Keep in mind that you do not have to go to the actual thing. You can take a picture of your bike by something that is somehow related and let people figure it out

So yea.

Oooooh I def have to “like” this one!!!!

From the link: “Those who avoided participation in the draft came to be known as “slackers.”* Derived from the Latin “laxus,” the word was used primarily for nautical purposes prior to the war; a description for a slow moving current (e.g., a “slacker tide” or “slacker water”). Once the war effort began, however, “slacker” became shorthand for a range of activities perceived to be unpatriotic.”

Here is DC’s memorial to the “slacker” antonym, those who did serve, and died, in WWI.

And Kitty makes the steal for Slacker! I guess we still dont know whether SteveO is or is not a Slacker (he did like the post referencing him as a Slacker)

Next: Carlo Valdonoci June 2, 1919

“On June 2, 1919, a militant anarchist named Carlo Valdinoci blew up the front of newly appointed Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer’s home in Washington, D.C.—and himself up in the process when the bomb exploded too early.”

Please remember that your bicycle is required to be in the picture.

This seems like a contradiction

One million trolling points so awarded.

Kitty gets yet another point for Carlo Valdinoci. At this rate we wont even be able to catch Kitty in the final Jeopardy round!

Next: Assassination Attempt on Harry Truman (be nice to the secret service folk)

[NemaVeze]

When Puerto Rican revolutionaries made an attempt on Truman’s life in 1950, the White House was being renovated, so the president was staying at Blair House.

NemaVeze gets the point for Truman.

Next: National Guard

Again, SteveO has jumped the gun. The item is not in play until the official divination of score.
