_In what’s probably the stupidest post I’ve ever made, I have to share a pre-coffee insight I had while getting dressed this morning._
As I was pulling on an article of clothing, it occurred to me that I was executing the instruction of a famous rock musician’s name.
Stacked hints within:
[spoiler]It involved a shirt.
[spoiler]A collarless, long-sleeved shirt.
[spoiler]With a two-button opening.
[spoiler]A henley.
[spoiler]Instruction: “Don henley.”
Okay, that was too stupid to post.

I was going to say Bono because you had a boner.

I’ve never heard it. I don’t dispute that it’s the name for that particular style but I wasn’t familiar.

If Northern California and Southern Oregon ever form a new state, they’ll need air transport. But since nobody really lives there, they’ll only need one.

I know Dick Smothers is a comedian/folk artist, but I’ll be god damned if he doesn’t belong in this thread somehow.
