Tomfoolery is buying alum pint bottles of macro beer to feel like I’m getting a beer at the Rockets game, but then still pouring it in a glass.
Also was thinking about Burns Night, and trying to remember if I’ve ever braved haggis, but then I couldn’t help thinking how much I really wish I could hear Mike Tyson say “Haggis with Neeps & Tatties”
Missouri is in the South? I thought it was Midwest. I am so bad at geography. :-/
Sometimes it's more historical/cultural than it is geographic. A lot of the slave-states that weren't necessarily geographically in the South fought with the South in the Civil War. Back in the 90's I was a roadie for a band and as we were driving through and discovering a lot of America for the first time we played a game we called "Corn fed or Southern-fried" where we guessed which of those middle-America heartland states had that wholesome "corn fed" vibe and which ones...umm...didn't.
@CretanBull They’re actually quite harmless, just gross and scary looking. I killed one the other day because he was on the ceiling of my back verandah right outside the back door, and they do have a tendency to fall off ceilings. He was there for an entire day and didn’t move so he had to go. The rule is walls, fine, ceiling, no. I don’t want to be putting my rubbish out and have one fall on my head, harmless or not.

This is my rule:
Buy a lizard or something that will eat them?
A lizard?!? Are you kidding me?!? Do you I have to show everyone my lizard rule now too?
My good buddy, who is a wild man like this, who looks and acts so much like Jack Black (my spirit animal) just bought a house in my hood like 5 blocks away. The number of times we’ve late night wrestled in a pool in our tighty whities to entertain the people is not 0, more than once.... and different locations too. Exciting and dangerous. To 2021!
@Chinaski To be honest, I don’t really understand the implications of this - if any. I deleted my Facebook a couple of years ago. I wonder if it covers the dodgier news sites as well, like those far right ones? Given the level of “news” that gets passed around Facey I’m hard pressed to think of any downside to this, really.
Do you ever think about all the people you know and wonder if any of them have ever killed someone?
Well my dad was in Vietnam, so I don't really have to wonder lol.
I also know people who have been in car accidents where someone died, including car on pedestrian.
I assume you mean, like, actual murders though. If you really wanna be freaked out look at the "clear rates" for homicides in the US. That's the percentage of murder cases where police identify the suspect they think did it, whether or not that person is ever convicted, and even that stat is below 30% in a depressing number of US jurisdictions. But there's also only 5 deaths by homicide per 100k people in the US each year, so like, even over 50 years that's 250 deaths by homicide per 100k people. Which is just a tiny percentage, not even 1%. So probably not.
And in Australia it's less than 1 per 100k per year. So you probably don't know a murderer. And yeah, that's right, the US murder rate is 5 times higher. USA! USA! USA!
Edit - Also, triangles. If you know someone who cuts their bread into rectangles, it becomes 50/50 that you know a murderer.

It's pretty common in America given how many people serve in our military, but for sake of discussion I'll leave them out. I definitely know one for sure murderer, and am pretty sure I've met at least a few more. Hell, my dad used to roll with the Banditos (biker gang), and he had all kinds of shady friends around when I was growing up. If I had to put my money on it, I would say his best friend Bart had a body or two on him. I remember asking my dad whatever happened to Bart, and he said "well son, Bart was cocaine dealer, and like most cocaine dealers, he ended up in prison."

The real answer is Mayo. Miracle Whip is best in the trash can.
