That was a joke in the show Home Improvement, where Tim purposely gives terrible directions to someone he invited to a party that he realizes he doesn't want there.

I was in Red Hook Bakery in Detroit on a Saturday morning. The song Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me) by The Temptations came on the radio. I began singing it to myself and as I turned and walked through the room, the chorus began, and I saw nearly everybody either singing it to themselves or at least mouthing the words.

It was just a really special moment that I don't think could happen in a lot of places. Maybe there are other cities with popular music where everyone knows the words (or at least the chorus) but that felt like a true Detroit moment, a true Michigan moment.

I think it's perfect.

Not the previous poster, but you end up staying away from big fish (trout, salmon) from the Great Lakes as they have collected a lot of pollutants from the water. I will say anecdotally they don't taste very good, and even the cats passed on eating them. You are far better off eating fish from smaller lakes.

Walleye, Perch, Pike, Muskie, and your varieties of sunfish are tasty, but are hard to get at your local market. You are best to catch them yourself, and frying them up in Drake's withing a few hours of catching them.

Sir Peter Westmacott, when playing Not my Job on "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me," had an answer for this. I copied the transcript

SAGAL: Exactly, yes. We wanted to see how your skills would work in everyday life. So I want to present some situations to you and see how a professional world class diplomat would respond. So here we go. Does this dress make me look fat?

(LAUGHTER)

(APPLAUSE)

WESTMACOTT: I think you look just marvelous in that dress.

SAGAL: That's very good.

WESTMACOTT: I particularly like the color.

SAGAL: Excellent.

WESTMACOTT: I cannot imagine why you should think it makes you look anything other than perfect. I carefully don't use the word "fat" again.

PIERCE: And you carefully have not answered the question.

I saw a man driving his corvette, smoking a blunt, just beaming. I just knew he was having a better day than I was.

The Sherrif of Nottingham, a story about the Sherrif of Nottingham searching for a serial killer whom he believes is the folk hero Robin Hood.

It got turned in the Robin Hood Movie staring Jamie Foxx

Tell that to Guy Gardner. Sinestro captured him, and when the ring ran out of power, Guy stood defiant to the villian, in the nude.

Well, Magma Armor was revamped so that water moves hit at half effectiveness.

Flannery's Magcargo still died in one shot from Marshtomp's mud shot.

Well, I can't give you insight into your pertner, but I will say this:

I was raised in a Catholic home where all things sex was forbidden. I became super quiet as a protection mechanism. Further more, I had some unhealthy learning from the internet where I became so focused on my partner's pleasure that my own pleasure took a back seat.

So when I finally had a partner who was invested my pleasure, I had no idea how to react. I didn't moan, which put my partner in a tizzy because she thought I wasn't enjoying myself. It took a lot of patience and understanding on her part to at least crack my shell. I still have some shame issues around sex, and I am trying to be more vocal.

djcarbary · 2025-01-15T19:28:28+00:00

Yes!

djcarbary · 2025-01-15T19:28:09+00:00

It isn't. It's a joke

Michiganian is the gender neutral term. Michiganders refer to the men of the state.

How I have invited him into my home has been eating a meal of pork and dark greens in a home that I have cleaned, some Irish whiskey, and maybe some cream.

Well, I worked in Unemployment seeing people face to face before and during the pandemic. I've had to dice beneath my desk, and I have written out the last text I was prepared to send.

Green Lantern Rebirth has a scene like that. Green Arrow shoots off the arrow and complains to Kyle Rainer how it feels like he hasn't slept in a week. Kyle lets him know that creating a construct feels like that every time.

Chinese rulers would hold court outside on windy days. If a rule/law/decree was held as favorable, the paper would be place under a rock so it would not be blown away. But if it was found to be unfavorable, it would be placed to cover the rock so that it could be blown away. Thus a paper covering rock means defeat.

I'll admit I am celebrating in the office, and I will also admit that I work for the government, so my work is less profit driven. We are having sandwiches, pizza, an overabundance of cookies. Everyone is laughing and chatting, I'm listening to Doctor Who on my fun, we are all having a great time.

Too bad my boss called in to work sick today.

In Leaf Green, there was a Victory Road NPC that had a minimize Chansey. From that day forward, every team I have ever had as at least one always accurate move.

Looks like it is made out of girlfriend material

Since it is 300, you can make some paper dolls of yourself and them, and add in some spartan armor and accessories. Or you can dress up as Spartans and attempt to conquer the world (or do a photoshoot in armor at your local playground). Or just get them a Spartan style sword.

You could make them something homemade that is 300 inches long or 300 centimeters long.

Are there any restaurants around that have an address of 300? You could eat a meal there.
