I’ve been following the corn gluten meal story since before it became a weed control. Prior to that it was a livestock protein supplement. It’s even in dog food. Then Iowa State did some experiments and jiggered the statistics to make a claim that it had preemergent weed control qualities. It doesn’t. At best, and…

Butter churner.  Perhaps you should collaborate with Claire Lower on your next sex position calorie counter article. 

I’m allergic to walnuts, but I still prefer them in baked goods over pecans.  The only reaction I get is a sensitivity in my mouth.  It feels like I just ate a full mouthful of fritos and scratched my palate. 

This probably doesn’t apply to most of you but if you spray it into the intake of a freshly cleaned jet engine (cranking but not running) the heat in the compressor section will bake the WD-40 into a protective varnish on the blades and stators.

She hasn’t seen the inside of a pantry in years. 

It’s patina to me.  No need to clean it off. 

Yes that was a missed opportunity. Getting the mirrors right are vitally important to driving. From the first image, all the mirror real estate outlined in red is wasted space.

They might be able to reverse engineer airframe parts, but it is very, very hard to reverse engineer engine parts. In the biz we called it a “Black Art” as to coming up with a engine design that works. The hot section of the engine has to operate at temperatures higher than the melting point of the turbine blade metals…

Back in the 90s there was a story going around San Antonio about a Hollywood actor who got offensively drunk at a private country club in town. When the manager asked him to leave, he pulled the “do you know who I am” card. The manager told him, “Yes, sir. And you are not a member.”

Are you a spitter or a swallower?

I’ve had a lot of fancy leather chairs, but this is my go-to for my home office.

Reading y’all’s replies is much better entertainment than what I saw of the movie. It’s like misheard song lyrics meets movie critic.

Kinda like Yoko’s recent trend in articles...phoned in. 

I’m going to side with Elliott on this. I tried watching Power of the Dog and never developed enough interest in it to lose interest in it. Some movies are slow to get going. I’m not sure this one ever got going...because I realized I had better things to do with my time and turned it off.

I started hearing about CRT about the time Governor Abbott of Texas got the word that Texas’ most famous battle, the Alamo, was fought over the rights of Texians to own slaves. General Santa Ana, that brutal dictator of Mexico, of which Tejas was a part, had replaced the old constitution. The new constitution sparked…

ALL the ways:

Editor: “Quick, Lizzy, I need 100 words on the topic of your choice.”

Except in this case we’re not talking about the difference between a drink and a pizza, we’re talking about different words for one animal. If the word opossum is used in Virginia, then it seems to expire at the Virginia border. There is a guy on YouTube who uses opossum, but it sounds so...ick when he says it.
