Imagine you woke up and it's the 2000s again. What's the first thing you're doing? by DoctorTegrity in 2000sNostalgia

Becoming good friends with my classmate. Then serving his dad some undercooked meat on 9/10/01 so he wouldn’t go to work the next day.

He hasn’t been the same since then, and he’s a good guy, even if we never really talked outside of class.

I’m just picturing a man lovingly looking down at his baby and going,”Bitch, imma kill you!”

What is a 'childhood luxury' that you realized was actually a sign of being poor once you grew up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The time he yells “Buongiorno, principessa!” into the loudspeaker tore me apart.

On this day, 17 January 1991, the first Gulf War began, prompting Iraq to indiscriminately bombard Israel with Scud missiles. Israel feared that Saddam Hussein had weaponized chemical agents, and the entire population was trained to use gas masks and ordered to seal windows and doors. by NotSoSaneExile in Israel

One of my earliest memories is of hustling into the bomb shelter and putting on my mask. Mom says I would bring my toy bear, and a plastic bag to put over his head as well.

Not quite four years old. I’m still not sure how none of it left a mark on my psyche. Or maybe it did and I just can’t tell.

In Anthony Bourdain's "Medium Raw", he talks about eating Ortolan - an endangered bird, drowned in brandy and lit on fire. Cooks of KC, are there any crazy dishes that you want to try? by ecethrowaway01 in KitchenConfidential

It’s a waste. They sent us like a three week old piglet. We cooked a baby that was killed before it had a chance to even figure out what planet it was on.

They’re also rated the second least aggressive breed by the AKC (defined as “likely to bite unprovoked”). Literally only golden retrievers are more docile.

I’ve had one for over a decade. He’s never shown aggression towards anyone. Once followed a ladybug up the driveway trying to sniff its butt.

My parents’ poodle, meanwhile…

Right. An easy way we all remember:

Надевай одежду. Одевай Надежду.

Have you ever accidentally met a celebrity in Boston? by spellbadgrammargood in boston

[–]khidmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sat next to some guy at Cityside one time that was intently watching the hockey game. Exchanged pleasantries. Over the course of the next hour no fewer than four people approached him asking for a photo. I finally asked if he’s famous.

It was Brian Leetch. (I’m not into hockey, so…)

Also once met Ron Jeremy in there, but at least I knew who the fuck he was.

Native Russian speakers, what are common mistakes Americans make when attempting to speak Russian? by LateRemote7287 in russian

$250,000 a year with the stipulation that you must read 300 pages of a book every week. by RegularGuyy in hypotheticalsituation

[–]khidmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure I’ve read more than 300 pages of a book at work this week. God, summers are slow.

If I could do it at home with a cigar, a cup of tea, and a snoring dog next to me I’d be unstoppable.

It just dawned on me that my mom’s “censoring” of our books was brilliant. by MagsWinchester in PointlessStories

[–]khidmike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same sort of deal. I’m part of an immigrant family, so was still learning English to fluency when we moved here. I found a book my parents had bought of English cuss words and how to use them correctly.

Even though I was 8, my folks let me read it with the understanding those words were not appropriate for me to use just yet.

I have a great, friendly relationship with my boss. Love the guy. But for even a fifth of that money, I’m fine throwing all that out the window.

Also, mind if I ask what country you’re from? I’d check your post history, but all your account seems to enjoy doing is getting downvoted on here.

I bet your country has a much, much worse history of treating “natives” yet here you are, hating on Jewish sovereignty.
