I also managed to run over the cord when I was mowing a friend’s lawn. I’m usually not that incompetent, but Christ, dealing with a cord is just more hassle than it’s worth.

Yum! Although, I do remember during medieval french lit classes that one writer was comparing the object of his affection’s boobs to walnuts...

I think it would be awesome if they held an exhibition match for charity! Maybe have a serious set or two, but then do some skill based challenges, or play mixed doubles with some upcoming talent or something, or do a mixed double Roger/Serena vs Venus/Andy Murray, Roger having to play with a pregnancy belly. I…

My deodorant (not antiperspirant) is basically a scented alcohol spray. That shit works WAY better than an antiperspirant stick. I also found that with a stick, my clothes picked up a funk from the residue.

It took me a few days of driving to get really comfortable with the iDrive, but it’s so easy, especially since you have the physical feedback with the clicky movement and sound. It’s right there by the gear shift, I don’t have to reach around anywhere, I don’t get finger smudges or screen glare at night. I honestly…

Dude looks into camera and goes: “I’ve always been more into ‘cats’ anyway” [wink wink at the camera CATS= LADIES GEDDIT? har har wink wink]

Mwahaha mwahahahahahahaha! *twirls moustache*

The elusive thing that never happened between 3.x and 95 because i don’t remember os names from over 20 years ago!

Preach. It’s disappointing to see so many jalops not getting this. They’re usually good people. But try walking a mile in our shoes before dismissing us as overly sensitive harpies.

I think that was relatively fancy though. We got internet in 96ish or so and I don’t feel like we were in the majority. Also, 90s dial-up is such a far cry from what we have today. It was soooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooow. Now I’m wondering whether we should just give them dial-up and and old Windows 93…

Omg nooooooo. Did no one even say the name aloud before going to print?? HOW

Seconding the Panache/Freya recommendations! If you happen to be in Portland (Oregon variety), there’s a store called the Pencil Test which I follow online (I just love the name) which seems to have a good selection.

Wait, that actually happens?

Ha! I feel the same way, but about the mercs! I really dislike the interior layout. It’s just so subjective. Not a huge fan of Bmw’s new ones though... I have a 2010 3 series and love her to bits. That generation feels nice and solid on the inside too.

I remember the first time I saw an X6. I was definitely one of those crazy pills/what is happeniiiiing moments. And then MB put out a similar monstrosity. Who buys these things???

When they introduced the 6er convertible I was like ooooooohhhh, so pretty. It seemed to fill an actual gap. And then the 2er minivan seemed sensible and plugged that B class gap (and they’ve turned out to be super popular here). But then they unleashed a torrent of 2s, 4s and 6s, and it’s just like, are you sure…

We did a bit of armchair diagnosing and it was the rice that done it (in the library with the candlestick). All of us had the rest of the food to share, but I had this particular rice dish to myself. Tbh, whatever it was, it was horrendous. I’ve managed to dodge food poisoning pretty successfully during my adult…

In my addled state, I decided to eat some dried apricots on day 1 (I guess they were within reach or something). That was NOT a good idea, unsurprisingly. Day after was salty pretzels. Better idea.

So Magnet-o, like rhymes with Cornetto? I dunno whether that’s an improvement on Magneto rhymes with neat-o.

It was super weird, but the doc was like “eh, it happens”. I had no idea this was a thing until she diagnosed it. I just thought I had bad luck and caught some ear thing on top of it.
