told Intercessors for America prayer activists that he had been working on a special assignment in Minnesota to stop Rep. Keith Ellison from being elected Minnesota's Attorney General. As we approach the 2020 elections, friends of Haney's told us he was planning on doubling down on efforts to protect America from progressive leftists socialists. ....

Lovely picture of Melania and the dress is beautiful. I have never worn a dress of that style. How do you keep if falling off your chest. It's tight enough to have that not happen, or you affix it with some kind of tape type thing?. Sorry; It's a stupid question. I just don't know.

Since I am almost never on the book thread because of church duties, I will share this here. I am re-reading or reading for the first time the "Anne of Green Gables" series. I read Anne of Windy Poplars and maybe one other, but they are the kinds of books which I think many 'ettes could appreciate as adults. It is a pleasant, restful kind of reading of a bygone era and uplifting. I have also re-read "Little Women" as an adult and I enjoyed that too.

Greater Idaho is the counties east of the Cascades plus south of Eugene leaving and joining the state of Idaho.
Modeled to some extent on the West VA legislature offering to take the VA counties who want to leave because of Gov Coonman and his gun grabbing assholes in Richmond.

The Kehlsteinhaus (known as the Eagle's Nest in English-speaking countries) is a Third Reich-era building erected atop the summit of the Kehlstein, a rocky outcrop that rises above the Obersalzberg near the town of Berchtesgaden. It was used exclusively by members of the Nazi Party for government and social meetings. It was visited on 14 documented instances by Adolf Hitler, who disliked the location due to his fear of heights, the risk of bad weather, and the thin mountain air.

AOC grew up in the suburbs. If she was really from The Bronx, she'd be with a Dominican gang banger

The word "fuck" as a crutch emphasis, it will mark the 2000-2020 era. In the 90s gangsters held their pistols sideways, even in timeless movies like The Usual Suspects. Now it marks bad work like Picard and good work like The Witcher. Avoiding "fuck" is a font of creativity.

> So Comrade 'Breadline' Bernie is projected to win tonight.
He's not just winning, he's kicking the living shit out of the others. He's up by 2x over Plugs, 3x over ButtJizz, and 5x over Fauxcahontas. You can stick a fork in Fauxcahontas, I think. She was close to being out of money anyway, and that kind of performance isn't gonna inspire many donations. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at February 22, 2020 09:25 PM (Ewo9R) 561
OregonMuse is a bit rusty when it comes to electronic chessboards.
The fantastic Galileo chessboard captured and moved pieces off the board automatically back in 1989. Posted by: Nonono at February 23, 2020 06:09 AM (2Cm6i) Processing 0.09, elapsed 0.0991 seconds. |
