Up early to watch USA basketball vs Czech Republic. And get some work done.
On Peacock. I guess I'll catch the highlights.
I’m going to be pie today.
Pie pie
Me oh my
Nothing says loving like a blueberry pie
Coious is a small island near Crete known for its superior cheeses, but people who marvel at Kraft American SLice would not necessarily know that.
I also picked up a honey lavender pie.
It’s a custard style pie. Very sweet!

yum, want some.
I'm back from NC btw.
They did whack a hobbit in LOTR, Gollum nee Smeagol. Stupid producers.
aimo - my mom says hi and very much appreciates you sending your greetings.
All I'll say is knitters get it done...
So, in theory, one can never have enough fresh garlic, right? Asking for a friend.
And in other news, if you microwave your russet potato for too long, you end up with a dried out husk. I guess the real lesson here is not to confuse your tiny Texas potatoes with the giant tubers you might get from Idaho.
I love Sunday elevensies!
Just as long as we don't hit asparagus.
This thread is going down the toilet.
Mowed on the bias today. I've been alternating mowing longwise and crosswise, so wanted to take a different angle. I will say this, it does slow you down if you have trees, etc. In the middle of the yard.
Did you know that the thing that detects "asparagus pee" is a smell gene?

And the thing that makes certain people despise the taste of cilantro (they say it tastes like soap) is a taste gene?

Okay, trying to use the pen with my tablet:

Detects, yes. But there may be differences in production, too.
Pluto is a flat planet. Fight me.
I don't know where else to post this but it must be posted.

Urban dictionary is your friend. Maybe not the polite friend that you invite over for dinner to dispel parental fears about your shenanigans. But a friend nonetheless.
That honey lavender pie is a nice little sweet bite with morning coffee.
(SIGH!) I was one of those friends. Used by a stoner to try and convince his parents he wasn't a stoner. But, hey, I got to go to a great pool party. My other used friends and I had a great time, while he and his stoner friends disappeared. To get stoned, of course.
And in other news from the 2022 Recruiting thread, Steven asks, "Who is Jumbo?"
Behind a paywall, but, I have found my favorite Olympian. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...ting-olympics/
Is there anything more First World Frustrating than when Amazon sends you a picture of your "delivered" package, and it's clearly not your house?
Ugh.
From Wiki...
...which really just complicates things, as far as I'm concerned. Nothing to see here, moving on...Quote:
Morissette said: "For me the great debate on whether what I was saying in 'Ironic' was ironic wasn't a traumatic debate. I'd always embraced the fact that every once in a while I'd be the malapropism queen. And when Glen and I were writing it, we definitely were not doggedly making sure that everything was technically ironic." In 2014, Michael Reid Roberts wrote a defense of the song for Salon, saying that it cites situational ironies: the "state of affairs or event[s] that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result". Michael Stevens of the YouTube channel Vsauce devoted time to the discussion of irony in the 2014 episode "Dord". In this video, Stevens considers the difference between the typically cited "situational" irony, versus "dramatic" irony. According to him, the irony of the song may not necessarily be in the situations themselves, but rather in the dramatic irony – when someone is unaware of the significance of the event while others are: the situations aren't ironic themselves, but life itself is ironic.
My husband's doctoral thesis research was done with atomic clocks, the highest precision timing devices in the world. He doesn't wear a watch and is never on time.
So what you're saying is that you'd like him to be more like his thesis...on time?
On a completely unrelated note, does anyone else ever wonder about the gender of people who post on DBR? Bostondevil is pretty much the only person I know is a female based on posts like this one, although I suppose from this post alone the author could be a man with a husband, but I digress. I know some of the other posters either personally or through DM so I know they're males, and some seem obvious by their names (like mine), but I pretty much work under the assumption everyone else is a male. I hope I'm wrong and there are women who post here other than Bostondevil, but if there are then I for one haven't been able to figure it out.
One time I got stuck next to my brother's annoying nephew, who was around 6 at the time, at a family dinner. He said to me several times in close succession, "You're a girl, because you have long hair."
After about the third time, I leaned in and used my quiet, seething teacher voice to tell him, "If you say that again, I'm gonna put you through that window."
He did not say that again.

Known females: me, DinK, weezie, aimo, DevilAlumna, CathyCA
Whenever someone is being a wanker on this forum - yes, it happens, but not in this thread (most of the time) - I assume the poster is male. I'd apologize for this bit of sexism, but having spent my life around males (2 brothers, 4 sons, no sisters or daughters), I have to say, you've earned it. ;)
For what it is worth, I identify as a wanker.
Q*Bert.
I made people really mad on the basketball thread. I was a wanker and I am a boy. Checks out.
Arkie, lawgrad91, and sometimes Sue post on CrazieTalk.
DevilInBlueDress, last I saw, was seen on Deeber. Same with BeerGoddess, AmusedCupcake, and LoveNinja.
Sadly, I have not seen any of these fine women over here in quite a while.
(There are few posters that know more about Duke football history than DiBD btw, and she had a great tailgate back in the somewhat recent day too. The hostess with the mostest. Saw her at the last home game I attended, always great to see her).
A group of perhaps 20 DBR folks met up at a Duke football (yes) tailgate in 1995 and we've stayed in touch ever since...with a few defections and additions of course. I remember Julio presiding with his gimmicky new 1MB digital camera.
Tripping William and I know each other through work, not from Duke. We were there at different times and he was in a grad program and I was an undergrad.
OPK and I have never met, but we figured out we were undergrads at the same time so we have a special bond. :o
Yeah, there was definitely jabs in there.
I was never clear on the Beer/LTE rivalry.
My wife is due in a few weeks and before that our pool project and electrical work is supposed to get done, we're having a new fridge delivered and installed, my wife wants to rearrange the basement work space, we're supposed to have a cabinet taken down and a new one put up...
...I keep asking her WHY do we have to do all this on the precipice of having a baby. She simply says, "This is the way."
I met some at the Alabama game tailgate. Met others before that when TillyGalore, CathyCA, DukePA, and I went to the beach - first time I met them. Have talked with Lavabe, Wilson,
and ArkieDukie on the phone. Lots of you are just my imaginary friends but I would like to meet you.
I had that shirt too. I think the comment came from the Washington Post in the slightly earlier 80’s before we got there, which led to Uncle Terry’s “Avuncular Letter.”
I enjoy Deeber, worth at least lurking and then joining if you are inclined. Same is also true for CB&B’s Crazie Talk, which has an excellent in-game chat room too.
We are lucky to have many good outlets, with DBR certainly being the largest and most active.
