It’ll be the exact same vibe on Saturday 🙄 and a party isn't about the venue, it's about the people. 😛 Forget the planning.

Let's all hit up Spank this Friday for the show.

It's part of the birthday celebrations. 🙂

You think you'll actually be sober by then?

@David Sullivan4/">@@David Sullivan4 - 😲 dude. 🙄

č.i.k. said:The strategy is simple. Just smash all those clumsy side effects straight into an erect ORGAN. Attack them with the most primitive communication possible. Insult them until their stunted imaginations can't even dream of catching up after three centuries of evolution. Knock them down one by one without exception, then position yourself on a pantheon so untouchable that the guy in charge (ME, obviously) is barely visible at the ankles—basically hovering right near God and Bogmet.

Fakingrockandroll, you’d almost need to clench your fist and make a sign just to make those partisan words sound right when spoken aloud. My dear colleague and editor Anthony would probably promote wisdom once again, peering over his glasses and muttering, "How can you even..." He’d be right, too. But adrenaline is a vicious ally when your adrenal glands start overproducing.

I’ve personally made it my mission to stir up contempt and drag people through the mud on any Forum I’ve had the pleasure of tearing down by locking threads and insulting everyone individually.

It doesn't bother me that he thinks he's smarter than everyone else—he's certainly not the first or the last to think that. What bothers me is that he isn't even bothered by his own behavior, or the fact that it's absolutely terrible. He actually enjoyed it.

I’d be doing some serious thinking if taking an evolutionary step backward, like he describes in that first paragraph, gave me as much pleasure as he claims it does in the second and third. Pathetic, sad, sick, and miserable.

😲 😲That’s YOU!!!! 🙂

No, just Maroons. Mmm. Maroons.

Mmm.

Make sure Daniel Bailey7 isn't spreading that emo street propaganda to decent folks, you hear me?? 😁

Anyway, have you managed to get away yet?

I don't think so. Honestly, my neighbor knows more about what's going on than I do. It feels like my family has completely forgotten I exist. 😁. Maybe they'll reach out eventually 😁

Whatever. No, not yet. Things are still pretty tense.

Here’s a few tracks for this fall transition—nothing depressing here, at least not for me.

idols - dok dobuje kiša
notwist - off the rail (the prettier version)
my morning jacket - golden
john cale - taking it all away (yeah, it misses the mark in spots... but still)
carter usm - my defeatist attitude (that intro is incredible)
against me! - cavalier eternel
national - looking for astronauts

I was listening to that last night, so she’s just copying me 😬 😬 yeah.

The absolute worst music to have playing during sex
1. Anything by those local kid choirs or any group of children singing
2. Mexican punk Christmas carols
3. Sigur Ros (okay, that’s actually on the list of things that aren't bad)
4. Patriotic anthems
5. Live mud

Nope, it's French. Short for 😁

Nicholas King62 said:Good grief, 🤣

She definitely used plenty of those old-school regionalisms—since they lived in New Orleans for quite a while—but I’ve forgotten most of them. I should ask my mom; she probably remembers some even funnier ones.

1. thimble
2. rolling pin
3. feather boa
4. nah, attic
5. matting (specifically that white border between a photo and its frame)

We both sound just like Sandra Chase16 when we talk about our grandmas.

My grandma’s top 5 favorite words:
1. flour
2. lasagna noodles
3. meatloaf
4. soufflé (okay, maybe I love the actual dish more than the word itself, but nothing beats my grandma's homemade version)
5. matting

boldscout72 🙂 said:1. A psych cabinet (that's what people call that wardrobe in the bedroom with the mirror and shelves underneath—I haven't heard anyone else use that term, though..)

Well, that's what my folks call them. And we actually 😁 have one in our cabin and another one right in the hallway outside the bedroom 😁.

Adam Mendoza8 is a guy 😁 😁

What?

hollowseal33 said:I agree some terms need "translating" (like spaghetti), but there’s no need to change "sandwich" given its origins. End of discussion.🙂

Oh, thank God. You work at the Merriam-Webster headquarters, so clearly you get to decide which words stick and which ones don't. You're basically the boss of how the American language lives and breathes.

If I had to pick, Chick-fil-A is my absolute favorite... the people in this photo are hilarious.

And one more thing. 😁

Dead Carrot said:5. that stupid Italian term for flatbread

ciabatta 😁 😁

One of my absolute favorite finds from www.engrish.com (just a random list here)
