Can barely remember getting a shloske for less than ten bucks. Good times

The world’s largest outdoor mocktail party?

Seal suffrage gets very little attention on this side of the pond!

The arrow was purportedly from the 1813 attack, but Betsy (never one to mince words) pointed out to the guide that the arrow was on the wrong side of the wall: the rebels had not reached that side. Apparently--so the story goes--the next time she returned to that courtyard, the arrow was gone. 2/2

My favorite story about this event is connected with Betsy Bartlett, one of my thesis advisors. She made a living in the 80s guiding tours of the Forbidden City, and one day eavesdropped on a Chinese tour guide pointing out an arrow that was lodged in the wall of the Palace...1/2

But also it was bad right? My sense was that it flopped (but I have no actual idea)

I thought this was strong but I saw your point. …but I thought you meant Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas…

That’s just silly

Yeah. I’m sure that will work out. I’m just old.
