[What happens when Trump comes on the SDMB?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-happens-when-trump-comes-for-the-sdmb/1022598)
If he does it under his real identity, this board gets way more attention from the rest of the world than the mods or our community can handle. Regardless of whether he tries to be stealth, Trump, being who he is, runs afoul of the rules and gets banned in short order, and the _actual_ thread title happens for real not long after that.

It could _almost_ work, because he could be commenting on the 1984 Dune adaptation he starred in (briefly), which (and this is making me feel OLD) already 41 years old.
Aaaargh.

Sting has a couple of dozen credits (usually as supporting characters) in various movies and TV shows, and even voice work in a few animated shows and radio programs.
_Quadrophenia_ and _Radio On_ were released in 1979, so they are 46 years old.

He’ll never top his cameo as himself in _Bee Movie_.

[What hobbits are going to experience a demographic crunch?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-hobbies-are-going-to-experience-a-demographic-crunch/1023445)
Likely the Stoors. They’re the ones who are closest to humans and occupy the same eco-niches, so most likely to be assimilated.
Harfoots are better at keeping out of the way of humans, and the Fallohides have long displayed better leadership skills to keep hobbits comfortable in their Shire, even if they do occasionally produce a fool of a Took.

I did a mini double-take before my bleary morning eyes and as yet uncaffeinated brain successfully parsed the title on second reading. Ghost dog? Some sort of existential canine crisis? Doggie limbo? But all dogs go to Heaven, right?

I have wondered if Zero in _Nightmare Before Christmas_ and Scraps in _Corpse Bride_ are two parts of the same dog in the Tim Burton 'verse.

Rush is Recruiting?
First thought: Isn’t that Limbaugh bastard dead.
Second thought: Oh, yeah, the _band_. I’ve never heard of a band announcing interviews, much less for 4+ months from now.

You’re not supposed to understand cats. And if you do, they can and will change their habits from time to time just to keep you confused and controllable. Or deprive you of sleep, at which point your brain won’t work well enough to function.

I have known a fair number of ALs in my life, including Allen, Alan, Alfred, Albert, Alex, Alexandria, Alison, Alvin, and probably more. Some of them are indeed assholes, but that’s no reason to lump all of them together and treat them like second-class citizens.
