Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
This week, another tiptoe through non-sequiturs, riffs, racy stories, and long forgotten factoids and anecdotes about TV, movies, and whatever else pops into the GLoPer's psyches. We've got Liberace, Rob may be re-locating, Jonah has anger, John knows why fandom is addicting, and a story about Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn that has a good end.

There is a real difference in cancer rates among smokers pre-ww ii and post. With the advent of chemical potash based fertilizers in tobacco, the plants became contaminated with trace elements from the potash - namely polonium 210 and lead 210 ... These elements get caught in your lungs (or the lungs of 2nd hand smoke breathers) and cause cancer.
This is why lung cancer was relatively rare pre ww ii, but became common in the post war years. IF we regulated the use of these fertilizers from tobacco production lung cancer rates would fall.
Movies in San Fransisco? How about 'Zodiac'?
You'se all discussed New Orleans movies, and skip over "Big Easy"?

John mentions it and that he doesn't like it, then Rob mentions a movie, and then they do an ad read.

Rob should be quite happy, "Study Finds Link Between Happiness, Not Knowing Who Chrissy Teigen Is". Sadly I know a bit about her and am sadder for it.

Funny article!
Actually, I'm perfectly happy knowing who Chrissy Teigen is. I first heard about her on the Mock and Daisy podcast, where they verbally dismembered Teigen for some of the things she's said and done.
Not knowing her personally is why I'm happy . . .
