Re: Encore-50 states

I assume you mean this one?

No? What do you mean that's not it...

Re: Encore-50 states

Okay, here's the thing. I have two more possible answers, but each has a issue. One is an abbreviation, so I'm not sure it counts at all. The other definitely has them singing the name of the state... but it's kind of just a three word intro to a different song. Maybe it's a song all on it's own? I'...

I don't think I have a Connecticut song, so you're good with that one, I guess.

Re: BLAME CANADA!!

Sadly, there is a lot more to it than that. There is ambiguity in other places that casts doubt on whether such a Canadian-born child could be elected US president.

Re: Skipping Classes

My sister and I have been terribly sick all week. She has gone into her work twice for important meetings/presentations, but then left right after. I have been working my normal full-time shifts. She keeps texting me about how she's exhausted from doing a load of dishes and how she can't believe I'm...

Don't flutes have holes in the keys that need to be covered to play properly? (Student flutes have plugs to help close the keys, right? And professional ones have open holes on the keys?) Wouldn't bigger hands be useful for that? Or is that not a thing?

Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die

I'm guessing she may mean "salvaged." For those who don't know, when a car is in an accident and the damages exceed the value of the car, the insurance company will total the car, essentially buying it and giving the value of the car to the client. They then take the car, and either scrap...

Re: VIDEO GAMES

One interesting thing I noticed is that Super Mario Galaxy (for Wii) is a popular Daddy-daughter game. The 2nd player goes around collecting star things and paralyzing enemies, and it's a much easier role than the main Mario one. When I first saw the 2nd player in action I thought it was kind of la...
