Not legal in IL. Lots of stuff going off around here and the occasional sounds of EMS and fire sirens.

Back when I lived in Chicago, a critter got into an electrical substation. Lots of noise, flashes and a few city blocks without power for a couple of hours.

Nothing so snooty. We're talking farm kids & townies. Quarters, "Judge & Jury", 7up, Bullshit, & Euchre.

Russia buys "ACME" brand shells from North Korea! I hope they buy even more!

Not when I was my turn. I was really good at it.

Nope, Malort wasn't widely known during the time I was with people who played quarters. Which is a darned shame.

In the military, you were supposed to be able to bounce a quarter off a correctly made bed. At a party, you're supposed to be able to bounce a quarter into a solo cup (or a rocks glass) to make whoever you want to drink. Just don't point at them or you have to drink too. And don't swear or you have to drink. Ah, screw it, just drink!

I thought it was the legendary black beast of ahhhhhhhhh.... and the castle was Anthrax.

Maybe he'll be the first against the wall when it comes...

In the movie "The Quiet Man", there's a scene where an elderly man is receiving last rites, when news arrives that the big fight that everyone had been hoping/waiting for has finally arrived. The reaction of the elderly man closely matches the Russian on the stretcher in this video...

Legal experts predict SCOTUS will overturn its own ruling...

I think you meant Congress (Legislative)... and the Judicial branch interprets the law.

Don't get why everyone is upset. Biden: "I hereby declare that Donald Trump is barred for life from running for POTUS. This decision is to protect the Constitution of the United States of America and within what the SCOTUS has decided is immune from prosecution. I furthermore declare the MAGA movement a terrorist entity."

Household stuff. Replace the UV unit in my HVAC, repair two water damaged ceiling sections, maybe repair the vent stack in the eave that's been plugged and rusted out since I got the place (who the heck had the idea that putting an 18" section of pipe perpendicular to the stack was a good idea?).

Heck of an advertisement for "Burning Tree Golf Course" (a favorite of Pres. Eisenhower).
