Once a dubious-looking man walked up to me on Bicentennial Commons and asked if I wanted to know something shocking, and I said sure, and he told me the world was only eight minutes old.

Nah, RC, I once began a story with that concept but I never got back to finishing it.

I was a huge ABBA fan when I was a kid.

My first fib I've told 😊🐢

Good for you! Glad you weren't ever an ABBA fan.


Well I am.  :lookingup:

I like some of their songs like Super Trouper and Lay All Your Love On Me but there was an unfounded rumor about them which was doing the rounds in Rhodesia in 1976 that they were linked to funding liberation movements in Africa through a church group: I hope that wasn't true.  :bluesad:

I have an unopened can of Planters cheese balls that was on a closet shelf here when I moved in, that based on matching it with label pictures off the internet, may be from about 1980.

Going to go with false. I think it was there when you moved in, but you've since got rid of it so that your children won't eat it.

I made it up, but my grandma used to buy those cans of cheese balls all the time, and back in the trans-fat days, they were really good.

It is true: the movie is called PLEKKIE IN DIE SON [A Place In The Sun] about a high society lady who is diagnosed with leprosy and is sent to the Westfort Leprosy Hospital in Pretoria (now closed) to be assisted and hopefully cured. She falls in love with a doctor there who cures her after many weeks and she leaves, only to return later to be with him and to give care to others as she herself received.

I would be very disappointed if somewhere out there, there isn't a poster for the movie with the tagline "She gave him her hand and any other bits that dropped off."

It's believed Elvis' death was instantaneous, because he was found with his palms facing up, indicating he was not conscious enough to try to raise himself up.
