Read an article recently about all the Chinese nationals who worked in the British merchant marine during the war, many marrying English women and starting families and businesses there. After the war, many of them were secretly rounded up amd deported without any reason or notice. Their families thought they just up and left.

Right, the Brits were offering Chinese sailors better pay and conditions in order to offset the losses to the war.
Poon tried to immigrate to the US at first but the chinese exclusion act quota had been filled

I saw this the other day and just thought it was too good a story to not share. Plus, who doesn’t love a salty Poon?

Poon remains undefeated
After her defeat at Actium by Octavian's (Augustus) forces, and after realizing that Antony was a lost cause, Cleopatra tried to "negotiate" with Octavian to "consolidate" power, but of course he was having none of it.
Her next move was suicide.
Historians have debated ever since whether this was the first recorded incident of "poon" taking an L.

I didn’t really have a specific song style for this one, just spoken word.

I feel so dumb. How did I miss this part of history? I guess I didn’t get much farther than Marc Antony’s death
