pastrami sandwich, & a cookie...tiramisu and a mudslide for afters.

Not a father...

I got called "Dad" by a girlfriend's 3 year old, does that count? (gotta admit, despite his young age, it made me feel good)

Ukrainian Special Forces, with malice of forethought, rescue drowning Russian soldiers after dam destruction. Those damn nazis. /s

I know some of you are dealing with nasty strings of storms & flooding (I saw that body cam footage of the two cops that got sucked into a pipe in a flash flood and spat out 100 ft later, both are ok), but here we're dealing with the worst drought that I can remember. The grass looks like straw and even the weeds are starting to shrivel up. I just came in from watering down the plants nearest the house (idiots in the neighborhood have been shooting off fireworks, including roman candles). It's so bad that wasps were immediately landing on wet leaves to drink. What's it like by the rest of you?

0 days since a single careless smoking incident on the Russian side of the border.

I don't think anything like that will happen while the Sir Paul, Sir Ringo or Yoko are around. In fact, I'd bet that their kids (Sean, Julian, Stella, etc.) would sue as well once they're gone, should someone try it.

Only one that caught on for any length of time - Now Playing on your Mind Jukebox (or something like that). The rest were either spur of the moment or a current event related and has a shelf life, if they went anywhere at all. NPMJ got shoved into a music folder, shriveled up & died.

This could be Time's Chernobyl.

Cross-contamination from the Trump thread

The most surprising news since research showed that inmates enjoyed self-gratification!!!

*presents a 3rd vodka & sprite* Reminds me of a skit on a Martin Mull Lp. Tom Waits (as surly bartender): "You want somethin?" Mull: "Yeah, I'll have a scotch...hang on..." (SFX of a bunch of change hitting the bar) Mull: "...I think I have enough for a double!" TW: "I think you have enough for your funeral."

Hungary holding Ukrainian POWs for Russia?

Salmon macaroni salad, broccoli bacon & cheese salad, & a cookie

"Konyeshna" *places 2nd drink down*

Can't see the stuff without remembering opening flats of it and finding a bunch of cans that were dented and the seals broken. They all had green fur.
