Same ol’ Chicken

Thanks, Raz. It’s what I do.

“Old-timey” painting of three men sitting at a table and writing. These are the speech bubbles over their heads: Man #1: Quick question. Is it “for fucks sake” or “for fuck sake”? It’s for a work email, so it has to sound professional. Man #2: Neither: It's "for fuck's sake"; the sake is on behalf of the fuck, so you need a possessive. Man #3: It should have an apostrophe to show possessive. The REAL question is whether it should be "for fuck's sake" or "for fucks' sake.” Is it for the sake of ALL the fucks or just this fuck in particular?

Grammar nerd alert!

THAT episode of L&O was just on. I will never not think of you when I hear, “Is this because I’m a lesbian?”

I know the Brits use “double crochet” for what Americans call single crochet. I don’t know much more about that, but amen to the Reddit groups. Try r/crochet and r/crochethelp. I’ve gotten some good advice just by scrolling. Also, crochet Reddit is one of the nicest corners of the internet.

Gentle Raz, of course I would never fight you for this, and I promise to use “gentle” going forward.

Dear reader,

It was not, sadly, fatal familial insomnia.

“Could it be fatal familial insomnia? Yeah, what are the odds of that?”

Like I told Linda, the dangers of internet rabbit holes…

The dangers of interweb rabbit holes 😹

Weird things I say when watching TV:

“Bog body! Bog body! That’s why his hair is red!”

The brain one stopped sending out signals long ago

Right? I don’t know if I want to come watch or hide my face.

That is too weird a coincidence. I was having that done when you sent that. Except the flatline part. (Don’t worry! I’m OK!)

Point taken! But then what about skating? Let’s keep it to those crazy folks who go down that chute. They do call it the sliding center after all.

“Aerial” anything.😬

I worry so much about the athletes’ safety! For not being a mom, I’m such a mom.

As you can probably tell, I have chosen to remove myself from this “argument.” 😹

I’d make it a couple of meters down the track and that would be it. Or I’d be one of the sliders who gets stuck crossways. If you can even get me on one of those…things.

Yeah, thanks but no.😹

That’s about right. You’d have to hold a gun to my head to do that. Or any of the other sliding sports, for that matter.

It explains curling and Canada in one short video! 😹

WHERE IS MINE?

Norway has no paved roads, only cross-country ski tracks.

Musings during ice dancing last week…

Boy skater: “It doesn’t seem like I have much to do in this section. What should I do?”
Choreographer: “Eh, just stick your leg out.”

Every minute of every day.

a skeleton is pushing a walker down a sidewalk . Alt: Skeleton riding on the sidewalk in a wheelchair that also seems to be a walker? Maybe some walkers have seats? Hopefully I never have to use one!

I can see why they call it “skeleton”: that’s all that’ll be left of you if you crash.
