Funnily, when I started a thread years ago asking for recommendations for a smoker for smoking meat, some people apparently misinterpreted it as a thread about cigarettes.
I’m waiting for the thread about shredding dried meat, rolling it in paper, setting it afire, and inhaling the fumes. There’s more than one way to smoke a good jerky. ![]()
Is it time for a hip replacement?
Depends on for who, I suppose. A hip replacement for Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show would be a good idea, for example.
It’s always time for a hip replacement somewhere. Same as time for a drink.
Chicken leg stabilizers - huh?
Exactly my reaction too. I quickly tried to surmise what such a device is, and what it does, concluded it was something like corn holders to make them easier to eat without getting your hands greasy and dropping the food item in question. Turns out they are for live baby chickens to help them stand up and develop their legs without abnormalities.
Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s engagement
Discourse shunted the last two words after the hyphen to the next line, making it seem like there are THREE people involved, with the first two upset with the third (and making me wonder who the fourth mystery person is who is engaged with this “Whiteley” person, who apparently has no 1st name). Read the post, and yeah, uh, ok…
What artist defines ‘your time’?
I assumed this would be about which musician you always listen to while relaxing (i.e., enjoying some “me time”).
I clicked thinking ‘SDAM’ was probably a type of RAM chip, and the OP post didn’t do much to disabuse me of that notion: “I’ve recently stumbled across this and finally understand my significant memory lapses.”
How does Google Maps calculate time in travel on a bicycle?
Every time I see this subject, I wonder how you can do time travel on a bike. The magic of Google, I guess.
The Phantom Sock and other inanimate objects with minds of their own
They’re only inanimate until the Sock decides to use the account.
Anyone happen to know the history of Jack’s Giant elephant ears?
Poor Jack. I do want to see a photo though.
Misinterpreted, misread, thread tittles
What ironclad memories from childhood have turned out to be pretty much wrong?
Back in school I was taught that it was the battle of the Monitor versus Merrimack rather than the Virginia.
Be awfully hard to get up to 88 MPH on a bicycle. You’d need a really big, extremely steep hill, I’d imagine.
That’s a light but kind of fun movie.
It has many versions including a Simpsons parody.
Thanks for that link.
What, as a mascot or something? America’s 250th birthday is great and all, but this kind of marketing tie-in is going too far.
I interpreted it to be “swathe of land where a lot of Mycelium grows”.
