I hope the guy got to experience plenty of moments in his life as joyful as the one depicted in that photo.

Back when men were men and women were women compared to today's gender mess...RIP.

Here's hoping those days are not gone forever, and that the days of this insanity are numbered.

As a corollary to Godwin's law, I propose Belloc's law.

Just sayin'. :jester:

I fail to see how actually bringing "Godwin's Law" into this is itself nothing more than tiresome and derivative, and thus the "proposition" itself both uninspired and prosaic. I think however that we do rather need a term for anyone invoking Godwin's Law under the pretension and/or self-delusion that it actually means anything. Have you a suggestion there? :blink:
