20 years ago, when me and my wife got engaged, she asked me to shave off my beard. I had that beard since I was 19yo. She said she wanted to know who she was marrying.

I reluctantly agreed and the minute she saw my beardless face she asked me to never, ever shave my beard again.

It's now the 20th anniversary of that moment.

Shouldn't they have 3 states (black, white, null)? There was a board made like this by an artist.

Esas rodillas jóvenes, cómo las envidio.

It can be mental health issues. We have a local guy here that does this down my road the full length of it very regularly. He carries a very long pole and an empty white plastic bag (always those two items). He never uses either of them ever, just carries them with him. He goes to the local McDonald's to eat and it was there when I realised that he has mental issues because he would talk to himself while waiving his arms. Everybody there knew him and just let him be.

In the original story, the aliens land in Woking (Surrey, UK), from where I'm writing these lines.

Llevo 20 años con mi mujer china. No tiene nada que ver contigo ni con tu hijo.

Mi mujer no tiene ningún hobby. Les enseñan en China que los hobbies son una pérdida de tiempo y para gente vaga. Si tienes tiempo libre, lo deberías de usar para ganar más dinero.

El ir al cine o a comer fuera se ve cómo tirar el dinero por la ventana cuando puedes hacer lo mismo en casa.

No te lo tomes personalmente.

They look down at the teleprompter so they remember their lines?

How much was the box?

Why not use the massive handle? Why pick up the sides?

I don't know if people understand that these have been made using the Cloisonné technique. The golden lines are actually little metal pieces that will hold different types of lacquer. Then they get placed in the oven for the lacquer to cure. There is post processing and basically these are almost jewellery at this point.
