Some stores sell a little shelf for your shower crunchwraps. They have a little suction cup on them. It's a really clever design.

That's fucked.

"We need some one to play Rosa Parks."

"Well this two-year-old has the only notable characteristic."

They do shit like this and say wokeness makes them feel bad.

Not quite homeless, Paul Erdős was a nomadic mathematician. He use to travel to universities, couch-surf with a mathematician, and solve a problem with them.

He would say, "another roof, another proof." As a result, he has a huge number of collaborators. The stat Erdős number is like the six degrees from Kevin Bacon game.

People seemed glad to have this oddball stranger as a house guest.

Crunchwrap supreme. Next question.

Whatever gets your rocks off.

Turkeys? Some of us have their own death spiral to worry about.

So I've live a few places around the US (all east of the Missisip. So it's not like a good survey), but the place that is worst for this has been southern Louisiana (north shore). Everywhere kinda sucks, but it's anarchy there.

Why are you the judge of what conditions make it acceptable?

This is just more propaganda from the People's Front of Judea.

Don't get me wrong, he is a folk singer. But listening to what he is singing over can catch you off-guard.

I'm not a music expert but here goes.

Paul Simon is most identified as folk. The act Simon and Garfunkel is basically pure folk if such a thing exists.

Listen to the opening of Late in the Evening. He's singing folk, but there is no guitar (to my ear). Instead it's a bass guitar playing funk. Later some horns come in. They sound like mambo to me.

There are two songs on Graceland that he recorded with a South African band. This was during apartheid. He heard a bootleg tape from this SA group, and had to travel to a part of South Africa that he was banned from doing business in.

Does he make it some powerful statement? No, that would be a stunt. He just wanted to make music with them. "I Know What I Know" is about the insipid-ness of show biz party-networking culture. It's wild.

I'll sum up some answers that made things click for me

1. She writes songs spanning many emotions.
2. Her albums span multiple genres. (I've only heard pop and country, but I'm not a fan.)
3. She is hard working, prolific, and puts on a show.

So with that combination it seems she has something for everyone. Personally, I only know one TS song, but it's catchy as hell. So there's no song that I hate that happens to TS song either.

About point 2.: I'm a Paul Simon fan and he spans multiple genres, but I wouldn't expect non-fans to know that.

One is allowed to call a joke gross regardless of the definition of a joke.

It's a must watch episode of the series. There's a few that have to be seen but would serve as a poor introduction. This one and the Darmok one for sure.

I don't think a person who has never had the Bell is qualified to be a toilet paper tester.

You have an order of operations problem.

Maybe I've always just felt a Roblox-shaped hole in my heart.

and it's well made

I'd say it is now that you helped.

I hope she did. Let her have a silver lining.
