I would, but the damn crystal ball I ordered is on backorder...

does Crystal have balls?

Something that I think would be fun, but which I don't have the time or inclination to do, would be to do something like a "this week in WWII" thread, which discusses weekly what was going on in the war starting at probably December 7, 1941, or earlier if you're not American-centric in your worldview. It could probably be fed by the New York Times archives or something, and it would be interesting to read it as it was happening.

I think a "this week in Dick Cheney's life" thread would be fascinating.

ROFL


I'll admit, that one is NOT on my short list.

The WWII spin off is one I considered, but that is a helluva project. Don't think I'm keen to make that much of a commitment to be honest. My other projects that I have in mind are much more limited in scope (months, not years).

Maybe you can start with Grenada and work your way up.

On this day in history, General Black Jack Pershing and one battalion of Scottish Highlanders met Sitting Bull and 2000 Arapaho warriors in battle at Bull Run.

For his gallantry in action, Black Jack was given command of the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.

LMAO

I can assure you that theres nothing funny about one of the seminal moments in American history.

Not only was Black Jacks advance scouting party, led by Bloody Bill Anderson, completely wiped out, but our victory over the Arapahos led directly to the Treaty of Versailles... and the importance of that cannot be understated.

Especially when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

August 21, 1863. Quantrill's Raiders burn Lawrence to the ground.

I've always felt this should be an annual event.....

Hey, and Chiefsplanet is twelve years old, yesterday I think.

It'll be a hoot when we reach puberty all at once...

...a day which will live in infamy...
