Why don't you have an alcoholic drink with your breakfast?

@bookerdana

I was in the navy - - we had our rum tots while at sea. Served in the morning if I remember correctly.

EDIT - yep. LATE morning (11 - noon)

@rinkydinkydoink The origins of the word eye opener

@bookerdana

If anyone would know that it would be you!

@rinkydinkydoink just goin with the floe

@bookerdana

You tricky guy! I had to google "go with the floe or flow" to find out which was correct...

@rinkydinkydoink I forgot about your penchant for googling everything,every jot title and...🤷‍♀

Heres an earlier version


“A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.”

@bookerdana

Perhaps one day you'll emulate his style 🙏

@rinkydinkydoink Well worth checking out his books,they're in audio book form on youtube

@bookerdana

I haven't read a book in years. I haven't listened to a book - - ever.

This is why I have to friggin' GOOGLE all the time...

@rinkydinkydoink You can Google him all day it won't help..friend of Gb Shaw with diametrically opposed views.......no shortcuts,man...I have to stay on the page with audio,can't do SW

@bookerdana

I googled him - of course - and as soon as I saw he questioned automatic assumptions and faith I further googled this - - "did chesterton write about the scopes monkey trial" and sure enough...

@rinkydinkydoink sure enough🤔 what i can see him weighing in but not his monkey

@bookerdana

Good thing I googled about this - I got CK mixed up with H.L. Mencken

@rinkydinkydoink He debated Darrow in NYC a short time after,by vote GK won the day (NY times. Poor Darrow thought he was debating another fundamentalist..some audio remains

Menken was not a reporter in the ridiculous Monkey t rial...he advised and paid the fine of the defendent

@bookerdana

Yeah - the part was based on a Menken-like character, though.

@rinkydinkydoink The teacher was a PHYS ED teacher who had never taught evolution before;I think you are mistaking the trial with the movie HL was there

@bookerdana

Oy... the PE teacher in the movie was played by Darren #1 from Bewitched.
