    The Imperial dynasty was a long line of arranged marriages between the Royal House and the great houses until the Jackson Coup. Prince Roger, survived an assassination attempt, overthrew the coup and regained the throne for his house. Prince Roger had the temerity to marry a Sergeant of his Royal Marine close protection detail. Despite the morganatic nature of the marriage, Princess Nimachet was wildly popular with the public, and bore the royal heir, Arthur.

    Hummm... perhaps GA could confer Knighthoods for exceptional writing achievements. Sir @Comicality has a nice ring to it. ^ I'll bet he blushed.

    With the talent here, we could make something exceptional. In fact, that's not a bad idea.

    Star Warz should have been a license to print money for Dizney. However, the writing for Darth Maus was so bad, I'm confident that at least a dozen writers on this site could have done better. Can you imagine how much better it would have been if six of our best had done the writing? @DomLuka @Comicality @Dabeagle @Cia @Myr Bob Iger - fire Klutzleen Kennedy and call us. We'll put you back in the black. Hard.

    I used to enjoy post-apocalyptic stories, but now they make me nervous. Every time I think our politicians have reached rock bottom, they discover a new nadir. They are in for a shock when the people wake up and start constructing guillotines.

    The arrival of the Greek phalanx was a rude shock on the battlefields of the classical period. It imposed tight discipline and teamwork their contemporaries could not match. Alexander the Great conquered the known world with the phalanx. Given the metallurgy of the time, nothing could stand against it until the Romans arrived with their shield wall and iron weapons. You may have noticed in Peter Jackson's treatment of Tolkien's The Hobbit, in the Battle of the Seven Armies, the Dwarves of the Iron Hills used a form of the phalanx.

    This grudge has been going on for longer than I thought.

    Our inscrutable wizard knows the corporate media just repeats government lies to maintain the existing power structure... which needs all the help it can get. Besides for exposure to annoying pro-oligarchy propaganda, one of the most enervating things I can think of is walking down a country road in Mississippi during July or August. There's a reason our area code is 601. We're that close to hell. 🔥

    Baker Mayfield's career was a disaster until he got to LA. Under Sean McVay's tutelage, he's improved his numbers across the board. Good coaching matters. Mayfield may not be a starter next year, but it won't hurt him to carry a clipboard and learn.

    One of my favorite author's characters often gives people an arch look(1). I've not sure anyone knows exactly what that means. One claim is the person looks at you with an arched eyebrow. Another claim is that it means "mischievous or playful". Yet another says it means stern or foreboding. Since I can't define it, I won't use it. My characters will raise an eyebrow, appear mischievous or possibly stern, but will give no one an arch look. _________________________ 1) The Lost Fleet by Jack Campbell's Senator Victoria Rione.

    The pinnacles are one of the many spectacular features at Crater Lake National Forest in Oregon that get overlooked. They were actually fumaroles that formed before Mount Mazama's catastrophic caldera forming eruption. The heat caused these features to solidify and remain after the soil eroded from them. If you ever get a chance to see Crater Lake, go! You might want to stay a week and hike all over the park.

    Jeff Beck died Jan. 10th. I can't describe how good he was as a guitarist. He was enormously talented, played for the Yardbirds and, practically, everybody else in rock. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice - once was a Yardbird and again as a solo artist. Jeff Beck Dies Suddenly of Meningitis (ABC) Here's one of my favorites. If you have a streaming service, do yourself a favor and look for some of his work. I suggest the albums Blow by Blow, Wired or There and Back. His work transcended genres spanning rock, blues and, jazz. He was a great influence on music and was known to often work with promising young artists. I'm going to miss him.

    In football, it doesn't matter how high you are drafted or resplendent you look in your uniform if you can't play.

    Off the Rails

    JamesSavik commented on Comicality's blog entry in Writing World

    Some of us live in the woods, way off the rails, and haven't been on the rails this millennium.

    On the classic B-17g bomber, the dorsal turret is often called the top turret. Crewmen much preferred this position to the ball turret on the bottom of the bomber.
