I thought “well rounded” was just a polite way of saying “portly”.

Communista Is an accepted English word, not in your average 5000 to 15000 word vocabulary, but it is in use and is in the unabridged dictionary.

This made my day laugh
A little boy goes to his father and asks, “Daddy, how was I born?”
The father answers,
“Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, and googled each other. There your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said: 'You've got male!'”

Rupert Grint, the British actor who played Ron in the Harry Potter series of movies, was too young to spend money when he started earning wealth.
He had to wait until he was of legal age.
After he came of age, the first thing he bought with the huge fortune he had amassed was...an ice cream truck.
It's an ice cream truck.
This is the truck he bought. 1974 Bedford truck designed by Mr Whippy.
Believe it or not, the young actor didn't have an ice cream truck on display in the garden of his mansion. He wanted to use it to sell ice cream!
Well, more accurately, it's about giving it to kids for free.
For a while, he drove his truck through small villages in the area handing out popsicles.
It was a childhood dream.
What could be better than making your childhood dreams come true?
I have read that after the Potter movies he didn’t make good career choices but this had to be fun.

On April 2, 1801, Admiral Horatio Nelson began to enter Copenhagen harbor, in what was to be known as the Battle of Copenhagen. The battle had begun badly for the British, and Nelson's commander signaled for him to withdraw. Nelson, who had lost sight in one eye in the Battle of Corsica in 1794, turned to his flag captain, Thomas Foley, and said, "You know, Foley, I have only one eye. I have a right to be blind sometimes." He raised the telescope to his blind eye, and said "I really do not see the signal." He then proceeded to sink the pro French Danish fleet off its home port of Copenhagen. The phrase "turning a blind eye" is often attributed to this incident.

Looks like he's wearing his bathrobe!
The terms “dressing gown” and “bathrobe” are often used interchangeably, but there are some key differences between the two.
A dressing gown is typically a loose-fitting garment worn over clothes or nightwear for lounging around the house. It is often made from lightweight materials such as cotton or silk and may have a sash or belt to cinch it at the waist. A bathrobe, on the other hand, is designed to be worn after bathing or showering to absorb moisture from the body. Bathrobes are usually made from absorbent materials like cotton or terry cloth and may be hooded or unhooded. They are often thicker and heavier than dressing gowns and are designed to keep the wearer warm and dry after getting out of the bath or shower.
However, the terms “dressing gown” and “bathrobe” are sometimes used interchangeably, and the distinction between the two can vary depending on the region or culture. Ultimately, the difference between a dressing gown and a bathrobe is largely one of semantics, and the terms can be used interchangeably depending on the context.
How To Wear A Dressing Gown
Dressing gowns can be worn to provide privacy and modesty while getting dressed or doing other activities around the house. They are often worn over pajamas or other comfortable clothing, and can be worn during leisure activities such as reading or watching TV.

I remember what it meant when I saw a ham radio tower. It meant I was at the top of the danged hill.

This system is also used at airports for baggage carts. I reckon some porters supplement their incomes returning carts left in parking lots.

surely one of the best "commissary candids" of all time, taken in 1955 during the making of The Court Jester at Paramount Pictures in Hollywood. Basil Rathbone gets ready to tuck into his lunch while wearing a dressing gown, but in movie makeup and wig. Angela Lansbury is fully costumed as Princess Gwendolyn, including an ermine stole around her arms and a crown on her head. Somehow the hamburger in her hand seems out of place!”

As my teacher told us, don’t use google translate. That’s why I have a huge effing dictionary.

That says Mon - Sun (while our week goes Sunday through Saturday, eastern European week goes Monday through Sunday), so wipe your butt on Putin all week long. But just on the weekend?
I don't get it.
Much of the world is Monday to Sunday. Think about it, “On the seventh day, the Lord rested.”

I translated the caption - Friday Monday - but I'm missing the joke.
It translates to a familiar four letter Anglo-Saxon verb.

A DC3? I've always read it was a Douglas dive bomber.
Wikipedia says
QuoteWhile returning from a prearranged tryst[30] in Seattle, he was a passenger on a Douglas AD bomber that ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean near Point Reyes.[31][32] Using a life raft, he and the pilot swam 2 miles (3.2 km) to safety.[33] Eastwood was discharged in February 1953.[34]

The Snitches objected to the term, deemed it derogatory and formed a union.
Once unionized, they decided "Snitch" was indeed an objectionable word and hired consultants to research the matter and come up with a non-offensive descriptive word to describe themselves and their members.
After a number of years, several progress reports and a few million dollars, funded from dues, it was decided by the union executive to put the matter to a vote, that thereafter, they would be referred to as a "SOURCE" "UNNAMED SOURCE" or "A SOURCE CLOSE TO ......)
The voting was administered and the votes tabulated by an independent accounting firm and the results presented to the Executive.
And now you know.
I’m surprised they didn’t get a gov’t grant to fund the research.

I remember an infestation. It was really loud for a couple weeks and then softer and softer until the fall when the remaining bachelors just died.

When I was in Germany and the carnivals came around, a dog tag doubled for the one mark coin that operated the dodgem. Use the tag with the small chain so you could pull it back out and re-use it.
