I think they used to call attractive women "Birds" back in the 20s. I think I'll start doing that again. Should be generally appreciated I would think...

Thanks for the proof read. Input like yours is critical in maintaining the standards of the Shoutbox.

This post has motivated me to create a lifetime animal inventory: I had a Shetland Sheepdog (Skip) when I was little, a miniature schnauzer (Scooter) ...

It sounds well within the range of standard English, without any clear indicator otherwise. If someone tried to write within a particular dialect (as ...

I'd agree with the brief assessment of . I really have no idea how that story motivated all this back and forth regarding ebonics. I didn't see any ra...

I have. You can read them here

You guys are throwing around a bunch of names in this British drama like I'm supposed to know what or who you're talking about. Can someone summarize ...

I just think she has a caricature high pitched hippy wail. I do know Joan Baez personally. We used to hang out in Greenwich Village in the 60s where w...

I can't stand Joan Baez.

So much talk of pale blue eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA3aKUwu-Dk If this song doesn't scream about being from the hood, I don't know what d...

Not sure what the train stops have, but your airport is filled with rats.

Typical boy meets girl love story. I was disappointed that an abortion scene wasn't worked in. That would have been topical.

I read and skimmed and then re-read and re-skimmed, which might not be the way I should have done it, but my attention span for science fiction is ver...

The government isn't a monolithic entity, but it's comprised of the same sort of ineptitude and gullible sorts that make up the general public, which ...

Seems there's a fireworks contest outside. Hope they run out of ammo before it gets late.

There are all sorts of irrelevant criteria they can discriminate with, but only some raise Constitutional concerns, and race is one of b them. That is...

Actually gender is subjective, so maybe I can say we're all gay women and they'd have no way to disprove it. Race is actually complicated if we try to...

You'd be amazed at what's actually occurring. I solicit business from major corporations and am told very directly that they need a certain percentage...

Telling someone his community's subservient lot in life is well deserved will not lead to societal harmony, regardless of how morally justified you th...

This requires an acceptance of some sort of illuminati that sets up the puppets on the strings and then watches as they half knowingly play out their ...

American racism has obviously affected many groups, so I don't want to diminish any group's suffering, but no where has it been more extensive than wi...

What is the replacement you allude to? This response seems too simplistic. You say the problem is old school.racists, but where is the evidence of tha...

So should we let the chips fall where they may, how do we explain to racial groups that go dramatically under-represented in some fields that the caus...

I don't doubt that's the case sometimes, but how does that apply to Asians? They can't be said to be advancing a meritocracy ideology in order to prot...

To anticipate the next posts. If you say his name is not not Fluffy, I'm going to say that means his name is Fluffy and then ask why you said his name...

I like the name not Fulffy. Down not Fluffy!

Thought it was well written and described many scenes you'd expect to see in old Western movies. It told the story of a child not yet up for grown up ...

I got stuck on the car loaning thing. That seemed like something either someone very naive (like a rural grandma) or someone of wealth might do. His r...

That's all I eat. I've got a bunch of chickens.

The Russian model weighs 800 pounds and it takes 4 hours per egg though.

I moved a couple of years ago and threw out tons of junk, saving my kids from having to go through my stuff one day when I died. I regret saving them ...

Funny you should say that. I have a weird obsession of keeping the counter clear of all gadgetry, but keep everything on a pantry shelf. Maybe it's co...

I learned of this marvel while wandering the halls of Target, purveyor of all things home and kitchen. You can find them on Amazon. They're under $20.

Egg steamer is the quickest easiest way, and we go through about two dozen eggs a week. /uploads/resized/files/v5/gavn8tkxd90o48lq.jpeg

Your dog's face looks like it's been blurred out to protect his identity.

What was the word you used to describe what you did to your soft eggs?

My son found this dog, and now it's his, but he says his girlfriend's mom often keeps it, which means I've been spared inherenting another animal. /up...

My thoughts: It was starved for details, which I'll assume was on purpose, leaving it a mystery why the guy did as he did. We know he had a job, but n...

I'd have given a total thumbs up on this post, but the regret of not being able to fuck your sister was a weird turn.

Funny you bring them up. They're doing fucking great. No kidding. Bloody wonderful.

Sorry! Got confused. Been tending the goats and lost my train of thought.

I guess the 3 bears story isn't for everyone.

Your bedtime story: Once upon a time, there were three bears, and you know the rest.

Yes, I sure can. I used to tell my boys stories before they went to sleep, but once in their 20s they lost interest and their girlfriends became annoy...

Think about how I log in to see if the stories are posted and then they're still not. How do you think that makes me feel? Would you still leave me ha...

If I make a complaint, it will only be because I lost, with some bullshit reason given so I won't have to accept defeat. Much like Trump, just honest ...
