  1. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Here’s hoping that we have a lot to be thankful for in the next year.

  2. My pick is the second, J.D. Vance.

    Here he is with Elvis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAk8UqL-hzk

    And to Shirehome’s “BE SAFE…”, I indeed look forward to a happy Thanksgiving, but as far as safe, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom should I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life; Whom should I dread?” Psa 27:1

    Happy Thanksgiving, Shirehome!

  3. And if I may be so bold, may this be the fate of those “walking dead men”,
    per The Rime of the Ancient Mariner:

    “Like one, that on a lonely road
    Doth walk in fear and dread,
    And having once turn’d round, walks on
    And turns no more his head:
    Because he knows, a frightful fiend
    Doth close behind him tread.”

  4. Tomi Pizur, 2:35 – tho the low musical notes just above that G1 are the reason. I was hoping for any more musical than just low motor growling, but none really had what I was sort of hoping for.

    I do wonder how low Leonard Cohen could go, and similarly this young guy:

    (not so close to the lowest notes, but musical)
    I like some Barry White low note songs.

    Guinness says lowest voice is, like Nonapod noted, Tim Storms

    ” As of 2008, the new record for lowest note was 0.7973 Hz” – comment moon3817

    Bill K – it’s not Vance, it’s Sumner:
    J. D. (John Daniel) Sumner
    (Vance is US Senator, tho! I follow him on X)

    When young, my friends and I would try to have loooong burps, and say, while burping:
    “You rang?”

  5. My dad sang with Thurl Ravenscroft in college, for a while way back when. He’s the guy that sang ‘You’re a mean one – Mr. Grinch’….

    Apparently, singing those ultra-deep notes causes discomfort and sometimes even some pain.

  6. Had a friend in college who could speak-burp the entire first line of the Iliad in Homer’s greek. We were duly impressed.

  7. Following in the footsteps of “X, formerly known as Twitter”…

  8. miguel @7:34PM, Israel needs to show it is antisemitic and thus win the favor of the global left by releasing one Palestinian prisoner in exchange for all the hostages.
