Back when America was great doncha know. This is part of that stuff they’re talking about.

lol. I’ve definitely eaten that stuff, I was born in 1970, it’s very much a thanksgiving/potluck/4th of July type if dish. I don’t remember it being called watergate salad though (I don’t know if I would anyway)

I hate marshmallows, love me some pistacio pudding though.

I’ve so eaten Watergate salad. Now, I don’t know if that’s what it was called when I ate it, but it was definitely Pistacio pudding, pineapple, marsmallows and nuts.

I hate marshmallows, but I love pistachio pudding.

10X as imminent and 100x as dangerous as the insolvency crisis of social security they keep trying to scare us with.

Mmm purple.

A friend’s father bought a Maserati 3200 back in the late 90's. After he’d had if for a few months decided to turn the traction control off to see how squirrely it would be in the wet.

Spun the car a little over 180 degrees a block from the house.

I was told he said “that’s enough of that then” turned the traction…

What’s stopping you from buying health care in the private market then?

I certainly don’t. I’ve lived with the NHS for teh better part of a decade in Scotland and England.

Lol, they’re all Yankees as far as Texans are concerned.

“another male ego-friendly term”

You know if you were to ask me, I would say all those terms were made up by women, and 95% of the time are delivered in a way that is intended to be emasculating. Man purse, manpris etc.

I’ve had long hair for 5 distinct periods in my adult life, and about 6 months ago I came to work…

Every day. Not regularly, not often, every single fucking morning I cross the god damned street when I’m walking my dogs, I have to wait for assholes driving 35 40 or 50mph up the street (which is 25 for it’s entire length) as if the speed limit doesn’t take effect until after the sun comes up.

At least 5 times a week…

I remember in the early aughts my girlfriend going to community meetings and advocating that the hookers who plied their trade on the two blocks adjacent to our converted warehouse condos down on the waterfront be left alone. FFS it had been a port since the 12th or 13th century, the prozzies were so there first.

“They need to go somewhere else if they don’t like it.”

No way eh.

I’m in IT and let me assure you, printers are the bane of my existence. The problem is that the nearest printer to the place where your wifi connection peters out is going to present a problem.

You’re both right.

It’s almost like the wealth of the nation is being re-distributed upwards toward the top......

2 people, you and I, having taken the same ride, had divergent experiences.

Strangely unsuprising.

I have nothing but fond memories of the girls who would drive in from the outlying burgs to our slightly larger small town to party for the weekend. (presumably because we had a discotheque and listened to euro-trash synth pop)
