Not exactly a very comprehensive guide. I was hoping for something more concrete, so this is kind of a let-down. I feel like I could really use some tips to improve my technique.

Good theories. Honestly, I don't totally think it is in reference to the Klan dude, but it sure is an unfortunate coincidence

Wikipedia seems to disagree. I believe you may be thinking of when he took political office, not when he started as Grand Wizard of the Idiot Brigade.

Don't forget the rather unfortunate usage of a bunch of people cruising around in the Confederate car all being named "Duke."

See, there was once a man named David, who was the leader of a wacky little group of goofballs back in the '70s. That li'l jokester even went so far as to get everyone to call him a grand wizard, which is such a zany thing to ask people to do, but people totally did it with a straight face

Anyway, I wonder if it's a coincidence. Who knows?

It's true. Once, when I was visiting Kyoto, I actually forgot how to eat, and a kind elderly man held me and tenderly bottle-fed me. I didn't even ask him to.

Louisiana's pretty easy to remember, as well- not just because it's the boot, but also because it's shaped like the first letter in Louisiana.

If someone showed me a map of a fantasy world they created with something like that on it, I'd think they were a hack. But, here we are, I guess!

This mfer right here. Total sugar bomb. Absolutely horrible for you. It's the best.

Keith has mad balls using a picture of Simu Liu on his dating profile

Awesome. So, yeah, anyway, the children's show about the talking dog that wears silly costumes and teaches you about literary figures. I really enjoyed that when I was a kid.

I figure it's because the year can be seen as an optional appendage if you're talking about dates from the current year. Like, I can say "that happened on May 5th," or "I'll be there June 18th," and you can reasonably assume I mean in 2024 unless I specify "June 18th, 2063."

Now, as for why you can say "I'm going on the 18th," but Americans don't say 18th of June, 2024, I haven't a clue. We really only seem to have logical explanations for the way we do things about half of the time.
