@MossyBlog okay, HTML trivia time. Without using Google, who created tables, why, and were they ever considered for layout?
@scotchegg On a day like this, time is irrelevant anyway. I knew that when we started jamming at 11pm I'd be up all night. 'Tis the season!
@BigGroveWalker Well, I'm following in Truman's footsteps today (although not carrying a big stick and my Jack is straight up).
@ed @BLG I thought of that but the point is either to stimulate or relax! Besides, I like my Jack unadulterated.
Okay, it's either going to be tea or coffee and start the day or a double jack as a "nightcap" What's the drinking etiquette at 4:30 a.m.?
@JHVanOphem Good 4:33 am Arizona time! It's freezing here. Literally. Am chilly even with heat and fire and tea.
@stevefleischer oh, LOO. That I can say but I wonder if it sounds weird coming from an American Girl.
@semiBad "The working men's club" - I need clarification. Do you mean a social club for males of the working class or something different.
@stevefleischer I'm confused. "Try too" ??? Was that supposed to be try to? or try two? And what is it that I'm trying?
@stephenallred I'm really not up on linguistic history but I seem to recall something re the Saxon word "fuck" meant "to til the soil"
Cultural semantics. Fascinating. Still taking me years to get comfortable with the word "toilet" over "bathroom." Now I just say "ladies"
I think the cunt/twat thing is cultural too. Brits, Ozzies and Kiwis use them in jest and anger. Not so in the US. What about Canada?
@johubris Such language to describe the flower of your femininity! (Cunt and twat but especially cunt are uncomfortable words even for ME)
Man it's a good thing I don't have any real fondness for stimulants. Could you imagine me on amphetamines? Good lord.
@stephenallred I've bitten back quipping "how many fannies do you plan on putting in that pack" to pensioners in hotel gift shops. RudeMols!
@Hicksdesign Eddie Izzard! So cute. Given that choice I'll have tea and cake please.
@stephenallred "fanny" is another one. US English it's the back, not the front. ;)
