My definition of it is to emit any type of involuntary bodily excretion.
And since that's the first use of it as a verb (transitive, involuntary, hahaha), afaik, rather than the common noun, that is definitively what it fucking means.
Now, if you'd like a demonstration, please step over to the booth with that friendly fellow waving at you.

And seriously... what is it with the scones? Was there a point in history when someone in England ordered a biscuit, said, "I don't believe this is dry or crusty enough! I need the thick, rock-hard texture of a cracker, but the mouth-filling bulk of a nice moist biscuit!
Gavin, return to the kitchen and bake this biscuit until it has less moisture than Mars dust! Quickly! I have a bicuspid that sorely requires a hairline fracture!"
Oh, but then you have the cup of Earl Gray to dunk it in. What a delightful treat. News flash: how about cooking food that's edible on its own without any "treatment"?
tripleg » neu 10 months ago
is mad preserved food. cf-hardtack
willt » neu 10 months ago
Fie upon your inability to enjoy such a superlative foodstuff. Fie!
Srsly though, scones shouldn't be like that - it should be as moist and creamy as ... well, a maiden's thigh, I suppose. Maybe America didn't cook it quite right. (Makes sense, that's what happened with chocolate....)
dueledge » neu 10 months ago
I'm not sure you can really say they make chocolate "wrong". It's actually us British who changed the formula for our chocolate during WW2 due to shortages, and its far more sugary than it really should be (even if it does taste better). America didn't need to change their formula becuase they turned up so late.
willt » neu 10 months ago
This does not explain why Hershey Kisses taste like cheese.
theguitarhero » neu 10 months ago
That's because Hershey's is lowest denominator chocolate. Chocolate for the masses.

Although if you are eating Hershey Kisses and it tastes like cheese, you might want to go to a doctor because I'm pretty sure that's a stroke signifier.
willt » neu 10 months ago
/tastebud signifier.
un_malpaso » neu 10 months ago
Hershey's Kisses truly are the lowest. Basically, Hershey's milk chocolate tastes like grease with some burned charcoal for flavoring. And the kisses give me mad squirts... not surprising since they are shaped like little drops of poo.

Ah, I love these digressions

American chocolate is wrong. British chocolate is different. European chocolate is canonical.

I think that Mayan chocolate is canonical actually.

On that note I have a bar of Green and Black's Maya Gold (65% dark with orange and spices) in the other room and I feel I might be in need of a few squares.

Oh and on a somewhat related note no matter how desperate you are never, ever try to make brownies with olive oil when you run out of vegetable oil. Just... don't.
theguitarhero » neu 10 months ago
I only eat chocolate that has been given as an offering to Quetzalcoatl.

I hate bergamot oil. That's the weird taste in Earl Grey. Bergamot oil. It even sounds bad, and bad for you.
vheissu » neu 10 months ago
What kind of scone did you have? Christ! Scones are best enjoyed straight from the oven with some Devonshire cream and some jam, and they should have a firm but soft exterior and warm, soft, thick interior. It is nothing like a cracker if done properly.
belgand » neu 10 months ago
I think this problem is self-correcting. By insulting scones they are also being denied scones. Never to eat another scone is... I wouldn't request that punishment on all but the most vile.
lawbot » neu 10 months ago
An american "biscuit" is not a biscuit. It is a degenerate scone. Also, scones are not hard or very crusty. I think you have confused them with some dog shits you found lying on the pavement.

foea » neu 10 months ago
I got it as a gift, no knowing how much I was setting someone else back. One or two episodes per disk, total rip-off by A&E.
theguitarhero » neu 10 months ago
You can get it for 40 bucks used on Amazon, and of course it's way cheaper there too.

But seriously, 100 bucks for the SUPER BIG ASS COLLECTOR'S EDITION with no alternatives? Bad move. I rarely use the special features on stuff.
foea » neu 10 months ago
The special feature suck, to boot. There is an "Interactive Village Map" on *each disk*. Same map, each disk. Also, there is a scholarly discussion about the proper episode order, but it is printed on the DVD cases themselves. It's shitty, but typical of things that originally showed on PBS.
theguitarhero » neu 10 months ago
That's lame.

