One of the most important race tracks in the United States is in Daytona Beach, Florida. The entire motor racing culture of Daytona sprung up because the local beach sand is actually hard, densely packed and worn very smooth by the waves. The earliest car races there used a significant portion of the beach itself as the track.

Probably don’t give the dog A1 sauce but yeah make waffle treats for your dog. Sounds like an afternoon of wholesome fun.

The grass and/or grain the cow eats does though.

I was being serious; figure up the tons per hectare per year of butter production.

Do butter.

I was born in, and raised near, Pinehurst. I can tell you from a lifetime of experience, there are no golfers that are simultaneously normal and good people. They’re either abnormal or evil or both. Or they’re alcoholics.

He might have been hung but he was definitely hanged, I saw the video. Surprisingly loud.

Illinois Nazis. I hate Illinois Nazis.

It’s Moby Duck.

Man, I went to a coffee shop with a girl once. This coffee shop sat maybe 24 people, okay? It’s a shallow, wide building. There’s the counter with two baristas working, in front of the counter along the front wall of the building are those narrow “table for two” booths, like 2 or 3 of them. Both the counter and those booths run to the right wall of the building. To the left is a small more open area with maybe 4 four-seat tables.

There was this guy. This male homo sapiens. Who brought an acoustic-electric guitar. A microphone. And two, count them in the eyes of sweet zombie Jesus TWO. 60+ watt amplifiers. Because this was the artistic opportunity of this existing organism’s life. This creature, this placental mammal, was going to REACH his audience on this night. Through all the noise of a commercial AC unit and the single digit number of people that I ever saw in the building, his Green Day covers would be HEARD!

That happened during the winter of 2011. My headcanon is that guy wheezed to death of covid on one of those 3D printed ventilators they tried to get me to help make. I didn’t do those, I did the 3-ring binder slip cover face mask visors.

I dated a girl who had been raised by a single mother, one sister no brothers, then she went to an all-girl’s college. At 25, I was her first boyfriend. I’m not sure I convinced her we’re the same species. A 5’7" 200 pound man dating a 5’1" 110 pound woman, I was almost twice her size and casually lifted or moved things she utterly couldn’t. She very nearly screamed the first time I picked her up.

They’re predators, but they’re the “I’m adapted to hunt in one environment but I hang out in another” kind of predator, so they’re these amazing fish seeking torpedoes in the water, but they’re these delightfully ridiculous footballs in dinner jackets waddling around on land. And they’re licensed under the GPL which is always cool.

Or a capybara that is just sick of that pelican’s shit.

I’m not “trying” anything. I’ve encountered a lot of websites with Choose Your Language dropdowns where English is represented by Old Glory and not the Union Jack.

I was specifically referring to this which proposed many of the changes you’re talking about, but very few were actually adopted.

The Voice Of America has a standardized Simplified English they use for broadcasting to regions where English isn’t commonly spoken.

There was also that attempt at destupifying English spelling, a very small amount of which stuck. Color.

Nothing. I’ve heard it used occasionally for decades.

Reminds me of Bill And Ted’s Bogus Journey. “Dude! Hell sucks!”

I kinda miss Pontiac. For my entire lifetime, they were “What if GM products were just a little more ridiculous?”

The Trans Am is a Z-28 with mutton chops. Prove me wrong.
