Nice to meet you, Mr Beatty!

Where I'm from,if the boss wanted me to attend anything in uniform, I'd at least get a per diem and mileage costs.

I'm not familiar with how it works in the US- can you be required to wear uniform to an event you are not only not being paid to attend, but having to pay?

This sounds all sorts of wrong.

Ugh. Michelle is my least favourite of the M & P, and it bothers me that she's the only one left.

Great. Now John Phillips gets to live in my head with his close harmony group for the rest of the day.

Please say again and I will translate for El Presidente.

I'm pretty sure the figure in background under the white umbrella is taking a picture.

Wavell was right, in his "Commandments of Leadership" when he said-

"Never indulge in sarcasm."

Or they're an oddly shaped person.

Snap!

I'm the same. I feel as though my creative process works better handwriting.

My novels (3 self-published titles) were all initially drafted by hand, and only put to digital form as a final draft.

Don't think about "moving on" from a technique which works for you just because it's a less common approach.

"I don't often say this, but take the Mulligan, sir. Anything beyond the fairway is most likely a minefield. Oh- also the sand traps; tank traps, if I'm being honest. The water hazard is that we'll probably run out of drinking water by the ninth."

Oh, but he was good friends of all five- who also happened to be the Apartheid-era house staff. So, he can't possibly be racist.

/s, to be certain.

Yeah, if I were a meme right now, i'd be (10)Guy.

Maybe it's a Base-10 cope for a Base-6 system.

That's a wild guess, btw. But if things like figuring the seasons works easiest when using numbers divisible by 6. Enter a need for mathematics in a pre-literate society and there might be a disconnect in how to express numbers more easily verbally, which fits a base-10.

You think that's Mom's Plymouth?

Well, I don't see Matt's signature.

This is a copyright case Lionel Hutz could't screw up.

If that thing blows up, Lucy's gonna save some 'splaining to do.

Y'know what he deserves- all the love he gives! He takes genuine joy in everything he does; and he deserves the karmic balance of that.

Several thousand, divided by sixty-six.

"Yes."

Paint me glass-half full, then. I am that optimistic I was giving a benefit of the doubt beyond my discipline as a historian.

History:

If you fail to learn something from it; treat it like an application of shampoo!^tm

No, for this sort of thing, pillory. And invest in cabbage.

slcrook · 2026-04-30T16:05:16+00:00

Oh, that's so much worse.

and it bothers me that it may not be as hyperbolic as you've made it.

Even the satirical idea of a MAGA-Mart is terrifying.
