Who is Mo?
can you say “zart”?
Thought maybe it was a commenter named Mo.
I never heard that MO was his nick name.
He did a video. FDR in Hell recorded it and posted it to you tube.
I’m pretty sure Elanor has a cameo…

Hey, that poster is for me. My subscription to Procrastination Review expired some time long ago.

I chose option 3. The letter was returned as not able to be delivered.
PR has either gone out of business, or hasn’t yet gotten round to letting the USPS know their new address.
It was a wonderful publication. Sometimes it came with blank pages. The next issue received two or maybe five years later would explain no one got round to writing or editing any articles to be published in the previous issue, but they were so late getting it sent out they decided they needed to get it in the mail anyway.
That meme would be wasted anywhere but here among the brilliant readers of iOTW.
Mozart was not of this earth.
He was writing simple keyboard pieces at 5, violin sonatas and orchestral music at 6 and 7, his first symphony at 9.
His music soars. One great thing about living in Denver was Boettcher Concert Hall, man it was a wonderful place for music. The lights would go down and you were swept away by the music. Every year I would buy tickets for a Mozart piece and a Beethoven.
And to think, the land of the likes of Mozart, Strauss, Mahler, Schubert…men who have created some of the greatest works of music in history is being overrun by muslims whose idea of music sounds like a drunk guy gurgling hot oil while his nuts are being squeezed in a vice grip and vilified by progressives who think no one should listen to their music because of “white privilege”.
Happy B-day Mo.
Looks like a mo. They really didn’t know what to do with hair at that time in history.
Can you say “hammed”?
