  - My favorite is Masque of the Red Death. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 16:21
- Let's call it for what it is. When we make classical musical references, it's because we've watched Bugs Bunny. You're making a Simpsons reference. - Mop May 21, 15:48 6

Video: Disney Springs is open. This is what it looks like, from the Disney Food Blog Guide -- (link) - Mop May 21, 15:00 [youtube] 8

  - pure guess...tv contracts and money! -- nm - Remlik May 21, 15:53
- lebron to rest for 3 of them. -- nm - tRuMaN May 21, 14:55 1

  - So, it's a new virus. Many viruses are spread thru surfaces, such as norovirus. It was a reasonable concern. -- nm - loosilu May 21, 15:35

    - Well, that and his followers would think he was less of a man. - Dark Callisto May 21, 13:50 6
      - just give him a Space Force Helmet, how cool would that be, hell, the reelection campaign could sell a million of them -- nm - zeitgeist May 21, 15:09
      - His reasons not to wear one are pretty weak. -- nm - . May 21, 14:03
