Jako taki [yako taki] (or jako tako, depending on gender and number of subjects) means "so so, mediocre" in Polish. I think that at least one cabaret used jako taki and takoyaki as a word-play in their stand up routine...

The narrator is named Martin Shaw

Still isn't one. Just "reply below" and the default Craigslist "we'll send the seller an email" offer. I'm tempted to go to the area on the map and put up a sign.

Garage is now cleaner than the rest of the house.
Of course this will not do. NOW I have to clean the house
(Looks like a disaster struck, since I brought in all the salvageable stuff from the garage to try and,... salvage it.) ;P
Seems somebody liked my pile of trash. While I was at work this morning, someone obviously went through my pile of waterlogged garbage and actually took a couple of things. Including a large plastic tub with the remains of an old inflatable swimming pool in it.
One mans trash is another mans treasure! ;)

The Martin Shaw!, that's brilliant he has a great voice. (And was superb in The Professionals, a must-see for any police/FBI tv-show fan)

To be honest, that sounds like a good idea (depending how large the area is).

I hope it is amazing as this place is. I have a sizeable nyc food bias, though.

I should get that for my wife. She's always meant to read the Silmarillion, and it would make her commute a little more fun.

The wind is blowing, and the white foam is flying.
West, west away, the round sun is falling.
Grey ship, grey ship, do you hear them calling.
The voices of my people that have gone before me?
I will leave, I will leave the woods that bore me;
For our days are ending and our years failing.
I will pass the wide waters lonely sailing.
Long are the waves on the Last Shore falling,
Sweet are the voices in the Lost Isle calling,
In Eressea, in Elvenhome that no man can discover,
Where the leaves fall not: land of my people for ever!’
Well, at least you don't have the Doom of Mandos set upon you.

Thirty-three degrees of motion, m$~@!$!*%!$!! YEAH! Gained three degrees when I thought progress was stopping. Today was my last PT appointment, but I'm gon' keep working this b%@~+ 'til it begs for mercy. They said I'd never get 60 to 70 (normal), but that's going to be my goal anyway.
Did you ever think you'd see somebody so ridiculously happy about a gain of three degrees of motion in a stupid fingertip? ;)
P.S. Oh, also gained about 8 pounds of grip strength.
P.P.S. Why aren't we on metric yet?

That's way too standardized. What are you, some kind of Socialist?
8 Eagles = 1 Kick ass
23 Kick asses = 1 Merica
9.43 Mericas = 1 Norris

Now you're being silly. My system is way easier to work with. Everybody knows if you want a quarter of a Norris you need 332.75 eagles.

Yeah, I've made it through the book twice, and it was worth it, BUT it was work, not easy! :P
Audiobook sounds MUCH better! (Pun not intended, but acceptable) ;)

I can't eat syrup anymore, it makes me nauseous.
And poutine creeps me out. It's fries, curds, and gravy right?

This. Fries, smothered in gravy, with bits of melty soft cheese.
If it was served at Denny's and called "Ultimate French Fries" or something, Americans would be all over it.

And failed miserably.
Tammy loved cheese curds, so squeaky fresh!
