ME3 is so good. Iโ€™m jealous youโ€™re getting to play it for the first time.

Are you planning to call in and ask her some of these questions?

Huh? Must be a typo.

Given the state the country is heading in, a funeral march would be more appropriate.

". . . the job of collecting Negroes and throwing them into concentration camps."

"Wait a minute," I cried ccondescendingly.

"Herr Miller!" he replied, pulling my face close to his. "Don't you you know in your heart that you could do to the Negroes what we did to the Jews?"

I said quietly, "Don't judge us by the fact that we have a few sick people."

"You have an endless supply," he assured me. "We turned ours loose on Jews. Some day you'll turn yours loose on Negroes."

"But never Buchenwald," I resisted.

"In the beginning, never," he agreed. "Your sensibilities would not permit it. Your Bill of Rights . . . But after two or three years of total propaganda . . . the president, churches, newspapers, cinemas, labor unions . . . don't you understand that you would find many Americans eager to shoot down Negroes with machine guns?"

"No," I announced confidently.

"Herr Miller, you're an idiot," he stormed.

Hoo boy. I'm reading James Michener's 1963 novel Caravans. This scene, which takes place in 1946, is between a former Nazi and an American diplomat. The Nazi calls it. ๐Ÿงต

HEADS UP.

BSky added a feature that allows people to be notified every time you post. A fine feature!

By default, it's set to allow anyone to do this. If you are prone to stalkers though:

*Under Privacy and Security settings, you can change this to only allow people you follow back to use this.*

If you want something that will just sit there and stare adoringly at you while you watch TV, you should probably get a dog.

The ads on YouTube are an absolute joke. I donโ€™t need 4 lots of ads during a 15 minute video.

Same here friend. Games are meant to fun and a way to unwind and playing on hard modes is the quickest way to stress me out. Itโ€™s one of the reasons i donโ€™t play online games either.

Not much gaming as other things are happening, however I am intrigued by the controller in front of your monitor.

I managed to catch some great #NFL games last night. This run into the playoffs may be one of the best in recent times.

I almost felt bad for the #NYJets after the game against the #Bills yesterday.

Josh Allen for #MVP?
