“Damn! You do wonderful things for that dress.” But only if I have an available exit to walk away after. That one’s too forward for the actual elevator ride. Leave her an out, and also an opening.
The best German word is backfeifengezicht. It means: “a face in need of a slap/punch”
1·10 hours agoGreat quote. Better book. Written by “A True American Hero.”
131·10 hours agoJust an aside. I worked well over 20 years in food service as a second job. I don’t think “86” is a widespread term in food service, there are some of us that would know what you meant, but not many. If I had to guess, I would guess its origins were with the Trucking industry, specifically CB/shortwave radio operators since they abbreviated a TON of phrases with numbers.
4·22 hours agoI have a Green Jello cassette tape in storage. I wasn’t a huge fan, but I figured they wouldn’t be able to keep that name for too long. Three Little Pigs is a good jam tho.

2 × 10^37 according to the headline, but yeah.no, I miscounted.
One thing I forgot to mention, the thing that gave it away was it was cast out of aluminum, so it was really light. Probably worth a lot more these days, since this was about 16 years ago
I think that $20 decillion not only blows the GDP of the planet out of the water, it is also several orders of magnitude larger than the entire valuation of the entirety of the planet including the core.
Edit: looked it up, and the GDP of 2023 was just over $100 trillion.
Because of the period of hyperinflation, one day I had a boss unwittingly hand me $500. She bent down and said, “Ooh! Someone dropped a quarter! Wait this ain’t a quarter, what the heck is this?” She then handed me a 1934 500 Deutchmark coin. I told her what it was, and asked her if she wanted it. She said she wouldn’t know what to do with it, so after I sold it, I gave her $75 as a 15% finders fee.
Exactly. The last time I felt it necessary to clarify my sexuality, it was because some girl asked me if I would be good to take with her for clothes shopping. I replied that “while I am actually an excellent shopping companion, because I will find stuff that looks great on you, that you overlooked, to answer the question you very pointedly didn’t ask, no I’m not gay.”
The look on her face was, as MasterCard says, priceless. She was shocked that I knew what she was asking, and that I wasn’t at all offended. I think it was all the theater, choir, and swim team in high school, but I have pinged people’s gaydar since middle school, and I couldn’t care less, now that I’m big enough that they don’t bully me physically for it.
I don’t actually play, but I talk to the WH40K guys at my local hobby shop. I think the most expensive army I’ve encountered ran in the neighborhood of $1500. Apparently some single models can get upwards of $800+
Why do e bikes even have fenders? I’m not going off-road with the thing, and I cannot imagine trying to ride one where it actually rains, rather than pretends to rain.
IIRC somewhere over here someone offers Deep Fried Coke. I don’t know how one deep fries soda, and at this point I don’t want to ask.
Earth 2 had a better plot.

That explains it. I only knew the term because of a few of the old heads using it when I started in the mid '90s.
