Doesn't the word 'tedious' come from the phrase 'te deus'? - or is it 'tedium' from 'te deum'?

I was born and raised in Montana and have lived in Seattle for almost 40 years and the only thing I know about 'hot cross buns' is Lust's offer in that old British movie about innocent schmuck caught in a contest between god and devil - I can see everything about the movie in my head but can't remember the title; heck…

Costco was selling a bucket of freeze-dried meals for $100 - I bought one and looked in it, definitely emergency only stuff.

Ask what led up to the clog before flushing with boiling water - if the clog is wax from a candle, boiling water is not the answer.

Yes, I have used chop sticks for several projects from replacing some missing metal pieces from Ikea shelf kits to holding broken desk legs together.

@Scentless: thanks for that - That story was in my mind when I posted but all I could remember was the bathing in blood part. I was not even sure if I mis-remembered a childhood nightmare or some of the bizarre reading of my youth (in high school I read through 3 complete encyclopediae from A-Z). What is it with…

Good! I need a cite so I can understand what the situation is, what the standard of measure is, et c.

If she is un-white, then we are talking any Eurasian south and east of Germany is un-white.

Okay, you were shocked, shocked that women could commit evil but if you are going to say that they were 'proven' to be worse than men - I have to ask "Do you have a cite?" because, I have to call "bullshit".

Which half of the gal are you snuggling up with (up with which you are snuggling? curse the dang latins that had their own word for infinitives and danged effete intellectuals who forced god-fearing 'mericans to care)? and which of the Spice Girls was Pumpkin?

Congratulations and all that but where did you hear that a quiver only holds 5 arrows? A quiver is a bag designed to hold projectiles - some quivers held short throwing spears - the only limit I know about is being able to take an arrow out one at a time.

The story is that the script is changed live with the writers specifically trying to 'break' Hader. Sometimes you can see him watching the changes come like a train-wreck (humer-break) that he can barely manage but the 'hiding behind his hands' is so Stefon that it works.

I shudder every time I remember how popular that book was. A book with that title was needed because no one was talking to anyone about sex and the 'the pill' was a game changer. He is still listed as "a physician, noted sex expert and author "

Pick up the grapefruit and shake it up and down a bit - it should feel heavy for its size (this means it is juicy). As said down-thread the skin should be smooth with no pores. Peel the grapefruit and split it in half. Using a sharp paring knife split and pull off the membrane, notice that you can easily pry the…

A bar of soap will do the same thing. I use it for wood-on-wood like windows and drawers - I showed the trick to my sister-in-law with her old kitchen drawers (who knew that even were metal built-in kitchen cabinets) on the farmette.

I remember opening a variable CD in the 80s - it was at about 12% at the Savings and Loan that was paying that. I paid for my vacation in Australia by regularly depositing my change (I never spend change - I sort it, wrap it, and take it in every couple months). But we all DO remember what happened to the Savings…

The movie 'Freaks' has a scene with a man who has no arms and no legs rolling, lighting, and smoking a cigarette - that is bad ass.

Dr. Reuben wrote a book called "everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask"; he recommended Coke douches as a form of b.c. - gives you an idea of what sorts of hacks could write a book about sex in 1969.

You remove the flap? You must not be a guy - or you don't worry about 'tapping' the bowl with it.?!

"MO MONEY" - interesting choice of names - there is a national income tax chain with that name that has been shut down for absconding with almost all their clients refunds this year.
