Constance is a big badger in Redwall, and she murders rats and stoats and ferrets like it's her job (which it kind of is). She's mean and badass and one of the coolest characters in a cool book series.

we still have a party line at our bach

we also had a black and white tv when I was a kid, but that was more because my parents were povvo than because I'm super old. The first time I watched star wars it was in black and white. We also didn't get a microwave until I was like school age. I was born in 88.

This reminds me of a story I read on the Trademe boards. In the late 1990s, the guy writing it was visited by his neighbour, a woman in her 80s, who asked him to fix her TV. He went over to find the TV in question was a Phillips K7 dating from the commonwealth games (NZ introduced colour TV specifically for the event). The lady said that it wasn't playing the right show so he clicked it over to channel 2. She'd never once changed the channel since she'd bought it!

spring is awful in new england compared to the south

and then the pollen hits and spring in the south is awful too

fall kicks rear end in the north though, in the south it's just maybe summer maybe winter are the leaves turning? no now it's just kinda cold and all the plants are brown

To be accurate for the north it needs to be summer and winter teaming up to kick the poo poo out of fall while spring smothers it with a pollen-stuffed pillow. Every season here except fall sucks rear end.

Similar, our TV had four channel buttons, but I remember 1,2 and 3 being pretty much worn away, while the 4 was glowing and white and unused, which made Channel4 somehow more magical. 'Network7' was great, but I still don't understand or see the point of NFL.

I love that scene because it's clear that Brian Jacques just wants to show off how much he loves food. There's no point to it, and it happens so early that it doesn't interrupt anything. It's just, "Hey gang. You know what's fuckin' great? Baked goods."

I recently reread Redwall for my daughter so it's fresh in my mind.

Same but also the weird race realist one where they raise a weasel from birth and it betrays them because that is its nature.

Ive never read any of that, but it's been talked about before. Isn't that a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy since they continually talk how much weasels suck, and are all thieves, and just keep making GBS threads on the weasel?

First off, no T-34s, so this is automatically invalid. Also, I think only 7-8 (depending on what the M8 is, not familiar with it) of those vehicles are actually tanks; the rest are regular ol' AFVs :colbert:

It’s all U.S. stuff. Only 5 are actually tanks: the M3A3, M26, and the three M4 variants. M10 and M18 are tank destroyers, M7 and M8 are self-propelled artillery, the “M3 MGMC” is an AA vehicle, LVT(A)4 is an amphibious tank, LVT-3 is an amphibious landing craft. :spergin:
