Either term is fine; "Snitch" has a stronger flavor.

Here is the Hollywood Blacklist (1946-1960) - not one of the best inventions of the 20th century.

Particularly tragic for the "Hollywood Ten" and many others, but look at that list of "Red Channels" - many interesting names there too.

Actually, I think there is something intrinsically wrong with the missionary position, but that may be a discussion for another day. A discussion like that would certainly liven things up around here! And it's always good to listen to experts! Maybe I should have said "theoretically" rather than "i...

It's a nice list and mind boggling diversity these days. I would add: Genders: Male Female Pronouns: We, Us, Ours You, You, Yours and I realize you are talking about gender only, but arguably for an extended list concerning gender and preferences: Bisexual Heterosexual  Homosexual from a simpler tim...

Please, no snide remarks.

How is the Free Speech Union coming along these days?

First you tell us George Orwell was an informant and now we can’t make snide remarks...?

Who was the most memorable character in Animal Farm?

On a mountain and meteor adventure and would you believe, there is a town called Wilmot up here.

Somehow it lost a “t” along the way, but here’s proof.

The question is, given the existence of the Wilmot Flat Hunt Club, is there a Wilmot Curved Hunt Club? And what would it look like/do?

very exciting race, yawn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgBzy9MoL0Q I was going to answer that the way it deserved to be answered, but decided to self-censor. Here is a song for both of you - perfect for the mean streets of W Forum. : D Born Under a Bad Sign - Albert King You can find it for yourselves o...

That sounds like half of a perfectly good bet (and a festive occasion!), but what is my obligation if something goes pear shaped along the way?

I guess we would stock up on the Cristal and make some high end Molotov Cocktails then. : D

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who

OK - so the seemingly brain dead shenanigans about the payroll taxes may simply be Stephen Moore’s plan to abolish social security. One might think that a president being entirely dependent on the votes from uneducated white old men would shy away from such policies, but it would fit into the incre...

“Skinny legs! ... I got skinny legs!” Haha.  Well, there's that and also I realize that Rascal would probably "like" these frogs.  Crunch, crunch. : Q But I think developing hunting skills can wait a bit, especially for an omnivore. Lots of foraging options on the menu and we'll spare the little fr...

After heavy rain last week, six small frogs showed up in the cellar here.  I am moving them out to a local marsh/pond today.
Might be Northern Leopard Frogs

To move a discussion of wildlife and wildlife rehabilitation from the x? thread in Brainteasers to a more appropriate habitat.
Wildlife Conservation, Environmental Activism, and discussions of any and all Species are also welcome here.

Go to a certified rehabber, of course! Haha! Well, naturally I would provide the most luxurious terrarium, daily menus for fine insect dining, and plenty of room for exercise and relaxation under shady ferns and so forth. But once the creature adjusts and grows strong, it would be released back int...

Caution is advised when flipping cats and witches, even with your best gloves.

The good (bad) witch -> bad (good) witch might decide to flip you in return!
Then what would you do? : D
