Biplane posted:My grandma told me the year before she died that she low key hosed german soldiers during the occupation of norway in exchange for cigarettes and candy, at 16. Grandma... My grandpa was a German soldier who spent some time in a Russian prison camp, developed a strong hatred of both fascism and communism, then moved to Australia the first chance he got. Sadly I didn't hear many stories from him. He didn't really talk about it much unless you directly asked him, and he died when I was too young to appreciate them.

walrusman posted:My grandmother was a south Vietnamese child prostitute at the second battle of Antietam when she met my grandfather, who was a 2nd-century Roman centurion whose parents had been devout Shintoists until they were killed by a runaway steam locomotive. Anyway, long story short, I was raised worshiping Xangorp, God-Emperor of Space, and that made for some awkward Christmases, let me tell you! Sounds plausible.

Last time I had a dream I thought was worth writing down, it was an idea for a TV show that would have been a combination of The 100 and Battlestar Galactica and probably would have sucked.

That one falls under “almost certainly didn’t happen but anti-maskers would be dumb enough to fall for it if it did”
