Eh, I dunno. It seems that so many supergroups turn out to be disappointments.
Yeah, you’re right, that’s the other side of the coin. But “The Best” lineup seems so full of talent and came from bands with so many different approaches that they just must have sounded interesting IMHO.
The Best released a DVD of a 1990 concert in Yokohama, which is available on Youtube. Search on The Best 1990/9/26 @ Yokohama Arena.
They’d played a selection of old songs associated with them. The world’s best garage cover band. Seriously, they sounded terrific and even the solos were pure greatness.
Crappies are a different fish all together. They are a panfish like sunfish, bluegills, pumpkinseeds, and yellow perch. In Minnesota anyway.
Like the sunfish @Chronos described maybe?
Yes! We would catch them off the dock when we were kids.
So how does that make crappies a different fish altogether?
Sidejack: When I was young our family rented a cabin on a lake near Birchwood WI for a week. The lake was well stocked with bluegills, and while we were there Birchwood had their annual Bluegill Festival, with a parade, fish fries, and fireworks. Also, during that trip I caught my first fish, which my mother fried up for me to eat all to myself.
Speaking of fish:
The beautiful white sands of tropical beaches are parrotfish droppings. The fish eat corals, absorb the nutrients, and pass the indigestible calcium carbonate. The whiter the beach, the purer the fish poop.
From the Increasingly Inaccurate Identity Department: originally one day, Prime Day is being expanded from two to four this year.
The acorn ant is so-named because an entire colony - the queen, the workers, the larvae, the whole lot of them - live in a single acorn shell. They are about 2 mm in length.
Yep. When you put your ears underwater at many Hawai’ian beaches, you hear a constant crackling sound. That’s all the parrotfish chomping on the coral. The sound travels well underwater.
Oolites are roughly spherical concretions of calcium carbonate that gather around some nucleus, which can be a bi of sand or seashell. But a lot of oolites form around fish poop. Or, in the Great Salt Lake, brine shrimp poop
A crappie is a type of panfish like a sunfish is a type of panfish. Crappies are bigger and usually dark in color.
Several sources including wiki say they are both in the informal category of Sunfish, as well as Bluegills and other fish. I’ve heard both names ‘sunnies’ and ‘crappies’ used interchangeably at times up and down the east coast. There may be no solid answer here. I can see that the distinction may be made in your locale and the wiki notes the naming may be different between Michigan and the Midlantic and New England states. Nice to know if I ever do any fishing in the Great Lakes area.
Speaking of Ricardo Montalban and his “Rich Corinthian Leather” catchphrase–“Corinthian Leather” is simply a marketing term invented to market Chrysler vehicles and has no meaning as to the type of leather used.
That’s correct. I know someone who worked on that advertising campaign.
Today I learned about Crossroads Graves. Until well into the 19th century in Great Britain, people who died by suicide were often buried at crossroads. It was said to that because suicide considered a crime against God, the crossroads would confuse the soul of the deceased and keep them from entering a peaceful afterlife or stop the soul from haunting the living.
The map of the UK has a few spots around ancient crossroads where the grave is marked.
Now they just haunt the crossroads where the majority of fatal traffic accidents take place.
So the logical thing to do is to build roundabouts with large grassy leas in the middle to use for burial grounds – that would confuse their souls even more, without leading to more accidents.
