I do from time to time. No big deal. "Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)" ~Song of Myself, Walt Whitman. YOU should try it sometime. CliffNotes explanation: "When Whitman writes, "Do I contradict myself? / Very well then I contradict myself, / (I am large, I contain multitudes)," he is embracing something that is typically thought of as a shortcoming or something that makes a person appear to be unreliable. He makes the act of contradicting oneself something positive: a person who contradicts himself, in Whitman's view, is a person who has more to discover about himself, more to contribute to the world from himself. More often, we are told that we must adhere to our principles all the time, but we rarely discuss the fact that those principles can change. We are told that we must be consistent or risk appearing weak and unreliable: Whitman clearly doesn't care a pittance for such appearances. It is as though, for him, the person who never contradicts himself hasn't considered life deeply enough or leads a too-simple interior life."

Question everything. That is all. If you read carefully, I was faulting CC...

Yeah... But even the strongest concrete isn't escaping that hole it's been sinking in for 40 years... 🙃😉

Wasn't it an injury? Then Joe Cribbs came along and he was out like yesterday's news. Ground to a pulp. Ds got onto him. Notice some of those runs. Everyone is in the box. He must have lost the quickness? But yeah, I'd like to hear the full story...

It only gets stronger when it is exposed to seawater. Great idea, let's build and live in the sea! 😏

Bird related, per my other post. The explanation about birds and hot things: https://www.straightdope.com/21342997/are-birds-immune-to-hot-pepper-enabling-them-to-eat-vast-amounts-and-spread-the-seeds Interesting. You stick a piece of wood between the suet cages to attract the woodpeckers?

I thought all 11 were skilled?

25°F out... Nice! 😆

Not sure where I heard this... But birds I believe don't have mucus membranes? So they are immune to the effects of capsaicin. Why they can eat peppers and propagate the plant like the ghost peppers... Anybody hear this?

Just think... Will be living in the sea sooner than later with regard to climate change. This may come in handy! 😉

And rightly so! It's just a stadium! What did you expect to see. 😉😜 They should have tackled and tazed you. Something to remember. 😆

We will see if he's still alive: https://www.newsweek.com/john-mcafee-suicide-q-instagram-dead-mans-switch-1603638?amp=1

It did stand for 40 years.

Holy crap! How does that happen? Sinkhole of some sorts? That close to water, how is foundation supported? It held for 40 years. Has to be something way underground? Why I mentioned sinkhole? Is that possible?

Yes they do have earthly equivalents. I take you never drove US41 from Winnetka to Gary. Heaven and hell is very distinct. 😏

You tell 'em! They are pretty mean in W.Seneca: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/06/nyregion/face-mask-criminally-negligent-homicide.html

If the earth really is flat, why is it so hard for cartographers to accurately depict it on one flat piece of paper? 😏😼😏

Who's Jon Hamm?

Cole Beasley. Drop the mic.

Have you checked out the: "Name This Person Thread?" Miracles do happen! 😜

You sir are evil, pure evil! 😆... I'd still lick the "War Paint" off...* *...With @BringBackFergy & @Gugny 's tongue! 😆🤣

Nobody goes to the Poles. They need to be distorted, helps their self-esteem! 😉😜

Yeah... They take an elevator, that inverts, to the other side! SEE, the earth really is flat! 😉

I wanna be lauched to space! 😉😜😘 Fergy would never start a petition to keep me there! 😉

Same here. I was stunned into a stupor. Okay, that's NOT really hard to do!
