From Merriam-Webster: "Sometimes the pig is happy in mud, and sometimes it is muck that brings joy to the porcine heart. In the 1860s it was common to see happy as a pig in clover, or happy as a pig in a puddle. The important thing is, should you have a pig, that you figure out what causes this...

Okay but if you need your enthusiasm to be tempered just remember he was one of the many full adults at that time having sex with 15-year-old girls.

To the extent that these songs continued to be played on the radio or are from huge artists, then I know them, but oddly I have no clue what a lot of this pop music from my teenage years is supposed to be. By this point I was listening to something totally different. Whereas the pop music when I'm 1...

Apparently my therapist can sense through the ether that I'm a troubled soul because he actually called AND emailed to see if I happen to want to see him, since my approach is generally to drop in once in a blue moon for a quick Band-Aid and then jump back into the trench. Y'all, don't be calling hi...

Phoebe

It's not just that we needed the audiobook autobiography of John Oates; it's that we needed Kyle's recap of the same. It's better than reading the book.

Phoebe

I do not know how to say the -s- in Illinois. Is it like Mayonnaise or a dudebro saying Noice! ? Yes we should try to say the place names correctly like they say it in the place - why not? If you don't know how, then OK, but if enough people did it then it might spread around that way. People are a ...

Phoebe

Don't we have a movie thread somewhere? Anyway it turned out that the show I had been starting to watch is a movie! It is called I Care a Lot, how about that? But most importantly, One of the villains of our story is played by Peter Dinklage, and he is all the things at once: hilarious, intense, omi...

The pondering IS the action!

Phoebe

Have had the song Convoy in my head for a few days now, which is hilarious and great but also a ridiculous mental state that should not be further encouraged by linking it. Instead, I will observe we once had a President whose favorite music was this:

Phoebe

I find this vaguely irritating as well. More pet peeves in the category of pet: I really hate it when people let their dogs roam off leash, in areas where it's not appropriate to do this, because they so sincerely believe their dog is a great dog who would never do anything wrong. Well that's nice. ...

Phoebe

And why should they be ashamed? If it meant sacrificing the music it would be one thing, but they kept pushing out the catchy tunes. I like the BTS embraces this about themselves as well - if your goal is to bring joy and comfort to people through your music and you have a positive message of inclus...

Phoebe

I am told the ship of Theseus comes into this thing and now it's all over and I need to pay to watch.

Phoebe

Aha, I see! Stan's looks pretty promising in that regard. I like this one because of the phenomenal title - can you imagine a better title for just about anything? - but also because at least one of the songs he wrote is my favorite Who song, and it's amusing when you've got these great geniuses wri...

Phoebe

Anyone except the people who share a toothbrush or never even got to the point of toothbrush relevance!

But seriously I think their songs do have this universal appeal and it's interesting that they put some intention behind it.

Is tonight one of our night? I can probably do it. I will have to be doing some other things while it's going on but I can probably do it. I'm so behind at this point I need help to like get my character sheet up to date. I have all these thoughts about the RP part of it and I'm lagging at doing the...

She's Gone is nice, yeahhhh! It's kind of hilarious that it's about a person he dated one time and failed to date the second time, when you assume it's some kind of big relationship thing, lol!

Phoebe

:D I get myself into a horizontal position and attempt to grasp my hugger pillow before I actually pass out cold. It takes usually less than 5 to 10 seconds. 20 seconds at the outside. Sometimes I fall asleep to the sound of my own inner voice of the mind saying things like, "I hear the commoti...

Finished typing, felt vaguely bolstered by getting it all shook out, and decided to make renewed efforts to resolve work task. Work task was then interrupted for no reason at all when computer failure occurred, not on my end. So, I had been trying to obtain a washing machine. The earliest I can get ...

Phoebe

It's going to be weird after this for a long while, for sure. Apparently the anniversary effect has cropped up with respect to the pandemic, too, and various people who were doing OK are kind of losing their shit lately as they run across whatever their own personal version of Quarantine, Day 1 regi...

Phoebe

Wow, I still loathe that song as much as ever! Re: Pete information above, noted with pleasure and I accept it's a friendly Pandoras sendup of Bangles. As opposed to DESTRUCTION! But I enjoy it. The Bangles are like the fluffy, fancy version of the snarly, snarky Pandoras. That's my take anyway. Sel...

She snatched her own wig off so she can do whatever.

Phoebe

The agoraphobia thing is real. One of my kids is deeply averse to going out of the house for almost any reason. Going for a drive is okay as long as there's no danger of having to go through a drive-thru or end up in a place where there are people. This is not bode well for going back to places wher...

Since I have to sweep and mop my floor multiple times throughout the day if I don't want to live in abject filth, I decided to take matters into my hands. I spend an hour last night washing the dog, a task that required every bit of my mental and physical and emotional resources to accomplish, by lu...

