The real giveaway was the use of retro reflective pigments

Malden was also the frequent television spokesman for American Express. He appeared in many commercials featuring lost or stolen wallets.

I'd never heard it until I followed your link, so thank you for posting it. I didn't recognize the piece, but used a reverse image search on just that portion of the comic that held the notes. The search came up with no exact matches, but a couple looked promising and I followed those until I found a possible name. Then, on Wikipedia I found this image. It appears to be a match, but I admit I could be wrong.

It really surprised me though that recognizable music was even used at all. He could have just thrown any complicated looking set of notes up and been done. I guess he didn't want to risk the wrath of letters from piano students everywhere

EDIT: Ha! I didn't see that in the original post that Rachmaninoff was mentioned until just now. I thought I was adding new information. I could have saved myself the bother entirely.

If we'd had this decades ago, we might have had more songs about Trump's old man, and not had a fascist in office right now.

Is that Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G minor? I thought Schroeder was more of a Beethoven man.

51 million??? That's outrageous! He should sue for twice that

Call a plumber. Install a toilet or, if there's space, a claw-footed tub with the whole over-head bath curtain around it. Embrace the awkward

According to whom? The Heraean Games were held in conjunction with the ancient Greek Olympics. Are you saying that they were designed to spare men's feelings, or are you saying that the tradition of sparing men's feelings was already in place in the ancient world?

Well, I do feel younger when I'm listening to the Talking Heads or Bowie in the car. I still drive really slow and carefully, but I do feel a bit more young and reckless.

“We don't need separation of faith and politics. We don't need separation of church and state."

Yeah, yeah you do.

Trump will waive the fees for compliant companies (Amazon, etc.) while enforcing it everywhere else. Small companies will lose, and it'll be just that much more leverage that Trump has over corporations in general.
