Random Thoughts X: Impromptu Interpretations

At least his ghost is kinda cute. I don't think I've ever seen a pumpkin with an expression like that.

Now he's going to change it away from the cute pumpkin.

I snagged it.

I've got "Shallow" stuck in my head.

Gentle evening, your road was long
Now darkness falls, you journey on
Your heart longing, your soul at peace
You know your way, and soon you’ll sleep
When you come home

Gentle nighttime, I count the stars
Waiting for you, you can’t be far
My heart listens, my spirit hears
The moon will light, my happy tears
When you come home

Gentle morning, stay here asleep
I’m by your side, you dream so deep
My heart beating, I hear yours too
Wondrous rhythm, for me and you
Now that you’re home

Random thought: I need to start collecting Mary's poetry.

So you can publish a chapbook and steal all the profits?

 

[Takhisis]

Are you accusing me of being Disney, sir?

The Ford Pinto led to the Iraq war.

The safety deficiencies in the Ford Pinto, and other cars, prompted Ralph Nader to publish Unsafe at Any Speed and turned him into a widely known consumer champion. Come 2000, his high profile and good showing in Florida cost Gore the election. With Gore in office, it is highly unlikely we would have gone to war with Iraq.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I grock that

People have successfully made a real connection between the size and shape of 20th-century USian spacecraft and Roman regulation roads so Ajidica's 100% on the money.

that one is actually a misconception since it assumes that railroads have always had the same track gauge, when they were only standardized after the US civil war

 

[amadeus]

The unfairly-maligned car of Unsafe was the Chevrolet Corvair; the Ford Pinto, infamous for its quizzical design choice of having its bumper made entirely out of dynamite, came out after Nader’s book.

Suggestion: multiple names for an effective coronavirus vaccine, each one tailored to a different demographic hesitant to receive a shot. This is a good way to increase compliance at low cost and low risk.

Spoiler :

“Ford F150 Bigpenis”

that one is actually a misconception (…)

tbh my comment was made in the same lines as how we should thank Mussolini for the Apollo project, which is, incidentally, a very old joke.

 

[Cutlass]

Is it weird that I'm using a grinding stone attachment on an electric drill to file away at callus on my foot?

 

[Takhisis]

I'd just take a long shower, or even better, a bath, to soak the callus thoroughly and have a go at it with a pumice stone.

 

[Synobun]

I have a handheld grater for my feet. Works great.

 

[Takhisis]

Ah, that's why you want a cellphone with US coverage. You want to move south and make America grate again.