Phoebe

Whoa! I did not imagine that the beginnings of Hall & Oates were so violent!

Phoebe

Ooof, so sad. Musically it grows on you and is well suited to the lyrics, but those sad lyrics!

Since I am fighting the anxiety right now, I will attempt the 540 on this:

Phoebe

Who Are The Options, STAN? Who? You have to read his comment in the most passionately urgent tones as well. I read DMDarcs suggestion to him. I don't think he stopped replying at all; I just went off to do a load of laundry by hand in the sink and missed the rest.

Phoebe

Morning is still awaited. Where are you, morning? Bathed the dog and was so exhausted by the effort that I fell asleep as soon as he laid down after, so now I'm up and wishing someone would appear with coffee and a poached egg.

Phoebe

Message from the Scarlet Witch kid: "That's why there's a movie called multiverse of madness that's going to come. I knew a lot of these things but not all. I think Wanda's power is very extreme. If there are other Nexus beings, would they be able to create alternate universes? I'm not sure she...

Phoebe

That's pretty much what I'm hearing from my local experts. At one time they were pretty optimistic about next fall; that has shifted to pessimism for the reasons Mike states above and others. They're desperately trying to vaccinate people enough to get protective benefit before other strains rear up...

Phoebe

Twitter is such a place of rage but the truly terrifying form of social media is that next door neighbor app. My God is that a window into the suburban life and mindset! A lot of wackadoodle angry dudes on that site, and the Karening! I'm not fond of that term because I feel like it's been co-opted ...

So I have attempted to figure out if I can reuse my pedestal. This system is not designed for people to reuse their pedestal, let me tell you that much. These f****** do not want you to reuse that pedestal; they want you to spend $300 for a new pedestal. So now the question is whether I am capable o...

Okay just CLOSE THIS THREAD DOWN I have finally come to the light that WANDA VISION and its associated thread is in fact SCARLET WITCH VISION. My god, the stupidity level is off the charts, and here Pete is like, duh, rap-ture. You guys, no. WANDA VISION. I had no idea that was why. Dum.

I just want to add how much I love the green forums, how nice they are, how much I would like to give money to the cause of them (how do we support their upkeep? Check to you? PayPal?), and how much this is the superior social media site for all time. I wish I could bring like 24 middle aged ladies ...

We went The Kyle Way(TM) with our new washer and dryer, not the cheapest, not the top of the line, but moderate. The one bauble we got (that my wife wanted) is that they are WiFi-enabled, so they can send a notification when the cycle has completed. Since our laundry room is in the basement, out of...

Phoebe

I don't know - my kid is all exercised about it. Scarlet Witch is his favorite. She can open up alternate real universes. This is god-level s***, but beyond the powers of gods like Thor and Loki; it's actual creator god level s***. But apparently the true nature of the Infinity Stone has something t...

Phoebe

Why is Scarlet Witch sooooooo ridiculously powerful? And why would it be connected to Doctor Strange? I am concerned about this revisionist history plan for her.

Phoebe

This type of thing happens to me weekly. It's a sign of your flourishing.

Why theeeeee %$%(* is this "music" constantly still played on the radio? It's 2021 and at times I have had THREE DIFFERENT STATIONS playing this crap at the same time. What on earth. Why. I am not a fan. If we want to pluck up such hits for constant radio re-airing, well, we have Hall and ...

Phoebe

Muahahahahaaaaa appeasement! YES WE MUST HAVE BOY WITH LUV! However, this is another of my favorite 2019 songs from radio, apparently underrated by the world despite being some sort of post-dated precursor to Coil's Are You Shivering? - but for about a year I could turn on the radio and instantly su...

I have been up since 6:30, yet in these hours the number of things I have accomplished that would aid my own personal to-do-list cause has been approx Zero. I did have a cup of coffee! I was very proud of myself, so proud, for getting my kid to school this morning ONLY ten minutes late, when you put...

Phoebe

That is nice of them, although it has a certain "ghost haunting you" vibe, like they are going to keep singing after the grave and I don't know that I want a zombie chorus checking in regularly. But then again, I'm not a fan and maybe their fans do want this! Now that things have taken thi...

I thought I wrote a whole review of this last night. Hmmm. Netflix was pressing upon me a particular show with great urgency, because it was the number one trending show of the US blah blah blah: Ginny and Georgia. I have doubts about whether it's really the number one show on Netflix because I am u...

Since the thread is called pet peeves, uh, this entire 3-month period when the yard is like a soggy sponge made of mud, with a delicate veneer of poo on top. Does anyone have a realistic solution for this? Can I put a small water trough outside the door and just dip them in bodily each time they com...

Continuing on the journey of low-carb food: now you can easily get 10 carb tortillas (gross carbs, I don't go by net at all in this situation until something has proven that it's fiber works like that), three carb Greek yogurt, variations, and quite decent lower carb pasta made out of edamame or bla...
