So many questions, Cee Gee Why!

I've noticed that double post occur before when i'm typing uncomfortably on my laptop which is sitting on my chest as I'm lying prone on my bed.

[Saybrooke]

I learned I can make Saybrooke horny.

Lex

Yes! Keep the stories cumin

[goldenmoth]

I learned that scientists recorded the sound of a whale mimicking us, the human race and we come off as really obnoxious.

[Misaki]

I've learned that trying to cook foreign food will never be my specialty.

[belamo]

I heard the new president of Catalonia might go for separation and independence and that his aides took him away before he could finish his sentence.

The new one? If you mean Mas he is not new, and there are chances that loser might not be president again, just like the two previous elections in which his sorry dumb ass was put away from the government by the alliance of The Three Red Witches.
He is a total loser, with no talent, no power beyond that which he is allowed to have by Madrid, and whose plaiding for independence is not even something that his party actually stands for: that is why the old real independent party doubled its representatives. That man is a poor idiot and a political wreck: he and his thug-in-charge (Felip Puig) have done a lot of harm, but they are so pathetic, having won three elections before this one but having been able to govern only two years, and this last time not by political pressure from the opposing parties, but by self-choice: he kicked himself out of the government, but that's still something to be confirmed.

There, I did not want to write but, as always, I WOULD not resist.

Foreign to what?

[purina]

Catalonia - what a sad name.

[Misaki]

Sweden.

Although I did try to Americanize it that's probably why it didn't turn out like I'd hoped it would.

Catalonia - what a sad name.

Yep: hence its sad history... for all its past glories, in a far, far, far away past (sorry, but I still find it hard to use the feminine pronoun "her" to refer to those political chimaeras, rather than mere "abstractions", commonly called "nations").

[purina]

Of course another way to hear it is "Cat'll own ya", which is funny... 'cause it's true.

[belamo]

That's right, like when Spanish-speaking people find funny how when they read "USA" they read "use!", "Oregon" is almost exactly like "big-eared", or to Japanese "Ohio" sounds like "good morning".

[cgymike]

I have learnt that the expression "the grass is always greener" is pretty much true. People move for usually the wrong reasons.

Things are better and at the same time worse than they seem.

And still his party has 50 / 135 sieges. I don't know if they will, but they would have a majority with the right party (PP ?).

They are totally leperous, nobody will make up a government with them for fear of contagion... the point is how to effectively govern without actually, nominally being part of the government

[oakpope]

That would be the dream of many politicians I'm sure

By the way, glad that the constitutional court ruled against their plea to revoke marriage equality. They won't try again anytime soon.

[belamo]

Rather that of most the population: you could have a worthless idiot elected for the pomp without having to sawllow his decision-making crap... wait... all that has been being done already.

[Saybrooke]

I learned not to joke about who you love, cause the one you actually do love might leave you </3

[belamo]

So you learned that your beloved one is stjwpeed.

[belamo]

(Actually I realized it yesterday, but I count it as a today's acquisition). How fugly actually is the guy looking at us from the Hollister bags and "opening soon" ads: like the love child of John Enos III and a platypus... or that of Mike Jeffreaks with his post-surgical self. I mean the guy under all that heavy photobrushing>

[belamo]

That I am slow, I knew... but for the obvious..! I had the feeling that there was some issue pending about that Hollister pic: damn! the SoCal blond Frazzle head has been pasted on a different Jeffreak creature's body!

Those snotnoses are everywhere: there is such a high demand for them.

I wonder what their future might be in a couple of decades...

^You should hear him speak.

It sounds odd when an Asian man speaks in a hoddy-toddy English accent. I found it jarring.

kind of curious to hear his voice now.

[belamo]

Now I am curious as to how Bess Ler's voice sounds.

I've learnt that "Joseph Tailor" made a wall calendar.

[star-warrior]

I learned some interesting things about food science.

Anytime you smell food cooking out of the oven, or out of the soup/stock pot, that's flavor escaping from the food. Lower your food to a simmer, folks--180-190degrees. Do it now.

The problem with baked goods is harder to fix. One can buy a "stove-top oven" so that the air doesn't vent out, or a wood cook-stove.

All other modern-day ovens vent out the air, leaching flavor out of the food.

I learned that 12 most popular Christmas songs have been written by Jewish composers. I also learned that ass hair serves two functions:temperature/sweat regulation and creating spaced channels so your farts don't sound like vuvuzelas all the time.

[JayHawk]

I learnt that no matter how many chances someone is given some folks will choose to test the bounds and fail to learn a single thing.

Life is fleeting and enjoy the moment as it can be the last.

Never trust lemmings - they're predestined to jump off cliffs anyway.

Also, never forgive people that aren't willing to change.

Lemmings can swim.

[ChickenGuy]

You can't mention LEMMINGS without....


....bringing me some gaming nostalgia.

[MoufOfKhaos]

Lemmings can swim.

Walt Disney promulgated the lemming suicide lie in his movie White Wilderness.

Hey... shut up, it was a (poorly made) metaphor.

[Yuki Sohma]

More about schemas

[belamo]

The order in which I like Austen's novels, from favorite to less liked: Emma, Pride and Prejudice; Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey; Mansfield Park, Persuasion... although I am still open to consider inverting the order in the last group.
