Greatest living American elimination game (game thread)
It read to me as a thread in which we nominate a number of great living Americans, and then gradually are left with one as the rest are eliminated by no longer being living rather than by being voted off.
For a second I thought it was like a scavenger hunt thing, where “hunt” was taken literally.
(Ya, know, all that talk about “game”)
Sometimes Amazon is Outrageously high
What have you been smoking, Amazon?
Their pricing policies sometimes do seem drug-induced.
Jimmy Dean stuffed hash browns
He did? When?
Jimmy! How many times have I told you not to play with your food!
Aww, Mommmm. I was jes’ havin’ a little fun.
And for heaven’s sake child, pull your pants up!
“He was?! When!?”
The Trump deportation news thread
Every time I read this, my brain says “Wait, there’s news about Trump being deported?” And then my brain is happy for one nanosecond…

Every time I see the thread title Did prohibition officials poison drinkers?, my eyes skip ahead to the end and think that it will be about “poison drinkers”, i.e. people who drink poison.

My jaw dropped when I Saw " Water spots be us, our new MMP" because I first read it as “Water sports”.
Not real sure why you cited my post #26 from a few days ago instead of the OP in that thread. But OK.
But yeah, a couple people in that thread have admitted to keeping making that same mistake. Me too occasionally.
Also, you’re misreading the thread title, not misinterpreting it. So your comment belongs over here:
Cheers!
Opinions on places in the world for Americans to retire to cheaply
My brain thought this was an incomplete sentence: to cheaply what? To cheaply add to their butterfly collection? To cheaply sip mai tais by the pool?
Why are phone apps so huge nowadays?
I keep interpreting it as “Why are phone apps so popular these says?”, but what the OP is actually asking is why are they so large in terms of megabytes.
I think granite and dolomite would be a perfect match for each other, forming a gneiss solid relationship. Everyone should stay away from shale, though: too flaky.
…until dolomite starts taking its mate for granite.
That happens when you’ve been together for millions of years. You might say they have a sedimental attachment to each other.
I think some of you clowns need some mineral therapy: a rock upside the head.
