Cheese. Beef Jerky. Peanuts. Dried cherries. Wine. Peanuts. Wine. 😃

It's a great feeling, ain't it?

Do you have a favorite starting word?

My younger brother's continued survival is a mystery to me. Guardian angels on multiple shifts as far as I know.

"Stew Purist" is a thing I never thought I'd hear, but it would make a great button to hand assholes before walking away.

Kudos to Native Plant Guy for freezing when you said Stop.

My parents were sitting on opposite sides of a campfire when Mom said, "Tom, don't move." Dad jerked around in his chair and said, "What? What?" really loudly, nearly pulling the pin on the skunk grenade that had walked up behind him.

You want vintage? Wait until your *daughter's* favorite band goes on their we're-middle-aged-and-out-of-money reunion tour.

Aluminum pole sales are apparently rising among Yankees fans, no doubt because of the high strength-to-weight ratio. I wonder what it portends.

The Brown food group is the best: bread, Coke, Pepsi, beef stew, Malteasers, fried chicken, peanut butter, chocolate,...

Abandon hope, for thy tongue hast descended from the unlawful congress of many languages.

My Russian teacher told us that when he started learning English, "First they give me book. Was thick book. They say it was list of exceptions to rules."

I've been waiting for this for sooo long. I wish them well.

Fair enough. I grew up in Rapture country and one of 'em scammed his own church out of about $8 million in a Ponzi Scheme for Jesus. After that, I started thinking of them as marks in search of their next fleecing.

Now you've gone and made me learn another new word. 😊

They claim that they aren't running a scam, but so do most religions.

Very cool! I knew that over-rich fuel could cool an airplane engine, but I hadn't thought about how it might affect a land speed record.

Same for A Christmas Carol. I read it every year, but when I tried Dickens' Big Stuff, it was indigestible.

People loathe [a certain writer/ director] now for being a sex pest, but his DVD commentaries on cutting scenes that don't serve the story are still my guides.

My best friend in the whole wide world had a little sister like that.

I tried to read the The Old Curiosity Shop, but when Dickens wrote a whole paragraph about the plucky boy taking a single bite of meat, my brain split into two factions: A) Charlie's being paid by the word, and B) I'm bored. Both factions won and Charlie went back to the library.

Apparently Misco produced three toys with the same base, but with different bodies on top--nascarish, pickup, and wankpanzer. The only online retailer I found selling them doesn't even allow a choice of flavor. I think you're right about the end of the grinder. "Toys and sausages."

I never knew that about eagles. Their cry sounds like a mouse begging for its life as a cat holds it over a blender.

Oh, the horror.

Rock Bottom looks like he's gunning for Jerry Springer's old spot in the American Consciousness.
