Fool's Gold?

You're right; you don't.

More giants of mystery: 1. Northern California tourist attraction. 2. Paul Bunyon and Babe 3. Sky Trail

Ignorance is never more always apparent than when tiny minds try to write. There's no such word alittle or alot. It should be "P.P. only knows a little" and "P.P. has a lot to learn." Just trying to help you make your insults clearer, ha ha ha.

Dashiell Hammett wrote Sam Spade and Nick and Nora Charles mysteries. He also served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army. J. Edger Hoover tried to block Hammett's burial in Arlington National Cemetary due to ties to communists factions, but Hoover didn't have enough suction to get the job done...

You aren't insulting? That's a laugh with all your anti-U.S. sentiments . . . crying over not having enough government assistance . . . and now personal attacks in thus thread. Well, running off at the mouth over long distances is the way most little stinkers get thrills. But since we're...

You're so right that the press is hardly ever the neutral reporter of facts they like their readers/viewers to think they are. Most reporting is heavily biased, here and abroad. I'm not saying it's true in this case, but many times reporters have staged events. It's gives a whole different...

Exactly! Wow, you are really gifted at this game. Your turn to astound us with sleight of hand.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Al Gore a scientist??? That's so funny. After claiming to have created the internet, no one with a lick of sense believes a word that blow-hard says. All of what you "feel" in the Pacific northwest has little to do with global reality. However, the weather you describe...

This is more a simile than an idiom, but it was used colloquially to mean “very deaf.” It’s older than “deaf as a post” and comes from Psalms 58:3-5 in the King James version of The Holy Bible. In those days it was presumed these earless beings were totally deaf. 1. Make the sign for...

Ha ha ha, good signing. Drinks like a fish?

Close enough. The old deafie idiom is "mind blank" or "blank mind." It's mostly used by older deafies, but is still in Sternberg's ASL Dictionary. Your turn.

Good thread, Lumbingmi. If you wish to grow old with sanity: 1. Don't regret the past . . . learn from it. 2. Don't complain about the present . . . learn to live in it. 3. Don't fear the future . . . learn to plan for it.

Montana is the home of the smoke jumpers, so I parachuted as a youth and in the army. I have a class C jumpmaster rating from United States Parachute Association, though it probably needs serious updating since I haven't skydived for 38 years, ha ha ha.

Vampy is right that hurried captioning is the worst for spelling, but sometimes it's just that the captioner does the best he or she know how. There's a current TV commercial where a girl is eating a power candy bar on a mountain top. It's in Montana's Bitterroot Mountains. The Bitterroot...

. . . and the prize for bird literature passes to Bottesini!

1. Another bird statue. 2. “The thing dreams are made of.” 3. Spade and Archer, San Francisco.

Only obvious to someone ignoring science, world history, and who can’t divide days to find the middle of summer. This year, summer in the northern hemisphere is June 20 to September 22. That’s 94 days, the middle of which is August 6. We’re still in mid-summer. The majority of earth...

The current favored rifle ammunition for U.S., European, and Asian infantry is .233 (5.56 NATO). Its not as tiny as a 40-grain .22 LR, but it's a releativey small bullet which tends to fragment easily.

The statue of the girl holding a birdbath in each hand comes to mind from the movie Eastwood directed, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Good clues.
