  1. That is true. The joke itself is conceptual, with the punch line changing with the times or, specifically, with the most recent social and sexual mores, but it's apparently been in continuous use since the beginning of the previous century. It's hallmark is the typical vaudevillian flourish with which the punchline and occasional follow-up are presented.
  2. That's actually a vaudeville trope.
  3. No... I told you I had friends and you didn't believe me.
  4. Everything is better with butter on it.
  5. Seriously, it's kind of a ugly tile.
  6. The field tile looks to be manufactured and the accent tiles share a similar edge, which makes me think they were likely part of group. The accents are kind of rough looking, but that is also likely part of the manufacturing process. Your best bet is starting with a Daltile sales rep to see if they can match it to anything in their catalog. Ceramic tile manufacturers are notorious for changing designs on a near yearly basis, so it's unlikely any original stock exists even if you can match it. That's part of the reason my mom started making her own tiles. If you can't find a manufacturer who will help, you might be able to find someone who custom makes ceramic times.
  7. Oh, ok. Well, post the tile.
  8. Who installed the tiles in the first place? Actually, post the tile here.
  9. Here you go: https://www.wikihow.com/Buy-a-Discontinued-Tile If your in laws did the work themselves, it might help to visit the local Home Depot or Lowes to see what brands they carry. Most of the time, however, tiles that are standard porcelain with relatively basic patterns come from Daltile or one of the companies it bought up. Out of Texas but nationwide, they're the biggest in the market by far. If the material looks to be expensive or the tile appears to be hand made, you would need to find an importer who deals with Italian and Mexican tile, respectively.
  10. I don't really see anything wrong with his rap.
  11. No, he just didn't pursue a solo career. He started as a producer, and that's what he stuck with. He never really tried to devote the time and energy to a solo act.
  12. I mean, he went platinum. The Suge Knight / Puff Daddy war aside, all of the top acts of the late '80s and'90s were remarkably similar in talent, in good part because they were still true successors to the original hip hop movement. In a more authentic hip hop / rap musical space, there's no cover for bad rhythm and poorly conceived lyrics. Just as Combs and Notorious BIG intoned with "Hypnotize", rappers have to be able to engage their audience on their own lyrical / rhythmic merits, much as any other musician would with his or her own instrument. There's a reason why guys like Combs or Dr. Dre can have careers as a producer with the same kind of success they had as artists. The introduction of EDM with its pop vocal overlays has somewhat helped less talented rap artists to achieve mainstreau success, so it could be argued that some of the more recent acts are not as good as their success indicates.
  13. Dude swings a mean kettlebell.
  14. And with that, final form has been achieved.
  15. Ten years later.....
  16. He apparently underestimates the resourcefulness of fascists.
  17. I always wondered.... doesn't Grubhub have a way to check this shit? I mean, if they don't that's a really bad business model or they just don't mind fucking Benji over or something.
  18. Sponges, I hope you know I give you shit because you drive me up a wall, not because I don't think you're a swell guy who I appreciate because, uh, you like dinosaurs and worship the time dragon and make beer. Also, I still don't know if I've been blocked or not, because if I have that's the least effort I've ever had to actually get blocked. I think I have been.
  19. What's a facist?
  20. As soon as I saw the article on my news feed, I came here to see if you posted it.
