Do you want to explain what the Flag of Maryland and white supremacists have in common - I missed it skimming the article. I mean, I know Maryland has a long history of racism (as does the US in general), but can you point out what specifically surprised you?

Apparently during the Civil War the secessionists in Maryland used one flag and the Unionists used another, and post-War they combined the two flags to make the current flag. Not included in the article is that apparently white supremacists use this as a code by flying the state flag backwards, so that the secessionist quarter is primary.

Compare for the fifth entry, where it doesn't say that. Huh.

On a family trip a couple decades ago, we found an old hotel that still had the Magic Fingers hooked up and Mom paid for us to try it. We sat and watched Speed while enjoying the bedquake.

What, you never watched Gladiator? Also "insert eggs inside victim and spawn eat their way out" is a pretty common cliche.

But with Casu Marzu, people are eating that stuff on purpose!
