Quote from: Sir Lüc on July 26, 2026, 04:20:23 AMHeh, if Zappa was still alive, he'd be welcome at any Alpini parade to witness how winos don't march, and definitely don't harrass anyone either.

You can't fool me, northern Italy is beer country :D

Quote from: Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC on July 24, 2026, 11:47:03 PMThis is an ironic conversation, because Zappa's book contains a chapter in which he discusses a theory that beer (as opposed to other forms of alcohol) somehow causes "violent male bonding". In his own idiom: "whiskey might make you want to kill your girlfriend, but beer makes you want to do it with your buddies watching".

I love a good scotch but it's never made me want to kill anything :-)

Quote from: Zappa, same sourceConsumption of (beer) leeds to pseudo-military behavior. Think about it - winos don't march. Whiskey guys don't march either (sometimes they write poetry, which is often more horrible, though).

Anyone out there looking for a TL;DR: the Prog minority government made some bad calls due to excessive partisan antipathy, which led to them bring less-qualified people into posts of responsibility. The next Union-led government will strive to put policy and competence over "team sports".

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on July 17, 2026, 09:49:07 AM@Crement Itravilatx has nominated himself as new party leader. With no other nominations before the deadline we have now moved toward a question period from members.

Our sincere commiserations to Talossa's equivalent of Lurleen Wallace.

The decision of a sex pest unanimously condemned by the Ziu, to pretend to quit politics but in fact hide behind his husband as a stalking-horse, might just be cunning enough to fool the low-info voters on which elections sadly hinge.

HAHAHAHA KR1 later divorced his Queen for being "slovenly and frigid", so, hmmm, successful avoidance

Quote from: Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be on July 13, 2026, 02:22:04 AMTalossa has been online for so long that not only did we probably have a website with a good Frutiger Aero look when it was the norm, we probably had something even older-looking, haha

Behold - in its glory - Talossa's national website as of March 1999.

Note that this was when Sir Tamoran dal Nava, was Seneschal, and KR1's favourite person, before KR1 rewrote the history Big Brother style to turn him into a monster.

An oldie but a goodie - from a ZRT election campaign 14 years ago

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on July 03, 2026, 04:49:22 PMWe don't have any Irish Talossans, do we? I discovered hurling last year,

I've played both Gaelic football and camogie, the women's version of hurling. Not very good at the latter, too much running

Quote from: Iason Taiwos on July 03, 2026, 11:19:07 AMMajor League Cricket has started in the US. They only have a few teams, and the first season started in 2024. I guess I'll be rooting for the Texas Super Kings since I'm from Texas.

Coached by New Zealand batting legend Stephen Fleming! Check out his form in the 2003 World Cup

What is so attractive about the Progressive Alliance that you decided to quit us after a few hours?

Is it only that they're the government party?

Hey, I didn't know you liked cricket

I've somehow ended up opening batter for my club's 3rd women's team. I'm surprised by that because I always saw myself as a leg-spin bowler, but good coaching has helped me to identify my actual talent

I can't believe this visionary with ideas on "Women Society" didn't follow through

In the 62nd Cosa, the Union of Free Reformists has made it a practice to ABSTAIN on all "Senses of the Ziu" proposed by sex pest unanimously condemned by the Ziu, B. Tzaracomprada. This is because, while a lot of them express correct or even praiseworthy sentiments, we are not going to give any legitimacy to the political activity of a sex pest unanimously condemned by the Ziu.

We are making an exception for this with 62RZ32. It is literally offensive - the height of chutzpah - for a sex pest unanimously condemned by the Ziu to try to make a feel-good resolution on the very topic of sexual harassment. The sex pest unanimously condemned by the Ziu even names himself in this motion. We can only imagine what the victims of his sex pestery unanimously condemned by the Ziu feel about this.

The Union of Free Reformists Cosă and Senäts delegations will deliver a firm and unanimous CONTRA to this impertinent middle finger to public opinion. This is the kind of behaviour that - should the sex pest unanimously condemned by the Ziu be re-elected - will lead to a swift expulsion by a rightfully-disgusted Cosa supermajority."

You already joined the Union of Free Reformists.

Does this prospective citizen actually live in Vuode Province, i.e. around the block from KR1's old house?

CCX was not convicted of sexual abuse of minors btw. The victim was not a minor, the sexual contact was a crime in that he was her teacher.

QuoteWhereas, the Me Too Movement International (https://metoomvmt.org/) has since 2006 provided vital support, resources, and advocacy for survivors of sexual harassment

I think we just found a new classic definition for the term chutzpah.
