Or from the mother tongue: imbecile
Finally, Shaggy has been spotted.
If he's in Hollywood, then I'd expect him to look more flashier. More like Mr. Boomtastic himself

Nice to know I was missed....but all the NEWS that I missed!!!
What's going on in Cleveland? Did Watson get suspended for a long time? Brisset isn't bad, he's just not going to win the super bowl for you.
What's this about permanent daylight savings time?
It all depends on where you are. I would much prefer DST to permanent standard time, out here. Standard time kind of sucks on this side of the time zone. Other places would have different preferences.
Is Boris Johnson gone, yet?
Was there really only a pun about wine and raisins while I was gone? Grape, that's just grape!
There are bandages on both of my feet, and I'm on antibiotics. It was an...interesting hike.
Well, glad your back and alive. Sorry to hear about the injuries but it's not the first time hiking has taken a toll on you. Hiking for 5 weeks is not my cup of tea but what ever floats your boat. Doesn't harm anyone,, except you. lol
Where did you hike? If it's not a secret.
btw - if it makes you feel better, I'm on antibiotics too.
I was on the Pacific Crest Trail from Donner Summit (don't try the finger food, it's real fingers) up to Ashland Oregon. Half the continent of Europe is over here hiking the trail, too. Guess there was a bit of pent up demand. I felt that at least half the hikers were from the EU, primarily Germany, but several other countries, as well.
Been over Donner Summit many times. Just @ 3hrs away. I like camping in the Sierra's. You picked a beautiful place to hike.
Just south of Donner Summit...well, a ways south, actually...on the PCT, there is a hut called the Benson hut. It's the only place I have ever seen a three story outhouse. You have to climb a ladder to get to the door, which is a split door. That's kind of nice, except you need to be a bit acrobatic to be able to open both halves of the door, swing them wide, all while clinging to a vertical ladder. Then you have to get onto the small platform, and in through the doorway.
Once inside, you can close the lower half of the door and enjoy the view without anybody else also enjoying the view...or not.
However, also once inside, a person can admire the ladder that runs up to the roof of the outhouse, while contemplating the situation whereby you'd need to get out through the trapdoor in the roof, a good 20 feet off the ground. It would have been necessary this last winter, since that door would have required quite a bit of digging to get to it.
You wouldn't want to be south of Donner now. Major fire around Yosemite.
The term Crest suggests the trail was above the tree line.
At times.
I took a look at a map of the Pacific Crest Trail. I had never heard of it. Then again I'm not a hiker. Is there an actual established trail the whole way? Or just markers? Mexico to Canada. Who knew?Quote:

Most of what I hiked for the last two weeks is now under mandatory evacuation orders due to a series of fires. At least two fires started along the trail north of where I finished, so my hiking partner also got evacuated on Sunday. She had only made it two and a half days before getting evacuated.
With more storms in the forecast, more fires are likely to start.
Meanwhile, I can't smell the smoke, but it has cast a pall over the valley. Orange sunrises, gray/brown air, and all that.
The good thing is that the high temps should only reach to about 90, today, rather than topping 100. We might even get rain. That would be interesting.
How about my "established trail" question??? I got to know, I can't sleep!!!!
There's an established trail the whole way. In most places, it's very well maintained, and built to a fairly gentle grade. Old burn scars tend to have lots of blowdowns and brush, but even those are pretty well maintained. There are signs at major road crossings, and perhaps even more signs at minor road crossings.
Wasn't she big in the seventies?Quote:

But still in for it today, together with Billie:

Ohh, that's good.
Now I'm going to have to bring a pen with me to the bathroom.
I'm sure you've heard about the constipated mathematician, right?
I have now
I happened to glance at the tags for this thread and it brought back some memories. Happy days, DD.

These are the kind of scientist we need.
The people who are complaining about that are a bunch of wieners.
Mmmm.... Chorizo..... King of Sausages
A risky sausage, to me. They don't seem to be very consistent. Recipes seem like they can vary more widely than most sausages I've encountered.
Wrong. The correct answer is boudin.Quote:

If it's the latter, it probably SHOULD get a broader following. Any excellent regional food deserves more recognition.
by the way, Etienne Klein is very famous in France and very appreciated because, he is clear in what he says and try to teach people to be critical about what they see, what they hear, he try to teach people to think by them self. I like him very much.
Boudin is French and it is a sausage made with pork blood. You can find it also in Ireland and maybe in Scotland. It is called "black pudding"

for Toulouse's sausage : https://img.cuisineaz.com/2880x1920/...-toulouse.jpeg
edit : apparently, Wikipedia says that Boudin exists also in Spain, Italia, Romania and Russia, what I didn't know
Cajun is also French...more or less.
Look at my evolution.
This is the boudin I’m referring to https://www.beststopinscott.com/prod...tegory/boudin/
Scott, LA is the boudin capital. There’s regional flavors in Louisiana, but just about everyone agrees that boudin from Scott is best. Blood boudin is not widely made. I personally don’t care for it too much, more older generations like it.
Toulouse's sausage Looks more like ponce sausage to me, but not quite.
Bonker, your evolution is definitely noted.
Us old people aren't picky. Blood, no blood, just as long as it comes with an ice cold beer.
Makes sense to me
That's how hockey games work, too.
I never heard of blood sausage (Blutwurst) until I came to Germany. Never knew it was made everywhere.
I'd say that one form or another is made very widely. While the term is widespread, I would guess that the actual sausage that results is wildly different from one region to another.
Of course, at some level, sausage is just sausage. I have a link to that here.
Is it safe for work?
Ah, Jesus Christ!
Hard to say whether that is safe for work.
While hiking, we stopped for a meal at some place along the trail that was playing a bunch of 80s music. That song came on, and the gal I was hiking with didn't recognize it, nor the term 'Rick Roll'.
Is that really so dated?
You got me!Quote:

But what can you expect of a generation where all restaurants are Taco Bell, the hot TV show is "Ow, My Balls!" and their fine dining music is a piano player singing the "Green Giant" products jingle?
