There’s a part of me that wants to commend Trump for getting that speech translated in a reasonably intelligible way from its original North Korean dialect.
Sorry – you’re confusing mimeographs with Ditto copies (properly a Spirit Duplicator, which sounds like something a Medium should be using to publicize messages from Beyond the Grave). Dittos were the ones that used the odiferous fluid. Mimeos don’t really have much of an odor at all.
Mimeos are generally black. Ditto copies were in color – usually purple, although they could also be pink or green.
I’m not surprised. I spent most of my childhood confused about just about everything. Even now that I’m an old lady, sometimes I sit in a room with a group and have no idea what’s going on around me. That’s why I need the SDMB to help me navigate the world. I told someone yesterday, “I need closed-captioning on my life.” Carry on.
The smell of second grade for me . . . that and the smell of chewed carrots that that one girl puked-up showing off her burp at will skilz.
ETA, and the smell of twenty kids pasting macaroni to paper plates to make Christmas wreaths . . . that were spray-painted gold in class.
I used to show this short clip from Fast Times at Ridgemont High in one of college “Intro to Computers” class. At one time it was a required class for nearly everyone at our community college, so I had students of all ages. I joked that I could tell how old a student was if they got the joke. Sometimes I would ask someone who laughed to explain what was so funny to the younger students: “Before copy machines were common…”
Every time I think we’ve scraped the bottom of the barrel, I find we’re nowhere close.
From the article:
Mr. Nitze also revisited an email from May 2016, shortly after Mr. Barrack’s meeting with Sheikh Tahnoun, from Mr. al-Malik. In the email, Mr. al-Malik suggested a meeting between the sheikh and Mr. Trump, adding that Emirati officials had agreed to use Mr. Barrack as the “only channel” to Mr. Trump.
Mr. Barrack forwarded the email to Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, altering it and adding lines that elaborated on Mr. Barrack’s discussions with the Emirati officials.
May 2016. They sure didn’t waste any time, did they?
