Why cut only in half? Why not two-or-three-chapter chunks, with a copy paper cover held with binder clips? Carry the one you’re reading plus the next chapter(s).

The walker is part of the defense strategy. Not in the sense of “the defendant is a frail old man who could never…”, but in the sense of “as befitting a captain of industry, the defendant has a penis that is so colossally huge that it unbalances him, requiring him to use a walker fo stability, and that’s why the…

Hey, that’s 

Most people are dumb. It’s simple mathematics. If you are really smart, 95% of everyone you meet, work with, date, are dumber than you and therefore sub-humanly stupid. If you are average smart, there’s still a 50-50 chance of people being dumber than you, and therefore too dumb to live. If you aren’t all that clever,…

Sounds more like one of the suggested solution to the “Peter Principle” to me: promote the incompetent sideways, to an out-of-the-way position.

And mold. Sometimes cars get too humid (when you open the trunk to get things in or out in the rain), than the trunk gets closed with high humidity and in darkness. Mold loves it.

Living in Brazil, no coat. I should have a blanket, but I have a waterproof tarp to cover the back seat (for my dog). Umbrellas (more than one), tote bags (grocery bags aren’t given away freely anymore), a flattened cardboard box (to be folded up into a carrying box or, if needs be, used as a mat is I need to kneel or…

I think the lies being easily disproved is a feature, not a bug. Just like Nigerian email scams are poorly written on purpose to weed out the non-dummies, Trump’s lies are easily disproved to weed out the unfaithful. This is a coup brewing. Get enough dimwits behind you and you can take over and entrench yourself in…

Lots of enthusiasm on that ‘yes’.

Comping would be the right thing to do, at a first glance. However… if the bartender knew/thought the drink was too sweet, it was his opinion against whoever was in charge (owner, maybe?). If the owner thinks the drink is the bees’ knees, there’s no way he/she/it would comp. Its a “perfect drink” and comping would eat…

The good thing about francesinhas is that you can production-line them if you are throwing a party: keep building them one by one, than leave the oven part for last, all at once.

“you probably don’t have a panini press, I recommend pushing this sandwich down with your hand for a few seconds to compact everything.”

Oh, good. Now you know the flavor.

Having your emotionless sphinx of a wife all smiley at THAT guy, the popular, two-term, *black* (read that as you wish) man must be poison to an unpopular, soon-to-be-impeached, small-handed (take that as you wish, once again) insecure man.

She *thinks* that, ‘cause she knows where the checks come from.

It seemed as if he was about to cry. Oh, poor, poor country.

My guiding principle: anything offered too eagerly, or offered too insistently, or offered without giving you time to think properly before accepting IS NOT IN YOUR BEST INTEREST.

Balloons are too dangerous, with camera drones flying overhead. There should be checkered deer let loose on the track.

Once I watched an interview with a race car driver on TV. In the story it was mentioned that the driver lived in an exclusive condo in Key Biscayne. From that and a frame from the interview shot against the floor-to-ceiling windows, I was able to define which building in Key Biscayne (using Google Maps), which…

“it’s ok to discriminate against a person for being too smart.”
