How insulting must it have been for the first laugh?
Gina Szanboti replied to Sawdamizer's topic in Free-For-All
I quoted the part I meant to respond to. The rest of your context is irrelevant. Ooh, earthquake! Let's see where it was... Looks like Tonopah, NV, 6.4. -

I didn't say she was laughing at a nut punch. You just said junk-related. Anyway, junk-related or not, I still don't know why you all assume the first person to laugh at anything was a man. Women laugh all the time when men aren't looking. Hell, it's just as likely the first laugh was at something stupid/cute a baby did, and who's most likely to have seen that? -

Kroger did their whole $2/hr Heroes Bonus after they got shamed into it, and then bragged about it in their ads, which they are still running...even though they've now said "Welp, that's enough heroing shit, forget that $2 after Saturday." While their CEO just got a 21 million dollar bonus. The median pay for Kroger grocery workers in 2019 was $26,790. Also too, the ratio of Kroger's CEO's annual total compensation to that of their median employee for fiscal 2019 was 789 to 1." Oh, these uncertain times, however will Kroger's execs make it through? Fire sale on yachts, I suppose. If that makes you feel like you'd like to shop elsewhere, note that Kroger's also owns Ralph's, Fred Meyers, and a bunch of other local chains around the country, so watch out for snakes!

Really? You say "thee mall"? The main difference in usage between the two that I've heard is that it's a schwa sound (thuh) when it precedes a word that starts with a consonant, and it's a long e (thee) when it comes before a vowel sound (not just a vowel, like one (wun)). So "I'm at thee alehouse, you know, thuh one at thee end of thuh street." The only other time I hear people use long-e the before a consonant is if they're really emphasizing a specific thing or person. "Slim Shady? You mean The Slim Shady? Not those other Slim Shadys?" or "He thinks he's The Greatest Writer ever."

Probably true. I'm just not sure why y'all are so sure it was a man doing the laughing. -
Cause that's the main thing everyone remembers about Houdini - his eternally boyish looks.

Hey y'all what do I put on a wedding registry?
Gina Szanboti replied to SwimModSponges's topic in Free-For-All
I think she knows... You got a new coffee pot, do you have a good coffee grinder so you can buy beans in bulk? Pre-ground is always too fine, and the in-store grinders are usually disgusting. Canning gear (jars, lids, pressure cooker)? That could come in handy shortly, if you don't have it already. Any tools you've longed for? I see no reason why hardware should not be wedding gifts. -
I legit think my house might be haunted

Turns out everybody hates his stupid face. I never used to wish death or even beatings on anyone no matter how much I hated them, but the honest truth is that this administration and all the fuckwits in it and supporting it have pushed me over the edge. They've robbed me of my faith in everything, even the basic laws of physics and biology. At the very least, if I can't have guillotines, I want some tar and feathering.

Those teeth really need a shoe shine... I bet she rubs her pearls on them to make sure they're real.

Still waiting. Tried that IRS page to find out the eta, but I just get a message saying I'm not authorized to be on that page and some error code I can't find anywhere. So I have no idea why I'm locked out. I better get it in another month or I'm camping out on their doorstep.

I'm picking the low hanging fruit, because I keep seeing this gif and it truly does make me wanna punch a dick. And his faithful droopy dog Barrbarr: and his wannabe cabana boy: On the religious huckabeesters front: the man who inspired all the lizardmen conspiracy theories (bet you're waiting for his forked tongue to flicker out, huh) And the Blue Man himself, the original Silver Butthole Surfer (apologies for the Blue Man Group, Silver Surfer and Butthole Surfers libelz)

You people and your fancy pants powdered wheat seeds. Makin' scoooones and paaancakes and mememememeeeead, like you're the Queens of bloody Olde England. Before long you'll all be wearing woad. ::sits alone in the dark, cradling a half-full jar of yeast as dormant as a ten year old 17-year locust with nowhere to go:: Shhh, there, there, it'll be ok. Who's a good little fungus? You're a good little fungus! You're all good little fungi! And maybe in another 7 years, you and all your thousands of brothers and sisters can come out and go swimming and eat all the sugary treats you want until you can't stop burping and you'll play for hours in grain dust that drifts down like a soft, warm blanket of snow. Won't that be a day! ::pats the lid, soothing and quietly rocks and rocks::

I saw one along a similar line of thought the other day: euthanism -- a typo that utterly kills the point you were trying to make.

I pronounce the H if I'm saying "pay homage (HOM idj)" but I don't if I'm saying something is an homage (oh MAHZH - like in garage).

I don't know a lot about him, but yes, he's a stand-up comedian, and this is satire (though he plucks a lot of his material from actual comments he's seen online), in the Stephen Colbert vein. He's got a bunch of videos out like this, but I haven't seen any of them yet. But I agree that the Poe is strong with this one.

I'm not sure I get the connection between how we pronounce these words and telling the Virgin Mary she's gonna have a Baby Jesus. Would she have refused if Gabriel had failed to enunciate properly? ANT WAH dur LAN kuss tur for the English city, LAN-KASTur for the one in OH. Likewise, LEE muh for the Peruvian city, LIME uh like the bean for the OH one. Kuh RIB ee un or Kare' uh BE un I really use them interchangeably. I think it may depend on the flow of the sentence it appears in. Or maybe the first when it's an adjective and the second for the proper noun? Like going on a Kuh RIB ee un cruise to the Kare' uh BE un. OW ur New OR lins Rarely slip back into New Or LEENZ. Sometimes NAW linz, affectedly. Grew up with herbz, but now usually say erbz.

Fun idea- let's do a warring states era.

We won the race to the moon. (I have dual citizenship) -
Damn, are y'all social distancing in threads too.
Gina Szanboti replied to cyberbully's topic in Free-For-All
You and me both. Let's get together and plow through our backlogs! And of course Poof ninjas right in there exactly when I'm replying to a 2 hr old post so it looks like I'm talking to her instead of DCO. -
Shounen Sunday to publish an Inu-Yasha sequel
Gina Szanboti replied to Jman's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
As far as I can tell, Takahashi isn't writing this. It's an anime, not a manga (of course it surely will be, eventually), and is only providing the original characters and designs. So there's that. I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do though. -

We'll just blow it up and take all their water (probabaly have to get AZ in on that action though). -
I needed a little something to lighten my mood. He's so on point though, it's more schadenfreude than genuine happiness. We're so fucked.
