OK. This is a bit hyperbolic and extreme. Our recess wasn’t quite that feral. We never completely descended into Lord of the Flies territory. Still though, compared to the later generations, it was more than little like this.

I'm A Grognard

Yes, I’m A Grognard

Oh yes. I am very much a grognard. I started play Dungeons & Dragons in 1977 with the Holmes edition of Basic D&D. And, yes again. I do have dice older than you in all likelihood. Hellfire! I’ve got dice older than some – probably most – of your parents. 😛

Oh, and I do still have dice just like those from the old game sets when that was the only way you could get dice other than 6-sided.

Media Fact-Checkers

This is what passes for the news media today in America. How their fact-checkers handle public testimony is an example of why they are not trusted by almost any Americans and not even by that many Democrats and likely Democrats. Of course, those same Democrats and likely Democrats don’t really care. While they don’t trust the Lamestream Media and its fact-checkers, they find their mendacity useful.

Ahh… I love looking back on the classic Volkswagens, especially the iconic Beetle and the much rarer Millipede. 😛

CQ. CQ. People who get this joke, CQ. 😆 For the rest of you – I’m guessing the younger two generations – go ahead and look it up.
