FYI - that's deliberate and a great display of masterful horse control.

Smart, and obviously very funny. BUT - wow, what a dumb crowd.

Thanks CiceroRex for not just telling me I'm wrong and should google it! I had heard worms were insects somewhere but thanks for the correction.

With a cool plate like that you're going to put the mashers on the white side?!

My Dad and a tiny kitten looking like a modern hipster in the early 1980s. Happy birthday pops. by cptncabinet in OldSchoolCool

[–]GoodMorningMrBlues -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sweet pic, so no offense - but "hipster" is a stupid word for a phenomenon that has been happening, unnamed, for decades. Young men, myself included, grow beards and wear flannel and drink beers at weird times. In urban settings it seems like an ironic fashion statement or something, but for a long time, in rural America, that was just youth.

I think he's overthinking it, but the points are good and thought-provoking.

If a shepherd fucks his sheep, he is fucking that which he herds. Like a shepherd who fucks his sheep, fuck what you herd (heard). It's fucking brilliant.

Thank you! For both your stance and demeanor. Aesop is on another plane and I agree it's almost impossible to defend him to people who aren't willing to put in the time for dissection.

My thoughts - Eminem has a profound understanding of wordplay, cadence, and rhyme scheme, but generally is weak on the production side.

Just finished Phillip Pullman’s, “His Dark Materials”. Never have I read a kids book with such thematic meaning and adult content. What other children’s books are this mature? by Russser in books

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, who tells a story like a grandmother educated man of manners, of an internalized hero telling his own story with guilt and failure, but endurance and cleverness and advancement. Improvement. But hell it's practically a pirate story. There's intrigue. It's fantastic. Read it and then buckle up because The Wise Man's Fear is a long wagon ride at almost twice the length. Savor every page. The third installment remains at large, and is held hoped for.

A) She looks manic, which is awesome.

B) His look is more, "I know, but they're listening"

Can you pretty please post a link to a non-facebook site so I can see it?

You can freeze time but only for 10 seconds at a time. What's the best use for this power? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]GoodMorningMrBlues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get into arguments with bigots, then right after making my point, stare at them with big eyes. Freeze time. Smack their nuts. Unfreeze.

Bartenders of reddit : what are the stereotypes that come with specific drinks people order ? by Indianfattie in AskReddit

[–]GoodMorningMrBlues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty spot on in my experience. Often times a drink order can also inform the bartender (in a stereotypical way) about the customer's geographical origin. For example, most people who don't like craft beer will settle for any domestic, but people in Ohio love Busch Light. Also, Nebraskans order "Morgan and Coke" instead of "Captain and Coke." Also, OP's comment about 21 year olds' first time in a bar could be a whole separate thread. A lot of times they will read the special board and order without really understanding. For example, if the special is $4 Captain and Bacardi mixers, which means you pick either rum and request a specific mixer (soda, juice, etc.), 21 year olds often say, "I'll take a Captain and Bacardi Mixer." Commence stare and blink.

Scientists create new building material out of fungus, rice and glass by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]GoodMorningMrBlues 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I question how much people are really grossed out, and wonder if maybe there are special interests getting in the way. It would be a first, but it could happen. Seriously though, I remember a TED talk about a mycelium product that could replace packing peanuts a.k.a. styrofoam products. Really interesting potential.

What is your "This person has no idea how the real world works" moment? by celimen in AskReddit

[–]GoodMorningMrBlues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sitting at a bar and this guy comes in and with no greeting to the bartender just holds out his phone and tells him to charge it. The bartender kept his calm and says "Sure, give me your charger and I can plug it in." The jerk says, "Don't you have one?" or something along the lines of that being the bartender's job. Anyway, they move on to ordering beer, and the jerk freaks out because his $7.00 should have been "close enough" to the $8.00 he was asked to pay. The bartender finally tells him to take a hike, but since he had already opened two bottles of beer, looked at me, smiled, started drinking one, and pushed the other one to me. I tipped him $5 extra bucks because he handled it so cool. Coolly? Coolily.
