... ,dude.

Agreed, but they're just quoting the vernacular in each case and considering the three words together to be a single term connoting 'everyone'.

It is stuff for the men. Men's hair, man's skins, men's shapes. A little jewelry, a few threads IIRC. That is why I started with "guys". I consider myself adaptable linguistically but I'm still kinda subconsciously hung up on the old ways with that particular term in practice. Moreso the term "Dude". It makes my teeth shiver when I hear two women speaking and one starts a sentence with " Dude, ...."

Guys remember when the KMADD store was busy 24/7?

Thank you. Cheers!

Do we have any Brits among us? I believe we do, but I won't call names for fear of looking (even more) foolish. I have a terminology question for any Brit or well-versed Anglophile who would care to answer. This is not humor, the question is sincere. Category: Automotive. I understand that in an ordinary front-engine car the hinged panel covering the engine is called the 'bonnet'. A Yank such as myself would call this bit the 'hood'. The hinged panel in back for the storage compartment, referred to as the 'trunk' in the USA, is known as the 'boot' in GB. My question is: are the terms 'bonnet' and 'boot' indicative of the panel's function or their placement? To put it another way, in a rear-engined automobile such as the classic VW Beetle is the front lid called the 'bonnet' because it is in front or the 'boot' because it covers the storage space?

Ahhhhh CRAP! ...... "exicting" ...... grrrr... back to square one

a little of my recent GIMPage

What an awesome day that was!

hehehe I can remember going more than once to see a performer (the preference of a friend) who could never get my name right. She usually called me "Churches" although sometimes it came out more like "Sure cheese".

Antonio has a classically trained voice but he isn't stuffy, he comes off as very personable. He uses backing tracks but they're good quality, not the ones that sound like they were made on a 1985 $199 Casio "electronic keyboard". For the most part he uses relatively tasteful production values, at least compared to most SL performers.

Antonio Galloway (IIR the name correctly) is creme de la creme IMO.

ROUND ONE! *DING*

Geeez.... try to start a meme-off and somebody hazta go and get all factual an' stuff. harumph

We, the other doofi of the world, salute you. Doofus there looks pasted in as an afterthought - like the marketing dept. presented the first draft and Aunt Julia said "Somebody's missing. Go check Rockwell again." so they trimmed doofus out of another photo with scissors and Scotch Taped him on.

I live in sight of the Mexican border now but I grew up near Utica New York where the Italian food is so fresh that a pastrami would have returned "No shock advised". It is a nostalgic joy for me when I occasionally encounter an old fashioned Italian Mama or Papa as a patient. If I am dealing with a good Italian Mama and she seems downhearted it usually turns out to be great therapy to get her talking about food. Recently I asked a patient "Mrs _____, since I came to Arizona I can't find good Italian food. Some of it is OK, but it's not like home, yano? I'd about die for a real gnocchi. Do you know anyplace around here I can get a good gnocchi?" I could have mouthed the words of her reply right along with her. "You want gnocchi? YOU come to MY house!" I have no doubt the invitation was sincere.

YAY RHONDA! HAPPY YOU DAY!

I think we went to the same cooking school. I store my pizza warmer in the laundry room.

I've never known anyone who has done surgery on an eel. Please come have a look in my hovercraft.

Excellent solution! I think I'll go wash my hands.

and indeed ya can't help that with CPR. Maybe he should just wipe himself with a tortilla.... nah. Nevermind.

Which brings me to a thought - and I'd like to be the one to pose the (semi) random question of the day: How many of us are CPR trained/certified? For me it is a professional requirement.