I'm still getting it for myself for my birthday since I'm coming into a ton of money over the summer.
belgand » neu 10 months ago
Why are you doing that? It seems like a poor idea both for sexual release and finance. Also, why is this happening in the summer? Do you need to save up for it to be a large enough pile to be considered erotic?

I was going to guess something involving Dracula and purple pumps, but I guess I was wrong.

Personally, I wonder when we're going to see Molly's breasts, what with her sleeping in the nude and all. It's not like we haven't seen plenty of balls and rock-hard cat cock, after all.
spectre » pro 10 months ago
You realize Molly's a cat -- she has six breasts.
pointy_stick » neu 10 months ago
I'm hoping that if Onstad were to show us perky cat titties, he'd digress from reality like he's done so far with the entire series.

If Molly does indeed have 6 breasticles located on her lower abdomen, then why hasn't it ever shown any other strips?

I'm not letting this go until my demands are met.

The same thing as all men: a blowjob in the morning, a chorizo-based meal for dinner, and a trip to the all-you-can-anal (and make your own sundae) bar for dessert.

You show me a man who does not want that and I will show you a dead husk who may or may not be lactose intolerant.

breakfast is a foreign concept to me. today i woke up at 10 and had leftover hamburger helper and a lite beer (read: no girlfriend). can i go to a bed and breakfast where i get a meal like that?

prediction: beef goes into a fantasy of opening a b&b that is acceptable for dudes. in the living room he can sell his cards.
lordparadise » neu 10 months ago
Bed and Breakfast for Dudes would be tough.

I mean, it couldn't be Lyle-level dirty, but it also couldn't be so clean that the tenants are constantly aware of the fact that it has been cleaned.

Basically that same philosophy would apply to the cooking. Ideally the host would just subtly ensure that there are plenty of leftovers from dinner that are still sitting on the counter when the tenants wake up, so that they can munch without it becoming a thing.

Fridge has nothing but bacon and the ingredients to a bloody Mary. There are also garlic heads.

The living room has a comfortable but annoyed golden retriever/lab mix named Chuck. Chuck mostly just sleeps.

There is a table to the side of the coffee table just for empties. Both tables are mostly covered by empties.

I believe all one would really need is a smokey English tavern/Irish pub which did not close and had rooms consisting solely of a fireplace, a bearskin rug, and a well-ventilated white-tiled bathroom.

Atmosphere would be provided by an amplitude of rough cut timbers, antique arms, sternly glowering portraits, bronze statues of naked godesses, animal skulls, and a pack of aging hounds.

A lot of people hate feminists, but I think that they are just really misunderstood.

I've stayed at the Telstar B&B in Exeter, and I've stayed in some of the finest hotels in Europe and the USA (The Ritz, Paris was not the nicest of them), and I can tell you that the breakfast in all of them is basically the same. Indeed, the Telstar was nicer than many more expensive business traveller hotels because they made the eggs and everything to order, rather than having a crappy greasy buffet. The main difference from the finest hotels in the world, in fact, was that I was fully clothed when eating that breakfast. And the coffee was slightly worse.

Molly at no point indicated that she wants to go to a bed and breakfast.
belgand » neu 10 months ago
This is still a valid fear. She wants to drive down the coast because Highway 1 is so fucking picturesque and stop to stay at some terrible bed and breakfast along the central coast. You spend the day looking at antique stores and art galleries in some tiny terrible town where they're basically just thrift stores, but without anything cool or broken electronics... just stuff from people's grandparent's houses that nobody wants. She wants to go for a walk on the beach that will not end with the possibility of anyone getting sand in unpleasant places.

At breakfast the next morning you look around and the entire room is filled with other men in exactly the same circumstances. You look back and forth at each other and are unable to tell whether this shared pain makes it better or worse.

This would be the Northern California version of a "fun, long weekend" Type A which is the one where you don't go up to wine country and at least drink quite a bit. Otherwise that version is more or less the same, but aside from and because of the alcohol consumption there's a greater chance that you might score. It is also more likely that the place you eat dinner at is actually somewhat good and not just quaint.

