I think simply knowing what the “F” is means you’re old and a nerd.

There does seem to be a lot of hushed discussion about hair extensions.

Named after Trump’s wig?

And South Central, where a Crisp is a dyslexic gangbanger.

Not all Draculas have castles, just Vampire because he was a Count.

Given up? I don’t know. I’ve been appalled pretty much non-stop since 2000, though. When we were taught history, the X’ers learned that the pendulum always swings back the other way. And when you looked back, the notion always kind of held water. But, draw a line from Nixon through Reagan, the Bushes, to Trump, and the conclusions you’ll draw are pretty grim.

There was an influential statement that was true in 1990 that was haunting, though: “The only presidential democracy with [more than 41 years] of constitutional continuity is the United States.” (I think there are around 5 others now between 40 and 70-something years old now.) Despite having a long run, this system isn’t particularly sturdy.

We’ll see, I guess.

“He’s coding! I need a red bull, cargo shorts, and quiet classic rock, stat!”

It’s singular, but (strangely) possessive. Like, O’Malley’s implies O’Malley’s Bar, this would be the restaurant that belongs to TGIF.

Encourage them to get married. It’ll put an end to that shit tout suite.

Meanwhile “War Pigs” is playing loudly in the back of my head.

I just saw an episode of 8oo10cdc where Suzy Dent specifically said these aren’t words. My money’s on Suzy.

:q!

M-x Ctrl-? Why?

What about Nightwish, hockey, and hydraulic presses?

Dead on - mid 1990s.

Post hoc ergo proper hoc.

I think HK Cantonese is aggressive in much the same way as Boston English is. Speaking HK Cantonese puts me in a whole different persona than speaking Beijing Mandarin. But I’m 1000x more competent in the latter.

A kid in my class put his arm inside a… I don’t remember if it was a lion or tiger cage back on the 70s before safety was a thing. Being armless isn’t the end, but I bet he regretted that decision.

I mean, if Harris loses, she might be headed to Jail as well, if I understand how enemy lists work.
