Nope. But everyone knows that gas mark 4 is a medium oven and you use gas mark 1/2 for meringues. Britain isn’t fully metric. We weigh people in stone and pounds. We buy pints of milk and measure distance in miles. Height is in feet and inches. Lots of people work in imperial for measurements still. When I went to primary school, we were taught exclusively in metric, but my mum cooked in imperial. I can’t visualise in imperial, but can in metric.

The "bring out your dead" sketch does not include a polite cough for requesting a tip.

The logic behind Prohibition was that it would only apply to the poor people. Not to nice people.

With God as my witness, I read that article to the paragraph above the '09 rant as Santorum, not Santelli. It all scanned.

Assholes like Santelli are wired differently than normal human beings. While the vast majority of real humans are concerned about the well being of their fellow man, to the likes of Santelli, Money is the end all and be all, and human beings are just a means from which to make Money. Losing a few thousand, or million, people to the virus is of little consequence as long as the Market continues to rise.

And for the most part, the same can be said for tRump and the GOP.

"which road I'll take?" You find a class, go to it. If you like it, keep going. Don't like it, find another class.

Your instructor should be able to guide you into getting deeper into your practice.

You can try acupuncture and see if that helps as well. I get it for my allergies and it really helps.

Has anyone ever tried their billionaire Hawaii luau style buried in hot rocks and coals, wrapped in banana leaves under burlap for a few hours?

It was terrible I agree. We were at the brink of the abyss. A worldwide economic collapse. It was more serious than people realize. Considering the depths of the crisis I think he did an amazing job of getting us back on course. And he had so much opposition because deficit spending was required. Now the repukes don't seem to care about the deficit at all and racist fatty mcfatpants takes the credit for the Obama recovery. It really makes me have hate in my heart.

Oh, man. That's ... that's ... poetic injustice.

Obama did a great job.

I got in touch with a Tea Party Facebook group a year ago to ask them when the next march on Washington over deficits was going to be. You'll be surprised to find out that they no longer cared about deficits. They wanted to talk to me about "school choice." That's code word for "I want your tax dollars to pay for my kid's private Christian education."
