(likely some chemical concoction designed to make us feel "healthy" while doing the exact opposite...) along with whatever else
(I did a quick search online, though I couldn't quite track down a specific list of "ingredients"...)...

But isn't that essentially just describing meatloaf or bologna? 🤣
The current generation of kids was basically raised on that kind of processed fare, so what's the harm in a few Chicken Nuggets or some Crispy Pops? 🙂

☕

The third time's a charm.👋

Afrobeat? 🤔
Is it any wonder how many people have fallen under its spell lately? 🤷

Ford Transit, mopeds, vans, cargo vans, trucks, airplanes 🤷
Perhaps they even have bicycles tucked away somewhere 🤔

Could someone please compile a detailed inventory of these records? It is essential to specify the exact condition of both the vinyl and the sleeves. Please post the full list here; perhaps someone might reach out with a serious buyout offer. 🤷

It is quite difficult to assign any meaningful value to these items when they are presented so haphazardly.

James Long15 said:I have some old 45 RPM records from the former Yugoslavia era—is there any real value there? They date back to the 40s, 50s, and even older, covering all sorts of artists. Does anyone know if people actually collect these? I asked around at some local museums here in the States, and they mentioned that certain pieces might be valuable.

Which specific records are we talking about? Do you happen to have a list, even just a rough outline?

edit: because simply being old or originating from the former Yugoslavia doesn't automatically make them worth anything...

rapidnomad7 said:As the title implies, I have an "idea" for a new sub-forum within the literature section. I am certain that by the time I reached the word "literature," I had already lost half of you. I suspect I’ll lose the other half because this post exceeds two sentences in length—but since I am not discussing matters of grave importance, I shall, in my infinite generosity, forgive you all.

Pretentious and condescending intros just make people stop reading halfway through. 🧐

I actually like the idea, though. It would be great to kick off some threads about American literature (definitely focusing on more recent works 🙈), 🙂 provided we avoid excessive intellectualizing and academic nonsense, please. 🙂 I understand the temptation to slip into professional jargon, but if you avoid those traps, you'll end up with a solid sub-forum—or at least some decent threads within the main section. 🙏

Come on, upvote this so I can actually learn something about American literature. 🙏

Perhaps I might find myself with a few spare hours this afternoon🤷

quieteagle5 said:We are all internet dwellers, aren't we?..

No, absolutely not. 🙂
To qualify as a true netizen, one must present links to five or more genuinely interesting or bizarre websites... and I mean without simply scavenging from various news outlets, Reddit, or 9GAG. To do otherwise would be nothing short of cheating. 😳

Well, it appears you aren't exactly being frugal either, are you? 🙂🤣

bluewalker36 said:Socks on ice? What kind are we talking about here—thick, thin, right side out, or inside out?

Just your standard cotton ones, presumably the kind everyone owns ten pairs of that just sit gathering dust in the back of the closet.😬 A bit thicker than average (not those flimsy ankle socks, for heaven's sake), worn the normal way so the heavier fabric is what actually makes contact with the ice or snow...

It is far more cost-effective and practical to simply wrap some old socks around your shoes... sure, it looks absolutely ridiculous, but it works perfectly fine 🙏

toward a bright yellow toad👋

A little something regarding Nina Hagen :|

Jason Richardson5 said:Good grief, 🙏 🙏 🙏 does that actually exist?

Respect. 🙏

says buy me, I'm on sale 👋🤣

I suspect... Björk 🤔 🤷 has been performing with that particular apparatus lately...

reactable

where on earth have you wandered off to now, 🙂
?

boy

via Western Union 🥳

😬

Honestly, just send it through the mail as a standard package—just make sure you pack it securely. In my estimation, that would likely be your most cost-effective route (though I wouldn't go about it if you're looking for anything cheap 😬 in terms of security 🤷
). If, however, speed is your primary concern, you might want to look into what companies like FedEx or UPS have to say regarding their international shipping services within the US 🙂

Fey leads 👋

I certainly am!
Or perhaps I am not!
