Today it occurred to me that combination locks should be called permutation locks, and it's annoying the poo poo out of me.

Squids have ten limbs, but annoyingly still only eight legs, as the other two are tentacles.

Wait, when you bite things is it supposed to make there be more of the thing?

Have...have I been doing it wrong all this time?

No, that part I get. It's the seeing it as a rooster that I can't fathom.

But I'm on a smartphone, so maybe it looks different on a computer, like you said.

It's a stretch, but if the people checking the box are doing it specifically to cause the people who know that there are people checking the box pain, then the people checking the box are sadists.

Always thought "This little piggy went to market" was a pun

I give up. How?

Presumably as pigs are taken to market to be sold/butchered, but as the other piggies are doing things like having/not having roast beef there's the humor of it going off to market to do the daily shopping.

That's not a pun.

The fun part of that is learning that we use the term “fridge” not as a short form of refrigerator, but because of the brand name Frigidaire. Or the term at least became popular because of the brand.

I hate that neither refrigerator not Frigidaire have a D before the G, but fridge does.

Ah yes because mail-order famously didn't exist before the Internet.

So your stance is that if I am arguing with somebody about the lyrics of Blinded By the Light I need to get a mail order book catalogue, order a book with a listing of books that have lyrics, order one of those books, then look up the lyrics?

Truly that's identical in ease and speed to googling on my phone.

Judging by your marvelous posts it couldn't hurt.

My mistake. I didn't realize you were posting entirely in bad faith. I'll avoid conversing with you like a rational human in the future.

My bad. I knew he was doing a gimmick, but I thought he'd at least maintain the veneer of polite conversation.

I'll do better in the future.

My church as a kid passed around trays with little plastic shot glasses. Grape juice was in the middle and wine was around the outside.

I think I just figured out that in American football a "pick six" is a pass interception resulting in a touchdown.

If your "I think" is because you aren't sure you're correct, I can confirm you are. "Pick" is a synonym for an interception, and the "six" is for the touchdown portion.

"Pick six" sounds like a way to bet on one of those lottery games where they draw several numbered ping pong balls for the winning numbers.

It is, in several states.

It's people like that who make you realize how little you've accomplished. It's a sobering thought, for example, that, when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.

They just released a song about George Floyd, and it is very not good. Unless you like cringe in which case it's great.

Are you gonna recommend barbers?

As a fellow chubby guy who let his hair grow out during quarantine I feel an intervention is in order.
