I passed through Texas briefly last Friday. I made a point to mess with it while I was there.

It says something that people have completely forgotten within the span of 30 years that the "Don't Mess With Texas!" slogan started as an anti-littering campaign. It got co-opted by political opportunists so quickly that its original purpose was little more than a footnote.

And at this point I think any anti-littering campaign would get a large portion of the state's populace to litter more just to thumb their nose at the "environmentalist wackos".

I have EXTREMELY vague memories of this.

You have vague memories of littering in Texas to spite environmentalist wackos?

To each their own, I guess...

Correct!

Who is going to clean up this pile of hands?

I know it's a forum with reputation for unpleasantness, but how could you use Reddit to gouge out a horse's eyeballs?

Since when has the US Navy been hiring space aliens as parachuters?!

You mean like how he can make enough ratatouille to feed everyone in Dryden?

HAHAHAHAHA!

It is funny because Dryden in the smallest city in Ontario, whereas you would expect if someone where making a humorous exaggeration about an 8-foot zucchini, they would pick a larger settlement.

Incidentally, with a population of 7,749, Dryden is much too large to be fed by a single zucchini, even one of such noteworthy length.

I was in a car crash on the way to the hospital when my wife was delivering our twins. As a result, my idiot brother-in-law got there first and had to do the naming.

"What did you name the girl?" I asked once I arrived.

"Denise," he said.

"That's not bad, I guess. Better than I expected. And the boy?"

"Denephew."

Why would you want to remove quality?

This is correct.

7. Ice
8. Lunch
9. Crusher

Why won't it just share the hedge?

There once was a man from Nantucket
who didn't pronounce his Rs
and made a living as a fisher
until a nor'wester
blew him out to sea and he was eaten by a whale.

There once was a poet from Limerick
whose scansion wasn’t very good.
Rhyme gave him trouble too
and he enjamb
ed inexplicably
so he got published a lot by university presses.

Well that's no way to get a head.

But by that token, there's 7 billion or so people who aren't annoyed by everything you do. Some might even say you're a hero.

Heyah.

Even after all these years, I still can't read that with mentally autocompleting it with "...it's me, Imoen."

It's been my standard greeting for years, even before I discovered BG.

Why were you telling people you're Imoen before you even discovered Baldur's Gate?

I’m a matryoshka of squiggly organ bits, multi-colored tubes, and bones.

Danger is Captain Danger Bear's middle name.

Wait. Your first name is "Captain"? WHY THE HELL HAVE I BEEN SALUTING YOU?!

Nothing dies, as long as there is song! Sing with me friends!

She has a bindle, to carry her stuff
her gloves don't have fingers, palms are enough,
she rides the rails and sleeps in the rough,
that's why the lady is a tramp...
