Remember those leather bound complete sets of Agatha Christie they used to advertise on TV back in the early '80s?
Bet you wish you had one now.
(and no, I don't have one...)

@Malekai4748 Grew my hair out shoulder length this year. First time in decades. Couldn't stand it. Shaved it a few days ago.
"Aura" be damned. I want comfort.
The myth of George Washington is more important than the “history.”
Why?
Because myths are the container of a culture’s ideal values.
Our founding hero could have been like the Romans— a man who murdered his own brother.
But our ideal hero is a giant who “never told a lie” and kneeled to pray at Valley Forge.
That our culture selected those values to revere and preserve in myth isn’t “propaganda” about our past. It is the archetype we aim toward.
Mythological hero George Washington is a story we should keep telling.
@JazzMemes Jerry: Is that why you're wearing the fedora?
George: Huh?
Jerry: The toupee didn't work out?
George: I don't believe in toupees!
Kramer: But do toupees believe in you? Miles wore a toupee.
Jerry: He did not...
George: COULD WE GET BACK TO GIANT STEPS?
