  1. These were a thing when I was a kid, bubblegum cigars, too. I don't see them now, though, but I am really not looking for them. Are they still a thing?
  2. Yay! Have you had a celebratory chocolate cigar yet?
  3. All the nutters are out on this one, too. I have seen idiots claim it was caused by terrorists, DEI, Biden, and/or god, whatever fits their narrative or what their walnut-sized brains (being generous with that last one) could come up with.
  4. This should answer any questions about posting more intelligent topics, too.
  5. It made me kinda nervous, and my stomach still hurts. Am I going to die, or do I just have to poop?
  6. Betty, all day. Jane was more a lady of privilege, I think. It has been a while since I have seen the Jetsons, though.
  7. I don't know that I have ever posted a particularly intelligent thread. I will have to try that and see how it goes.
  8. https://www.scoutingny.com/stopping-by-archie-bunkers-house-in-queens/ I think I am supposed to go there and throw a pizza on the roof.

  10. ...but it is 51 degrees outside. It just looks that way, though. One one hand, I don't want the snow, but on the other hand, I expect early spring to toy with me for quite a while before we get into jungle humidity season. Knock on wood, it looks like it will be nice weather all weekend. Maybe I will go to Queens and see if I can find the Bunker's house.
  11. I give this thread two 'mehs' up!
  12. I have to admit that I feel pretty bad when I read articles about people stealing diapers and formula. How desperate do you have to be to try and shoplift unshopliftable items like diapers? Rhetorical, but really frickin' desperate, like we are living in a third-world cesspool and nobody gives a damn.
  13. We are accustomed to your consistent excellence, so now you have to surpass yourself to have the same impact!
  14. I was more thinking of terrorists blowing up a bridge at rush hour, or on a subway, or a dam of some sort. They know, but I imagine pulling that kind of stuff off is harder than we would think. I like when the various agencies shut that stuff down and nail the potential perps.
  15. Although this one was unintentional, say hello to future terrorist attacks on infrastructure. I am sure they are noticing the chaos this kind of thing can bring.
  16. Yeah, there is that. Also, when I went to a LGS a few nights back a bit later, only the self checkouts were open. Mine required interaction for EACH item I scanned, it was a pain in the ass. I only had like six items, I was feeling pretty pissy about the pain in the ass factor.
  17. I think chicks are harder to pigeonhole on the friend thing. My experience is that guys tend to have the same friends for life, but have fewer overall friends to hang out with. Chicks sometimes have difficulty being friends with other chicks for long periods (not talking about Aunt Flo, jsharrt!), and sometimes don't get along with other women at all.
  18. I loved that story! It was so natural and like him, plus I think he enjoyed it.
  19. Indian food is good food, I like that there are veggies and odd layered spices in most dishes! You can't go takeout every night, although I don't feel much like cooking at all.
  20. Yeah, there are benefits. Certain things are cleaner, I am eating and drinking less. There is room in the fridge. I don't have to listen to loud crunchy chewing all the time, and no one is talking through their food to me. I don't have to go through a bunch of possibilities before watching a movie or a show. The covers actually stay on the bed all night, so making the bed in a casual manner is just a flip of the comforter and blankets. I can make whatever food I want for dinner. No one is picking a fight or is asking if I am mad about something, even though if I was I would've said something each time. There are drawbacks, too. I am lonely, plus I am bored off my ass. I miss the good things. It is strange being an isolate again, and I have to invent reasons to go out of the house and interact with people. I don't get dinner made for me half the time. I used to have sex, but to be fair, there was much more of that the first couple of years. Financially, she was paying half the rent, and more than half the food, so now I am even more screwed, too. Finances are no reason to stay with someone, though, that is for other people. Anyway, it is just an adjustment everybody has to get used to, all relationships that end have similar symptoms. I am sure she has a similar number of the good and the bad of things, similar depth of feelings and such. So it goes.
