When I was a kid, mama would make me a cold tuna birthday cake with coconut icing. I couldn't wait to blow out the candles and get a slice with a big ...

My tooth hurts like a mother fucker. I'm going to have to find a dentist that will drill a hole in my face to release the evil spirits. My plate of le...

And it makes no sense other than to find a way to give it a separate entry in the World Cup. If the US did that, we could have 50 mediocre disappointi...

Set us up a blitz game so that I can do away with this complaint of yours. We need to set up a tournament. I'm sure a bunch of us play chess here cons...

The iron dome proved ineffective though from the recent attacks. But anyway, think about the concept of having to protect your life daily from incomin...

We've changed the conversation. My question was what you would do if you were Israel, and you've said you'd die the death you deserve. I got my answer...

We're getting too deep in this metaphor, so maybe spell out what everything represents the way you're presenting it. I think I'm assigning different e...

No, Hamas had no plans just to return to business as usual after having let off some steam. Israel's show of force and dismantling of Hamas is part of...

Even if the analogy were apt (although I disagree with the characterization), your response is on the absurd side. Drawing it out a bit further: You h...

Anachronism alert! WW2 occurred after Prohibition, so the reference above should not have been to WW3. Just realized that. :blush:

I just came up what I consider a 7 on the cleverometer. I see Pickles Mulkahey at the light post. I says to Pickles, "hey pickles, I hear you're stepp...

I ate a whole norange pumpkin is grammatically equivalent to saying I ate a whole nother pumpkin if you can smell the shit I'm stepping in.

I read that tearing off the mold on old bread doesn't make it edible because there are still spores in it. I just read that right now after I wrote it...

That'd be your response to your attacks? Seems like you'll be taking in heavy casualties while your dismantling and running elections.

Proportionality is generally associated with retributivism and Kant, where the objective is punishment for the sake of punishment and it should be pro...

It does seem more brunchish than breakfastish, not so much because of the type of protein, but because of the sheer volume. Praxis no doubt owes his i...

But now I must contend with pictures posted by the underclass.
October 24, 2023 at 12:19
This is like the IRS giving hints on how to cheat on your taxes.

Picture?

The point here is that the Arab nations have been expelling Jews from "their" land historically and during modern times. That clear case of apartheid ...

Whole nother means doing something for an entirely different reason, like a got a whole nother reason for eating green beans. Most people do it becaus...

In 1948, about 80,000 Jews lived in Egypt, in 2016, it was 6. In Iran, in 1948, there were 140,000 to 150,000, in 2019, 8,300. There are 0 in Jordan. ...

Embedded in its name is its optimistic attitude, the land where its citizens can do whatever they set their minds to, replacing its former pessimistic...

I need to talk about this because this is where Americans (once again) are right. The word "another" is unusual in that it combines the article with t...

I see what you're saying, heretofore.

HOLD THE PHONE!! Guys, sorry for the all caps, but I needed to grab your attention. My interweb research has just uncovered some otherfolks who strugg...

They make grapejuice I think. The Scotch make tape and the English make muffins. The Irish make cream.

It apparently includes goose fat: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmaltz It's Yiddish. Ashkenazi food, used as a spread like butter by my grandparen...

You might be right. I've not seen how it goes from farm to table, so I might have mixed up the two. Belly porridge is definitely from clear origins th...

I consider "vegetable oil" to be a catch all, including all oils like lard, schmaltz, and other animal fats.
October 21, 2023 at 19:00
Irish butter references the semen from an Irishman. Moving forward, I suspect some may change their shopping habits now that they know. Maybe not thou...

Speaking of which, where is he? I'm standing atop Fred, looking out into the distance, facing north from where he hails,, yet I see no @"T Clark".

I mean, sure, it is universal, up to a point. The Eskimos don't say it, nor do the aborigines, but most do. I think we should debate this more, up to ...

I used to rabitly be opposed to ketchup, but now I like it on fries. I used to say to my brother things like "I'm going to be late if I don't get ther...

Sure, but he gets to choose how to respond to his choices. If he wants to smoke and not set aside money for his treatment, he gets to die. That's his ...

My grandpa chewed on cigars instead of smoking them because he thought that was safer. It might have been, but he'd died of lung cancer before he coul...

You call someone who wants mandated government health insurance with premiums based upon personal risk factors a libertarian?
October 20, 2023 at 22:24
Are Marlboro a premium brand, or is that what they all go for? I've never smoked, but I'm inclined to start, knowing what respect I'd get with those h...

A couple of things: "Up to a point" is standard ole talk, not particularly delish. Legislating morality is a thing, and it works, else you'd be reject...

I don't think so, but If Bush, Kasich, Christie, Pence, and Trump are all Republicans, I'm not sure what it means to be a Republican.

I get a chicken biscuit and tea at chick fil a for around $5 or $6, but my main expense is that I have a stack of $20 bills I keep by the toilet to wi...

Those prices are super cheap. I'd eat every meal there. Three hotdogs for $10. I'd drop $100 and pack my fridge full. Wife would do backflips. She lov...

I like a street dog with a cup of year old dog broth. Sometimes I buy a sack of honey nuts and I try to do the math of how many sacks the guy will hav...

I love a good roller dog and drawer bun. You should have taken the plunge, even given it a good double squirt of neon cheese product.

I just saw one in my parking lot, and according to Wiki, there are only 6 of them nationwide. The door actually opens straight up. I saw the people ge...

October 19, 2023 at 18:26
I looked outside in my parking lot, and, no lie, I saw the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile. That sort of synchronicity doesn't happen all the time and I felt...

It's called an eggplant. I don't like Lidl. It doesn't have any name brands, the selection is limited, and it feels like a warehouse. I prefer Kroger,...
