Chess 2020. Has anyone seen this "historic" chess set advertised?

I can't get a picture to post, but this is one of the tackiest souvenirs I've seen. Who buys this garbage?

Here's a blast from the past. Has anyone here ever used one of these?

When I was newly married and just had my first child, we rented a house that had one of these out back in the wash house. I also had about 30 feet of clothes line. They certainly got your clothes clean, and they smelled fresh from the sunshine, but it was a lot more work than modern appliances, especially when you were washing diapers and laundry for a newborn.

I think of things like these when people start glorifying the good old days.

Michelle Williams: “Women, when it’s time to vote please do so in your own self-interest. It’s what men have been doing for years, which is why the world looks like them. But don’t forget we’re the largest voting body in the country. Let’s make it look more like us.” #Warren2020

I was looking for lentil soup recipes and found one from Alto Brown that calls for grains of paradis

also known as alligator pepper. Has anyone hear ever used this? It sounds interesting.

Its seeds are used as a spice; it imparts a pungent, black-pepper-like flavor with hints of citrus. It is commonly known as grains of paradise, melegueta pepper, alligator pepper, Guinea grains, ossame, or fom wisa. Wikipedia

If Barack Obama and Donald Trump were both hanging from a cliff and you could only save one, where would you and Obama get #NewYearsDay lunch afterwards?
