Yeah- dark meat is definitely better, but the American consumer by far prefers chicken breast. My wife won't eat dark meat. But I also know from my kids that work at grocery stores, that they have trouble selling the dark meat because of the overwhelming popularity of chicken breast. Which is why wh...

Kyle

I try to judge how correct my answers are by how well they match the expressions. In this case, I was sure I was off, because Garfield looked amused. The only way he's amused is if Jon has humiliated himself. But in context, that expression says, "Good one, bro." Because bonding over miso...

Bingo! Another strip that didn't age well.

No one's really close, but I chose this one for such a lazy punchline.

Kyle

Mike nails it! And what a good memory. The only reason I included this is because I thought the punchline didn't make sense.

Kyle

So Facebook now has an AI that lets you create images. I was screwing around with it for an hour this morning to try to come up with some surreal images. It was pretty fun, but as I got done, I realized that even though I don't know where I'm going with these pictures as I'm fine-tuning them, when I...

Kyle

Fucking ridiculous. So now if you’re critical of Israel killing Gazans, then you’re a safety risk and not allowed to exercise your first amendment rights. Fucking bullshit.

Kyle

Yeah- I do the same thing. I say "LAHT-in" with a de-emphasized "t". But the phenomenon I'm talking about puts a full stop of breath in the middle "Lah. [slight pause]. In."

Kyle

I was talking with another lawyer in my office and we realized that, while we are both Gen-X, we're outnumbered by Millennials three-fold. We have a bunch of young lawyers. How much do you buy into generational differences? While I tend to think they're horseshit, there is something to the fact that...

Kyle

I forgot to post up at the end (because it was the end). I did great! I stuck to it and lost 9 pounds! Now I'm eating reasonably and on a good track to eating healthier!

Kyle

TAY-Luhr And on this dropping of t's in the middle of words- it's all over Youtube. I'm really wondering where it originated. Also, I learned a couple of weeks ago that in parts of Pennsylvania they say "Yinz" as a form of "You all." I like that. I use "y'all" all the t...

Kyle

Interesting side note, I was watching a youtube video earlier this week that talked about weird Texas accents and one of the accents was the "Hill Country" accent (I live in the Texas Hill Country northwest of Austin). It pointed out that these weirdos pronounce the end of days as "de...

Kyle

Is one Tay-lur, and one Tay-lore? No- they insist that one is Tay-eh-lore and the other is Tay-lore. Honestly, at this point I just say it the same way twice (Tay-lore) just to fuck with them, and then they go bat shit convinced I said it two ways. Edit: Now that I think about it, with my Texas acc...

Kyle

How dark is this? And it shows the cultural shift on mental health and suicide. Back in 1988, this was considered safe, "soft" humor. I don't think it would be received as well today.

Kyle

No one was close, but Mike gets the funniest post.

Kyle

Yeah- we have an ongoing bit in our house where my kids insist that "tailor" and "Taylor" (as in Swift) are pronounced completely differently. I can't hear it. But they are adamant.

Kyle

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed to CNN that it carried out a strike on Al-Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza on Tuesday — which killed 14 people, including eight children. The IDF said it is unaware of the number of casualties. The Israeli military’s response came 48 hours after CNN first reached out...

Hahahahaha!

Kyle

Also- all of my kids say "clothes" with a very audible "th" sound, and I pronounce it "close" (as in "close the door"). We constantly argue about who sounds stupider.

Kyle

Other ones I heard in my audiobook this morning:

gotten
forgotten
smitten
important

And now that I think about it, this is the same narrator that's read three books this year that I've listened to on audible. That might be influencing my perception of its prevalence.

Kyle

Yeah- it's just the first example I could think of.

"Written" is the one I now remember hearing most often.

Kyle

Akiva gets double points for the funniest entry so far in the history of the game!

Kyle

Okay. I started a new thread. Is it me or are young people dropping the hard "t" sound in the middle of words at a quickly accelerating rate? How do I describe it? Instead of saying cotton as "Cot-ton" they say "Ca-un". To be clear, I'm not complaining and it doesn't bo...

Can we talk about language stuff? I know you're into it, but can we talk? Should I start a new thread? We should start a new thread.

I think Mike was the closest, but Eli is the funniest.

Day 3- 5 am. Lost 0.8 pounds. Last night was hard, but I maintained my liquid integrity. Around 8pm I started getting really hungry and thinking about the things I could eat if I broke the fast. This was complicated by the fact that my allergies are crazy right now and I feel a little crappy. This w...

Kyle

Day 2- Noon. Still feeling great and not hungry. But honestly, I've had an unexpected appointment and a new emergency case dropped on me this morning on a day where I had already planned out a bunch of stuff I needed to get done. So I might not be hungry just because I'm so busy.

Kyle

I'm interested to know how much water weight you've lost. Like I posted in my thread- mine was pretty significant.

Kyle

Day 2- 5:34 am. This is going great! I'm debating extending it for a couple of days! I mean, my wife is camping at the beach with a bunch of homeschoolers until Saturday, so when's a better time than now? While I know this isn't realistic, it's the genuine mindset that I'm in right now. Why all the ...

I've always kind of thought that people that accumulate excess wealth are either consciously or unconsciously going through an immoral shift. And it's not limited to billionaires, but also people with multiple millions of dollars. This has recently been anecdotally confirmed for me by my son, who do...

Kyle

I'm going to say Eli wins with his second entry. But honestly, I found Jim Davis' original punchline pretty funny.

Kyle

Day 1- 11:35 am.

Feeling pretty good about this. I'm not hungry and my nine o'clock smoothie is keeping me satisfied! I tried a glass of juice and it was good, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to drink the entire 59oz container today. I've got this y'all!

Kyle

It's not really a juice fast, but I'm going on a "liquid" diet for three days. Background- my 22 year old son tried and failed to do a three day water fast last week. He made it 36 hours and had to quit. I told him this weekend, if he wanted, I'd do a "juice fast" with him. I tol...

Kyle

GUESS AGAIN! None of these are close AND I think the original is funniest (so far).

Mike wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 1:28 pm Yes. Which was the joke I originally posted (but in a very different form). Then I thought it was so stupid I came up with the one up above, and made myself less on the nose. And still not funny.

This is your problem- twice now this has happened to you. Go with your gut.

Kyle

I chose this one because I don't really get what's funny about it. This makes me stupider just to ask the question but: what's the joke here? Is it that Garfield is the echo instead of the one seeking an echo?

Kyle

I guess Mike wins?
