Steel barricades outside Manhattan Criminal Court spark speculation

How about water? I just checked and Florida is going to get into the mid to upper 80s this week. How much shade is outside Mar-a-largo?

Thanks @gracchus .
I can’t recall seeing it, though I know of it.
It’s not the one with Einstein in?
Oh, don’t bother answering that, I’ll IMDB it.

ETA - Not seen it. Not the Einstein one. Will find it somewhere and watch it now though, so ta muchly.

Honestly? I’d be happy to fill a moat with “patriots”. Very happy.

The human body is mostly water.

You know “the tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time”. . . something something. . . .

(It’s kind of funny that they are literally talking about a ring of riflemen surrounding Trump. . . like they aren’t familiar with the phrase “circular firing squad.”)

Oh good, I’m not the only one who jumped to that same allusion.

At the risk of getting too far off-topic, this movie is fantastic - the writer did his research, basing it on life at Caltech, and getting the science mostly right. Plus, it’s hilarious. One of my top-five favorite movies of the 80s. See it immediately.

Thanks for the recommendation.
I am currently 24 minutes and 14 seconds into said movie on another tab.
Good stuff so far and, so as not to stray too far off-topic, not a single bloody barricade, although one ‘moat’ of dry-ice in the corridor.
:wink:

Yes it is/was.
Just finished it. Really good fun.
Longer than I expected.
Classic 80’s teen-movie villain (William Atherton).
A night of not-before visited nostalgia for me!

It does exist. Not sure how deep it is, though.
