How 'bout brass tax?

Come with me. It is the only way.

Pay attention to what you’re doing!

I’ve heard rumors that Frink was 56 years old when Star Wars came out.

I’m a very visual person, so I pretty much exclusively rely on people’s avatar to identify users. I almost never read the user name title. So, it was a big deal for me when Frink changed his avatar from Ric Olie to the computer avatar. It felt like a different person. I also feel this every time Duracell changes his avatar.

With that said, let’s see what Google’s Search by Image feature thinks everybody is:

What’s your favorite brass instrument?

Woodwind.

Wiki said:

Saxophones are usually made of brass

LOL

A brass instrument is different than an instrument made out of brass.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_instrument

“Wiki” said:

The view of most scholars (see organology) is that the term “brass instrument” should be defined by the way the sound is made, as above, and not by whether the instrument is actually made of brass. Thus one finds brass instruments made of wood, like the alphorn, the cornett, the serpent and the didgeridoo, while some woodwind instruments are made of brass, like the saxophone.

Tom Price, President Trump’s embattled health and human services secretary, resigned Friday amid sharp criticism of his extensive use of taxpayer-funded charter flights, the White House said.

The announcement came shortly after Trump told reporters he considered Price a “fine man” but that he “didn’t like the optics” and planned to make a decision by the end of the day.

“I’m not happy, I can tell you that. I’m not happy,” Trump said as prepared to leave the White House en route to his private golf club in Bedminster, N.J.

In a statement, the White House said Trump intends to designate Don J. Wright as acting secretary. Wright currently serves as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health and Director of the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.

Price said Thursday that he would reimburse the government for a fraction of the costs of his flights on charter planes in recent months.

A Health and Human Services official said Thursday that Price would write a check for $51,887.31, which appears to cover the cost of his seat on chartered flights but not those of his staffers.

Politico, which first reported on Price’s repeated use of chartered jets, has estimated the total expense of the taxpayer-funded trips exceeded $400,000 — and it reported early Thursday evening that his White House-approved flights on military planes to Africa, Europe and Asia cost more than $500,000.

Besides the charter flight issue, Trump has also directed some of his frustration at Price over the inability of Republicans in Congress to pass a health-care-reform bill.

During a speech in July to a gathering of Boy Scouts, Trump said — jokingly at the time — that Price could lose his job if a bill didn’t pass.

“He better get the votes,” Trump said. “Otherwise I will say, Tom, you’re fired.”

And another one bites the dust.

Argh, I thought you banned thejediknighthusezni.

I’m pretty sure he’s been asked not to do that anymore.

I thought the same.

I like the trumpet.

Tuba’s fine too.

Thank you dahmage for the post below - when the robot and spambot revolution comes you will be spared (if you write a good CV, that is 😉)

For prosperity.

Also: Yéa.

Sure.

People always talk about how little Americans are aware of other countries, but the fact that we don’t know about our own country is concerning.

Only 47% are aware that Puerto Ricans are American citizens…

Haeso did the ketchup shaming thing.

I remember reading somewhere than the BD version of ROTS matches the theatrical cut.

The intro music is different.

You sure?

I was pretty sure there was a smoother fade from the main theme to the battle music in one of the versions.

Nevertheless, I’m pretty sure the soundtrack has a different version from the movie.

What’s the singular form of antics? An antic?

Very interesting info on ABC. As you probably know, I was here for most of Id’s antics.

However, my examples were not meant to involve Warbler.

But nobody cares about ROTS or any of the prequels, which makes me wonder why I know that.

Well, two examples, Darth Id and generalfrevious, both extremely obnoxious posters, were banned quite a while (a few months) after the new rules came into effect, and after many warnings over a long period of time.

I’ve never figured out quite why ABC was banned. I think he made a sock?

I always remember.

I call out Jay(where is he? when was the last time anyone here anything from him? How come he did not make the annoucenment of oojason becoming a mod? as he gone awol?),

He was last active today, though he hasn’t posted anything since August.

Silverwook(who said nothing about my posts at the time and then seemed to support oojason after I was banned)

I never saw any explicit support of the ban by any other moderator, actually. I suppose even if they disagreed with it, they would not go against the actions of another moderator in the interest of preventing more conflict.
