@DrMichaelBonner A very vague recollection of the later lunar missions, and a somewhat vague recollection of Watergate. Earliest headline: South Vietnam Surrenders.

@DrMichaelBonner Forbidding affection from family members? What could possibly go wrong?

@Largies1832 @anneapplebaum *le* Canada

@GrenadaLoyalist @acuset857 And, one assumes, Co-prince of Andorra.

@RedCrow1534 @Willow_Girl37 @JVanluyk Although I'm dead-set against separation, I'd be indulgent about it if the proponents advocated for a Dominion of Alberta under the Crown. However, the goal seems to be a Republic of Alberta, so it's irredeemable.

@BCPBertan Glad to have you with us!

@martyrids Sacred ministers of such differing sizes brings to mind Dorothy Parker's comment about her strolling with Robert Benchley and Robert Sherwood - "a walking pipe organ"

@cusackandrew I’ve heard that explanation about the wheels, but I think the actual reason was that rubber tires help with traction and acceleration, particularly in unusually steep grade tunnels. I can attest that Montreal trains are not really quieter than in other subways

@RedCrow1534 @CoryBMorgan Of course, there's no better way to cheer on Quebec separatism than to totally mangle the French language in a very short phrase.

@martyrids But the Apocrypha must be included, to frustrate many of the KJV-only militants

[Bruce Patterson @HeraldBruce]

@CanadiAnglican He was a contemporary of mine at university. It's good to see him serving the church as metropolitan.

@DrMichaelBonner I want to see the statue of the Divine Johann in the Temple of Bach.

[Bruce Patterson @HeraldBruce]

@holysmoke It would be even better if we were to discover that 1st Sunday meant “of the year”

[Bruce Patterson @HeraldBruce]

@RedCrow1534 @TristinHopper A worthy list, although "cottaging" might be alarming to any British readers.

@cusackandrew @ruby_dunn01 absolutely
