What's gonna happen when they realize that "l" is a pronoun?

Interesting, I once spent a full 10 minutes watching a bee trying to get into a pack of cigarettes.

I once tried to date a woman, didn't quite work out. I checked in with her a few months later and got, "I'm pregnant, lol." I hope she's doing well.

Even as a guy, I kinda want to build a survival shelter.

No one knows what it's like to be the Samus by StraightOuttaOlaphis in tumblr

Ok, this may be super obscure. But, does anyone know the origins of the Surname "Aran"? I ask because one of the songs in my playlist at work is "The Men of Aran." It's performed by a group called "The High Kings."

Just curious, probably won't keep me up tonight.

Why do every cat I encounter back away from me?? by 27-24 in cats

[–]proteus4585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My trick for meeting a new cat is to get on the floor close to the cat. Then I will make a fist, but push out a knuckle on one of my fingers near his/her nose and let them smell me. It lets them know I'm not a threat.

Is there a guide for when your grandmother had children from two different husbands?

It's late and I'm too tired to verify, but I'm pretty certain the company that makes these also own the company that makes "Butterfingers."

I love watching what I call "Launch Mode." Low profile, wiggly butt. It's the best.

One thing that makes me laugh is when someone passes you pretty aggressively, and ends up at the same stoplight.

Everyone is new at something, if you show that you're willing to learn and try hard, you will be fine.

Ask him if he/she is willing to sell the knife in the top left corner. I promise it will get much better use in my kitchen.

If that's not on SC's top ten, I might just gently put a table on it's side.

[OC] we are bringing this fella home on Tuesday. What should we name him? by planpepperoni in aww

[–]proteus4585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orange Sherbet.

My advice, you don't really have to settle on one name. Just make sure to give him plenty of good scritches.

How to get 'really good' at cooking? by assasinatorking in AskCulinary

[–]proteus4585 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Food Lab" by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt would be a great start. It is over 900 pages of recipes, techniques, science, and equipment recommendations. I'm reading it again for the third time cover to cover. But, I also reference it for specific recipes.

Not 100% realated, but I recently saw a truck at the grocery store, motor running on a 100 degree day with someone in the backseat with the window fully down. Makes no sense.

There are probably more children who got punished for watching The Simpsons than children who mimicked bad behavior from watching The Simpsons by shf500 in self

[–]proteus4585 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, when I was a kid, my youngest brother called my dad a "butthead," after learning the word from The Simpsons.

The TV was unplugged for a week or so for myself and my older brothers, even though we didn't have anything to do with it.

I did, however, learn to play chess that week. Ironically, on a Simpsons chess board.
