You must not have a lot on your slate, taking on the mantle of telling us off like that. Kind of feels like a basalt. Stop being so aggragate, dude!
You’re right. I hit rock bottom with that one.
Y’all take two aspirin and call me in the mornin’, ya’ hear.
I kept thinking that we should page Qagdop. He’s a northern MD. Maybe he knows the guy.

The Dope has somebody perfect for answering every question.

That’s awfully nice of the MBTA to make some “singing subway lines” that sound like they are playing music when the trains run over them, like those “singing roads” that encourage a certain speed.

“I broke your window with my ball, and I’ve come to confess.”
I too thought it was about a court case at first.
Not to be confused with the Gasoline Alley character Hadley V. Baxendale.
Even when I read the thread and realized it was about a physicist, I still interpreted the ‘V’ as “versus” and thought it had something to do with two competing theories or something. It took me way too long to realize that V was just the guy’s middle initial.
When I first saw this thread
I was pretty sure it was going to be a complaint about how many Americans are going about their business as usual while all around them the country is falling apart and they’re taking no action to prevent it.
Nope. Not that at all.

Does a Jacob’s Ladder have any practical use?
I am mainly familiar with said term from the Tim Robbins vehicle, so the answer which immediately popped into my head was “as a stairway to heaven?”
