Mixed up your analogies, there, but "Ow, My Balls!" is a great reference.Quote:

Fortunately, they are kind of wrong, too. The point behind idiocracy was that stupid people reproduce at a faster rate. In fact, it's less educated people, not stupid people, and the two groups aren't all that related.
Still a funny movie, though.
It rained last night, there were showers this morning (I took one), and sprinkles all day. It's the first we have seen since May. Unfortunately, it barely dampened the ground.
Maybe next month.
We have been experiencing the exact opposite problem. It has rained everyday for weeks now.
I actually enjoy the rain, but my lawn is a bit neglected. Then again passing a mower right now is sure to leave bad ruts.
We've been on a bit of a cool streak here. 80's to low 90's. Was surprised how cool it was this morning. Think we normally average @ 95 daily high.
This summer has been unusually cool here too. Typically when it rains here, it cools off for about 30 minutes then it gets hot and humid. But this year after it rains it seems like the clouds are lingering around causing it to stay cool.
I just looked it up and our temperature is 77 degrees right now with a feels like of 86. Generally we would be in the low 90s with a feels like in the low 100s.
Yeah, I am looking at the temperature averages and the average high is 92.
Yeah but you guys have high humidity. That makes it so much worse. I don't like humidity. We're at 34% today. I'll take 100+ with 34% over 90 with 90% humidity. I guess you would get use to it but it just kicks my butt when I use to visit my sister in Houston. Now they live by Lafayette, so same thing, different location. lolQuote:

I thought Houston was bizarre. It never cools down. It was 90 during the day. I got up 4am to go fishing and it was 86.Quote:

We have high humidity, today. That's very unusual for us, and it causes weird problems. We normally don't get condensation.
I've been unusually cool, too.Quote:

I remember the waiter saying it goes back to the French Revolution It was pretty pungent and I think it was made mostly from offal - I clearly remember it having tubes in it (veins and arteries, presumably). It was also very coarse.Quote:
Boudin is French and it is a sausage made with pork blood.
Any idea what I'm talking about?
If it was dark red almost black, it was boudin (black pudding) if it was more grey like , it could be some andouillette if it was warm (https://www.google.com/search?q=ando...Gs6zA1u2oWVSHM)
or some andouille if it was cold : https://www.google.com/search?q=ando...-WJonSaYzro7gN
and it is not vein and artery, it is intestine parts.
Oh yum. Almost makes me want Mr. Delicious back on the air.
The Commercial that Killed a Fast Food Chain has pretty poor quality video, but I think it had to be pieced together from some really old off-the-air VHS recordings.
I like to cook my jambalaya with andouille, but I prefer a deep smoked sausage in my gumbo.
It's never a good idea to look too closely at sausage.
I found a strange website that has a number of VBForums' member's names and posts to make it look like it's active:
https://dev.xenforo.relay.cool/index.php
I ran the URL through VirusTotal, and it came out clean.
That's strange. Don't think it's active, no post newer than 2020. Shouldn't we be getting royalties on our posts? lol
How much would you want in royalties for your posts? :bigyello:Quote:

In reality, it only has two of yours.

I'd want a considerable amount for my Post Race posts alone.
They do show me as a Super Moderator, though. I should have tried to ban them.

Sounds like we need to unionize.Quote:

Or we could simply ask Steve to increase our royalties by a factor of 8 times, which would make it better here.....right? :DQuote:

As long as I'm treated like royalties....
We can treat you like Lady Jane Grey or Mary, Queen of Scotts. How important is your head? :DQuote:

Hardly. That would be DDay.

It was a truck that took dead livestock to some place. I'm not sure where. The smell was beyond belief in that heat.
It was a nice, long, red light, too.
I'm stumped. Can I buy a vowel???Quote:

Knowing what you are missing should probably help you find it.
If not, at least it pads my post race count.
The cartoon reminds me of something, but I don't feel like explaining what.
Oh, he meant the hidden objects. I had no clue what he was talking about. I had already found the hidden objects. lolQuote:

I support LBGT+ Astrophysicists on rye.
Do astrophysicists drink rye? I would have thought they'd be more into vodka.
Japan's government is holding a contest for plan to get people to drink more alcohol.

Well at least they are upfront about. lol
We've come for your liver.
This weekend, the weather will finally be cooling. That will change my house ventilation strategy.
I only added that post because the race was falling down the screen a ways.
Really??? Or is it you have a thing for house ventilation? ;)Quote:
