The college bowl games have gotten ridicules. The Duke's Mayo Bowl. 🙃 Gasperilla Bowl might be cool only because Gasperilla is a pirate festival. Cheez-its Bowl? Instead of Gatorade, the winning team better pour Cheez-its on their coach.

"The US state of Philadelphia"? :rolleyes:
😊😊😊😊😊

😂😂😂😂😂

I so read that as “city” in my head. DAMN YOU, MENTAL AUTOCORRECT!

Side note: while I’m well aware that many cities in the USA are named after cities in other countries, I didn’t realize Philadelphia was one of them. Then, last night, my Dad & I were watching a show on Egyptology, and there it was.

I had heard of this before. The City of Brotherly Love in Greek. Here in Georgia we have a city called Smyrna. It has ancient origins also, in Turkey.

I found a better, more practical use for this China cabinet that came with my house. I wanted to, and still do want to get rid of it. Until I do....

I knew knew about Smyrna, as well as the translation of Philadelphi, but was 100% clueless as to the origins of its name choice.

I can't remember where it was I had heard it, but I remember hearing the name in reference to Alexander the Great. I think it had to be something on YouTube talking about ancient history. Religion for Breakfast maybe? Casual Historian? Digital Hammurabi? Not sure. If you haven't been those channels, they're excellent.

An actual play podcast i listen to has a great concept I'm going to steal.

An item is being hidden in two places in time. One piece in the past, and the other in the future. To travel in time, your soul goes into the body of ancestor in the past, or a descendant in the future. The entity (The Queen of Chaos) they're hiding the item from is timeless. She has no ancestors or descendants. She has to rely solely on agents to work for her.
