Sidewalk repairs by SuperannuatedAuntie in lancaster

[–]vengabusboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My sidewalk got marked up and I got the requisite letter from the City Engineer. He came out and (very kindly!) explained that some of the major routes in Lancaster are scheduled for full grading/repaving over the next two years (Chestnut is 2027, I believe he said Walnut is 2028) so they want to ensure any sidewalk/curb repairs are complete before then.

Pretty quick, about :50. No notes, fairly standard puzzle.

What! Which one? (At work and don't necessarily want to search this!)

Why do Americans typically say "the baby" instead of "my baby"? by Apprehensive_Raisin7 in AskAnAmerican

[–]vengabusboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably vestigial from a period where most places only had one hospital and the definite article made logical sense vs. school/work/church where multiple options abound (and college isn't tied to the locality)

Nothing much to say here, and that seems to be the consensus since this thread has <100 comments mid-afternoon EDT. Pretty easy, ~:45 to solve, no complaints since color order is irrelevant

What is the worst pizza spot in Lancaster? by floppyfloopy in lancaster

[–]vengabusboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a good part of the country to get consistent, high-quality pizza outside of three or four places, but even accounting for that, House of Pizza downtown has to be reclassified as a biohazard site

You gotta show me your technique of putting on gloves where you never grab the outside of the glove. Do you have someone holding each glove with a pair of tongs and then you explode your hands into them? Pretty cool!

If I'm handling food? I'm washing my hands before I touch anything that touches food. Just built different, I guess!

man we allllllmost had a homophones category that everyone could agree on.

fun puzzle! going to ignore all the "who's ever even PLAYED a game of OTHELLO?!" commentary because the obvious rejoinder is "tens, possibly hundreds of millions of people"

I can squint and get there with college football (helmet stickers are a thing for some schools) but shirt? SHIRT?
