Bwah! Awesome.
And happy anniversary!
People that smell like food are weird to me. But then, I don't smell like anything really. I used to, but, lazy.

That bugs me in general.
Of course, I may only keep things like Epiphany and Candlemas straight because the French have made food holidays out of them.
Also, the Immaculate Conception doesn't refer to Jesus.
That's my favorite!
My favorite part of that is that before they decided it was immaculate, people used to celebrate the conception. I bet they had fun party games.
Okay, this is a question perhaps better suited to Literary or GWW, but I figured in Natter I'll get a pretty good representation. I've got the story I'm working on, set in the sixties, and I've got an enormously wealthy family as a player. (We're talking mid-sixties equivalent of Bill Gates wealthy or The Donald.)
So do we think that in the mid-sixties, any member of this family would have opted to travel First Class or would they have eschewed the unwashed masses altogether and had their own private jet?

Right. Everyone knows that's the impossible pass that Franco Harris managed to catch.

Pin the tail on...

I don't think that the unwashed masses were flying much in the mid-60s. According to this site (which I've never heard of before, so I don't know how accurate it is) airlines had less than 3% of the transportation market share in 1965.

Well, the Lear Jet popularized corporate jets, and that came out in the early '60s, I think.
Wealthy people back then were often put off by the fact you couldn't stand up in a Lear Jet. The salespeople would say, "You can't stand up in a Cadillac either."
