I once wrote an inter-office memo that, as eagle-eyed readers were able to spot, spelled a novel three-word suggestion if one took just the first letter of each word. So I am going to overlook Sairam's use of "you and I" where "you and me" would be correct, because he just Rickrolled us magnificently.
Build the wall! And then play a silly game on milk crates right next to it!
Google has put out a chart showing the most-looked-up vocabulary word in 2020, state by state. I guess New Hampshire was "furious" that their neighbors in Vermont had trouble spelling "tong." (And in parentheses, I am proud to be from Maryland).
The 1970s saw the rise of unprecedented turmoil in America, and, looking back, it seems easy to attribute the unrest to too many people having breakfast in a kitchen like this and then leaving the house in a state of high agitation.
Just think of how many emergency runs this 1950 Cadillac ambulance took back in the day. If this old machine could talk...
Ernest Deffner reacts to the news that his company has warehouses chock-full of accordions going unsqueezed by running ads in the groovy teen magazines. At least one kid bought one and learned to play it, and he was Alfred Yankovic from Lynwood, CA.
A fine traditional buttered toast to you, and may no moose leave your girnal dry-eyed!
This is the Uffington White Horse, a prehistoric art work on an English hilltop. I mean, this thing dates back thousands of years, when people had the time to dig the horse outline in the ground and fill the holes with crushed white chalk. I've added this British attraction to the things I want to see someday when we row across the ocean, along with having dinner with the Whitecliffs (Earl and Doris) of Dover.
This is the now 119-year-old ham that P.D. Gwaltney, founder of the ham company that still bears his name, used to carry around with him. He said it was his "pet ham." The company says it would still be edible today, having been slow-cured all those years ago, but no one can find a 119-year-old loaf of rye bread.
Do you ever wonder whether Thomas Edison, in his later years, wished he had invented call waiting at the same time he created the telephone? This never-before-seen lithograph shows a disappointed Edison in despair over getting nothing but busy signals when trying to call in a request for his favorite radio station to play "Operator" by Jim Croce.

I wonder if Thomas Edison got calls about his car’s warranty?
You know Earl and Doris?? Small world!
