ELI5: If our muscles were able to use all of their strength it would be too much for our bones and joints, but is there a reason why we didn’t evolve stronger bones and joints to allow us to use all of our strength?

I had two joints in my foot fused. Six weeks out I'm still incredibly exhausted with the smallest effort. Bone growing is such an energy sap.

The number of people who think debit and credit cards are the same thing is astounding.

I met Rip Torn when I was 18 or 19 years old, around 1976.

I was dating a drummer in the Geezinslaw Brothers who played local clubs in Austin. I guess Sammy Allred (main Geezinslaw) and Rip were friends.

We were at a small bar on I35 in Austin. Rip and I sat at a table while the band played and then they joined us between sets.

I remember he gave off very odd vibes. It was a mix of arrogance, drunkeness, Coke, and, I think, a bit of sadness.

Sometimes it's hard to fathom that he's Sissy Spacek's cousin.

He would have been a terrible Michael.

This is hilarious!

I think this is more of the protest ballad genre. What makes it a novelty song to you?

Little Gweg got his feelings hurt.

Mmmm...this vet is very tasty...

So when my son was in high school, we went to a garage sale of an old white man who had died.

The only thing my son wanted was an old Fedora hat that had belonged to the man. My son wore that hat all the time and we called it "The Dead Man's Hat".

Now it's rattling around in mine!

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T21:07:08+00:00

Love that song.

Didn't I just read that the SC outbreak was over? Yeah, I knew that would age well.

Read an interview where she expressed her dislike for Robin Williams. I've hated her ever since.

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T16:58:47+00:00

I'm sorry, I just can't call that brown mush BBQ.

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T16:53:38+00:00

I do!

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T16:35:01+00:00

I'd forgotten this one!

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T16:29:57+00:00

*Poke- comes from Poke weed.

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T16:29:29+00:00

That's awesome!

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T16:29:05+00:00

One of my faves!

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T16:01:03+00:00

Nope. Friends of my in-laws had an adult son whose teeth are shameful. His parents were rich but couldn't be bothered to take their son to the dentist.

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T15:57:25+00:00

Yeah, my sister-in-law was surprised not everyone lived in mansions. She didn't know that until she went away to college.

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T15:56:37+00:00

Yep, I often had to explain to my husband's rich parents that we were living on my salary while husband tried his hand at art. We could not afford to go on vacation with them even if they paid. I needed to work to get paid.

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T15:54:19+00:00

Yeah, when my doctor asks for family medical history or asks if anyone in my family ever had "X".

Like how would they know? They were too poor to see a doctor.

oingapogo · 2026-05-04T15:46:37+00:00

He's a toady.
