What are you watching?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Any word on the five year koi posse? Or how many murderous illegal aliens have registered to vote?

Agreed. But I really want Mike and Maryanne gone. They're like from ngernails on n a blackboard - if there's anybody who remembers what a blackboard is.
Maryanne could be dragged along as a goat if no one kills her first.

Re: What are you watching? Not the History bs Channel

The issue between UAB professor Sarah Parcak arose when Shatner tweeted about his History Channel show “The UnXplained” and the episode “Mysterious Ancient Ruins.”

“'Ancient ruins fascinate us. Some archaeological finds are so baffling that they challenge everything we know about the past. Will we ever learn the truth about these mysterious ruins? Or will they continue to present more questions than answers?” Shatner wrote."

"The tweet prompted questioning responses from several archaeologists, including Parcak who invited Shatner to send her a direct message to “engage if you are interested in learning why the premise of the show is problematic.”

Parcak later added some additional tweets."






And Shatner replied as any 7th grader with his feelies hurt would.

“'For a “supposed” archaeologist (who didn’t get a gig on my show by your own admissions and the fact you are upset); you do not have any idea of etymology which is really puzzling. “Butt hurt” has its roots in punishment such as spanking a child not homosexuality dear,” Shatner wrote today.

It is unclear what Shatner is referring to in the “Butt hurt” comment but fellow academics were quick to defend Parcak."

Why is Bachelor of Commerce grad Shatner even engaging with archaeologist critics? He doesn't do the research or write the copy, he just reads a script.

Opps. Dam autocorrect. There was not supposed to be a "from" either. Should have read "...like fingernails..."

Not that its apropos to the purpose of referencing fingernails on a slate-like wall-mounted writing space, but I don't recall anybody ever actually calling them "greenboards" even after they were all green. Sorta like people still "rolling down" the window in their car decades after there were no window handles.

Black boards are actually called black boards and are actually black.

Of course nobody calls them "green boards". That would be silly.

So maybe neonazis will start calling them that. IDK.

Don't think you're getting your Mike wish anytime soon.

They seem to be toning down the dumb.

Don't know why they'd keep Mike after the merge. But yeah, he's getting the good light.

Pretty much everyone who paints boards green would call them green boards, same as people who paint boards black will call black boards black boards. To do otherwise would be stupid and useless.

Now chalkboards are a different matter. Pretty much regardless of color, they are usually called chalkboards or blackboards.

I think they had to stop calling them "blackboards" because some time in the past they always made the Black kids take out the erasers for dusting.

I have never heard of that.

Although I do remember clapping erasers outside as being a sort of punishment for misbehavior.

You know, and I don't mean to be a party pooper, but part of the point of my wanting to take the van out on the road is to get away from TV/Internet/pop culture/etc.

Maybe I never grew out of my hippie phase.
