Thank you. I agree wholeheartedly. I didn't ever conform to the old "normal", either. And thus it ever shall be.

Instead of just giving away our money to Ukraine, why aren't we loaning it to them, like their European neighbors do?

This happens to be a second-hand stupid sh** question. My 2nd cousin wants to know, and now I do too...........
why did Buck Owens often wear his overalls backwards on Hee Haw.
I have been googling this question as many ways as I can. So far, I've only found two glancing references to the fact that it happened, but no explanation. I found some nobody on reddit who stated that it was good luck to do so, but googling that supposed fact got me nowhere also.
Anybody happen to know? Or is willing to google it better than me?

My guess was that it was just part of the whole schtick of the show
I had a guess or two myself. Maybe it was an inside joke that was not revealed, or maybe it was the result of a lost bet.
I came across this idea on at least one internet forum, a guy who speculated that it came from country farmer etiquette. Farmers who got blood and guts and perhaps sh** on the front of their overalls might turn their overalls around if they went into town, as a courtesy to others. But I think there might be more examples than Buck Owens on Hee Haw if that were the case.
I also came across a supposed quote, where Buck said he would never wear overalls for the show, with the implication that they wanted him in overalls on the show, So from that I could guess it was a form of protest while fulfilling their wishes or even stipulations of a contract.
I'm not sure what I'm offended about, yet. However, it's obviously the most important 1st step to power in today's society, so, I am.
I'll get back later with more info on what everyone's done to offend me, and how they can make it better. For me.
You may wring your hands and fret now.
Send money.
And cancel those who've offended me.
Because, it's all about me.

With open arms America welcomes people who are known world-wide for chanting "Death to America" in response to any problem in their lives, in their own countries.
Then we wonder:
"What could go wrong?"
How stupid is that?

Mostly clear or mostly sunny is reported for coverage from 1 to 3 oktas, while partly cloudy or partly sunny refers to cloud coverage of 3 to 5 oktas. Mostly cloudy is reported if 5 to 7 oktas of the sky are covered with opaque clouds. When the sky is obscured by fog, 9 oktas is reported for total sky cover, indicating it could not be observed.
In meteorology, an okta is a unit of measurement that describes the amount of cloud cover at a given location, such as a weather station. It's an eight-point scale that estimates sky conditions based on how many eighths of the sky are covered in cloud, ranging from 0 oktas to 8 oktas:
0 oktas: Clear sky
1 okta: 1/8 of the sky covered in cloud
7 oktas: 7/8 or more of the sky covered in cloud, but not full cloud cover
8 oktas: Full cloud cover with no breaks

Anyone else think @peter4jc's profile picture looks a lot like King Charles?
Anyone else find it strange to say or type King Charles instead of Prince Charles?

Yes he’s been prince so long it does seem odd to hear it any other way. Does he even have a last name? I wouldn’t know.
Peter’s profile pic might remind you of what’s his name but to me it looks exactly like Alfred E. Newman.
Didn't Mad Magazine use an image like that?
