  1. If only she could fall out of a tower and be eaten by dogs.
  2. It comes from a French word that has a vowel sound halfway between the two, so whichever one she preferred, she still sounded like a Hillbilly to us high-falutin folk. Maybe bring that up if you're bored and she won't stop calling you.
  3. Aww hell now you've got me craving a castor bean smoothie.
  4. Last I heard about Zimbabwe, people were panning gold all day until they had enough to sell the flakes to eat. Then I ran into a couple of Zimbabwean dudes eating in a nice restaurant here, didn't look like they had a care in the world. I suppose the place is part of the 90% of Planet Earth where you're either aristocracy, or else you grub in the mud to live.
  5. He seems to concentrate on a "closeted person did ____" type of story. Kinda like Torquemada going after the Conversos.
  6. I have it on good authority that all Surlsters have come to the idea that moving to Colorado will solve all woes. Who are you and what did you do to GenXer?
  7. TLDR: This was a story from a while back. Preacher had private trans persona and liked to write fan fic involving locals. Reporter Craig Monger found out and published article on him, preacher committed suicide. Monger's employer, 1819 News, which appears to exist to supply stories to talk radio programs, lost some advertisers. Monger is still on staff, when not puffing out his huge neck to attract mates.
  8. Dude, I did commit.
  9. In 2012, Cox had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor harassment charges after a woman claimed he said he would “make her so horny that she would wet her pants.”
  10. Not too bad. Only 545 last night, went down to 450. I think I'm dead already and don't know it like in 6th Sense. 345 this morning, Swung by oncologist and they jacked me up with 4 units of insulin before Zapping. Zapping took maybe 15 minutes, then I swung by to get my brain-swell vomit pills as well as a drug that treats high sugar. The main thing is I am OFF the Dexamethasone which was 50% of the reason I flipped diabetic, the other half being the tumor in my thalamus. And OK maybe I shoulda skipped that cookie. Got a new Day of the Dead mask to work on. As for other effects, I don't seem seem seem ghersgh seem to be problem have:;"'.
  11. It's like she followed me around for four years.
  12. Last night I stabbed myself several times with the glucose meter while yelling made-up Japanese words like a samurai. Numbers were High As Fuck, though trending down. Stalked my doc's home phone through one of those people-finder sites, she was cool about it, said it's steroids and will go away soon, but if I wanted to I should maybe stop by a Doc-in-the-Box. So I did, every one was closed, and I got home by memory because my vision blurred. I said hell no to emergency rooms because I could see getting trapped in one until my numbers went down, and I would would miss my radiation party day today. Big mistake, because I woke up dead. No, wait. Nice morning of water and non-carb food, soon to be followed by a 2-mile stroll. I'll test the glucose again after that, then we enter into Zapping World.
  13. Yep. With a good solid class, you can build up a level of group knowledge, where when the inevitable questions from last week's work crop up, instead of having to stop the whole class for the Authority Figure to backtrack, their classmates can set them straight in a couple of minutes. There's an art to figuring out how to pair the students up in small groups, but when it runs, it runs well. And if your slower kids are caught up, you can share some deeper insights into the material, get away from zombie worksheets and such. On the other hand, a small class where people miss a lot is just broken. Turns into tutoring sessions for the ones who do show. Hell, I'll tutor. I'd rather teach them all.
  14. Remember to retain enough Mercury Dimes to barter with, which we will need in a future Thunder Dome world, I am told. Never mind that 95% of Americans now don't know what a Mercury Dime is.
  15. Didn't bother me any. The faux-diabetes will probably pass away after the zapping and dropping the steroids. I am not a big fat person. Unless that is what you're hiring. I didn't know my sugar was high until they called me while I was chewing on the bread. That chunk of bread was bad news. Way too dense. Seriously, this is what happened to the knife:
  16. So you mean the Texians were winning, but then George and Jesus led an unstoppable bayonet charge screaming "Viva Santa Anna!"?
  17. Hey, since AI can and will do everything we used to have to study for, what do y'all think about just redefining college away from anything practical, just a social class bump where 19-year-olds can mingle and share a tribal identity? I'd still include a few courses just so they have to try to function after closing the bar. My choices are Latin, Fencing, and Horseback Riding. Discuss.
  18. Hey, I may be ignunt, but I'm damn good-lookin.
  19. Oh, and apparently this Dexamethasone they gave me to keep the tumor from dropping me in a conniption fit, plus the tumor itself, have leaned onto my body to make me a fully-functional diabetic in the past few days. I got this news while I was sitting out on the deck scarfing down a huge slice of home-made bread. I pitched it over the garage, maybe into our neighbor's back yard. Cole slaw, meat, fish and water, and maybe a nice glucometer from the drug store after I exercise my diabetic ass off walking there.
