  • French security:

    FRENCH GUARD: Allo! Who is eet?

    ARTHUR: It is King Arthur, and these are my Knights of the Round Table. Whose castle is this?

    FRENCH GUARD: This is the castle of my master, Guy de Loimbard.

    ARTHUR: Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night, he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail.

    FRENCH GUARD: Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen. Uh, he's already got one, you see.

    ARTHUR: What?

    GALAHAD: He says they've already got one!

    ARTHUR: Are you sure he's got one?

    FRENCH GUARD: Oh, yes. It's very nice-a. (I told him we already got one.)

    FRENCH GUARDS: [chuckling]

    ARTHUR: Well, u-- um, can we come up and have a look?

    FRENCH GUARD: Of course not! You are English types-a!

    ARTHUR: Well, what are you, then?

    FRENCH GUARD: I'm French! Why do think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king-a?!

    GALAHAD: What are you doing in England?

    FRENCH GUARD: Mind your own business!

    ARTHUR: If you will not show us the Grail, we shall take your castle by force!

    FRENCH GUARD: You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottom, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you, so-called Arthur King, you and all your silly English k-nnnnniggets. Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt!

    GALAHAD: What a strange person.

    ARTHUR: Now look here, my good man--

    FRENCH GUARD: I don't wanna talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

    GALAHAD: Is there someone else up there we could talk to?

    FRENCH GUARD: No. Now, go away, or I shall taunt you a second time-a!

  • That is why I call them dolfucks.

  • Silly to not even try, my friend...blunderworld...

    You mouth is usually pretty wet so it does not stay dry for long.

  • A dentist said it to me years ago.

    But I suspect that using a Sonicare makes a bigger difference for tooth health than not rinsing.

  • Yes, this is correct. I do not rinse. Nor do I get my brush wet before brushing. The only water I use is to rinse my brush after brushing.

  • Table on the side?!?

    Man don't need no extra table.

  • A scissors sharpener. You don't know what your scissors can do.

    Knife sharpener. Sharp knives are safer. You can also very often buy dull knives for cheap... and make them sharp. I am pretty happy with my 3 stage sharpener.

    Costco executive membership. It will pay for itself. Also get the Costco credit card and be sure to use it to buy all your Costco gas.

    Spring assist flipper knife with deep pocket clip. Buy a cheap one first and sharpen it...with...your knife sharpener! It is incredibly useful to have a sharp knife in your hand a second after wanting it.

    Lemon/lime squeezer. Stop struggling.

    Pour over coffee setup.

    Coffee grinder. Fresh ground is so much better. I used a manual one for a long time.

    Pepper mill.

    Bamboo chopsticks. Very cheap. I prefer them to the metal ones I also have because they grip better.

    LED headlamps. Get some with red lights to take camping. Keep them all over the house and garage to light dark rooms, corners and outside.

    Paper maps. I have the USGS map of my area up on the wall by my back door. I also have many in the door of my truck. Free at state visitor centers or by mail.

  • A few thoughts from someone who quit about 10 years ago.

    First, Congratu fucking lations! You quit! That is a BIG GODDAMN DEAL. I hope you appreciate that and celebrate it.

    I am very happy that I quit. There is little doubt in my mind that I would be much less healthy now if I still smoked.

    Quitting smoking was just the first step on a path to better health. I used the money I saved to buy a Vitamix and a rowing machine. Keep going beyond quitting.

    If you must have nicotine do it as safely as you can. I got a prescription for nicotine inhalers. Vaping is better than smoking, etc. If you fall off the wagon, it does not have to be permanent.

    Use ANYTHING that MIGHT help you. Rub a worry stone, mastrubate, chew gum, cinnamon oil toothpicks, stress ball, play video games.

    The discomfort will not last forever. It will get better.

    Best wishes. Keep up the great work!

  • This varies. There are some stores where it really is 10 for $10 and individual items will ring up at $1.19 or whatever. It can pay to ask.

  • I think we should just call them Fuck-You-i-canes. FUricanes for short.
