Ricardo B (Peppermint Mocha Edition)

These are absolute gold. My all-time favorite garbled idiom is “albacore around your neck,” because of the mental image of a person wearing a tuna.

I definitely feel “calm as a cucumber” in my soul, though. there is a certain calming aura about the cururbit family IMO

It’s a slight mistake. They meant to name her Envoy to the Canadian Shield geological formation, and at the same time claim it for the U.S., like the “Gulf of America.”

Yes. And furthermore, this is the éminence grise behind one scheme to send people to a torture prison, and another scheme to carry out extrajudicial killings in international waters. This man, an arch-violator of human rights, has the absolute gall to inveigh against so-called “savages.”

On LinkedIn…what in the world is going on in his mind. (Maybe what’s not going on, if you catch my drift)

Maybe, from a cynical, but realistic standpoint, Tillis said “This is my time to make history. I’m retiring, let’s go wild, who cares. They’re gonna put this in history books.”

Where’s my DVD-R burner? I need to burn some ISO files of Debian. Wait, I guess we don’t use those anymore. Bootable install USB stick? That still a thing? Yeah.

It is, and no one else could have sung Bridge over Troubled Water quite like that.

Unreal how depraved this is. Entirely screwed up, evil - these people are doing this in *our* name like they have the authority to violate the inviolable and universal moral law by dint of a single narrow election result - it boggles the mind.

Those albums are foundational for me. I will say they sounded really excellent on their stadium tour supporting Green Day - we went to the show at American Family Field in Milwaukee. They played the hits, along with some new stuff that didn’t capture me but wasn’t awful.

…Yes, he is…messy.

“Yeah, this is just the first pallet of Nutter Butter. Still have three more to unload. Liftgate service is only to the curb, technically, but I can drop ‘em in the garage for you.”

Maximum disappointment. That’s a top-tier shelf-stable cookie, at least when the Nutter Butter is actually in the cookies.

Yep. They apparently think girls’ and young women’s loneliness or self-image issues/depression related to perceived inability to meet unreasonable societal beauty standards doesn’t merit the same treatment. For, uh, some reason 🤔

I agree on “(supposed).” I really don’t understand the constant emphasis on “male,” other than it being a controversial topic that gets clicks/eyeballs, and I think loneliness is a universal affliction now. Everybody’s lost these gathering places where we can meet people who might become friends.

Dracula should consider paying for his own dang weed. I know he has money. He has a job, at the…vampire store, I think. You know, the one that has vampire accessories. uh…capes, fang care products, coffin polish.

ok, not sure where I was going with this

Is Coldplay OK? Just a few bars of “Yellow,” I swear.

too many don’t want to accept that every participant has their own motivations and goals and there is no grand conspiracy, just a lot of people wielding power who don’t care about the human cost

One of those passages that’s so embedded in my mind, it’s quite simply part of my very being.

incredible timeline cleanse. majestic boy

What a delightful face!

The delightful taco pizza. It’s the taco sauce that truly completes the dish

I think it’s a straightforward description of the food, but we may need a less suggestive phrase to market them in the UK. “Unbound meat sandwich,” perhaps? Hmm. Probably needs more work.

I think perhaps 99% of sandwiches actually consumed in Iowa have a normal bread-to-filling ratio and can be held in the hand. It is a very sandwichy state, for sure.

(I admit I have a weakness for the enormous pork tenderloin, though.)

There are so many people with good and smart opinions and hilarious posts on this site, and yet there are so many awful posts that raise my blood pressure.

the rancorous primaries always suck, and I hate it

I think TV shows or video content (think YouTubers) are unique in being treated like a product more than a work of art. “This half-hour hunk of entertainment I was shipped stinks! Every time I ordered it before, it was awesome, but they messed with my favorite character! I demand a refund!”

he was in spirit. i carry a little piece of the grink in my heart wherever i go

Ah yes. We had a bit of a mouse problem with our Toyota Prius. It involved the wiring harness. The bill was over $2300, but it was covered by insurance, less the deductible. As were two bumper replacements due to raccoon and turkey impacts. Living in the country is fun.

everyone please roast me in the group chat for “most dangerously figures”
