WWI and Warren Harding

Thanks for sharing.

Monty Python got some good alliterative mileage out of that term in their movie “And Now For Something Completely Different.”  One sequence in the movie is a fake WWII British newsreel, in black and white, with suitably bombastic narration that includes the opening line “Yes, the war against the Hun continues – and as Britian’s brave boys battle against the Boche…”  By the standards of genuine WWII newsreels, that’s actually not as over-the-top as it sounds to modern ears.  And during a real WWII deception operation, the fake letter from General Nye to General Alexander which was the centrepiece of the “Mincemeat” disinformation scheme used such phrases as “We have had recent information that the Boche have been reinforcing and strengthening their defences in Greece and Crete…”

@Imperious:

This is why Tsingtao is a really good beer. it’s originally a German factory, taken by the Japanese then China in 1945.

It would be great to drink a beer with all you guys.

Plutocracy is certainly not incompatible with imperialism.

Didn’t think it was terribly hard, although deciphering the antiquated grammar/question formulation, the jumbled resolution of the pic, and unfamiliar abbreviations of the arithmetic section made it unnecessarily difficult.  And the grammar section, which I never pay attention to and think it’s a lot of hoopla over arbitrary nonsense.

Everything else I passed with ease, more or less.

California would be in the largest states of the time, I think.

Thank you for the WWI topic.

I didn’t see all of those and they missed a couple.

Actually, you must have missed a few of my remarks, like wehere I cinceeded that ADD/ADHD MAY exist.  I would think that concession to your remarks would have made more impact.

Alas, I guess I’ll just go back to my reading… I am really enjoying Dianetics  :roll:
