Good Morning - Hello! It is Friday, September 19th (Day 262). Welcome to ExitEnter, your daily newsletter of the day ahead of you. There is lots of shit happening and ExitEnter wants to help you plan for it. But first, you should probably catch up on all the news this morning and check out your sports scores. Also, see what the weather is going to be like wherever you are. Thanks for reading and/or subscribing.
Note: ExitEnter will be on a small sabbatical through the rest of the month. ExitEnter will continue to publish every morning at the same time but contain perhaps less material - a small version of ExitEnter. Thank you for your understanding.

HOW-TO: Talk Like a Pirate
JOKE: A pirate walked into a bar, and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible." "What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine." "What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before." "Well," said the pirate, "We were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now." The bartender replied, "Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?" The pirate explained, "We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook but I'm fine, really." "What about that eye patch?" "Oh," said the pirate, "One day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up, and one of them pooped in my eye." "You're kidding," said the bartender. "You couldn't lose an eye just from bird poop. "It was my first day with the hook."

WORD: Conflict Entrepreneurs - is an individual or organization that instigates, escalates, or benefits from conflict for their own gain, whether financial, political, or for social status and attention.
HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS: 2025 - Leaving on a jet plane. 2022 - Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. 2022 - Adnan Syed was released from prison. 2010 – The leaking oil well in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is sealed. It took 87 days to do it, cost 11 people their lives and spilled roughly 210 million gallons of oil into the sea. In the end BP got a slap on the wrist and are off somewhere else to destroy more of the world. 2002 - President George W. Bush asked Congress for authority to use military force if necessary to disarm and overthrow Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein if he did not abandon weapons of mass destruction. Lies! 1995 – The Washington Post and The New York Times published the Unabomber's manifesto. 1985 – Tipper Gore and other political wives form the Parents Music Resource Center as Frank Zappa and other musicians testify at U.S. Congressional hearings on obscenity in rock music. 1982 - Emoticons were born when Carnegie Mellon University professor Scott E. Fahlman proposed using a colon followed by a hyphen and a parenthesis – :–) – to depict a horizontal smiley face. 1981 - Simon and Garfunkel reunited for a concert in Central Park in New York. It took place on the Great Lawn, the central open space of Central Park. The first spectators, many carrying chairs or picnic blankets, arrived at daybreak to secure a good spot. The Parks Department originally expected about 300,000 attendees. Although rain fell throughout the day and continued until the start of the concert, an estimated 500,000 audience members made this the seventh-largest concert attendance in the United States in history. 1979 - Forrest Gump stopped running because he was pretty tired and just wanted to go home. 1973 - Gram Parsons died at the Joshua Tree Inn, Room #8 in Joshua Tree, California due to an overdose of alcohol and enough morphine to kill three other people. The room remains the same all these years later - the same mirror and picture still hang on the wall. There is a journal on the bedside table for fans to pay homage. That mirror sometimes rattles inexplicably around 4:00 AM every morning and the back door sometimes opens itself. The next day his body was stolen. Seriously, it’s an amazing story. 1970 - The first UK Glastonbury Festival took place featuring Marc Bolan. 1692 – Salem witch trials: Giles Corey was crushed to death for refusing to enter a plea to charges of witchcraft, reportedly asking officials for "more weight".
"If you want your kids to listen to you, don’t yell at them. Whisper. Make them lean in. My kids taught me that. And I do it with adults now." Mario Batali
“The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.” James A. Garfield
