Barbara Bush was always one of my favorite people that I would have liked to sit down and have a cup of coffee with. Near the end of his Presidency, George declared a National Broccoli Day. When asked he said "no, I do not like broccoli and I am President and do not have to eat broccoli." I wished that on his first morning as First Citizen, Barbara would have made him a broccoli and cheese omelet telling him "Your no longer President, eat your broccoli."

John is a brony, so in this case Alicorn has a very specific meaning.

Haha! I almost thought I was at the wrong website. I went on a fragment hunt with Kwakkel in Rolduc. And Jenny Weston is awesome. (To the left of Kwakkel in the picture. Awesome to see this. :)

I don't know which is more painful, tattoo or pushpins.

The custom is to put a pushpin in each country you've been to. I can see how that might make it hard to put a shirt on.

Then he said, "Wheels? Where we're going we doing need wheels!" And he drove off into the sky trailing a pixelated rainbow.

When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Neatorama and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.

It's emotional manipulation and power play, perhaps.

That commenting policy is not willy nilly - when we started way back in 2005, this blog's commenting was the wild, wild west. We tolerated almost all kind of expressions of opinions - from supportive comment to pejorative put downs, all in the name of free speech.
The result, however, was clear: people got discouraged from engaging in conversations after other people - under the cloak of Internet anonymity - leave disparaging comments.
We've lost good readers and contributors because some people get their kicks by tearing other people down. Hence our comment policy:
The first rule of commenting on Neatorama is "Don't be a jerk."
The second rule of commenting on Neatorama is "See rule number 1."
