A disastrous attempt at establishing a colony at Panama tied up about a fifth of the Scottish economy in the late 1600s, leading to ruin for a lot of people. A sad tale of greed and cluelessness.

Panama is high on my list of countries to visit in the Americas. But Peru and Bolivia are my top two. Peru for Machu Picchu (and my best friend from my Masters class is from there), and Bolivia for the Salar de Uyuni salt flats.

If there were more consonants there, it would also qualify as a tongue twister.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck,

The answer is only two pieces, as police arrested Mr Chuck McChuck after one of the bits hit a passerby.
"Movies made me do it!" he whined. Police have confiscated his Chuck Norris collection.

I suspect a woodchuck could chuck wood, but not very much of it, and not very far.

That would be upchucking.
How much wood would a woodchuck upchuck if a woodchuck could upchuck wood?

But would a woodchuck upchuck wood if it paced itself and ate reasonable portions?

That was an earlier version of the rhyme...
"How much chuck can a chuck upchuck, if a chuck is upchucking shots."

Wow! You know you're not loved when your own family don't bother putting out a couple of missing person posters.

The Cunninghams might have looked like the stereotypical 50s American nuclear family, but they were really a bunch of weirdoes.
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

Maybe the missing one couldn't combine his Happy Days role with appearing on the cover of MAD every month.

I know I watched Happy Days a lot when I was very young, but it doesn't do anything for me when I see it in reruns.

I feel similarly about many of the shows I used to watch as a kid.

Hogan’s Heroes was one of my favorite show as a kid. Flipper, Daniel Boone, Bewitched, and I Dream of Jeannie were others.

Hogan's Heroes holds up really well for me. As does Green Acres from the same time period.
