Watched about 3 minutes of a soccer game yesterday, I think it was Italy vs Austria... During those 3 minutes, I saw 3 incidents where players received various non-violent blows and they reacted as if someone had hit them with a baseball bat ... literally agonizing in excruciating pain... This, and the game stopping every 5 seconds. I remembered why I hate that game. :-P

There was a young girl of Madras
Who had a magnificent ass.
Not rounded and pink
As you'll probably think,
But had long ears, was grey and ate
grass.***
A farmer once called his cow Zephyr.
She seemed such an amiable hephyr.
When the farmer drew near
She kicked off his ear,
Which made him considerably dephyr.- 1964.shapesalad

Who used to be a miserable goth
He took a red pill
And nows he's a cunt.face_melter - There was a shambling clown called i_was

Through a dirty old sock
And his spunk came out all blackface_melter

Sydney in 2 week lockdown..
yet all the shops are open, people are walking around like nothings happening..everyones just working from home..
its school holidays.
that said, there is a pattern here.. School holidays just started.. previously it was Mothers day, New Years, Christmas .. all the outbreaks happen around holidays..
- Yep. Took the dogs to the usually empty park yesterday and it was like summer. Groups of 10+ having picnics. It's going to get messy I reckons...MrT
- and that pattern, what's that all about? Shame cos Sydney's shitloads better when it's half empty.MrT

How many of you have:
Out of the box mindset.
?
- what is that?sted
- When you give it 110%. Those in the box only give it 100%.palimpsest
- Something I saw on a job listing. Perhaps another way to say "You already know what you're doing, like ready freshly out of the box"?shapesalad
- Or the mean that you don't follow the norm, instructions etc and think 'out of the box'. either way, sounds like BS.shapesalad
- Is it the same as Mad Mike's Gorilla Mindset?face_melter
- My mindset came pre-assembled and ready to use right out of the boxnb

- as a pop fan (i'm from the country called the midwest, sue me), what's the flavor profile on irn bru, in general? I've always wanted to try itkaiyohtee

- I tried IRN BRU out of interest one day. It's a sugary as fuck orange soda. Nothing more. Really odd that you guys have latched onto it.inteliboy
- It's orange because it is made from girders. Apart from my family, Bru is the only thing I missed when I left Scotland.face_melter
- But if you think Irn Bru is sugary, Curries Special (Red) Kola - another Scottish staple - from the 80's would have melted your teeth.face_melter

a friend of mine is threatening to sue a restaurant/bar on social media because he ordered a bitters and tonic and they served him two vodka tonics, which he drank and only realized at the end that they were vodkas.
he's not an alcoholic, but he doesn't drink. he says it could be 'negligent manslaughter.'
thoughts?
- How did he not know, from putting his nose into the glass he was drinking from, that it contained alcohol? And then, after the first sip?Nairn
- Frankly, suing for 'negligent manslaughter' is a stupidly-retarded reaction to getting the wrong drink in a BAR.Nairn

I'm not sure if I've mentioned my other dog, Molly. She can't handle the slightest amount of heat (cough cough bulldogs can't exist without our constant care because they are horribly inbred).
The plan was to leave her with a dogsitter while Leo, the gf and I hit the road for a week or so, meet up with some friends at Zion NP, maybe Death Valley on the way back, bought tickets for Omega Mart Vegas, etc.
Then this fucking heatwave looms, and we decided the guy's apt was going to be worryingly hot, so we cancelled on him and I backed out of the trip because Molly is already a handful without having to worry about her dying in the heat.
Yesterday was the hottest day on record in Seattle at 104. I have a thermometer in the window where I grow plants, and yesterday it registered a high of 124. Outdoor highs for today are projected for 110. So I dropped the gf off at the airport this morning, and it looks like the plan for the day is cold showers for all.
What I'm saying is expect bored posts because I blocked off a week and now it's just me and my wolfpack.

Strömavbrott i Stockholm!
Most of SW Stockholm is knackered because of a massive power cut. Wiped out traffic lights and the trams/trains.

re: Pango, regarding Olive Garden
When I was a young, poor vegetarian my friends and I would go to Olive Garden for cheap horrible pasta, the bottomless breadsticks and salad. 5/10, and only if you stole breadsticks for later.
I think the best way to picture it is that they do this whole thing where they serve some dishes in cast iron, and once we had a waiter that was fucking strung out. He came to the table with these scorching hot cast irons, but he forgot his pot holder.
Dude took a deep breath, and bare-handed them. "Sir, here's your OW OW OW OW OW OW linguine. Ma'am, here's your OW OW OWOW UGH".
The food is shit, but sometimes it's dinner and a show.
