Howdy, Y'all fellow americans!
  • Something about the simple elegance of "Todd Bonzalez" gets me every time.

  • Leave some degrees for the rest of us
  • I don't know -- but, if so, put me down as cynical or oblivious, too.

  • Taskmaster Series 17, Episode 10 - 'Ambience and information.' | Full Episode
  • I'm just annoyed that Rhys James isn't on it yet!

  • Taskmaster Series 17, Episode 10 - 'Ambience and information.' | Full Episode
  • It's always sad when a series ends, and they seem to go by so fast. I do always look forward to seeing how the next cast will do, though.

  • Series 17, Episode 9 - 'Assistantbury.' | Full Episode
  • Poor Nick was so optimistic about his bath pearls!

  • Torresian Crows (Corvus orro) - Kedron Brook, Brisbane, Australia - May 2024
  • Their eye color is so light -- it looks like they have googly eyes.

  • Series 17, Episode 7 - 'Dream date territory.'
  • Very happy that Nick finally won an episode.

  • Bunny Zoomies
  • Almost impossibly cute.

  • How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals
  • lash out in anger and destroy the people that make them feel that way

    Small correction: "... destroy the people that they think make them feel that way".

  • Series 17, Episode 5 - 'Snooker cue umbrella chin.'
  • I almost injured myself laughing during Nick's "tie yourself to the cot" attempt.

  • Taskmaster Series 17, Episode 3 - 'Some impropriety?'
  • How many times per episode do you find yourself saying "Poor Nick"? I think I average around 3.

  • puns
  • My favorite.

  • Chonkebeasts!
  • Absolute units.

  • I'm maybe older than you, but I've got some wisdom.
  • You are younger than me.

    What's something the 50-something-year-old knows that the 40-something-year-old doesn't, and what does the 40-something-year-old know that you don't?

  • P​​
  • This picture makes me deeply uncomfortable. (Edited: dumb typo.)

  • Enough IS enough
  • insert dril tweet here

  • What's your favourite milk alternative?
  • Oat milk for me, too. I've found there's quite a bit of variation between brands, though. I like the thicker, creamier varieties that have just a touch of sweetness.

    The rice milk I've tried has been largely flavorless; soy milk has that "soy milk" flavor that I don't hate, but I'm not really into; and the nut milks I've tried (especially almond milk) have an odd, slight sourness that I find really unpleasant. I'd like coconut milk more if it tasted more coconutty.

  • I "won" a 5-gal. aquarium kit. Recs for stocking it?

    It doesn't look like a particularly high-quality aquarium set, but all the necessary parts seem to be there. Even before getting this thing, I've thought about keeping dwarf frogs. Would a 5-gal. tank be big enough for two or three of them? If not, what would you suggest? I've kept aquariums before, but it's been a very long time and I know myself well enough to know that I need something relatively low-maintenance.

    Any recent purchases or orders you're waiting for?

    I went nuts last night and ordered a zillion Deconstructing Eden samples. Well, that's an exaggeration -- it was 9 (not an actual zillion). I've never tried anything from them before, though, so that feels a little risky. Here's what I picked: Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, Green Man, Haunted, Alyssum House, Naamah, Lena, Poseidon. (See if you can spot the patterns!) I'm excited for the order to arrive and to try these out!

    What language do you wish you could speak (and/or read)?

    I wish I could speak Finnish. But, actually, there are tons of languages I wish I could speak. All of them, really, but Finnish is the first one I thought of just now.

    I'm in the US and English is my my primary language. I studied Russian but have forgotten a lot of it. I know a few words of German and French, but very few.

    Edited to add: Please tell me what your primary language is. It would also be interesting to know what other languages you speak, if any, and where you currently live.
