Bananas are always easier to peel from the bottom not the part that attaches it to the tree, a trick I learned by watching my simian friends at the zoo.

Kirk Cameron needs to know this.

If you have an RV (particularly and Airstream silver bullet), rub drier sheets over the aluminum in front to keep the bugs from sticking when driving down the highway.

You can save an absolute fortune by buying eyeglasses online (same frames/lens quality). The mark-up on frames and lenses in brick amd mortar stores is unconscionable.

I recently had an eye exam and found out the hard way that the merchant is not legally obligated to provide the
PD value (distance between pupils) even though they take the measurement to make your glasses.

Of course this is all moot if you have vision coverage on your insurance.

There are alternative methods to get that number
and as an adult it doesn't usually change.

-Loosen the lug nuts, before you jack up the car

Never Ask the question "Does this _____ make my ass look big?"
Just wear it till some one goes "Damn"

[Elderberry]

Really?! Now that's good to know. Though my doc actually writes it on the scrip. I think it would be wise then to ask in advance if they provide this information; if not, schedule an appointment with someone else.

Never answer the question "Does this _____ make my ass look big?" honestly unless the answer is a comvincingly emphatic no.

I'm guessing your doctor doesn't sell eyewear.

Earlier this year, Marion Laval-Jeantet won a notable Prix Ars Electronica award for her "hybrid" work that, she said, intends to blur the boundaries between species. Laval-Jeantet stepped onstage in Ljubljana, Slovenia, as a horse-human, having earlier injected herself with horse blood (after prepping her body for several months with different horse immunoglobulins). She also walked with stilts that had "hooves" affixed to the bottom. She capped the show by extracting some of her own presumably-hybrid blood, to be frozen and stored for future research.

this one's kinda for the ladies, but men can help remind...

if you are drunk, and you squirt, replace the liquid you lost or you will get a nasty hangover.

I love to drink but dislike hangovers or getting too drunk so I generally drink enough water along with my alcohol to stave off those effects. I could not for the life of me figure out why i was SO f'ing hungover yesterday as i definitely drank enough water with my alcohol. hehe my lover was surprised at my state and figured it out

shit man, it was over a liter!

There are few moments when I'm truly speechless. This would be one of them.

[Nipple]

I concur, Doctor.

I just hope you changed the sheets! It sounds like maybe the mattress could use some attention too!

On that note, breakfast:

Cereal - Shredded Wheat - the large biscuits (not the sugar coated additive enhanced mini things) and Puffed Rice generally have but one ingredient (brand dependent). Lest I be accused of thread drift the wheat supplies 25% of daily dietary fiber in one serving.

Orange Juice - a well known brand markets a product called Trop50 that is marketing as having 50% of the calories and 50% of the sugar of regular OJ. A quick glance of the ingredients list shows the first ingredient is water and the second is orange juice (not from concentrate). Both products are priced identically. Buy the full strength and water it down yourself to save 100% of the green stuff.

Ice cream - the outer, partially melted layer always tastes best. I try to let it sit on the counter a few minutes before diving in but it takes a lot of willpower. Always use a glass or ceramic bowl (never plastic!) and a metal spoon to accentuate that effect. I've taken to using a ceramic mug to increase the ice cream/vessel surface contact area over a bowl. I would imagine a slight bombardment of microwaves might work but I'll be damned if I'm going to take that chance.

[Savannah]

Sic Pup, I concur. (One could even mix orange juice with carbonated water).

Though I use an antique baby spoon for ice cream, to stretch out the fun, and I sort of doubt you do . . .

(Never a narrow spoon; too stingy).

How is the arm?

Better now, thanks.

Right on the inside of the joint.
Not nearly as much fun as you would think.

I strongly suggest mixing the orange juice with vodka and calling it a day....

Same with my reasoning when it comes to personal pleasure toys. ....
