Animal rights activists arrested for terrorizing fur farms
Minks are great survivors in the wild. Not so much in "farms." Egad, will we ever get the the point that we can recognize bullshit when we see/hear it?— July 25, 2015 6:25 p.m.

Yes, Don, but you're a mensch. You deserve every penny you've got. A regular Village Smithy of a man. (I had to recite that in Mrs. Henderson's elocution class.— July 24, 2015 9:46 p.m.

Because one opera company isn't enough

Realizing your scholarly instincts far surpass mine, I decided to "Google" a string from my own story (which I gleaned from memory--often faulty--from an Atlantic story, from, I believe, the '60's) and came up with this version: http://thetrad.blogspot.com/2010/11/are-we-going-… I'd like to get to the bottom, and to know the facts, but hey, oft I find the embellished, the distilled, the incorrect, the adulterated story to have more of a ring of truth than the original. Perhaps you can tell me the origin of the phrases: "It's a helluva lot easier to find a million suckers with a buck than one sucker with a million." (I long attributed it to Barnum, but now cite it as "Author unknown.") "You don't take percentages to the bank; you take MONEY to the bank." Best, Twister PS: I have been known to mess up quotes and aphorisms, but always attribute the the author as the source of the essence (e.g., Josh Billings' "The worst kinda ignerance ain't s' much not knowin' as 'tis knowin' s' much that ain't so.") And variations . . .— July 24, 2015 10:18 a.m.
