Quote from: Molandfreak on September 17, 2025, 03:46:30 PMI didn't think I'd ever hear from somebody who doesn't know who Robin Williams was in my life, but here we are...

I've probably heard the name before, but it's a common enough first name and common enough last name that I couldn't definitively say someone famous with that name existed. I still don't know whether this person is male or female.

Robin Williams is the man wearing the glasses:


"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."
—Olaf Kolzig, as quoted in the Washington Times on March 28, 2003,
commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

It would be an excellent display of what's wrong with this country, at any rate.

Under the current administration, many are hiding from their constituents, so what's the point of a spotter's guide?

If you know which politicians are the incumbents, if you don't like what they are doing, every four years you are given the opportunity to exercise a citizen's most important civic duty: gluing googly eyes onto their campaign posters.

I only personally know of two women who follow this hobby closely.  One is Laura and the other is a local by me involved with the Ridge Route preservation stuff.  This is very much a male dominated hobby.
