What philp said. Also, I should clarify, this isn't on the mian roads. So in ny terms, I'd never do this on an avenue, but because we're not a grid there are plenty of streets crossing each other. It was a pretty big change coming over, as apparently this attitude hasn't reached ny. The amount of times i was nearly run over...

Having learnt to cross the road when I lived in Central London, then moving to a small town in the Midlands, I often find myself across the road, and wondering why my friends are still over there.

This, except replace "small town" with "Birmingham".

ISHTST: If I take a size X, then a size X-1 will be too small for me.

I shouldn't have to say that 17 and 71 are different numbers. And things which go in section 17 should not go in section 71. But hey, vinegar probably goes in the furniture section, right?

I sit on vinegar all the time. Don't you?

Man, who doesn't love a little sofa on their chips?

Who sells vinegar and furniture?

by **Oregonaut** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:14 pm UTC

Target, Walmart, Bi-Mart, Olson's, Fred Meyer, etc. etc. etc.

by **Cloud Walker** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:16 pm UTC

Oh, right.

by **broken_escalator** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:24 pm UTC

You're asking the wrong questions! You should be asking why wouldn't people sell furniture and vinegar.

But no really, vinegar is decent for cleaning.

by **Mr. Mack** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:44 pm UTC

Vinegar is great for removing soap scum. There might some product designed specifically for that purpose that works better, but I doubt it's as cheap as vinegar.

It's also supposed to be good for your skin and teeth, as well as your hair if it's dark. On the down side, it smells like vinegar.

by **broken_escalator** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:45 pm UTC

I actually really like the smell of vinegar.

by **podbaydoor** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:06 pm UTC

I only like the smell of vinegar if it's being used as a condiment for my tasty, tasty dumplings.

ISHTST: Yes, the trike only having 2 wheels is a problem.

ISHTST: Felltir is awesome.

ISHTST: Oregonaut is a sweet sweetiepie.

by **broken_escalator** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 6:43 pm UTC

That's a double negative, making him just a normal pie.

Pie is still awesome though.

by **Kewangji** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 6:44 pm UTC

How the heck is 'sweet' a negative?

by **broken_escalator** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 6:46 pm UTC

Hush and eat your pie.

It's a redundant tautology, not a double negative.

by **pseudoidiot** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 6:55 pm UTC

Your face is a redundant tautology.

I'll be in my bunk.

Isn't that rather the point of dating?

To be honest, everyone can [CENSORED] in my [CENSORED]. But only Oregonaut can [CENSORED], because otherwise it goes [CENSORED].

I just spoke to Julian Assange, and I found out this:
