The manager needs to have a talk with Evan! about his flair...
"People can get a coffee anywhere, okay? They come to Starbucks for the atmosphere and the attitude. Okay? That's what the flair's about. It's about fun.
Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like Brian, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile."
Any porch geese speakers that can summarize what the dude said? I would think that military police wouldn't speak out without being authorized by higher ups. Otherwise a discharge and possible arrest would happen if Lula Lemon took over.

In Catholic elementary school, we did an Advent thing every year. They were fun.
We also did caroling, and putting on Christmas plays at the local retirement home.
I don't have any helpful suggestions. My artistic ability peaked with Thanksgiving hand-turkeys in second grade. 😕
Edit: maybe this site will help, it has some calendar suggestions about halfway down the page.

I like pancakes made with malted milk powder instead of sugar. They taste more old-timey. King Arthur Baking has a good recipe.

From a different article:
Irving tweeted an Amazon Prime Video link to the movie "Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America" on Thursday. He also shared a screenshot of the movie's Amazon page on his Instagram Story.
The film was released in 2018 and is based on a 2015 book with the same title.
A little over a hundred years ago, it was acceptable to send babies through the US Mail.
As documented in the article, “Very Special Deliveries,” by curator of the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum Nancy Pope, several children, including one “14-pound baby” were stamped, mailed and dutifully delivered by the U.S. Post Office between 1914 and 1915.
The practice, noted Pope, became affectionately known by letter carriers of the day as "baby mail."
According to Pope, with postal regulations, being few and far between in 1913, they failed to specify exactly “what” could and could not be mailed via the still very new parcel post service. So in mid-January 1913, an unnamed baby boy in Batavia, Ohio was delivered by a Rural Free Delivery carrier to its grandmother about a mile away. “The boy’s parents paid 15-cents for the stamps and even insured their son for $50,” wrote Pope.
Despite a “no humans” declaration by the Postmaster General, at least five more children were officially mailed and delivered between 1914 and 1915.
The US Postal Service has evolved to carry fraudulent ballots that will destroy the lives and future of children. Ahh, progress.

Just saw this on PDW, the hottest gift of the Christmas season...the Pepe Lamp.

I agree. It wasn't a "lockdown" in the US compared to what we heard from Aussie anons and what they went through. In the US it was more of a lockout, orchestrated by businesses at the behest of the CDC.
Edit: different US states handled it their own way, some more draconian than others.
- It depends. Milk chocolate if eating standalone. Dark chocolate if baked in something.
- White chocolate is my fave, with macadamia nuts.
- Chocolate cake, unless it's really high-end ice cream (like in Nancy's freezers).
- Does not compute.
- Calories.
- This one stumped me. I'm not chocolate-adventurous.
- Chunky bars with raisins...grosssssss.
- BarNone chocolate bar. It was heavenly. Haven't had it in years, dunno if it's still made.
- Charleston Chew or Marathon Bar were good Halloween chocolate.
- Different genetics. Lack of sufficient dopamine hit from chocolate to justify eating it.
- Become an outlaw...Billy the KitKat.
Disclaimer: I haven't eaten chocolate in 6 months. 😕
Last year, Paul Krugman of the NYT said the BLM riots never happened.

Strom may or may not have been set up by the feds in 2007 when he was arrested for possession of child pornography, and some other charges that were dismissed. I was aware of the case at the time and thought it was fishy. I may be remembering wrong, but I believe child porn was spammed onto his forum, got deleted by him or the mods, but was still in his browser's cache from loading the page when the feds raided. It was 10 pics, he took a plea deal and did 2 years in prison.
At the October 2007 federal trial on charges of "attempting to coerce a 10-year-old girl into a sexual relationship by sending her anonymous gifts, driving past her house and writing lyrics to love songs declaring his desire to marry her", and of witness intimidation, Judge Norman K. Moon threw out both charges due to lack of evidence of witness tampering or solicitation of sex, but added that Strom, then in his early 50s, had engaged in questionable conduct.
Also spotted in the crowd by the press pooler was Defense Secretary Robert Gates
That's the dude that handed Judas Pence the coin after Judas certified the fraud.
He was also director of the CIA in the early 90s under Bush1, was involved in Iran-Contra, and good friends (through Indiana University connection) with both Pence and Dan Quayle, who spoke to Pence on the phone prior to the certification.
Ten years ago, I would have said Australia or New Zealand. I've met some really nice people from both. But the governments there are too shitty at the moment to consider them.
I like Japan's history and culture, but they're not too keen on outsiders from what I've heard. I can respect that.
Hungary would be a top contender, but I'd need to learn more about their culture and people before deciding on them.
A dark horse contender would be the Marshall Islands.
I would look into Peru as well.
