Happy Birthday joeradza joeradza
Please forgive me if I seemed...insensitive...
strange that you mention it....did I miss something?
I do not support Hitlers ideas nor those of any dictator....the fact remains they did not start life as genocidal power mad despots.
They were babies...just like all of us.
Question is: what happened to them?...

No need to apologize because I didn’t feel you were insensitive. Ignoring his existence means we lose historical perspective on how not to behave.

It was a best-selling book that came out in the early '80s. Kind of a joke book, don't remember much about it other than the title. My wife and daughter make killer quiche!

I wasn’t aware of the book, but I definitely remember the line referencing it in this scene from Ernest Goes to Camp. I loved this movie when I was a kid, even though I probably understood less than half the jokes/references.

Grimaldi's has a giant slice of pizza for $3.14 today. Only during lunch.

All I gotta say is: "Beware the Ides of March!"

Strange ramble, I know, but I'm home sick (not homesick).

If Quiche consumption determines one's masculinity; one needs counseling!! :rolleyes:

LOL! :D The book is well known to anyone over 60, but I don't know a single person who read it (I guess some did)! :D A friend was once trying to chat up a girl at a party, trying to be all sophisticated, and he sat in a homemade quiche! 🤣 Not sure whether it increased his masculinity or not, but by the time he'd finished scrubbing it off his corduroy trousers, and apologising to the host for ruining her quiche, his quarry had gone :rolleyes: Still makes me laugh 40 years later! 🤣:thumbsup:

What about me sharing a birthdate with a certain German fascist dictator from WWII. 🤬

Hey, you have the same birthday as my son!

It felt a little extra ironic considering we are Jewish. But then again, my brother-in-law shares his birthday with a certain Jewish prophet from Nazareth, so I think birthdays are just weird.

My youngest daughter was born on the 100th anniversary! :eek: :eek: She has been forbidden, from birth, from wearing uniforms, visiting Poland, or growing a moustache! :rolleyes: My son-in-law was born on December 25th :D :thumbsup:

Oh, almost forgot. Our first daughter was born on the anniversary of President McKinley’s assassination.

His second term ended early when he was shot on September 6, 1901, by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist. McKinley died eight days later and was succeeded by Vice President Theodore Roosevelt

I can hardly wait to find out who shares the same death day as me! 🤓 o_O
