Since they all lived in Vienna at the same time, I wonder if Hitler, Stalin, Trotsky, Lenin & Tito ever were all at the pub together, or at a dinner party?

I know I've seen Hereditary. I know I liked it. I'll be damned if I can remember how it finishes though. Rewatching it just now.

Been looking over Civil War era revolver replicas...
I'm a wee tad surprised the Smith & Wesson Models 1 & 2 aren't a little more popular... 
Then again, I suppose even Farbys would rather their cylinder stay in the gun...

Check out the lemat revolver.

As a child I thought the song "House of the rising sun", was a warning about becoming addicted to gambling.

Today, I found out The Tail Gators changed their name to The Tailgators, except, there already was a group called The Tailgators, so now, I'm going to have a hard time distinguishing one from the other on Spotify & iTunes, but not on Bandcamp which still lists them as The Tail Gators, and is the only place that has their third album, but not their forth or fifth.....

The hit Animals version is about gmabling. The original folk song is sung from the perspective of a woman and is about prostitution.

I always thought the Animal's version was about a brothel!  :buggedout:

Well, brothels in New Orleans used to have gambling, drinking and whoring---all the stuff that makes life worth living under one roof!

But when a woman sings the song, it's clear that it's about her becoming a prostitute, not just frequenting a brothel. Much more devastating.

Always understood "House of the Rising Sun" to be about a brothel.  That JOAN BAEZ version is awesome.

Just played a couple of hours of Firefly with Kristi. Damn but that woman doesn't take any prisoners, setting Reavers on my poor crew at every turn and having them eat a cargo hold full of passengers (well, ok fugitives, but that doesn't mean they are bad people).

Which means they do weird things for seemingly arbitrary, incomprehensible reasons.

Got a new player joining my D&D game. Going to be doing a character with them tonight, so hopefully they can join in on Sunday.

First time I've ever ran a D&D game where the female players outnumber the male ones.
