PenguinLust: if the ultra-sound tech asks “Do you want to know the sex?” that means it is a boy - they can only know the sex at that stage if they see a penis.

Damn, again with the white man’s tears. Michael, your stories sometimes tear me up (pronounce that how you like).

The water in the bottle may be good but remember that the bottle is in the world and the world is covered in life - I would expect at least dust mites, fungal spores, and many other life forms are surviving on the outside of the bottle/can and in any cracks/crevices. At least wipe the bottle off before opening and…

Jesu-fucking-christo - every time I come here I end up in tears. There is nothing I can say but ACAB and I am sorry.

I first thought ‘Pink Panther’ for the first image, sigh.

I think they make a shotgun round that shoots a net - but it would only take out one or two - need skeet shooters, stat.

They also want immunity for the manufacturers so we get a rushed, untested vaccine that could kill or maim people but no one held liable - just WOW.

All gum matters

Is your avatar name a pun on German ‘Little death’?

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…
