I know that I am an old (72) but BTS are really gender-benders; I kept trying to gender them while my brain told me it does not matter. I like their music and just let it go.

My mom had the ‘Martinet (pronounced martinay)‘; it was a thick leather belt my grandfather made - he cut the belt into strips and nailed it to a sawed-off broom stick. The leather strips were about 1/4th”X1/4th” and maybe 12 inches long. When I went off to college, I took it with me so it could not be passed down or…

Swamp coolers can only lower the temperature by 20 F meaning that when it is 113F out there, you get down to 93 - it is only a relief until your body realizes that it is effing 93F.

Yeah, I think French toast is the go-to meal for all occasions.

In the early 80s there was a pair of wines called Lazy Daze and Easy Nights - I drank the shit out of them.

I was fired ‘for cause’ many years ago but I challenged the claim denial, then challenged appeal and finally got to the top and they stated that my firing was incorrect and I qualified so I got a pretty big lump sum since it took a couple months to go through all that.

When I was in Raleigh for their hurricane, everyone bought bread, milk and eggs - it was like French toast was the go-to meal.

So, the last time I spoke with anyone about beer vs ales was 40 years ago when I ran a coffee co-op out my apt. selling coffee to a guy who made beer from pot and coffee - talk about a truly ascendant experience!! Anyway, I was dragging up old ideas we discussed which also included cold vs warm and other stuff. I have…

Aren’t ales also top-fermented? As opposed to lagers which are bottom-fermented? I forget which is which and am not sure if the distinction makes a difference in this context but....

Back in the 70s I had a friend who ate one potato chip and no more to disprove the slogan. I personally found that eating Stacey’s ‘simply naked’ chips have saved me from the thrall of the potato chip. I can get a handful and leave the rest of the bag for later; whereas, I can’t stop eating chips until the bag is…

Bull-effing-shit! I did not think I was abused growing up and here I am 60 years later trying to undo the damage. If someone is smashing your foot with a hammer, a broken finger doesn’t hurt much.

In Raleigh after a hurricane hit in ‘98, so many old trees were knocked down that portable lumber mills were booked solid for a year out to turn old family trees into useful lumber - everyone wanted a family heirloom made from the old trees.

My mother (French) eats cheese with mold on it - even the blue-green mold on cheddars. She is 95 years old and is really pissed that she is in lockdown - she wants to walk the halls.

Especially the one where the Hamms bear drives a truck that smashes the Olympia motorcycle.

This is how I cleaned the kitchen floor! I boil some water, pour it onto the already swept floor, then throw a towel down and scrub the floor with my feet.

Gotta go try that now, I keep all my pans on the cook top to hide all the accumulations but even I can see that I really need to clean that shit up - probably better to hire it done.

Hey! The ‘piss water’ has been soaked in stale cigarette butts, I’ll have you know; adds that burnt cork taste Seattleites love

“Two pieces of butt lint” - Gonna save that line for later use

It’s odd but you can read a lot into whether someone says ‘Jew’ or ‘Jewish’

Well said.
