My brother lives in Australia and occasionally smokes. $47.99 for a pack of Marlboro. Compare that with Russia, where a pack of Marlboro is 190? = $1....

I identified with Raskolnikov when I read Crime and Punishment at the age of nineteen, and that alerted me to some problems with my personality, where...

Name brands are for chumps and putzes.

It's true, Lidl supplies everything a human being needs.

Me too. It's as if time stands still and allows you to contemplate the world unhindered. https://youtu.be/Gy3BOmvLf2w?feature=shared

Sorry to hear that Javier. In my experience Carrefour is crap, but I hope and pray that your experience is better than mine was.

Leonardo didn't do that but it was done later on. I always thought it was Dali but it turns out it was Duchamp, the rascal. https://upload.wikimedia.o...

So is a waffle.

My favourite German sausages are the Nuremberg sausage (Nürnberger Bratwurst) and Weisswurst (served with a pretzel and sweet mustard).

Women! :roll:

Flounder DESTROYED!

I still think CGI never really captures magical talking flounders convincingly.

Yes, I took the comparison the other way and accused Hanover of being a flounder, based on accusations he has received to the effect that he flounders...

I don’t find the idea of a techno-optimistic religion either realistic or enticing, but I’m glad you started this discussion, because it prompted me t...

Yes, and they’re among the very few asymmetrical vertebrates. For clarity I think that would have to be “less-fat cunts,” with the all-important hyphe...

I found this on the website of the Feodosia fish museum in Crimea: https://m-fish.ru/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/nemeckaya-kambala-2.jpg

Fewer fat cunts :razz:

At the Ukrainian restaurant the other day, I did what I usually do: instead of deciphering the menu, I used my phone to look at the restaurant’s page ...

I later realized that the recipe calls for one cup of tuna, not one can. But since I refuse to get my head around American measurements, I don’t know ...

One can of tuna between four people and only one waffle each. I thought 1950s America was a time of prosperity.

Indeed. I dip crab sticks in my coffee any time of day.

You guys are talking about eating food from the floor, but I’m talking about eating food off, or off of, the floor. Using the floor instead of the cum...

In Scotland we say floorsome.

I don't eat off the floor, but only because I've got a bad knee and find it difficult to squat, crouch, bend, or descend.

Bloody millennials.

Most people with an eccentric preference probably feel the same. The fact is that people are lazy so they don’t bother. But the original issue was abo...

I don’t know what you mean ND. What’s digging for info got to do with the varieties of Brit? EDIT: It’s either that I’m bad at conversation and thus f...

That’s one of the defining characteristics, yes.

Scottish, Welsh, and English people are all British, but only one of the three groups is English.

Ok, I’ll try responding again, this time earnestly: thanks ND and it’s all cool :cool:

What? Oh that. I’d forgotten all about it. Totally haven’t been seething with resentment for the last few fucking months. Ok ND, I agree to be friends...

I said I don’t remember it, not that I didn’t like it. :zip:

Au contraire! I enjoyed the story; thanks for keeping us updated. What made the story good is what made things bad for you: the return of the bats. I ...

Yes. I think it's fair enough for us to keep the Shoutbox off the web. The important content we want the search engines to notice is in other threads.

You’re a shit haggler. No, you keep it. In a safe, perhaps.

This is interesting, obscure, and either agreeable or disagreeable. :up: I’m speeding along a different road right now, but Bateson now appears slight...

Fred!

Yes, but I thought I'd share the knowledge anyway, since that's what the Shoutbox is for. We are trying to grow a gestalt intelligence, or collective ...

The Americans went with the Irish spelling because of all the Irish folk who emigrated to the US. There are theories as to why the Irish changed from ...

I disagree. No, but I’ll try anything once.

Actually I like it. Laphroaig had the following in their advertising some years ago: You can keep your Jack Daniels thanks. Not for me. Sorry America.

No it’s the alternative name for Laphroaig.

So long as it doesn’t taste of Dettol.

Incidentally, I found many scholarly papers that look at Ballard’s work in terms of Bateson or otherwise somehow combine them.
