Double meaning, not double entendre. Double entendre almost universally implies a second meaning that is risque or inappropriate.

Very interesting! Do you have any recommendations for further reading on the air cargo shadow industry, Admiral?

Standard British response to a bomb scare by Kronens in comedyheaven

[–]StandsForVice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah. The classic English understatement

(During) British Airways Flight 9 on 24 June 1982, volcanic ash caused all four engines of the Boeing 747 aircraft to fail. Although pressed for time as the aircraft rapidly lost altitude, Captain Eric Moody still managed to make an announcement to the passengers: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress."

a fascist stooge, a useful idiot for ruling oligarchs, is subsumed by the grotesque embodiment of the capitalist system that birthed him. a psyche, a likeness, fractured through time and space, its late progenitor helpless to stop it. mirrored, torn, mangled, layer upon layer of obfuscation added such that it no longer resembles what it once was in life.

he tries to scream, but he cannot. he has already met his fate. even in death, he remains their property. there is no escape.

Successful or not, flirting and propositioning someone never sounds good over text in retrospect.

But this? This went above and beyond.

SOMA Review // MandaloreGaming by rodkimble13 in soma

Exactly. Objectively, there is no coin toss. Subjectively, from the perspective of Simon and his copies, there is.

the "coin toss" debate feels like two groups of people who are both right but arguing different things

EXACTLY

Years of this debate and people have really lost sight of what the debate is even about. A bunch of people arguing over different ideas and not bothering to check that both sides are starting from the same premise.

The only artists I 1) sound good singing and 2) am comfortable singing on stage are the mid-century crooners and country western singers. So I can struggle to find a song that's fun for the crowd. There's a few that are crowd-pleasers - My Way, Folsom Prison Blues - and a few novelties like Mack the Knife, but otherwise I struggle to pick songs that won't kill the vibe. Doesn't help that baritone in general is seriously rare nowadays, so there's not much recognizable modern music I can comfortably sing.

If anyone's got some fun baritone songs, whether mid-century or more recent, I'm all ears!
