At war

1623 was the beginning of the Thirty Year War and other historical events.

1623

Brock 8/7

Mr. Brock, Sir, we are sorry that we have to contradict you again, but the Thirty Years' War lasted from 1618 to 1648. There is no reason to assume any dates other than these. (The Wikipedia-site your link leads to does not contradict this at all.) Not that it would matter: those who died in 1623 are as dead now as those who died in 1618 - or in 2014.

Please note: Master Raffaele has travelled to Aspromonte in Reggio Calabria, heartland of the 'ndràngheta. We have heard nothing from him for a number of days. - April 2009, recovering in the public hospital of Gioia Tauro: Dottor Eugenio B. had just started a hypnotic session, supposedly to retrieve Master Raffaele's memories, when Giovanni Tigri (then unknown to Raffaele) rushed in, shouting at the Doctor: Lei ha fatto una perizia fasulla, e lo sa benissimo! Lei è una marionetta della mafia, lei è … cattivo! (You have fabricated a false expert's report, and you know that very well! You are a puppet of the Mafia, you are … evil!) Then, seeing the wonder in Master Raffaele's eyes, he turned towards him and said: Attenti a questo uomo! (Beware of that man!) Wish Master Raffaele luck.TRC

The post # is getting close to the year the colonies celebrate their Declaration of Independence.
Just transpose those last two numbers and you have got it!
 
state bird, the northern mockingbird

Well, since it's the mockingbird, perhaps we should get Elmer Fudd to do a cover of a Stones' song. :smoke:

Midnight Wrambler

Did you hear about the midnight wrambler
Everybody got to go?
Did you hear about the midnight wrambler
The one that shut the kitchen door?

He don't give a hoot of warning
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak
He don't go in the light of the morning
He split the time the cockerel crows

Talkin' 'bout the midnight wrambler
The one you never seen before, yeah
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler
Did you see him jump the garden wall?

Sighin' down the wind so sadly
Listen and you'll hear him moan, yeah, well
Talkin' 'bout the midnight wrambler
Everybody got to go, dance

Did you hear about the midnight wrambler
Well, honey, it's no rock and roll show
Well, I'm talkin' about the midnight wrambler, yeah
One you never seen before

Don't you do that
Don't you do that
Don't you do that

Well you heard about the Boston---
It's not one of those
Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight---
The one that closed the bedroom door

I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger
The knife-sharpened tippie-toe
Or just the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler
You know, the one you've never seen before

So if you ever meet the midnight wrambler
Coming down your marble hall
Well, he's pouncing like proud black panther
Well, you can say I, I told you so

Well, don't you listen for the midnight wrambler?
Oh, you all, play it easy as you go
I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows
Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door

Did you hear about the midnight wrambler?
He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall
And did you hear about the midnight gambler?
And did you see me make my midnight call?

And if you ever catch the midnight wrambler
I'll steal your mistress from under your nose
I'll go easy with your cold fanged anger
I'll stick my knife right down your throat, baby, and it hurts
