I've recently figured out how the "have your cake and eat it too" phrase even works. It's not having a cake and then eating it, which is perfectly reasonable, it's trying to eat a cake but still have one at the same time

The problem is that people say "have your cake and eat it too" which doesn't make sense and is stupid when people should be saying "eat your cake and have it too"

When I was a child I spent most of my summers with my Italian grandparents. Every Saturday morning, my Nonno (grandpa) would take me to a snooker hall in little Italy. I always looked forward to these trips, because it meant a ride in his Cadillac and free reign of the snooker hall. As always there were 4 or 5 other Caddies in the parking lot, belonging to the other old men who would have their cappuccino and talk while I played endless hours of Mrs Pac Man and Street Fighter 2. You see, I could play as much as I wanted because the man who ran the snooker hall - which was always oddly empty - would just reach into the till and grab out handfuls of quarters for me.

That's the thing I remember the most, especially being small, are his hands. Despite the fact that he was missing several fingers, or just the tips of fingers, he could hold a lot more change than I could, so I had to be careful when he poured them into my hands. Then he would give me a hot chocolate and a cannoli, and off I went. The other thing I remember the most is that if you slapped all 6 attack buttons on player 1 of street fighter 2, you would change characters at random during combat.

This went on from the time I was very young, chin high to the snooker tables, until I could play on them properly. I didn't realize that I was hanging out with the mafia until about 5 years ago when I first told this story to a stranger...

its like the hallmark channel version of a bronx tale

Oh my GOD last week I was trying to pull apart a mozzarella cheese stick package, the kind that is like a slim Jim, and I spent a real five minutes trying to tear it in half at the top before I accidentally applied just a little force to the front face and found out the whole thing was seamed to open that way.

bite the side about half way down with your canine then pull down and rip it open. remove cheese easily and enjoy.

Red Hot Chili Peppers has a lot of really good songs and it is really narrow-minded to speak so broadly about a band whose oeuvre encompasses a wide spectrum of styles and themes, not to mention actual generations between now and when they started. Their old stuff sounds nothing like their new stuff; I personally don't like much of the new stuff, except I really did like that one song that was on Californication but wasn't Californication and wasn't Scar Tissue :\

Edit: by "new stuff" I mean Californication and on. jfc I'm showing my age and curmudgeonry.

Almost nothing pre californication gets played tho so they're really easy to hate until one of "their" good songs comes on

I might have just used the term "throwing" myself when being a silly little goose to my girlfriend. My friends and I have a gaming night, and I jokingly said we were "throwing bones" when she once asked me what games we play. I also made a craps-throwing motion.

She then corrected me that "bones" are dominos, not dice.

"High noon" (midday) isn't when the sun is at it's highest point in the sky, actual solar noon very rarely falls exactly on 12:00 and during some parts of the year in some parts of the world there might be more than an hour's difference between the two. It also occurs on a slightly different time every day

Not sure what you mean by "isn't when the sun is at its highest point" because that is exactly what it is. Its called "HIGH noon" because the sun is the highest and the shadows are the shortest.

I've asked three different people what the hell a "love language" is and I've gotten three very different responses. The term is definitely popular, but I didn't know it came from a book and I bet the three people I know who regularly use this term don't know it came from a book either.

The only podcast I've ever listened to is/was called books that kill iirc and they had a whole episode on the love language book and I found it very enjoyable
