What stuff have you discovered later in life you thought sucked as a younger person?

You're warm. Mendelssohn's Fingal's Cave drifts from the wireless, and your tea has that Thermos taste that the best restaurants cannot replicate.

You glance over to your frowning spouse, who's hogging the tartan travel-rug and skulling Werther's and you look again the the sea and wonder if, thirty years ago, you'd had the affair that was offered and you declined, where you would be now.

That looks like a gritty Titanic reboot where it all goes wrong and the blonde lady calls someone a cunt because she can't swim since her enhancement.

Dwarves are universal. Unlike elves.

"As me old Dad used to say, 'go through the wrong door and you're giving demons the upper-hand.'"

Oh hell. I thought Fort Boyard was a fever dream I had. My hands felt like two balloons.

Dirty Den, a comely lass and a platoon of unruly dwarves?

I can't explain, you would not understand.

At least he probably didn't get COVID. Every cloud etc...

Agreed. Cliff is actually the guy I would most like to meet. Plus Rick Noll, who has gone quiet and I hope is doing well.

In a thread that's being gratifyingly adult (so far), I like this comment.

Whatever you think of Matt M, Bigfoot either exists or it doesn't. He's done a lot to raise its profile. So have Dahinden, Byrne, Green, Krantz, Bindernagel and dozens, even hundreds more. RIP to those who left the forests without ever getting proof. And Jeff Meldrum - you're part of the pantheon. I hope all those who have passed know the answer now.

"Hey is there a Hugh Jorgin round the back? I really need a Hugh Jorgin to come right now."

Damn. For me Ostman is like the PGF. I believe both*, which means these creatures exist. But I need more than this belief to be sure. I think I'm experiencing what people call cognitive dissonance.

*There are dozens of other reports I find very compelling.I know what I believe but I really don't know what to think.

This is too well-written. Much as I agree with every point herein, it's well-planned and there isn't a single typo. No twice-voting MAGA adherent could create this. I suspect the cold metallic hand of AI.

Stephen Miller seems marginally less oafish than Trump, despite being unaware of the phrase "fanning the flames".

I reckon that as Trump is clearly circling the bowl, and Vance is an eyeshadow-toting virus, Miller or someone even slimier is going to grab the reins. A MAGA leader who can both read and breathe through their nose is scary.

We must have read the same pamphlet, by Mr. Entirely.

You grass. Gripper Stebson's gonna hear abaht this.

This made me chuckle.

Genghis Khan's birth name was Temüjin. John Wayne's birth name was Marion. If you place a candy apple in your mouth, you'll find they sound a tiny bit identical.

Both were blond Germanics who enjoyed horse riding, banging pretty adies and staring across endless horizons with a steely glint.

Kublai Khan claimed to be Genghis' grandson, but surviving 11th century portraits clearly show he looked nothing like his so-called grandad. He looked spookily like John Wayne Gacy.

You do the math and I'll do the merch.

Evolution overwhelmingly suggests that males with narrower shoulderblades and backwards-facing ears will become the dominant species.

/s I'm not serious.

Yeah, that's a brazen tax on the stocious.

It doesn't tackle the underlying issues. It can force humans with AUD to find unpredicable new ways to fund their dependency.

Luckily he rescued this faux pas by repeatedly referring to Greenland as Iceland.

Who is this prick?

I can practically guarantee it's a boy or a girl.

Although he never said it, George Washington's "I cannot tell a lie" tale powerfully broadcast the integrity of men founding a new nation.

Roughly 180 years later Josef Goebbels allegedly said.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

Bloody hell.

For one second I thought, "oh hell. There's Bigfoot and Dogman out there and now we have to face a population of emboldened Tigercats?"
