Tomorrow (first Monday of March) is Casimir Pulaski Day in Chicago. City Holiday, kids get school off. A true American hero! Anyway... That's the "hick element" and long vowels. Here: Cairo, Illinois is: KAY-ro. /smdh...

On that note... Marseilles, Illinois is pronounced: "Mar-Sails." I guess that's NOT so bad and too overly hicky... Why does Des Moines get pronounced proper and then Des Plaines get botched? For fear of sounding like Herve Villachaize? "De Planes! De Planes!" 😏 Same with Versailles, Illinois... Ver-Sails.

Worcester, MA. When did it become Wooster, OH... Tchoupitoulas street (NOLA)... ACTUALLY... Isn't there a word for this? The ability to ferret out any outsiders in a local culture? Anything in the God forsaken Midwest too. Don't even ask how they say: Bourbonnais Cairo San Jose Illinois. You'll dig your ears out with red-hot pokers! 😆

TikTok I heard somewhere automatically ads like a 10% filter that they don't tell you about. Yup that's right! I am 54 going on 48.6! Trust me, makes all the difference! 😆 Like Gug said... She looks 45.9. 😏

Now this damn song is stuck in my head! "...Let me go on Like I blister in the sun Let me go on Big hands, I know you're the one..."

It is now!

You just made the big time buddy! TBDism! 😆 😉

From a "Would Ya" thread: "...really none of schabusiness." 😆

Check out the pre-song ribbing, banter... 😆...

Mary Jane Lamond on vocals w/Ashley... Actually a traditional Celtic song. Here she is with Ashley's cousin Wendy MacIsaac on fiddle: Little bit about Ashley: "His cousins Alexis MacIsaac, Wendy MacIsaac and Natalie MacMaster are also touring fiddlers. He is also a distant cousin of the White Stripes guitarist and lead vocalist Jack White. The two met and MacIsaac opened for the White Stripes concert in Glace Bay in 2007."

In honor of "March" and all things kinda Irish and Spring!

Yeah! They just need to grin and bear it!

Liar liar pants on fire! 😉

I'd ski that vertical! 😏

I know someone who shoots invasive goats. 😉 And a box of "Franken Berry" was only a supermarket shelf away! 😉 https://www.fatherly.com/health-science/franken-berry-stool-medical-condition/

Wow! Never thought it existed. Horsey sauce snobs! 😏 C. FWIW... Too many damn Arby's closing!

I think Burrow is gonna be injury-prone. Get dinged up constantly. My wife got all bent when I said during SB that Joe is gonna be a "crystal chandelier." 😆 Calmed her down by saying Josh is the real deal! 😏

Hell yes!

Some people dream of the world being run like Disney. Did you know ever Disney Employee must pick up garbage if they see it littered about. From the highest CEO to the lowest peon. AND must do it nonchalantly and with one graceful unobtrusive swoop. That should make you feel better that you were cast out of paradise! 😆 Take 2 Tylenol and call me in the morning! https://www.studyfinds.org/tylenol-can-alleviate-the-pain-from-social-rejection-study-finds/ 😁

The Church is nowhere even close to being at rock bottom again with the science! Not even close! Same culturally. Yet... When has anything been NOT about the dinero!

Because they are getting screwed. Like losing a close one, or getting blown out. I can handle a blow out better. Until I am proven wrong, Bills are right on script. Keep the rabid fans on a leash. No reason the League needs them to win, the Bills fans aren't going anywhere!

More than just football. Mostly other places here...
