I'm hearing this spoken like "Well kiss my grits!"

A demonstration of the impact the St Lawrence Seaway had on Great Lakes sailing: this iron boat is both longer and wider than the Titanic.

Buy a lottery ticket!

And that's why I haven't finished the first story I ever wrote about Dan and Krista...20 years later...

*siiiiiigh*

Where else?

That settles it! Take it all off.

One thing I like about the BBC #AntiquesRoadshow war specials: they don't give valuations.

Educational smart cages for your junk where you have to complete increasingly complex math problems on a little display to unlock it. You could call it the cuckulator

in unrelated news HOW'S 420 GOING FOR EVERYONE 😶‍🌫️

You'd think Stickley would be an exception with how contemporary it can still look. I guess if that's your motivation, you'll just buy new rather than go the antique route.

And only in the after-clips does this #AntiquesRoadshow clip show have something that went down in value.

Paul Revere! #antiquesroadshow

150,000 jump in value. Someone went to the auction house! #AntiquesRoadshow

Tiffany lamp! Drink! #AntiquesRoadshow

Looks tasty!

You did say "few", it counts!

Subtle and timely. Plus the fact that #AntiquesRoadshow isn't celebrating America 250 with visits to Boston or DC or Philly, but with a clip show.

I love this subversive #AntiquesRoadshow special: few (no?) weapons, but a nice collection of Abolitionist items, and anti-Nazi posters, and a Native American powder horn. There is a message here. (And no creepy dolls) (Yet 🤞)

Received as intended :P

Considering their celebration of America 250 is a clip show, I suspect #AntiquesRoadshow is feeling about the same.

I think that tracks with the stuff that was brought in at the time. A lot more "national treasures", colonial furniture, folk art, etc. We're seeing a lot more recent stuff now, so the mood is more relaxed.

The 80s were 20 years ago. I don't make the rules.

"I'll only sell it to the right person." Two weeks later, they sell it for less than the right person was willing to pay. #AntiquesRoadshow

Anything can be worth a fortune in the right kind of auction!

My first exposure to the "Grand Army of the Republic" was learning about its hall in Detroit. #AntiquesRoadshow

As a comic book fan, someone mentioning Roy Lichtenstein is a good way to launch me into a rant.

So much stuff that's actually happening would have been rejected in writers' rooms as impossible to believe.

Something I've always wondered: do the current values take inflation into account? I.E. if an item's value hasn't changed, does that mean it's actually gone down due to inflation?

And a justified one.
