I bet that deep-frying the steak was actually the most delicious preparation.

Lots of people love a cheap piece of meat, really well done. It's called Pot Roast and it's fucking delicious.

I used to own a coffee shop and I would say that a dry latte is a latte with less milk and more foam. So, a cappuccino.

Don't flush pills away. Any pills. Ever.

My first thought whenever someone proposes a system that has to be heavily managed is, "ok, what happens when there's a power outage?" In this thought experiment, the result would be widespread calamity, I'm guessing. Actually, I can't think of a single scenario where this thought experiment doesn't end in calamity.

Thank you for this. Very enlightening!

You are a clear thinker, xiuxiub!

I've never had my labia fall out of my shorts. That sounds painful.

I played volleyball in high school and we just wore regular gym shorts, which were short-ish, to be sure, but not crazy short. Then I tried out for my college volleyball team and saw the booty shorts uniform. I asked the ass't coach the reason for the shorts, and she said that they are better for playing in, less…

I like mine with plenty of extra chuckle.

I ordered an Ahn-deve salad a couple of weeks ago, and the waiter corrected me, "oh the en-dive salad?". I was like, sure, I'll have that.

I've heard Dune (the best book ever written) put into the category of Sociological Science Fiction.

I've never understood why Princess of Mars gets so much love. It is truly one of the stupidest books I've ever read. I was embarrassed by its juvenile themes, racism, sexism and overall bombastic tone. It's almost as bad as the Bible.

The Culture Novels are the best. AI's as legitimate characters with deep personalities, not just foils to the human characters. Has any other author done that before?

Chairdog. Thanks, Bene Tleilax!

So "learnin' be hard" is your point? Pretending to speak with imperfect grammar to mock someone else's supposed stupidity IS your point? Your point is stupid. Almost everything you've said so far is such a fucking reach that it's laughable. I wish I'd left this thread earlier but I was kind of enjoying hate-reading…

"Learnin' be HARD!"

Well, I bought them with my own money. It never occurred to me to expense it. Sometimes, if the ladies were feeling flush, they would come in with a contribution for the drawer.

I was a manager with 15 women in my department. I had a whole file drawer stuffed with tampons, maxi-pads, mini-pads, tylenol, advil. You name it, I had it. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to keep my department going on a daily basis. The ladies would just sidle into my office, give me a meaningful look, and…
