Of course you choose a dead actor portraying a character from movies my children made me watch!!
Now if it had been Darth Vader or the Wicked Witch of the West( man that was scary when I was young, green woman with flying monkeys?) I would have closed computer and ran screaming to the bathroom.
Sorry sir you are not uncouth.
You are completely couth in my eyes.
From the WIKI thingy:The reason they call it Mean Time is because it is confusing!!
Did they mean to have numbers that do not stop at 12???
OK got to drink a hectoliter of soda now.
See. Confusing.
Can't find a sarcasm font so I am adding this giggling tennis ball looking thing.
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. GMT was formerly used as the international civil time standard, now superseded in that function by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Today GMT is considered equivalent to UTC for UK civil purposes (but this is not formalised) and for navigation is considered equivalent to UT1 (the modern form of mean solar time at 0° longitude); these two meanings can differ by up to 0.9 s. Consequently, the term GMT should not be used for precise purposes.[1]
Due to Earth's uneven speed in its elliptical orbit and its axial tilt, noon (12:00:00) GMT is rarely the exact moment the sun crosses the Greenwich meridian and reaches its highest point in the sky there. This event may occur up to 16 minutes before or after noon GMT, a discrepancy calculated by the equation of time. Noon GMT is the annual average (i.e. "mean") moment of this event, which accounts for the word "mean" in "Greenwich Mean Time".
Originally, astronomers considered a GMT day to start at noon while for almost everyone else it started at midnight. To avoid confusion, the name Universal Time was introduced to denote GMT as counted from midnight.[2] Astronomers preferred the old convention to simplify their observational data, so that each night was logged under a single calendar date. Today Universal Time usually refers to UTC or UT1.[3]
The term "GMT" is especially used by bodies connected with the United Kingdom, such as the BBC World Service, the Royal Navy, the Met Office and others particularly in Arab countries, such as the Middle East Broadcasting Centre and OSN. It is a term commonly used in the United Kingdom and countries of the Commonwealth, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Pakistan and Malaysia; and in many other countries of the eastern hemisphere. In some countries (Britain for example) Greenwich Mean Time is the legal time in the winter and the population uses the term.
My note: GMT is used by the US military and other FedGov entitities.
I'm in Memphis, TN (well, a suburb now) - between Danie and Doc. Over the bridge and mountains from ghost19.
I don't know about pretty, but it's fun.

If a plague hits, like in The Stand, where will we form our Free Zone? I'm voting for a nice condo near Spidey and FlowJoe! Lol
Excellent idea! Hammocks in the breeze, girly drinks on the beach. I think hoss is thereabouts as well. Danie and I will head out and pick you up on the way.
....meanwhile Ghost19 and I will be on y'alls six, pickin' off zombies and drinkin' cheap beer flavored swill...
Personally, I'm going to Antarctica! Being a fan of King and horror as a whole....It seems that the safety place during any apocalypse is somewhere with temps below zero!
Any type of organic life form with some level of fluid included....bam...Frozen (without proper gear)
Germs/Bacteria...Where?? The population in those areas are limited.
Zombies.......frozen! Regardless of their zombification stage
I hunted down my ear buds to listen to that nottie. I'm so happy to see the words. I've been singing that wrong for 35 years.
