You should have opted for his boat instead.
Dunno if that helps with understanding, but more fun anyway.

I'm thinking about what sauce goes with fried chicken wings. I think tomorrow I'm going to buy mango puree and mix it with hot sauce.
 
Phil Collins on "I can't Dance" sounds more like Bon Scott era AC/DC than Bon Scott era AC/DC does.

He/Genesis had songs had what I thought were 180 from each other, seemed to be from different bands. Specifically, intense "ABACAB"vs sugary " You can't hurry love"

I borrowed my friend's boots, walked around a mile in them. I still don't understand him any better than before.
Perhaps you forgot about the conversion to metric system with SI units. Now you only need to walk a kilometer in his boots lest you learn too much about your friend.

Unless they are seven league boots or bottes de sept lieues in French.

My wife and I are planning trip to Paris and yesterday morning, I found this drawing on my banana set out for work.
EiffelTowerBanana.jpeg

After I ate it, I cut out the drawing and carefully set it out to dry on my desk at work. This morning, it was missing. The best that I can figure is that the cleaning crew came through to dust and decided to throw it away. I know that it probably wouldn't have survived well but it meant a lot to me. Not a good way to start my morning. :mad:

Well you got the picture. The banana skin would probably have turned black.

Heard this story 2nd hand about this guy in the US in the 1960s who tried to avoid the draft for health reasons, so he put Apple Cider vinegar in a glass of water and drank it daily. The plan backfired, and he looked extremely healthy , almost glowing, and the medical interview didn't dismiss him.

It's very cold in London. We had snow today.

I've gone off red meat. I like crispy chicken. Not really a fan of fish.

I've been flooded with voice messages of length less than 5 seconds. Really, you can't just write the 5 words you left on the voice message?
Less time.

Ok, weird day. Microsoft Access ##\neq ## Microsoft Taxes. Put vinegar in the pan, confused it with the oil.
Less thought.

Less time + Less thought = Less involvement (contagious, perhaps?)

Yes, you're likely right. When one is tired or otherwise short on mental resources, the mind takes shortcuts by cutting down on the use of resources, such as the ability to focus, which is limites.

Re 'Microsoft Access' sounding like ' Microsoft Taxes', maybe more of an issue of parsing in the English language.
 
Our bengal jumps up at the living room door handle and opens it. She is not allowed to do this as she might escape somewhere. The door has a lock, so we keep it locked at night. You can't take the key out of the door when locked.

The other day, I saw her jump up and push down the door handle, twisting the key with her other paw. She did this action in seconds and opened the door. I shut the door and locked it again and she jumped up and repeated it with the same precision.
