OT: 117th Obsequious Banter Thread: National Cookie Day is celebrated in December

I firmly believe they at least recovered some life form inside the crashed crafts. the 1933 crash discovery and then retrieval at the end of the war story in particular is more interesting to me then the Roswell incident.

Are you talking about the crash in Italy during Mussolini's time?

On this note, I've never seen anyone celebrate winning the 50/50 raffle at local games. I'm convinced it's the PR team that buys one ticket and proceeds to pick their own number every time.

You can often buy tickets remotely. The Canucks allow it anywhere in the province for example. There’s a good chance the winner isn’t in the building.

Yeah, stored in Magenta Italy until it was recovered after bombings in the area by allied forces in ww2. Then brought back to the US. Although various articles released on the crash indicate that two humanoid bodies were found in/around the craft that were approximately 5ft 9 inches with blonde hair and blue eyes with asian characteristics.

This differs in opinion from what people traditionally picture when talking about aliens being small/green creatures

They sound like K-pop stars...

Maybe all aliens are actually k-pop stars.

This is very plausible as they are rather odd beings...

Btw...on that same topic...apparently the Vatican is being mum about it.

Pressure on Vatican to reveal archives after "UFO cover up" claims

The papal state has yet to comment on allegations that it facilitated the recovery by the U.S. government of a UFO that supposedly crashed in Italy in 1933.

I don't like chaos but the chaos of Christmas/holiday season always gives me another level of energy. Too many things to do still.

Can I have some of that..this time of year I am more lethargic than normal

I have had so much fun with this just typing random prompts. Some of the Flyers related ones have been comical.

Back in my day, the cops would tell some kids to skip the stop sign. Fail if you did. Their excuse, What if your parent told you to ignore a sign?

... or a road crew guy with an orange flag and vest. Who gave you authority over all of society's laws, man?

Are there any excel gurus out there that know how to combine vlookups with if statements? @JojoTheWhale for some reason, you strike me as someone that I feel like might know how....

Eff cancer..

Colon cancer is rising in young Americans. It’s not clear why.

Agree with this woman

“It’s environmental,” said Amanda Blackburn, 43, a cancer survivor who attends the support group, which is part of the Colon Cancer Prevention Project. “It’s everything we eat, everything we drink, everything we consume. … Americans put things into their food that the Europeans won’t allow in their yoga mat.”

My grandparents were full of asbestos and coal dust. My parents are full of lead and fallout. I am full of chemicals.

By local I'm talking Swedish second tier hockey. It's paper ticket in hand so you'd have to actually be there. But alas, not once...

So I tried this, I just put in the word "tikaani", which was the name of my old Siberian Husky. It gave me this picture:

Which is pretty cool because besides being a cool picture, "tikaani" is an Inuit word meaning "wolf".

Bert Kreischer (pretty known comedian) apparently won a 50/50 at a Flyers game within the last month or so when he went. He was in town for a show(s) & went to a game one of those nights.

VLOOKUP with IF statement in Excel

In Excel, combine VLOOKUP with IF to get a result conditional on the value returned by VLOOKUP (yes/no, true/false, ...).In this example, we'll check if a product is in stock based on its remaining amount:

@Superman33 just got my calendar notification to cancel the 1 week free trial Paramount+ subscription I got so the kids could watch the new Paw Patrol movie. Went to cancel and they offered me 2 more months for free. Just a quick edit to the calendar and we're back in business.

This Lego Technic tow truck is the most tedious and complicated build I've ever done for a Lego set. But it's a little rascal's Christmas present. Must power through.
