And the weird pauses before he confirms an answer as correct bug me. Yeah, I know it's nit-picking. Another pet peeve is when they don't give the context behind a difficult answer. I remember Dr. Oz doing this a couple times; a final Jeopardy answer was "This author was so upset by the musical made from her book, that when it was adapted into a stage play, she specified that no Americans be involved". The answer was PL Travers, the author of Mary Poppins; but he never identified the Mary Poppins connection, leaving viewers who hadn't seen "Saving Mr. Banks" to go look up what PL Travers had written. Anderson Cooper did that this week but I can't remember what the answer/question was.

That accounts for my knowing dozens of the dog names at the dog park, but knowing maybe four of the people's names.

I always wanted to name a dog "Rowdy", but wanted it to be short for something; all I came up with was "Rowena", which (if I remember correctly) is from "Ivanhoe". A friend's husky is named Russell; he said it was after Bertrand Russell, the philosopher. He considered "Bertrand" but thought Russell sounded better. I find there are a lot dogs named "Daisy", "Charlie", and "Thor" or "Loki".

Congratulations on the new family member! My black lab changed my life. She came with a name already, which I'm fine with.

From a tech article in the Detroit Free Press. Click on the mouse wheel button as a shortcut for "Open Link in New Tab". I use that a lot when browsing the forums, still trying to train my brain to use it Years ago a co-worker showed me that pressing the windows-leftarrow buttons simultaneously resized your current window to take up the left half of the screen. Ditto for right-arrow.

I'm finding Anderson kind of bland as a host. I'm very much looking forward to LeVar Burton.

According to the Downton Abbey wiki she was born in 1842, but I've never seen anything in the show refer to that specific date. https://downtonabbey.fandom.com/wiki/Violet_Crawley I put together a Downton Abbey timeline while I was bored during lockdown, basing it on dates I can glean from the show's events, and information in the wiki.

118th, actually :-P

Resurrecting a very old thread since i just started watching, on @tyro 's recommendation. I guess they must do a jump ahead, I just started season 2 & Travis Fimmel's son is still a kid. I'm totally crushing on Rollo.

it looks like Billy Herrington, but I can't identify where it's from.

Colby never escorted, he was pretty definite about never doing that.

anybody know who this is? He looks so familiar.

Aaron Rodgers' run is over, he faded a bit for a few days but finished strong. Next up is Anderson Cooper. LeVar Burton is petitioning to be a guest host, I hope that happens.

I remember the controversy a decade or so ago when Sarah Palin said something about "Paul Revere riding through the towns warning the British we were ready for them", and the Paul Revere page was flooded with edits from her supporters "correcting" the page. They finally closed it to edits until things died down.

Not to mention it's about as effective as the signs in office kitchens saying "If you finish the pot make another". the time wasters will waste your time no matter what you tell them.

That's a blast from the past. Ray Stockwell?

He had a funny bit a night or two when one answer (question ) nobody got was "What are the Green Bay Packers?", which was his team. He made some joke at the next answer, "Sure, you know THAT one...".

I'm really enjoying Aaron Rodgers' run as guest host. He's self-deprecatingly funny, he's got the technical aspects of the job down well, and damn, he's easy on the eyes.

I know none of my favorite Jamie's videos show up any more, and the last I checked the oldest video was from 2013 or so.

I love some of the titles. "The masseur could not restrain himself..." - it's Chaosmen, I don't think anyone expected him to restrain himself.

That could be. I wonder if they have an option to just put your own location (mine is just north of Detroit (directly south of Royal Oak )) and have it show nearby escorts in order of proximity to me.

There've been a few pictures about Dahmer already; Jeremy Renner played him early in his career. I'm interested in Ryan Murphy's take on it.

Wow - is that just a trick of the angle, or is he really so tall he barely fits through the door?

I miss it too, but my retirement fund does not.

No information on him, but I've always wondered about guys who post in a nearby suburb of a major city. His ad shows up in Royal Oak, but not in the Detroit listings - Royal Oak is 2 miles north of the Detroit border. I usually only check the "detroit" listings and only click on the surrounding cities if I notice them.
