| I still remember how disappointed I was as a kid when I found out the song wasn't actually about literal dogs. It's a song about catcalling. The lyrics say, “And tell the fellas stop the name callin' / Yepee ah yo / Then them girls respond to the call / I hear a woman shout out / Who let the dogs o... |

Its "shore up". Like reinforcing the levees on the shore of a river.
Not "sure up".
Though you're not alone in mishearing the actual expression and thinking that its "sure up".
But either way...thats what the governor is doing. |

The First World War started when someone shot an Archduke. ignited the powder keg of Europe.

| Hmmmm... That isnt too bad actually. As humor, and as a replication of Sienfeld's particular style of humor, its not far off the mark. As an exposition on autism...its flawed (an autistic who monologues about Shakespeare, or about Looney Tunes Cartoons, is ALSO likely to forget where they "park... |

| With the rise of the far right globally, I would prefer you didn't research this, regardless of what truth there may be. They will label us as "cavemen" and have as removed from the gene pool. If you do continue, brand it differently, just refer to genetic sequences and don't say Neandert... |

| Yes. Even Hitler wasnt "as bad as Hitler" until nine years after he took power in 1933. It wasnt until 1942 that Hitler actually sat down with the board of directors and planned the logistics of the Holocaust. On the other hand folks do go into hyperbole. A certain member of WP active year... |

| There is no single cause; it's insanely complicated and often multifactorial. But this is a subset of susceptibility factors that are playing a role in a wide range of folks' autism, which we happened to have inherited from hybridization from Neanderthals.

The above track credited to "the Cramps" was actually collected by the members of the Cramps onto a compilation album by their fav predecessors.
The actual performers were the Sixties band "the Ventures".
