Our dog had surgery recently. Despite having pooped in the meantime, I just took her out and my god I've never seen so much poop come out of her before!
I texted my wife to tell her and she asked if it was relatively solid.
"Stackable" was the only word that came to mind. đ

The worst french fries Iâve ever had in France are better than the best chips Iâve had in England.
The fish has been good, but the chips are mediocre at best. How can this be?!

I was in Denmark when the Danes beat the Germans to win Euro â92.
And now I can say I was in England when the Labour Party ended a 16 year Conservative run, by a landslide.

Rick McCallum was definitely a Yes Man.

Part of the success of the SkyTrain was them building it along the rail line -- that's now mostly removed -- that ran through the middle of the city. Building it didn't really disrupt things. Not like what the Canada Line did through the Cambie corridor or what the new line along Broadway is doing.

Co-worker says he's putting on a jumper. (We've had HVAC issues in the office.) In my head, "That's a sweater. Why do they call it a jumper? He's not jumping. But jumping would be better than sweating. Maybe we should just all call them pullovers... but who's going to be pulloving?"

My favourite novel, ever, is Armor by John Steakley. (Steakley was inspired to write it because he liked Starship Troopers, but felt Heinlein couldn't write action very well.)

Right, but at what point would Lincoln have used dozens? Would he have ever said âfour dozen years agoâ? Or would it have been âtwo score and eight years agoâŠâ
Or if it was 84 years, would he have just said, âseven dozen years agoâ?
Who even knows!? đ€Ł

I wrote a Sasquatch screenplay and then one weekend I decided to watch every Sasquatch movie I could stream. I think it was 8 in all.
Gotta say, I agree with your assessment.
MONSTROUS (2020) was the best of the bunch but thatâs really not saying much.
