Stuff that makes me laugh
From Reader Mike L., in response to this article‘s headline:
Toy prices in the US could increase by ‘high double digits’ because of tariffs on China | CNN Business
“Oh no! I can’t buy plastic toys with lead paint on them from China cheaply anymore??? Oh, the humanity!”
Yesterday saw our first of 90+ degree daytime highs. Ugh.
But for the benefit of the Global Cooling Climate Warming Change© crowd, when I looked this phenomenon up, I noted that May 12 was the latest day in the past 43 years that the 90+ temperature arrived. Not that it matters too much. If the forecast for this week is to be believed, daytime highs will seldom reach the mid-80s, and drop into the high 70s by the coming weekend. Sunday, in other words, was something of an anomaly.
Welcome to a typical Texas spring, in other words.
Still, there is one benefit to our searing summer highs:
Oh yeah, baby… Daisy Dukes and skimpy lil’ tops, gawd love ’em.
So here we go with our weekly diary entry:
Let’s get down to the silly business, then.
And on the topic of surveys:
And on a sorta-related note, some other people’s sisters:
That’s enough of that. Now say good-bye and walk away…
The term of DGS seems to have been around since at least the early Noughties, referring to men holding their penises too hard while they have a wank.
The rule of thumb — don’t ask me how I know this — is that if your grip is strong enough to strangle your partner to death, you need to back off a little.
No need to thank me, it’s all part of the service etc. etc. Anyway:
I’m not helping, am I?
Oh dear, we have yet another example of SpellChek doing the editing job at a newspaper:
“Vogue Williams flashed her envious physique in a black and white bikini as she took a dip in the ocean in St Barts on Friday.”
The word they were looking for is “enviable” — a physique cannot be envious, only people can be envious — and even “enviable” (worthy of envy) is incorrect:
Nothing to be envious of there, methinks. Now the Irish ex-model’s hubby, on the other hand:
…has better tits than she does.
But all that still doesn’t excuse the crap grammar.
