Anything else, even religion, just not politics- too polarizing. I still think Clay needs to get himself a political show where he can help people see both sides and still bring the funny. Meghan’s getting her ass kicked over on the View. When they fire her, she’ll be available 🤣 Quote Link to post

merrieeee 489 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Hee! In 1895 the New York World published a “list of don’ts” for women cyclists, including “Don’t go without a needle and thread”, “Don’t ask ‘what do you think of my bloomers?’ and ‘Don’t scream if you meet a cow.’” Quote Link to post

FearofH2O 86 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Weird comment I read in an article about Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18 year old who shot and killed two BLM protesters. He was seen drinking in a bar with some Proud Boys. Anyway they were singing "Proud of You Boy", supposedly their theme song. What a waste of a beautiful song. Quote Link to post
Mik4clay 24 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 From Aladdin? They better not have desecrated Clays song Quote Link to post
ldyjocelyn 420 Posted January 15 Author Report Share Posted January 15 That honestly troubles me. It means that either those guys were fans of Broadway or Clay Aiken. Shudder. Sorry I haven't been around much lately. My college starts back up next week, and the week before is always a crazy time for the librarians, especially in the pandemic. Faculty members are asking us for resources left and right, and we try to get to all the departmental meetings to talk about the library. Plus we are down one librarian at the moment, because of paternity leave. New podcast is up: Quote Link to post
