30 Socialism can make us all rich beyond our wildest dreams. As an example, for around $120 you can go to Venezuela and buy a million bolivars. That's at the current exchange rate on the black market, of 8,800 bolivars per dollar.

Instant millionaire. Now the official exchange rate is 10 per dollar, so avoid trying this at a Venezuelan bank.

PS Back in 2011, the black market exchange rate was 8.27 bolivars/buck.

37 Home from the Houston World Series of Dog Shows, Dan and Delilah put up, car unloaded and equipment put away and Her Majesty and I are still married.

Handsome Dan was Winners Dog today. As there were three class dogs entered, he got one point. But he was later Best of Opposite Sex over 7 male specials. With a total of 10 males entered, Dan now had a major win of 4 points.

So, with 15 points and two major wins needed for a championship, our youngsters are like this:

Dan: 12 points, both majors
Delilah: 10 points, both majors
Dot: 12 points, one major
Finn: 7 points, one major

Not too shabby for a litter of a slow-maturing breed not yet two years old!

Well... All Right

Supposedly Buddy Holly was way ahead of the curve with regard to studio technology in the late 1950s. I think the original recording of this song was one of the very first to use a multi-track machine. (It sounds a little bit like Holly's vocals and the backing musicians were recorded separately.)

60 Okay so euphemism (maybe) time.

Friend and her gentleman caller, we'll call him Dave.

Now despite the fact that Dave doesn't drink himself and knows friend doesn't drink...he made a joke about getting her drunk. She was a bit taken aback, knew he was joking, but wondered if there was truth in jest. So, she joked back something about him thinking she was boring without the alcohol.

Everyone following so far?

62 Can someone explain Game of Thrones? Yeah I get it's basically soft core porn. But other than that? I tried getting into it, couldn't. Bored me to tears.

Did you start at the beginning or at last week's season opener? Cuz that was boring.

It's medieval badassery with horses and leather and castles and such, and also boobs. You also have dragons. I could take or leave dragons per se, but these come with a human mother who gets nekkid.

There are also ice zombies. I'm not a fan of ice zombies, but we've needed something dreadful to build tension so at some point that price has to be paid and that shall be this season.

You have a shrunk down medieval world, like Conan's (was that whole world called Hyperborea? I don't remember. But he could walk from Norway to Iraq in the time it takes for a couple of slaughters).

So basically it's England, except that the south of England is Rome and right across the channel France is made out of Tunisia and filled with Mongols.

Hadrian's Wall is a million feet tall and made out of ice and the Scots are vicious savages. The second part I guess isn't fiction.

The rest is all scheming and intrigue and everyone wants to slaughter everyone else to rule the kingdoms. You're never sure why. There's some incest, but it's OK because the people who do it are really good looking.

71 Greetings:

The typography on those "demotivation" posters continues to underwhelm me, especially considering that it's only two lines of type.

One, when setting type in all capitals word-space should be marginally increased.

Two, A capital "A" requires special treatment known as kerning especially between letters with overhangs such a "P" and "T".

Having a disc with 150 typefonts doesn't make one a typographer. Perhaps it's type for a book.

The books are better. The story is unfinished. Sympathetic characters are killed off regularly, the swinish ones tend to survive, but not always.

Anyway that beget the following conversation, as was copy and pasted to me:

"No, I don't like using alcohol for that, I prefer to know someone better as they are"

So, to me this comes across as...oddly worded...but just referring to preferring to be around someone sober rather than drunk.

Gorilla Pundit, silent as can be;
An open thread as he anticipates
What's sure to come -- of course, the ONT.

Just sitting at the table, looking bored,
He has another hour left to think:
He contemplates, Perhaps the Moron Horde
Would maybe like me better with a drink?

Two travelers from Iowa come near
Which caused Patient Bear to salivate;
He ate them both, with Revenant and beer
And his anticipation did abate.

The ate so much he thought that he would burst
And never saw the n00d, nor could claim First!

When I mentioned to friend my suspicions, she was mortified, because she went along with the whole knowing each other thing the entire conversation.

------------------------------
It's not a quite a euphemism for mere sex.
In modern English I think it implies an intimacy that goes beyond the physical.

One would not speak of an encounter with a prostitute as getting to know her more deeply, would one?

It may (or may not) be weird.
But it may well be a very good kind of weird.

If your reporting is close to the actual words used, my best guess is that he mispoke or made a joke that didn't come out right initially, and then was awkwardly trying to play cool/recover. Whether or not she may have inadvertantly given a false sexual signal in consequence I can't say.

Posted by: Tickled Pink at July 23, 2017 09:06 PM (smD62)

It's actually an old euphemism for sexual intercourse. I think it appears quite a bit in the Bible as in "A knew B and begat C."

205 198 I came in late so I don't know the start of the discussion but every conversation by a guy with a girl has to do with the goal of eventual sex. I thought that was a given.

215 146 The bear, with ursine patience, sits and waits.
Gorilla Pundit, silent as can be;
An open thread as he anticipates
What's sure to come -- of course, the ONT.

Just sitting at the table, looking bored,
He has another hour left to think:
He contemplates, Perhaps the Moron Horde
Would maybe like me better with a drink?

Two travelers from Iowa come near
Which caused Patient Bear to salivate;
He ate them both, with Revenant and beer
And his anticipation did abate.

The ate so much he thought that he would burst
And never saw the n00d, nor could claim First!

Now if his WH would just act as if they understood what he's saying and do what it can to put GOP types on the record and the hot seat. It's going to be required quite a bit if any of the important parts of his agenda are to advance.

2. go to bank, exchange for $ @ official rate ($=10)
is step 3:
3. Profit !
or
3. Secret police arrest you at airport.

Has a huge following, which says something about whatever.
