78 Folks, there's no need to see this as creepy. To me, it's just and old man leaning on a little girl, perhaps his granddaughter or even great-granddaughter, for support. It's a nice contrast of age and youth.

No need to perv up an innocent scene.

That we do so says a lot about the perversity and depravity of our own society.

Hmmm, there are two choices before you as you've stated them.

1) Gently keep them from building a nest in an undesirable area.

2) Eat their children.

I think I'd go with #1. I got a dozen large eggs for under $2 the other night.

I think it is supposed to be any off topic comment before 100. Exactly what it says on the box.

The idea being that the cob or guest cob in question spent a lot of time preparing a post for the blog and having someone discussing how they really loved Popeye's Chicken sandwich is just rude and dismissive. Unless the guest cob did a post on chicken sandwiches and how McDonald's Chicken Biscuit breakfast sandwich was a delicious surprise.

161 World Cup tickets are expensive for the top tier teams and US team. But even there, it’s not as crazy as the media is making it out. As shocking as it is, the media - get this - lies.

Yeah best seats in the house are several thousands. But you can get upper deck seats for under $1000. For lower tier teams seats are in the $200-300 range. There are many college football games every year where tickets are more than that. Cheapest Super Bowl tickets are $5k every year. The big games command big prices for tickets. People were spending $1k for nosebleed seats to see Taylor Swift and the same media that is complaining about World Cup prices was celebrating that. Gee I wonder why that is? Could it be because TayTay is a Democrat sweetheart but Trump is president during the WC? Nah that’s crazy talk.

I’m not sure exactly what people expect. The WC is the biggest sports event in the world. It’s a once in a lifetime event for a lot of people. It’s not going to be cheap to attend.

He played military officers, successful business men, ministers of the cloth and ministers of government. With the bushy eyebrows and stoic face, he played men who know about honour, tradition, and the correct path."

Indeed. In general, you would expect the price to be higher in year 20xx + 10 than 20xx, so as some point between 20xx and 20xx + 10 you're likely to have a "most expensive x ever" year.

It does not surprise me that under Biden or under Trump we have the "most expensive" version of some event ever.

Because inflation doesn't stay at 0.0% and prices, over time, increase. The main places where we've seen prices fall is in tech where they learn to do some newer thing drastically better. And tech prices, having been put in the market basket, restrain the calculated rate of inflation.

Which generally give people the wrong idea of how fast the price of standard commodities are rising.

It's some of the most deliberately ignorant, intentionally dense propaganda out there.

It's not even good propaganda 'cause they're all so uneducated themselves, the best they can do is recycle the same lies they've relied upon for decades.

They're all on about how redistricting in TN is going to hurt Memphis.
Citing and quoting all the economic ills and racism that ail the city.
That ... are somehow the fault of redistricting that has barely taken effect.

And not caused by the decades-long control of the city by Dems.
Or that the lone D Congressional seat was held by a white man.
Who all have done nothing to help the city in their decades.

It's good that's their best propaganda.

243 174 Grampa here looks like Jimmy Durante, yes, but also like a Old Hollywood fellow named C. Aubrey Smith. He played Peter Lawford's father in the 1949 Little Women w/ June Allyson.

IMDb: "It was in 1930, with the advent of sound, that Smith found his position in the movies and that position would be distinguished roles. He played military officers, successful business men, ministers of the cloth and ministers of government. With the bushy eyebrows and stoic face, he played men who know about honour, tradition, and the correct path."
