I'm tellin ya, I positively plotzed when I saw this. History of the World, Part II. A 4-night event. Hope the material doesn't get stretched too thin, but if anybody can pull this off, it's Mel Brooks.

In the close of Part I, he said Part II would be subtitled Jews in Space".
Does it deliver?

I used to think I had a lot of friends, but recently realized I really
only just know an awful lot of people.

Was supposed to go back to court today, but the clerk called me yesterday to say there has been a delay in the case and asked if I can come in Monday, this really pushed the timeline out, I'm turning 50 Feb 24 and was hoping to go away but that's all up in the air now.

On the other hand, it may mean a plea deal is being worked out and you will be free.

My one tenure on a jury included a murder case, a hung panel, a single juror that made everybody miserable despite the group being mostly evenly split (unity!), the delay of my starting a new job, and an earthquake.

I always wondered why everybody hated the gig, and looked forward to doing my civic duty. I'm glad to have done it, but it wasn't a happy time. Nobody told me that an earthquake was a possible outcome.

Why do they make household smoke alarm frequencies so traumatizing
to pets? I don't think Kappy will come near me for the rest of the night.

Why do they make household smoke alarm frequencies so traumatizing to pets?

So they'll get traumatized enough to wake YOU up.

[kcmets]

Broiling a slab o' salmon and the smoke alarm upstairs went off. Glad
they work, but the frequency just freaks dogs out.

As for sleeping, I wake up if a mouse farts in the basement.

[Frayed Knot]

I hate it when mice fart in the basement!

My detectors are ridiculously sensitive too, but i suppose that's better than the other way around.

I did note it was strange.(doesn't show any more)
If I had known it was a troll post it, I wouldn't have responded.

Back to court tomorrow, let's see

Case has officially started, just had opening statements from the DA and defense

Keep us posted, but within the confines of the law that says you can't discuss it outside the courtroom, of course.
We'll wait until the case is over for the juicy details.

I looked at a couple of threads and it seems all YouTube activity
here has been put to a grinding halt. Wonder what's up wid dat?

[kcmets]

Has anyone read or heard anything that YouTube has changed their
video embedding policy? Several threads have dead YouTube links. I
thought maybe it was something on my end and checked on another
browser and get nothing. Weird.

[metirish]

We should hear closing arguments tomorrow.

[kcmets]

Sounds guilty!

Maybe that giant balloon from China is responsible for the polar blasts?

We found the accused guilty of the most serious charge, Murder in the second degree, several of us reached this decision Friday afternoon, others needed to rewatch videos etc , this morning it all came together and this evening we reached the verdict, mentally draining to say the least.

[Edgy MD]

Good for you for finding unity.

My last jury was so clusterfuckily hung that the only thing we agreed on was that we were ready to tear each other apart.
