"Believe me my young friend there is NOTHINGabsolutely nothinghalf so much worth doing as simply having recondite iterative arguments about minor details in books. @HattsworthIsYou @emperor_kane @ReviewsPossum "it's impossible to talk to the eagles unless they ask their buddy Johnny the Eagle Talker. Also the eagles won't do stuff for people unless aforementioned friend of the protagonists Johnny the Eagle Talker asks them to". Insurmountable obstacle really. No way around it @HattsworthIsYou @emperor_kane @ReviewsPossum "it's impossible to talk to the eagles unless they ask their buddy Johnny"

"As a chronic interrupter of the lower classes (you) I demonstrate my inherent nobility by inviting you continue your peasant tale of beets or wenches or the growing of wheat. Whatever.

"@GScottShand @xwanyex Here's what happens. Every partisan on both sides produces a string of polls and elections for dog catcher in Hasenpfeffer county that they swear indicate a world shattering swing in their direction. This fairly rarely happens. Trump [--] is the most significant I can recall"

"There's a stupid type of dunk across the spectrum where someone performs astonishment that their political opponent's immediate relatives defend them. It is extremely irritating and stupid.

"To be contrarian all those quaint little ancient traditions in Europe were this at the time. Just a bunch of bored peasants and the priest decided they could dress up as monsters and parade through the town once in a while.

"@JVanMaren For decades the most popular sport on riverboats was "Gouging" where you attempted to gouge your opponents eye out to win. Lincoln was a regional wrestling champ. George Washington distilled excellent rye and the Sugar Act was a big deal because it raised the price of rum"
