It is a huge problem if it breaks and drops on a passing boat, or while people are leaning against it. It’s a hazard.

Living and working in a tourist destination is a pain in the ass. Tourist season in DC - GAHH. They wander into streets to take pictures, clog up Metro escalators, their stupid and terrible tour buses block roads, urgh.

Oh ew you walked barefoot in London. Time to chop your feet off...;)

The intersection where Sun Studios is located in Memphis is a notorious place for tourists to get hit by oncoming traffic. A better idea is to just buy one of the many available photos/ postcards/ placards, etc. of Sun Studios. But I guess then it wouldn’t be on a mobile phone, for facebook bragging. Agree, never go…

Stuff like this always reminds me of the time when I went to London. I wanted to visit Abbey Road and did and saw all the messages written on the gates outside and then thought, you know, why don’t I take my shoes off and walk across the road.

iirc they didn’t cause part of the bridge to collapse, they caused the fencing to collapse which is not as big a deal (still a problem but not a huge problem).
idc though, I’ve got no horse in this race and if they want to make it so that people can’t do them anymore whatevs.

I’ve never had them fried, but I have eaten pan-sauteed brussels sprouts and enjoyed them. They are also good oven-roasted.

To this I say: first, if you don’t go to sleep like a good boy/girl, Lovecraftian monsters that hunt in the halls outside your bedroom at night will steal you and gift you unto the maw of madness

Great. Another way for the police to selectively arrest minorities.

...my feelings towards the List have soured.

Apparently, Australia felt that the wildlife wasn’t scary enough anymore.

You could put “lists of things trying to kill you in Australia” under the latter. At least it’s trying to help.

*moves pizza from “Things In Australia Not Trying To Kill You” list to “Things In Australia Trying To Kill You” list*

Every single one

*cough*

Huh? I think we’re in agreement. I’m saying that the people who hold this attitude of “if we pay fast food workers shit wages they’ll be motivated to get an education and get REAL jobs” would piss their pants if that actually happened in reality, because an already insanely competitive job market would be even MORE…

Because I am tired and feverish, I read the headline, but then in the first paragraph was completely confused because Mark Twain could not possibly have worked at McDonald’s. I should probably go to bed now.

I..j...wha...glargle blorp chickenface.

Yus, My Maria is a Brooks & Dunn song (and a damn good one, too). I dunno why Paul Hemmingway brought it up as it has nothing to do with Shanaia.

“My Maria” is a fantastic song.
