  1. Bet it won't come to that.
  2. I dunno. I don't read Japanese. So prolly.
  3. Was at an art/book/whatever show and one vendor there was reselling Japanese snacks with flavors only found in Japan for a crazy markup, like 20 bucks for a bag of chips. I have no doubt that there is someone who would pay what you ask for a Japanese thingamabob.
  4. Aw come on. As if you could do anything with a British pound. What ya gonna do, put on your Peeky Blinders flat cap, slide in all subtle into The Crown and Anchor, say "Ey oop Govnah" and give em the knowing wink that means you'll have a pint of the old Minkspunk Royal Stout? As if they have time for your play-acting? How do you even think up these bizarre scenarios, you twisted freak?
  5. Your kid does not party.
  6. Family Ties was an underrated show.
  7. Servants of Baal?
  8. Because you puttin out ho vibes.
  9. I learned, while sitting in Dr. Southern's classes at the University of Texas, probably while drinking a big-ass coffee to irrigate the Vietnamese street cart food in my stomach obtained next to the fountain, that "Fuck" is an ancient Indo-European root with the general sense of hit it again. The Germanic F and K sounds shifted from an earlier P and G, retained by most other branches like Latin, see pugnacious, pugilism. So if some politician doesn't like "fuck," that just tells me that they are against a basic Western European concept without which there'd be no Beowulf, no Chaucer, no Shakespeare nor General Hospital, because there wouldn't have been any fucking babies to grow up and read or write plays or poems or TV shows. Talk about your Replacement Theory, might as well sterilize the actors and film crews while we're at it. I get that Dan Patrick has freely chosen the path of eunuchhood, and I applaud his happiness. That doesn't mean he gets to cut the dicks off innocent Texas schoolchildren. That is just wrong.
  10. ^^^ Found the Hot Watch fence.
  11. VI-eena sausage marinated in purified water. Vodka would probably count as purified water.
  12. All I know is that I will be cancer-stable for 9 more days. Then I have another CT scan, and maybe it does all kinds of fun new stunts. But until that exact time, I ain't worried. After they determined that all the calls were coming from inside the house, ie it was my medicine causing goofy numbers and agitation, I have gotten lots better in a few weeks. Watery bloat all gone, weakness is just a memory. Went from hiding in bed to going on multi-day international sales trips, if Georgia counts as a different country.
  13. Weird MF status is real, but it's not something you can buy.
  14. I prefer MR. fucking cunt, sir.
  15. I remember mocking anybody who'd buy gold back when it was $300/oz, and again when it was still under $800. But that's one of the mildest missed financial opportunities I ever made, all told. Now I just watch it go up. Never occurs to me to sell, because I don't have a specific goal in mind so I know I'd just fritter away the cash.
  16. Reminds me of when I found out a great great uncle had been a senator in the late 1800s/early 1900s. I was somewhat puffed up with my own non-achievement by this connection. Eventually I ran across a book of his speeches. The first one I saw was where he was arguing that poor children should not be forced to attend school when they could be of more use working in the fields. I put the book back up. Congrats, I guess, to anybody who is catching up to 1906 Alabama.
  17. archaic a swelling of any kind.
  18. PET scan was the shit. Like flicking on the light and seeing exactly where the roaches were. And where they weren't. A bonus was that the place where I got mine played soothing music and showed beautiful scenery kinda like they do in the movie when they make somebody into Soylent Green. But seriously, PET scans are great.
  19. Just read that article. What amazed me was the passive acceptance from top to bottom, like something out of Faulkner circa 1925. I bet there is a whole chunk of the town where they get multiple stern warnings then sent home to Daddy because of who they are.
  20. Just got back from a working trip to Savannah. Had time the first night to go look around some downtown, would like to come back on a real vacation. The Palace Diner on Abercorn was my late night hangout. For breakfast, the McDonald's on Eisenhower near the armory had a higher level of professionalism compared to others.
  21. Had an "almost" breack-through moment* today in the Gaelic Zoom meeting out of Aberdeen. I have been playing catch-up in most classes, and today was harder than most with low blood sugar or somesuch. But at one point I just said OK and I quit trying and zoned out. The teacher's talking in Gaelic with one student who's better than average, and as they chatted, it suddenly hit me that I understood most of what they were talking about. That didn't suck. *"Walking through the wall" is what I call it when you think that two people have switched into English, then you realize it's not English, it's the language you were struggling with except suddenly it's clear as a bell. It happened to me once in Mexico and once in France, after a few months in each place. Only happened when it snuck up on me and the language was going in the background.
  22. I remember pissing coagulated gobbets of blood back in 2018. Looked like bloody sinuses rindy-snot-strings flying out my dick. I was just gonna wait for it to clear up, but my wife had her own ideas so I went and wasted some $ at the doc in the box. Sure, sure, massive kidney tumor. But if I hadn't gone, I would have saved us a shitload of money.
  23. Billy Ross [LastName] seems like a somewhat Oklahoman name.
  24. I imagine that most of us are slackers compered to people even 100 years ago.
