So either you are a hirsute Silverback Gorilla or a hairless cat? We gotta know, which is it?!? Probably the cat. I don't think there are any silverbacks in Idaho. Just Bigfeet. |

Does anyone have experience with compression socks? Can you wear just one, or do you have to wear one on each leg when you use them ?

We have patients here in the hospital wearing only 1 sock all the time. Many times for specific reasons due to 1 leg/foot swollen or injured & physician orders only the one limb needing a sock. Since the legs veins & arteries work individually wearing one wont affect the other or cause issues |

This is a question for my friends across the pond- was the recording artist “Adam Ant” big in England ? Or was he a recipient of 15 minutes of fame ?

This is a question for my friends across the pond- was the recording artist “Adam Ant” big in England ? Or was he a recipient of 15 minutes of fame ? Both Adam and the Ants and Adam Ant (solo) were huge over here between 1980 and 1983. In fact, they were arguably the biggest band in the UK at that time. Though they started out as an angular-sounding, bondage obsessed, underground post-punk band, once they signed to CBS Records in 1980, utilised the Burundi Beat with two drummers, and adopted their signature New Romantic pirate/Native American image, they had lots of hits. Adam had three number 1 singles on the UK charts: two with the Ants (Stand and Deliver and Prince Charming) and one as a solo artist (Goody Two Shoes), plus a further 4 or 5 Top Ten hits. He really should've had four number ones, but the song Antmusic was kept at the number 2 position by John Lennon's Imagine, which had been re-released due to his assassination. So, had Lennon not been shot, Antmusic would definitely have reached number 1. Adam and the Ants were the first band I ever really cared about (I'd liked earlier bands and records, but not like Adam and the Ants -- I was obsessed with them!). Their album Kings of the Wild Frontier was the first album I ever owned, and I saved my pocket money to buy all their singles when they came out, just to get the non-album B-sides. Though Adam had plenty of older fans, a large proportion of his following during his early 80s heyday was the pre-teen set. As a result, his commercial fall from grace came fairly swiftly in 1984 and 1985. A disastrously bad performance at Live Aid in 1985 was the final nail in the coffin as far as his career as a pop idol went. I'm still a big, big fan of that late 70s/early 80s era of Adam's music. Basically everything he did with Adam and the Ants or as a solo artist from 1978 until about 1986 is pure gold, as far as I'm concerned. His later stuff is less good, and he had some really terrible mental health problems in the 90s that resulted in him being held in a secure psychiatric hospital at one point. He seems to be better now and tours pretty regularly. But yeah, in answer to your question, Adam Ant was one of the biggest, most iconic stars of the 1980s here in the UK. |

Earlier today I heard “goody two shoes” and remembered how popular they were on MTV in the 80’s. Adam Ant even guest starred on a TV show as a villain.

Yeah, that was an episode of The Equaliser with Edward Woodward. I taped that episode on VHS when it first aired over here, just because it had Adam Ant in. |

Have a Captain Marvel/Shazam question that has perplexed me. Has it ever been explained why Billy Batson is the only member of the Shazam family to actually age when he transforms? Mary, Freddy, The Lieutenant's and Hoppy all remain essentially themselves but powered up.
I summon the Lightning answer round...

Why is it that sheriffs are elected but city police chiefs and state police colonels aren't?

Wasn't sure whether to put this in this thread or the What's on TV thread, but I wanted to know if anyone here has YouTube TV and if so, what are your opinions of it? My wife and I don't necessarily want to get back into having cable, so this has some appeal to us (it has Turner Classic Movies, which we love, and I could get NBCSN, which has Premier League on it).

If you mean a smart TV that can access YouTube, yep. It's pretty cool, actually. It's nice to watch a lot of that stuff on an actual TV instead of a computer screen (like, e.g., Space 1999, which I've started watching recently). |
