  • So it sounds like you're checking to see when the light turns off, to know that the car is going.

    Sounds like what we actually need is a green accelerator light on the front of the car.

  • All babies look like actor Wallace Shawn. Any resemblance to their parents is overridden by their resemblance to Wallace Shawn and may be coincidental or imagined.

  • Seriously? People live their lives in those houses. They sleep, cook, decorate, throw parties, watch movies, raise children. Just because the outside isn't non-conformist enough for your personal tastes, that's not a home?

    There's something wrong with that perspective.

  • They only get to about half an inch. And they're sort of round, not as gross as a lot of other bugs. But yeah, they just slam themselves into doors and windows. It's noisy and weird.

  • June bugs are so annoying. Every April they start slamming their little bodies against the damn back door, and I'm like, what the fuck are you doing?! You're two months early, you assholes!

    It's fine when they do it in June, but I have to put up with two months of that early bullshit.

  • What's your method of enjoying (or at least tolerating) physical exercise?

    Jump

  • Personally, I like a treadmill.

    For years I planned to get one, and all the runners in my family would talk about how awful they are, how no one ever uses it once they have it, and getting outside is so much better.

    I finally got the treadmill a couple months ago, and I use it several times per week. Some weeks I use it every day. It's convenient, I can control the temperature in the room, I can watch something on my phone while I run, and I like being able to set a consistent pace.

  • Historical context matters

  • You're thinking about it the right amount. It's a fill word.

    I learned the game as a kid and it was one of those things everyone just knows to say, like "olly olly oxen free" or "eeny meeny miny mo." It's just what you say.

  • That's just instead of saying, "Rock, Paper, Scissors, SHOOT!". "Shoot" is when both players put out their hands, just like RPS.

    And yes, the players have to agree on which one of them is Odds and which one is Evens beforehand.

    When I used to play a game where we had to randomize who went first, my best friend and I decided in advance that I'd always be Evens and he'd always be Odds.

    There's no difference, but if you absolutely can't agree on who's what you could always flip a coin for it.

  • Historical context matters

    Jump

  • Every time Rock Paper Scissors comes up, I like to point out the superiority of Odds and Evens for resolving disputes.

    Rules:

    One player picks Odds, the other player picks Evens.

    Someone says, "Odds, Evens, says, SHOOT", and both players put out either one finger or two fingers.

    Count the fingers. If it's odd, Odds wins. If it's even, Evens wins.

    Exactly 50% chance, no ties. RPS has always been obsolete.

  • Any time someone can't tell the difference between centrists and fascists, I just have to assume that their stance is more about arguing than it is about a sincerely held ideology.

  • There was a Hubcap Grill in Houston that had the best burger in a city that has a lot of great burgers.

    They say they named it that because of a method of cooking a burger on a skillet, where you place a metal plate over the beef as it cooks to reduce splattering. The joke was that the burgers were so big that they needed to use a hubcap instead of a plate. And it was pretty close to true. Those burgers were massive and incredible.

    They still have a few locations, including one in Hobby airport. But the original, which was a hole in the wall in downtown Houston, was the best.
