Remember that time Greg had a poll like, should I have Luann hook up with Aaron Hill or <3<3<3GUNTHER<3<3<3 and the people were like gently caress NO NOT GUNTHER and Greg was so mad he shipped Aaron Hill to Hawaii?

Get real, dude, Luann doesn't moan. That's what dirty girls do.

Holland (Referencing who knows what)

It's a reference to Kaiser Wilhelm II, who fled into exile to the (neutral) Netherlands after the first World War. He apparently had a big thing for chopping wood.

I thought so, but the guard and prison threw me. He was a free man after he abdicated, even got to take a bunch of his stuff with him to his new estate.

It was one of several ways he tried to keep from going insane from the boredom of exile. He was a kind of a hyper guy and didn't handle settled life all that well, plus he tried to compensate for having a useless left arm by overexerting himself physically.

Bad Machinery

I was bored the past couple of days and re-re-re-read the whole Bobbinsverse and remembered that there's a longer example of Lottie's space poetry:

Actually on that note:
We're now in the part of the timeline where there's bits of New Bobbins focusing on the Mystery Teens that take place between the Bad Machinery stories, are you planning on peppering them in? I'm not talking about anything the teens are tangentially in (like Into The Woods) but An Election in the World is a Lottie/Claire story, and then there's the Scary-Go-Round and Bobbins stuff that continues stories with the Mystery Teens even after he swore he was done with them...

[Edit: Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, there's a solid case to be made for posting Into The Woods, as the teens and their family members are featured pretty heavily, and it really feels quite a bit more like Bad Machinery than SGR... though there's so much focus on SGR/Bobbins characters that it'd probably be more confusing than anything else]

Oh yeah, the fight in Shelby. As the video will tell you, the city boosters kind of blew it.

The loudspeaker system in Seattle, on the other hand, was a success.

Seattle Times (July 5, 1923) posted:

To 15,000 persons packing Times Square and the streets leading into it with the greatest crowd ever assembled in the Northwest to listen to news bulletins, The Times yesterday afternoon gave direct returns from the ringside of the Dempsey-Gibbons fight at Shelby, Mont. The throng numbered twice as many men and women as were admitted into the arena at Shelby by ticket and more than the number who actually saw the fight after the gate was stormed and approximately 5,000 nonpaying spectators rushed in.

For four hours the great crowd remained in Times Square, staying nearly thirty minutes after the result of the fight was announced to hear the Associated Press resume of the battle and the happenings at the ringside following the fight.

Move by move and blow by blow, the championship battle was visualized for the immense throng in the telegraphic advices received over three direct wires from the ringside and read over the battery of loud-speaking "Wonderphones." The voice of the reader was distinctly heard for two blocks.

The crowd gathered early, thousands being on hand for the usual announcements preceding the fight and for preliminary bouts, and by the time the championship contest was called the traffic was completely blocked in Stewart and Olive Streets, Fifth and Westlake Avenues.

The crowd was a Gibbons crowd. There were cheers for the champion but when the challenger landed a blow the crowd would yell and, as the fight extended toward its limit the end of each round brought a wild cheer for the challenger.

I've put in links to those stories where appropiate, so people can go and read them on their own, I figure I should respect the boundaries of the thread. Luckily most of those stories are quite short. Into The Woods took place inbetween the last case and Space Is The Place.

Surgeon's Tales

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Ruthven,_1st_Earl_of_Forth

quote:

Ruthven was, according to contemporary sources consistent with severe alcoholic and was called at times " Rothwein " ( red wine ) . Already at the time of his resignation as commander in chief in 1644 he is said to have shown clear signs of chronic alcohol damage and there must have been a contributing factor to that, he was replaced by Prince Rupert of the Rhine.

Now there's a true Scotsman.
