My latest: Prim: It's prosciutto. So much easier than bacon.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

I could get behind that. 
Which reminds me: what is “phone banking”?

I think that's just doing banking, but using your phone to do it. Like... depositing checks or paying bills online or whatever?Inanna wrote:I could get behind that.

The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.
"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

In terms of elections, "phone banking" is going to a temporary office filled with phones (a "phone bank") and making calls urging people to vote for a particular candidate or issue (or just to vote at all). My son does it. They're almost always volunteers.

I should update and correct—it's also pretty common to ask the volunteers to call on their own phones. And in fact some rallies, especially Obama's, ended with people phone banking from their seats.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

That looks like a good ad for vodka, yes.
I got this one today. It's not wrong.
