When i was a kid, my next door neighbors had the most awful children. One of them came over once with FTW scrawled on his forehead with a Bic. I asked him what it meant, and he raised both middle fingers and screamed "fuk th' worrrrrld!!!" Kid was like three, days-old boogers encrusted all over his face. So yeah, FTW confuses me too.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:I'd say 85% of ordinary men have dry balls. Spit on them, slap some lotion on them, olive oil, Pam, whatever--moisturize your balls, gentlemen. I knew a farmer whose fingertips split open from a combination of wear-and-tear and chronic dryness; ball sacks are capable of doing the same thing, given sufficient desiccation. You might be taking a seat or trying to ollie off of a roof, and then bam, your nutsack splits in twain like a rotten banana skin and a bunch of mush and something that looks like Krang (from TMNT) comes slithering out. Take heed to this cautionary tale, folx, mine shattered into thousands of pieces and just floated away like dust in the wind... I'm taking freeballin' to a whole new level, friends

Bertrand Hustle posted:It may well last longer if you use the screwdriver because reversible belts are poorly constructed trash and the buckle inevitably snaps off sooner or later. I have never had one last even a year. The belt I had was garbage in that the belt itself fell apart, like there was a layer of "leather" covering one side to make up the brown portion, and it peeled off in big scab-like flakes. That's what I get for being poor I guess.

TapTheForwardAssist posted:I took a class in Greek and Latin roots my very first semester of college, and it's probably one of the best academic bangs for the buck I've ever gotten. If anyone has GRE/SAT/etc coming up, bone up on your classical roots and your ability to recognize vocabulary will increase dramatically. I've found that kind of stuff to be helpful in teaching A&P to freshmen trying to get into the university's nursing program.

My cousin was at that show, pretty close to the stage, he may have even been acquainted with Dimebag, I don't know. I think he's got a degree of PTSD from it, he started drinking more heavily since then and his marriage fell apart.

The Compose key is something in GNU/Linux in which, when holding down a certain key (I usually set it to right Ctrl or Menu), you can type a character using a key combination. All of those moon letters, like å, ö, ø, ç, ñ, and so on are pretty easy to throw together (o+a, "+o, /+o, ,+c, and ~+n, respectively). Still need to know unicode inputs for things like Greek or Cyrillic characters, and there's still no n-with-umlaut for properly typing Spinal Tap

When I was like four, I was reading with my mom [The Adventures of Egbert the Easter Egg if anyone cares], and I came across the word “vague”, and she kept correcting my pronunciation, but since she didn’t explain that the “-ue” was silent, I kept screwing it up, getting increasingly frustrated. She never did explain it.
