Cancer Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 If a cross-street is to a street as a cross-dresser is to a dresser, then it must be something like the landing zone on a sinking aircraft carrier painted in 1960s psychedelic anamorphic loud color patterns.

Cancer Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hitting the "Random article" button repeatedly in Wikipedia will give lots of annoying little stubs on footballers and music albums and train stations and obscure little districts in Asia or Africa. And occasionally a real gem, a substantial article on something of actual importance that you'd never heard if before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 So we ended up eating the whole bowl, just the two of us. Don't worry though, we took some Imodium before our 3 hour linedancing lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Three truckloads of stuff hauled to the transfer station. Back fence replaced. Roof demossed. Hedge severely hacked back. A little overzealousness in trimming other stuff, and they underbid the job. Still wondering if it's too good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
