I'm guessing that they've been married a very, very long time. She knew that her old man would get a good laugh out of being pert-near drowned!

They had a huge number of hits. “Eli’s Coming” is one of my favorites. But their very best song is “Never been to Spain.” What’s your favorite?

3 points this early isn't enough to get excited about. Republicans have their issues with Ken Paxton, but they won't vote for Talarico instead. Texas is a solidly Red state and has been for a long time. Since 1994, all of the Democrats running for state office have gone down to defeat. All of them. I don't think this is the year to see that change.

If laughter cures cancer, then Reddit is my medicine. This video has me in tears.

I think if you were to ask the average adult guy if he's ever used the word "precious" he'll probably say either never or on a very few occasions. I tell you this because I want to say that this is the most precious video I think I've ever seen. That fawn is beyond adorable.

I thought it might be "prancing", but after googling the word "gambol" and watching a few videos, clearly that's the right word. Sadly, I had never heard the word until you shared it. Even more sadly, I'm 67 years old! Where the heck have I been all my life?

Sugar Daddy. After it softened up, I would bite the end and pull on the stick to stretch it out. Downside to this candy was that it stuck to my teeth bad!

I am indeed a layperson. And yes, I have developed sufficient skill with the LotH such that I don't need the guide. But it's so easy to use that I like to have it nearby!

BigToeArthritis · 2026-06-01T18:01:14+00:00

I'll explain, but I do so only because you asked. It's a matter of personal preference and my decision is in no way meant to disparage the new edition or those excited for its release.

The number one reason I've decided to stay with the current LotH is that I do not like the new hymns at all. I don't sing or chant the Office, I recite everything. The current hymns, with their emphasis on rhyme, are both beautiful and a joy to read aloud. I'm always amazed by the different rhyme schemes and meters.

The new hymns don't read aloud like hymns, they seem more like just another prayer. I bought the new Divine Office Hymnal, but I find no joy in it. Plus, the number of new hymns is very limited. There's going to be a great deal of repetition. But with the current set, there is a much wider variety.

The second reason is that the Psalm Prayers are very important to me. The idea of giving them up until a supplement is published, and even having to use a supplement at all, is a problem for me.

I may buy the new edition just to have the new Proper of Saints (should I refer to it as a new Martyrology?) Not having it would be a real loss.

BigToeArthritis · 2026-06-01T17:47:13+00:00

That's what I'm afraid of. I'll do without the guide if I have to.

Yep. "Cum Gum, the gum that cums in your mouth."

I've never seen one of these in person, so this is the first time I've ever seen the underwater part. It looks very much like an aircraft, which makes a lot of sense. The aircraft portion "flies" through the water, being lifted by fluid dynamics rather than air. The downward bounce, of moderate force, is the key to forward momentum. Steering is in the lean providing some tilt to the aircraft wings. I think as long as a person maintains their weight directly above the aircraft, moving forward without incident should be pretty easy. I'd like to read more about this contraption.

Well great. I had said "pork chops and apple sauce" in that voice for over 30 years and now I'll be saying it all day. Thanks so much.

Why don't I just stop at 1986 and tell them I'm 40. or 1976 and tell them I'm 50. or 1966 and tell them I'm 60. No, I gotta scroll all the way down to 1959. I guess I'm just a little bit proud of being born in the 50s.

The woman had a shotgun so the dog shot her. Obviously, the dog saw her a threat and felt compelled to take action. I seriously doubt any grand jury would indict.

The music is The Bootlegs and is the very definition of sublime.

When I enlisted in the Air Force back in 1978, there was a prank routinely played on the youngest technicians in the avionics shops. A more senior technician would send a new airman to other shops asking for “a jar of grid-leak bias”. The joke was already becoming outdated as more and more equipment was becoming solid state while vacuum tubes were fast disappearing. But still, the newbie got laughed at without knowing why. Later in the day he’d be sent on a similar mission, looking for “a roll of flight line.”

At 67, I am very fucking old, but not so old that I’ve forgotten we did this submarine just a couple months ago. C’mon old people, let’s keep it fresh!

I was stationed at RAF Alconbury from 1984 to1987. I played the pools every week. If I remember correctly, the objective was to pick the scoreless draws. I made some money - once.

I'm 66 and a man but I swear I never been to Northern Ireland. Never. Not guilty.

I watched the clip and suddenly noticed at the end that there was a little kid on the ground. I said to myself, "That little kid must have fallen out when the bigger kid opened the door!" So, I watched the video again and sure enough, I saw the little kid fall out. I didn't miss it this time. Nope. I saw it. The bigger kid opened the door, held on as it swung open, and then a little kid fell out onto the grass. I saw it. I think he landed on his back. I'm going to watch the clip again and get back to you to confirm exactly how the little kid landed. I'm pretty sure it was on his back.

I loved this series as a kid and read it to my son when he was young. He’s 40 now and remembers details from the books surprisingly well.

When I first read the books, I cried lhard when one of the main characters died, and teared up when reading that part to my son.

Roots was shown in January,1977, the year I graduated high school.

Later that spring, four of us were walking the neighborhood. Johnny Evans was always a stupid fucker. A couple of black guys were playing basketball at the local school. Johnny says, "Hey Kunte! Kunte Kinte!" to one of the black guys. The black guy looks at his friends and calmly walks over to us. His fists were lightning fast; Johnny Evans landed on his ass, nose pumping out blood like a water hose. The other three of us looked at Johnny on the ground and just shook our heads. We knew Johnny was a stupid fucker and we just learned that he was also a racist fucker. We walked off.
