I do wonder why some people take offense to mundane facts while bombarding the rest of us with their fantasy stories.[/color][/quote]


Because the fantasy stories can be more exciting or interesting? :mrgreen:

She has not spoken to me ever since I pointed out that (due to global warming) polar bears and grizzly bears were encroaching on each others' territories, mating, and producing offspring with mixed-breed features.


Brings to mind one of my aunts who did speak to me again but never about the topic of how band names and other things are satanic acronyms.

One evening in late 1980s she was going on about that, stuff like band name Rush is for Ruled Under Satan's Hand, and without even a nanosecond to create and analyze the thought I blurted out "Oh, you mean like how your initials mean you were Satan's Main Woman before you married and now you are Satan's Main Helper."

To this day she has never again brought up that topic in a family gathering I've been at.

Thank you. Thank you.

(now that I have the win, what do I do with it?)

(growing up with Dad in the Navy seems maybe? to have something to do with being inventive with initials and acronyms)
