Columbus is reported to be of Jewish heritage.. Italians were not called Italians until Guiseppe Garibaldi untited the "Italian States" in the mid/late 1900's

There is some dispute about Columbus even being Italian....or Genoan... Some say he was really from either the Basque region or Catalan..
Aragonian, or Catalonian.
Of course, Italy was united at one time: it was called The Roman Empire.

Ghoolie, after his first week living in Vegas:
Dude, Memphis is hotter than Vegas. I have been in the desert, miles out.......... I will take it ANY DAY versus Memphis heat. Until you experience summer in Memphis, you have no idea what uncomfortable weather is. #1 place in America for respiratory problems. Bad air, morbid humidity, total lack of winds................... I have been to the Middle East...........Memphis is worse.

Not debating about that humidity. So, in Memphis you turn into a mass of jelly.....In Vegas, you become mummified.

Discover some history you may not have known:
The Vikings may have made it as far inland as Minnesota. The Kensington Runestone was found there:

Correct , Sir!
I saw a documentary about Columbus.. (Among the many I've seen).. He's supposed to be of Jewish faith... And I remember something vaguely about Catalan... But that Columbus was pretty much a real disgusting human being , according to some of the personal encounters between Natives and those of his crew...

We are going on a one week cruise through Alaska in August. 7 days on a boat. 4 ports of call. This is NOT a Ghoolie dream week. I have absolutely no fahking clue WTH I am going to see in Alaska. Eskihomos?
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -

I'm not opening the link, but what I mean is that they FOUND America. But it's like when you meet a place and don't tell anyone. Or when someone finds something in an area (Physics, Medicine). You don't DIS-COVER it until you tell the world.

Ok, sorta like when a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
Likewise if someone discovered something and no one is told, did he really discover something?

Quite possibly one of these big boys.

Great.

If you're cruzin' drink heavily. Glaciers, many glaciers. Nothing like having a martini or Manhattan with glacial ice fished out of the ocean. August isn't the best time to go, as the weather is nicer earlier in the year. Near 100% probability of otters too, bet you didn't know those critters have a fur count of 10,000 sq\in. Whales likely. Sorry, no polar bears. If the weather behaves, take the helicopter tour of the Mendenhall glacier outside of Juneau.

Same thing they bitch about seeing in Colorado in August......................................................................Texians.
EDIT: You hear about the Texian who found out that 90% of the people who die do so within 5 miles of their home?
So he moved to Alaska.

You will see awesome beauty. I spent 10 days in Alaska, not on a cruise.....it is magnificent.

I am packing cigars, binoculars, shorts and T-shirts. If it's cold, I can think about Vegas. The wife is very excited about this trip. The thing I am going to enjoy is illuminating for all the passengers that the bottled water on the ship is recycled Caca-Peepee water and shower water. :-). A little Alaskan Ghoolie.........
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -
This time of year sucks. Luckily I will ne underway on my cutter for 90 days missing the 1st 2 months of games. You better believe though, I will have my Salute to Serice Myles Garrett jersey on every Sunday on the Boat.
DO you have any pictures to show? I would love to see them. It is always cool to learn about the real lives of posters, away from all this mental masturbation of being armchair GMs.
I'm 'only' 50 and feel the same as Ghools, and now that Supercross has ended I'll turn my attention to the IRL....... Hey, the 500 is only a few weeks away!
After that, the women's NCAA World Series is right around the corner and UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country - and with a girl I used to coach leading the way in the circle...... I guess it's not all doom and gloom.
I think sometimes we hold on to schidt too long. I know I do. Things really are good here, busy, but so very, very different than I imagined my life would be. Here I am, 63 just about to launch a new water technology that honestly, could be the most important find in water treatment in history. Who knows? We will see. I look at the team now and forget my agitation about it being Browns V2.0, because it really doesn't matter now if the team ever left or not.........those days of Nelsen, Sipe, Bernie, and Brown happened in another lifetime. In my brain, it is as fresh as yesterday. I look at this team and think to myself, WTF, other than the old times, and buddies, keeps me coming back for more?
in one of the Gene Romero Zombie movies, one character asks another why there are so many zombies at the mall. The guy answers, " I don't know, maybe in the back of their brains there is a remnant that makes them want to be near something that was once familiar. I feel like one of those mall Zombies. God, do we deserve a winning team, or what?
I'm pretty busy lately, but yeah it sucks not having football...
Time to start watching soccer, guys! LOL. The World cup starts in three weeks and that's the only sports related thing I'm looking forward to. That and Osasuna's season ending sprint to reach the playoffs to play in Primera Division.
But yeah, I'm intrigued to see what we got in September. The only thing that I think could pull us down is Hue Jackson and now his role has been limited to a reasonable level with Haley in the building. Maybe this time things turn around for good?
Go Browns!!
I like boxing, but don't know anyone any more. For me, sports is football. That's what I got.
For me, sports is football.
It's even less for me. Sports is the Browns.
I used to love the NY Knicks (Walt Frazier - I modeled my game after him - Earl The Pearl, Dave DeBusher, Senator Bill Bradley, Willis Reed, Jerry Lucas bombing 3's - with no 3 point line- Phil Jackson - all shoulders & elbows- and D!ck Barnette off the bench)
...and the Yankees (Mantle & Maris, Clete & Clint Boyer, Bobby Richardson, Elston Howard, Jim Boutin, Tom Tresh, Joe Pepitone, Tony Kubek...)
Now, I quit watching basketball back when it turned into Gang Ball. - It's moved on from that but the Knicks always suck.
And baseball has just plain gotten boring. I'd rather watch golf.
I watch the Browns......(and occasionally IndyCar, IMSA, LeMans & F1 racing)
