Rum Doings Episode 180

from Rum Doings · host jellycast

In our 180th ever Rum Doings, our topic is, it's the year 2000! Where are our hoverboards?! Instead we talk about scuppering podcasts, babies on planes, and John correctly points out how average is Frozen. We learn about Nick's daughter's racism, and ponder the results of the upcoming election, and then Nick starts crackling. Yup, sorry again, but Nick is a TERRIBLE PERSON. Even worse, he moves things on to videogames. Fortunately we move on, and discuss how utterly awful are the cartoon strips in Private Eye, which leads us to our favourite topic of User Friendly. And John's version. Toby briefly invades, as our episode 180 special guest, before we return to being rude about a cartoon.

Hannibal Jacob Abbott There are certain names which are familiar, as names, to all mankind; and every person who seeks for any degree of mental cultivation, feels desirous of informing himself of the leading outlines of their history, that he may know, in brief, what it was in their characters or their doings which has given them so widely-extended a fame. Consequently, great historical names alone are selected; and it has been the writer's aim to present the prominent and leading traits in their characters, and all the important events in their lives, in a bold and free manner, and yet in the plain and simple language which is so obviously required in works which aim at permanent and practical usefulness. This volume is dedicated to Hannibal. (Summary from the preface of the book) The Mark of Zorro Johnston McCulley http://www.adfreebooks.com - 500+ audiobooks, all ad freeIn Spanish California, a troubling pattern had developed. The natives were reduced to peasants, the Franciscan friars that ministered to them were derided, and the only people who mattered were the caballeros – who styled themselves as knights of the New World. These men strutted about in elegant clothes, riding magnificent horses, and sporting rapiers at their sides that they were quick to draw if they felt their honor was affronted. Into this world burst Zorro (Spanish for “fox”). A later-day Robin Hood, he stole from the rich and gave to the poor, but he also took it upon himself to punish men who had notably abused others. Cloaked and masked, appearing suddenly from the dark, he always stayed ahead of the manhunt launched at his heels. The authorities called him a highwayman. And when the doings of a corrupt governor began to affect the good people around the pueblo of early Los Angeles, Zorro responded – vigorous
