Some of these I don't remember at all...wtf are "the guardians"? Why was "the protestor" so notable 3 years after obama got elected, and what happened with good samaritans in 2005?

"The Protestor" should be the most obvious - 2011 was the year of the Arab Spring.

"The Guardians" were several reporters who were harassed / killed for their coverage.  Jamal Kashoggi is the most notable.

"The Good Samaritans" were Bono, Bill and Melinda Gates for their philanthropy.

"The Silence Breakers" was the Me Too movement.

"The Whistleblowers" uncovered fraud and deceit at, amongst others, Enron.


And I very obviously remember this all and did not have to google any of it.

They seem a bit lazy just picking the presidential election winners every 4 years.

They also seem to be pretty pessimistic on Joe's life expectancy.

Well not exactly every year - Clinton got it in '92 but not '96, GHW Bush got it in '90, Reagan got it in '80 and '83 but not '84, Nixon got it in '70 and '71, but not '68, Eisenhower got it in '58 and '44, but neither were election years.

But yeah - a sitting President is pretty much guaranteed to be Man of the Year at some point.  Ford was the only exception, but understandable.

'44 was an election year, just not Ike's.

2003 - "The American Soldier" (them)

This one is the cringeiest.

And a rerun from 1950.

Took the dog out to pee around dusk and there was a deer wandering around between my yard and the neighbors'.

I took her out again to poop, and the deer was still there, laying down in the bushes and watching me.

It's like a horse with horns.

I'm on a ridge just above a river and the deer trail down to the river goes through my backyard...deer are constantly walking around back there...my dog will bark at them and chase after them. We probably need to get a fence or he is going to run off...

It is legal to hunt here with a bow...I've been contemplating getting a bow and learning how to clean a deer and then we would have no more meat expenses. But my wife is not on board.

[Josquius]

Your wife is right.
Campers suck.

I am with you for a change. If you live right next door to such an emergency food source why not learn how to utilise it.
