Peniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii?

Ducks? Don't mention ducks.

I am from Aylesbury after all. :)

That's the chap! :thumb:

Aflac, is that you?

My buddy had a duck. It's name was Aflac.

Differentiating themselves from the "honest, frugal and hardworking" plumbers?:eyebrow:

I found a pack of really old walnuts in the pantry.

Some tugnut DHL driver just argued with me over the name of the street I live on.:eyebrow:

I told him he wanted the next street over and he asked "Are you sure? Cuz the sign at the end of this street says The Street He Wanted." The sign does not say The Street He Wanted, it says Another Street.

Me: "I've lived here off and on for 35 years, I'm pretty sure. And the sign at the end of this street says Another Street".

And then I watched him drive to a house on the exact opposite side of the block, go to the door w/a package, and then come back to his van without a package.

I guess I was right. Go figger.

Reminds me of a substitute teacher I had in high school. She was taking roll and when she came to me she mispronounced my last name. I said "Here" and corrected her mispronunciation. Then she said "are you sure?", completely serious.

I said, just as seriously, "It's my name, I'm pretty sure."

No-one ever says to Pologirl "hey I just noticed your eyes are different colors" ...they always say "Do you know..."

....and she is Pologirl again -just sent me this.... awwww

What a cool gal. Does she know her eyes...

When spelling out my surname which is spelled other than you would expect I had someone ask me if I was sure there's no "e" on the end. Yep.

Sent by magick

and they ask me if I'm sure there is (I'm posh) :lol:

:D I noticed after i posted that pic it's really clear in that one. I do love this pic :)

It's a really good picture.

I tell people they spell their names wrong all the time. Usually they laugh.

Never say, your mom spelled it wrong. That just pisses them off.

I could see that.:lol2:

OreIda might know a very little bit about french fries, but, they know absolutely fuck-all about tater tots.

Several years ago I swore them off. They were just terrible. I got another bag yesterday cuz it's all the store had, and they are just awful. Cooked 'em every way ya can cook a tater tot. Oven, deep fryer, I even thawed 'em, mashed 'em and cooked 'em in a skillet like hash browns. Maybe I should try over an open fire...

Just awful.

serving suggestion: Feed to animal (e.g. cow/chicken. Eat animal.

Someone had to be the first person to buy a 40 channel CB radio.

Everyone else was still on 9, 11, and 14. This guy had 37 channels of dead air to flip through at his leisure.

That's a lot CQing.

And, like you said, to nobody.

Nothing but chicken coops and Highway Patrol on 9, though.

The only thing worse than having no radio is having the only radio.

If someone else becomes President in 2020, will they call it corrected vision?

I loled.

There's not a lot of humor here anymore...

A Priest and a Rabbi are walking down the street when a 10-year-old boy passes by. The Priest says, "Wanna fuck him?" The Rabbi says, "Out of what?"

:::ring-ring::: Hello? Millennial Committee? We got a Cancellation here.

Oh my gawd, I lost it.

Can't take credit, that came out on a Artie Lange / Gilbert Gottfried podcast that happened recently. :D

3 minutes in

Artie's face belongs on Mt Rushmore.

Right above the words "Not even once."

I wonder just how much coke/horse/meth it takes to achieve that visage...

I tried one of those new apples the other evening...The Cosmic Crisp.

A very nice apple. Firm, sweet. Almost too firm. They're a cross between a Honeycrisp and an Enterprise (I think). One article I read said they'll keep for up to a year.

I sprinkled a little salt on it, it was very good.

Only Washington will be growing them, for the next 10 years anyway.

Your link says “ It is said to be the largest campaign in apple industry history,[15] and will include payments to social media influencers .”

How much are they paying you?

I'll never tell.

Sometimes the conversation gets confusing when people use different terms while thinking of the same thing. This should help with color.

Newbituary.

A portmanteau for a thread mourning a poster who jumped in with gusto and promise and then promptly disappeared.

My favorite portmanteau is Tryping.

I wonder if Harry and Meghan will be looking for mercenaries to help manage the tabloids. I could do some moonlighting.

He may have something there, right now times are good compared to earlier human history, and man is at his worst. :idea:

Dr appointment later. I think he's gonna let me outta bed.

:fingerx:

:concerned-face:

I've been graduated to the recliner.

Baby steps, I reckon.

I'm driving to the river this afternoon. Slowly, and as smoothly as I can. GOTTA get outta this house!

He didn't say which reclining seat, now that I think about it...:D

Whatever fate has befallen you, Mr G?

Perhaps you've already said and I've missed your post.

I fully understand that you might not wish to elaborate so, if that should be the case, my apologies.

No apologies needed, Kind Carruthers.

I'm just a little reticent in discussing medical/personal matters. I may discuss it at some point in the future.

It's looking like 2019 may be repeating itself, in part anyway. 2019 was NOT kind to the ol' Gravdigr. I've been to more doctors since early 2019 than in my previous 50 years combined.

Srsly.

ETA: Cabin fever is receiving top priority, atm. I mean, I love these ppl and all, but, we need a break from each other.

Glad you can still make it here...

Oh, I'll be annoying you ppl for a while yet...:D

Like the rest of us, it depends on the fickle finger of fate. :cool:

Thanks for the confidence.

The 'rents are watching Bob Hearts Abishola, and Marilu Henner is on there.

She's 67 yrs old.

Damn. I mean, DAYUM!!

She's still smokin' hot.

She was being raised about 3 miles from where I was being raised up until I was 11 years old. Even if I had met her back then; however, I wouldn't have had a chance with her. The 3 year age difference at that stage of life would've done me in.

But she would have remembered what day you met

I'm sympathetic to Gravdigr here; 2019 and early 2020 was a rough year for my own health -- major surgery and appreciable period of rehab. Way more X-rays the last sixty-eighty days than the whole rest of my life put together, along with the odd ultrasound, angiogram, and MRIs of everything short of my head. Whee. Followup appointment with my heart surgeon tomorrow a.m. That end of things actually looks pretty good from here, I hope.

Where The HELL Is Carmen Sandiego?

Who can limn the leopards' God?

I would love America to be great. I just think maybe I have a different definition of my great. In my great, America would be a country where you didn't need to be rich to get good healthcare and good education or afford healthy food, a country where those who are "differently talented" can still work an honest 40 hours in one job and make enough to live on. I'm fine with people being rich. I'm fine with wealth buying fancy houses, vacations, fast cars, meals in restaurants, luxury private rooms in hospitals, golden unicorns to piss on you to realign your chakras..... These are not life necessities, I'm ok with poorer people going without them. But when those who need help with their mental health are homeless and hungry and families have two parents working 2 or 3 part time jobs each to try and keep their family afloat but end up with no time to cook healthy meals even if they could afford the ingredients or eat together as a family ...the country they are in is not great. I'm not ok with that.

I know this is kind of political, but I'm not meaning/wanting to start a debate about it. I know it's naively stated and idealistic. I just wanted to say it because it's bugging the fuck out of me.

^^^What Monster Said^^^

fargon said it first, but I'm saying it again.

When we have more than we need, we shouldn't build a higher wall, we should build a bigger table. #postercaptionindiningroom

Sounds like a good goal to me. Everyone has a home to go to at night where they can sleep safely without hunger or sickness. A first world country.

Of course in a free country there will always be some who won't want that and if forced it's no longer a free country, but it sure would be nice if they were offered the choice.
