A little misreading

b1-66er: I'm eating a nuts and berries combo
"best before 6/29/18"

Special K0: "still not ok in 2021"

9.3.21

One of these days, Alexi... One of these days

b1-66er: Oh man.


***

b1-67er: Interesting. Russia has the capability. China has the cash and will.  And they both want to stick their finger in the eye of the US.  They will get it done.

Special K: Wow.

b1: If those guys become pal-y, our days are numbered.

K: On the MOON!

b1: Thanks, Ralph Kramden.

K: I knew that sounded familiar.

b1: "The show ran for just one season of 39 episodes from 1955 to 1956" !
I find that borderline unbelievable.

K: There were also skits on the Jackie Gleason show. 
That's what I remember. Must have gone on longer.

b1: 'Dedicated in August 2000, this New York roadside attraction was the first of several sculptures of characters and actors from classic television series that the cable television station TV Land has commissioned since the early 2000s and dubbed "TV Land Landmarks."'
They got everything right, but the name...
TV Land-marks

K: Perfect.


8.3.21

Anybody got a bag of quarters?

Sweet Rolls: 0-3, Two lives remaining!  Close match. He played like the GM he is...

b1-66er: And you had...
... Not quite sweet enough rolls.

SR: PR 6.1 me, 2.1 him

b1: Lordy.
At least you're not on the "Lose in 5 Years"
plan.

SR: My "luck factor" in the 3 matches:  -5.0, -3.2, -4.5

b1: When I first read that, I thought it said
fuck factor
Shows what's happened to MY mind.

SR: Rough interpretation is # of points won due to luck in 13-point match.
 But I've been outplayed all three matches, so no gripes

b1: GOOD MAN, SWEET ROLLS!

SR: My odds of winning the tournament now must be around my odds of death by vending machine. 

b1: Time for a Kit Kat!

SR: Huh, it's in one of those old cigarette-style pull machines...oh well

b1: If you're creative enough...
... There are MULTIPLE ways to die by vending machine.
(and that's not even including the Yakuza.)

6.3.21

Oh, just get me a shovel!

Special K: I love the ktxt empire. 

b1-66er: I'm glad you do.
We've built the best single bucket sand castle on the World's Largest Beach.
It claims to be nothing...
... And it's extremely close to that.

K: Perfect description. 

... with a side of your supposed aubergine ...

b1-66er:  "...Two large pizzas, three salads, and a so-called taco cost $114.76. Including tip."

Special K: I love "so-called taco". 

b1: I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!
I still completely appreciate the phrase
It's a borderline ultimate insult...
..."You and your so-called taco."

K: Agreed. 

b1: You should try to casually drop that into your next conversation with Momma K.

K: As appropriate. 
I also like saying au contraire.

b1: It must sound especially quaint in your Yiddish-American accent.

4.3.21

I forget if you're heads or tails

b1-66er: "About 50% of people who intend to change their behavior fail to do so."

F3mbot: Count me in that 50%

Nozzling in

b1-66er: "Susan Lucci, 74, sizzles poolside in a white swimsuit"

Special K: Call the fire department!
