Can you tell your hometown with only three things?

[Elozaa]

... which make it famous

[ShiftingMonke]

Oh geez. There's literally NOTHING in my hometown.. its so small that we don't have a town drunk, we all just sorta take turns.

I can do a rough triangulation:

Red Skelton, USS LST-325, and Jasper Engine and Transmissions.

[SnowedIn]

LST-325 ... last operational landing ship tank. Impressive.

[ShiftingMonke]

@SnowedIn thanks! It's quite the atteaction; they had to fight the casino boat for optimal dock placement.

[SnowedIn]

Of course they did. Despite the fact that there's an argument to be made that the LST enabled the life we love that allows the casino boat.

[ShiftingMonke]

@SnowedIn why read the fine print when there's social security checks that can be deposited into the coffers.

I did chip $100 bucks into the donation pot at Fall Festival when they were trying to raise funding to outbid the casino. As I understood it, the casino won the financial battle (obviously) but through some sort of jerrymandering, a deal was cut to move the casino onto dry land, making the dock available after all.

[SnowedIn]

Nice... (Said with plasticy wry grin)

[SnowedIn]

• Whaling ship
• Drawbridge
• Pizza

[ShiftingMonke]

I'm thinking east coast.. you are super nice, maybe Canada..

[SnowedIn]

You are on the correct coast but wrong country!

And thank you for the kind words.

[ShiftingMonke]

You make too much sense to be an American, but I'm glad I guessed within nuclear fallout range.

[SnowedIn]

You are, truly, too kind. I try to be chill and level headed. The alternative gets one nowhere. I'm also old enough to recognize that nothing (not even back and white) is black and white. Nuance and context and words matter. Let's teach that in our schools and watch problems start to get solved.

[ShiftingMonke]

I'm in the same whaling boat as you. And even if the nation jumped aboard the USS Common Sense and Rationality, it wild still be a full Score at least before that generation filters through colleges and trade schools; what will be left of the nation by then is going to be the question.

[SnowedIn]

Yes sir that is the truth.

[Lyndsielee666]

Scientology headquarters, cow shit, meth 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[ShiftingMonke]

The last two make me scream "Midwest!" But I don't know shit about scientology. 😂

[Lyndsielee666]

@ShiftingMonke oh god no I’m in California 😂

[ShiftingMonke]

I am terribly sorry to hear that. 🤣

[scooogy]

Marzipan, Hansa, salt

[ShiftingMonke]

I'm at a loss for any of these.. what is Marzipan?

[scooogy]

@ShiftingMonke almond paste

[ShiftingMonke]

Huh. Is it good?

[scooogy]

@ShiftingMonke it depends on how much sugar is used.

Streakers, hicks, and black tar
