Coincidence or not ? On the keyboard the “b” is right next to the “n” and the “i” is right next to the “u”. Don’t want to stir the pot.

I believe that would be “boi-n-n-n-n-g”… which besides being Beavis’ go-to synonym for “attraction” is also slang in Finland for “S turns in turbulence”.

Build it yourself outdoor furniture. I finally broke down and got a patio furniture set for the back patio. Nothing went together according to the instructions. I’m glad my son was available to help me get the pieces lined up so we could bolt them together.
To the overpacking thing, I filled my recycle can and black can to overflowing because of all the packaging that was used to ship the boxes.

We need to move beyond this unfortunate misunderstanding, IMHO.
We don’t have a lot of pejoratives in American English that have two g’s, but one of them is thermonuclear. Ever notice the cartoon character “Tigger” is long abandoned?
“Bugger” is a term we somehow inherited from the Brits, I think just about everyone has used it casually. I certainly did… until I worked in UK and found out the literally meaning. (Damn British. Where do they come up with this stuff? But I digress…)
I’m quite positive CCU wasn’t going with the thermonuclear alternative, and Shoes has a short fuse for anything in the zip code because she’s fiercely protective of my family. Which I appreciate.
And naturally, CCU has zero tolerance for being accused of being a racist… because he’s not.
Saturday night misunderstanding, IMO.
Let’s move on with highlights from yesterday’s BB win in Provo: https://youtu.be/82VQA_rjpm8?si=AV8vaVnD4qcXHExF

I hate it when you’re trying to sneak one through and somebody has excellent hearing. I HATE that!

Being in IT for 35 years in cubicles with the other IT mutants, we created a game called “Earworm Wars” where you try to get some catchy song stuck in somebody else’s head.
If you hear them whistling or humming it later, you won. And vice versa. Sometimes you have to counter punch with something else… until 5p.
Today, I got torpedoed by my 10 year old granddaughter who was singing Taylor Swift’s “Ophelia”.
Guys… I tried, I really did. I used every knockout earworm I knew to even the score.
“Rock the Casbah”, “Feel it Still”, Led Zepplin songs… I even tried the H.R. Pufnstuf theme song (which had been retired when some Millennial IT jocks informed me it picked up a 4.20 connotation).
None of those songs work against the 10 year old. Damnit.

There is something wrong with me because I can immediately forget virtually every single T-Swift song from my head.
Try this though…

Last year we got new patio furniture: dining table and six chairs, coffee table, two chairs and a love seat. Took at least three days to put together.

I had a coworker who misused a word all the time in her documents, so I placed a more correct word in her auto replace. It took her a while to realize it.
