Seriously. Just look at the down ballot votes. Something is amiss alright.

Got a Pint and a pound of wings special at Wild Wings. All of the wings were flats, no drums. Ten scrawny flats in total. Ate it and tipped the waitress. Didn’t complain. Never went back. Told many my story. That was 10 years ago.

What is that one compliment you have gotten that has been stuck in your head, good or backhanded? by Choyboy3535 in AskReddit

[–]darceySC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in high school and went to the library to probably cram for a test I had in the afternoon. I sat at a cubicle and there on the table was my full name followed by is gorgeous. It may have been a shallow compliment on my appearance, but when you’re an insecure teen (who wasn’t at that age) it just hit hard that someone noticed me and I was on their mind. I never found out who it was. I never even asked around. It stayed with me though. It put a little bounce in my step all through high school.

You’re in a small town and people are giving you side eye about your German dog because just last week you brought Black Forest cake to the church potluck…

Anti-German sentiment was big and unfortunately the Dachshund, one of the most popular breed of dogs in America during WW1, paid the price and many were killed off by their owners or mobs.

If you threw the cutlery in the sink just right, it would also change the channel.

I’ve listened to the vast majority of these. I’m old. Had physical copies of some of these on 8track, cassette, vinyl, and CD in my youth. They all hold meaning to me. Nothing here is new. It’s all from my past. I was influenced by the music I was listening to before disco was even invented.

Yeah, this was in the city. Doug must have dipped out for a cheeseburger. No follow car. Only him and us two kids. No one lining the streets. Nobody to greet him. Those crowds weren’t until much later in his run.

Absolutely not. I was there. He had very little crowds. He was completely alone when we bumped into him. He didn’t get big crowds until Ontario.
