I knew lots of punks with Chelseas, they tended to do it themselves. The boneheads lack such skills.

only once i witnessed someone rawdog a white onion like it was an apple. he pulled it out of my fridge and was like yeah i do this all the time im pretty bad ass and i tried to tell him it was a white onion and not the sweet kind

he barely made it halfway through it; it was a big one... it was a very tough 10 minutes watching him fighting for his life while forcing a teary-eyed smile. the stomach gurgles were hilarious at first but man, between the burps and the... well, he wasn't fun to be around the rest of the night
I was puttering in my garden, absently chawing on a garlic scape and realized I'd eaten the whole thing about the time my stomach started churning fire and then I frowed up garlicky bile

At a job a long while back I sat next to a guy who ate a whole white onion like an apple every day for a snack. Kippers with mustard on crackers and a whole fuckin white onion every day.

I knew lots of punks with Chelseas, they tended to do it themselves.
A critical weakness is that if I don't prep myself mentally I will get bored and decide that's just how I look now.
It's usually how I end up with a handlebar moustache every time I try to go clean-shaven.

I'm pretty sure my parents still have their old-school clippers around. They do quick work.

I used to worry that Pinker's parroting of Chomsky's "virtually every linguistic utterance is unique in the history of the world" was collapsing due to memetic repetition and social collapse but this gives me new life.

Oh I deeply apologize for thinking that you know things, especially Northern European etymologies.
I will continue to assume the highest of you because I love and admire you.
Maybe I can tease out this contradiction like Maniac Magee did with Cobble's Knot, as one does with a clew.

The best thing about etymology is you can always try to do it better because at the end of the line a guy is like "iunno that's about the best I can figure" and you can be like "I have SEVERAL contemporary texts using this precedent and I have been awake for thirty-five hours".

If you had $10 extra dollars what would you buy yourself?

How did you mistake $440 for $40 and then $10.
Also $10 extra than what.
From: L Q #2579

I did a bad typo.
It was supposed to say I came home $440 richer.
From: L Q #2580
Date: 01/27/26 @ 6:41 PM
If you had $10 extra dollar bucks to your name, what would you buy yourself. The $10 has nothing to do with the $40 or $440.
I hope this got more confusing.

I don't know what any of the numbers are doing here.
So forget the 440 or 40.
If I have ten dollars I will probably buy kale and a yellow onion because my collards are yellowing and I need to get it going STAT.

Are you able to relay the sequence of events that ended with you having what amount of money.

If not, that's okay, just stop saying numbers until you get to the end.
