Praising maple leaves of iron

b1-66er: "Neil Young Gifts Entire Music Archive to Every Greenland Resident"

D4rw1n: An obvious geopolitical gambit to curry favor for the nefarious Canadian empire  

... It all comes out in the end ...

b1-66er: In FL--...When officers tried to detain Wang, she started defecating toward officers in an attempt to avoid being arrested...

D4rw1n: Hmm that's a shit tactic 

Better get the string...

b1-66er: "The likelihood your friends are line dancing is high"

Special K: More likely that my friends are high.

The quiet above all the tin...

b1-66er: Ms. Amusement/Accomplice

I fear for the future. 

NOT because I live in the world's most heavily armed country...

... but because, upon inspection, the Trader Joe's smoked mussels in my salad today are not from Korea...

... But rather Chile.

Ms. A: I'm on my way to TJs right now to investigate...

b1: Report back. 

(Be willing to physically defend yourself as necessary.)

좋지 않은 소식이 있어요...

They actually taste very good 

...당국에 신고하세요.

b1: I'm leaning toward inner peace. 

Thank you for your surveillance.

MS A: 🇰🇷

b1-66er: https://www.npr.org/2025/12/28/nx-s1-5651272/mass-market-books-are-disappearing-from-grocery-store-racks

...

D4rw1n: That's a great piece. I didn't notice when it happened that wire racks of books went away. But I did notice _that_ it happened

...

b1-67er: How about the Paramount Pharmacy magazine rack? Actually pretty damn impressive. 

66: I know. 

I actually bought two books from it.

67: I still have a surprising knowledge of marijuana horticulture (High Times Magazine), and continuing disappointment in CDs (high fidelity electronics) due to reading those magazines waiting to be picked up from work.

You can say that agian

b1-66er: 

Smokey: It's a Bad Day at Koan Rock. 

I think Spenser Tracy was in that

Or his brother Spencer Tracy.