I suspect that this version of "weekend getaway" is roughly the same elsewhere in the country and perhaps the world with some small local variations.
woodenteeth » neu 10 months ago
... or you go away for the weekend, fuck like bunnies, hang out, read a book, have someone else cook food for you and then STOP YOUR FUCKING WHINING. If she's not adapting the holiday so you have fun as well then you're a fucking doormat and she's a bitch.

I know. If we were to fuck like bunnies I would know that I was on vacation with a stranger and I doubt I would ever return.

Frankly I've never been subjected to this sort of thing and I doubt I ever would be. Not her style. But you read enough guidebooks and absorb enough local culture and it just starts to congeal into the terrible truth.

Oh and I once drove down the coast with my father on a vacation many years ago. Just be glad you never spent Christmas Eve at the Madonna Inn (separate rooms, but still) with your father and step-mother when you were thirteen. I must say, however, that the bathroom in the restaurant there is great. They have a waterfall urinal.
scorpio_nadir » neu 10 months ago

Jim had been a salesmen. A wholesaler. A wholesaler of wool. In his heyday he had driven the long miles between in never quite successful textile mill in China Basin and the sheep ranches of Napa, Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino Counties. Occasionally he would stray up to Humboldt, Trinity and Shasta, but there were middle men aplenty willing to meet him in Santa Rosa. Between 1973 and 1975 he kept a mistress, one Darla Larkspur, with whom he trysted at a Motel Six in Rohnert park once a month. They met over shared beers and shock at hearing the fate of Fancy Mark Clancy on the wireless at the Drake's Public, a now-defunct roadhouse known best for its below-average salted peanuts and waitresses so nicotine stained it seemed as if they had washed their hands in yellow hi-lighter. It was a bittersweet affair, ending much as it had begun, in an alcohol fueled night of fucking and sobbing.

Jim and his wife, Sylvia, raised three children, two sons and a daughter, in Burlingame, CA, a suburb of San Francisco. Rachel is a temp accountant in Foster City, Evan managed a Circuit City and is in talks with a local Best Buy franchise about coming on as a traffic optimization consultant. Sadly, Ian, the third, suffered spiritually from his father's constant travels. He is a fixture at various social groups whose names end with -Anonymous that meet in the halls of churches and community centers along the 680 Corridor from San Jose to Pittsburgh. Jim and Sylvia's marriage may not have been the most idyllic, but it survived more stresses than most, and in their own way, they did love one another.

Jim retired a few years back. He didn't take to domestic life. In an effort to cheer him up, we took him on a trip along his old route. From 101 to 12 to 37 and further. I sat bitch in the back of an '87 Acura Legend, between Jim and his wife. I saw a tear escape his eyes somewhere between Cloverdale and Willits. We asked him what it was, and he told us that, in all the years he'd driven it for almost three decades, he had never realized just how beautiful that country and its rolling hills and redwood forests really were.

He had the operation a little after that; said there wasn't really much he was giving up. Sylvia talked him into opening the B&B in a fit of pique after the last time Darla, drunk, broke, and lonely, tried to call them from her brother-in-law's trailer up in Boonville. Jim resigned himself to it by reasoning that, if he couldn't still be out on the road himself, he could at least maintain contact with travelers this way. They leveraged his pension to purchase a modest ranch and re-established themselves, after a lifetime of small compromises, as hostlers in Olema. Occasionally, if a guest makes a strong impression, or if, recalling the good old days, Jim will lead personally guided tours of some of the more colorful county routes and the taverns and brewers the casual tourist is like to miss.

With all this hate, mindless BS, I thought I would share something nice. I'm a beautiful black female and my love, a beautiful white man just made love to me for hours upon hours. It was amazing, blissful, I was melting, and he kissed me over and over and told me how much he loved me, and we just came all over each other. I actually feel renewed. And no it isn't something that is going away, we have been with each other for almost four years, and it is still amazing.

STOP focusing on each other's difference, and getting sidetracked with race, color, etc. We are all in this together, man & woman. Spread love, and your world will expand with positivity
