World War II gets all the pub, but World War I was quite the event itself.  Anyway, if you've got any interest in reading about it, The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman is where you should start.  And excellent history of the run up to the War and its opening month.  If you don't believe me, you can ask SKO.  If you don't believe SKO, you can ask TEC.  And if you don't believe TEC, there's no hope for you, you troop-hating piece of shit.

Read this book.

Appropriately enough.

Actually happened back on the 6th, but when a man who survived the Hiroshima AND Nagasaki bomb blasts dies, it needs to be noted.

Because we need a new thread.  Anyway, here's your onestop thread to come and cheer on TEC and I's Cardinals, or SKO's Saints or whoever you're backing.

Just remember, fuck the Vikings.

Anybody watch Conan's debut last night?  I thought the open, with him running across the country was funny (and the detour onto Wrigley Field with him being chased by security was a nice touch), and then I went to bed.

Although that's still the longest I've watched the Tonight Show in years.

For Slak.
