There's some kind of race, that's about all I know. The race is a memorial fundraiser, so it's not even part of the story. Volume posted:I remember one time after they got running a race for breast cancer. Les was all "You know what I got on my mind?" and his current wife just looked heart broken because she knows he's thinking about his dead wife. She was just so broken and trapped in this enabling relationship. It's sad.  Shugojin posted:He's just going to keep piling up the ridiculous poo poo, then knock her out and threaten her "guide" into telling her it was all a fever induced hallucination. Why even bother? She gets back home and writes an article about this white guy who speaks perfect English, wears a purple super-hero costume, and lives in a hidden cave shaped like a skull in the middle of the most remote part of the jungle with a tribe of pygmies and has a hoard of rare and lost or near mythical treasures, and claims to be immortal and hundreds of years old. If anyone publishes it it'll be as fiction.

Love Story is a great piece of music attached to a poorly-written tearjerker, but I see your point about Kutcher's scrotum. Lio has a shameful secret: his father is aliiiive.

Midnight Moth posted:They do. It's just that whenever Steve Kelley goes out somewhere he prefers to only deal with the customer service clerks and not the machines so he can be a dick. I live in the Midwest and my bank's branches don't all have change counters, nor did the ones that do get them before a couple of years ago. gently caress dumping my change into the machine at the supermarket or whatever. The only commercial ones that I've seenre ones that take 10% off the top. When faced with that kind of usury, you had better believe I rolled me some coins.

Trilobite posted:Jesus, how long is he supposed to be taking to count 50 pennies, anyway? Is he polishing each of them or giving them all names or something? Seriously, I can't imagine it taking anyone longer than a minute to put together a roll of pennies, if that much. Yeah, no kidding. Just sort them into stacks/groups of five or something (can easily be done at a glance with no effort), then when you finish that count however many groups you have. Or, if you're putting them in rolls, sort the stacks of five into groups of ten stacks each as you work. It's easy, it's fast, it doesn't feel like much work at all. It's a zero-effort job you can do in minutes. Heck, I've sorted piles of mixed change faster than that. Unrelated, wow, Luann is actually going ahead with making Les the villain here, and in the stupidest way possible. This is terrible.

The small child lacks belt or braces and is requesting a pin to hold his trousers up with. The dawg is interested in the tree, or its contents.

Fingerpori Fok_It  February 5th is the birthday of Johan Ludvig Runeberg, the Swedish-speaking national poet of Finland. It's customary to eat Runeberg tortes which according to the legend were invented by his wife Fredrika. Apparently she did have a cookbook which had a similar recipe, so maybe it was just a variation using the ingredients she had at home at the time. A torte and a tart are both called a torttu in Finnish, and like I mentioned back in December it's also a colloqualism for "turd". The torte's line cuts off here before he manages to explain what "Fredrika Runeberg was the first one to" do, but the Finnish verb here was väänsi. Vääntää means "to twist" or "to wrench" (väänsi being 3rd person singular simple past), but it's often used as a flavor word for "to make/do something with effort". A fine verb for making a torte, but if we're talking about turds, a possible translation would be "to squeeze out". tiistai fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Feb 5, 2014 |

I was hoping Luann would improve when Evans' daughter took over but it actually managed to get worse. Slylock Fox  Dude, Lady Lynx is wearing a fur coat. A fur coat. Whether or not she took a hat is the least of your worries. Although the real answer is that Slylock is looking to chat up Lady Lynx later after saving her in her time of distress. Moose and Molly  Chester's reason for loving winter is pure spite toward his neighbor. Never mind that he can't use his pool himself, if Moose can't use it that's good enough for him.
