It wasn't just a static image. They made a movie showing the different stages dropping away.

I considered going, but it's been too damn hot, and I don't like going to crowded events downtown unless there is a really compelling reason.

misik, according to wikipedia, Abigail Rogan was born July 23, and today is July 29th.

Close enough that I won't ban you for putting a link to what I presume was one of her porn movies in the post.

But you're very close to getting banned. Three posts and one link to porn. Not good. We are extra cautious with new users, but your other posts were on target, so I think you might be a real person.

So I had a cup of coffee, and slowly figured out what you misisk was up to. Copying posts from other members and passing them off as their own. And then that pron link. And to top it off, I kept misspelling misisk's handle when trying to look them up to ban them, I thought somebody else all ready banned them, but they were still there.

I need more coffee.

Coffee's good. I approve and recommend!

Groucho, I have always loved the quote.

[Gravdigr]

The only Groucho thing I remember:

Paraphrasing:

Groucho, entering an office: Mr. Fragilly, I'm looking for Mr. Fragilly. I have a package for a Mr. Fragilly.

A man looks at the package and sees the word "Fragile" on it, and says: You imbecile, that says fragile.

Groucho says: Oh. I thank you. Mr. Fragile, Mr. Fragile, I have a package for a Mr Fragile.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitchee Goomee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy

With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty
That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early
