I just got an e-mail wanting to sell me "Gold Rimming Salt"

Thank god it was for margaritas and not what my mind first went to

As I've been reminded of the song "Do they know it's Christmas" (fucking constantly) here's a joke

What's the difference between Bob Geldof and God?

God doesn't walk down the street thinking he's Bob Geldof

Also Christmas in Ethiopia is in January

If you're posting a paper to back up an argument, maybe check to see that it agrees with your point first

'cause I will check shit like that

LB: Admittedly the UK hasn't had the best results with that so far, but we'll get it right at some point I'm sure

I honestly did not expect my half-baked musings on a gender neutral variant of "hey dudes" to bring forth people claiming "DUDE IS GENDER NEUTRAL I USE DUDE TO REFER TO EVERYONE FUCK YOU IF YOU'RE OFFENDED"

Hm... "Dude" is fairly male-coded, so shouldn't really be used in mixed company

"Dudette" is female-coded, so adding that might be a good idea

But that only covers the binary genders, so for non-binary I propose "Duderino"

Putting all that together, the address "Dudes, Dudettes, and Duderinos" (in any order) could be the best way to address a mixed group

Yes. This is what we do for fun in England. Don't judge.

I've just been reminded of Diggerland

https://www.diggerland.com/

It's a digger theme park!

You can drive diggers, dig around with the diggers, ride on the end of diggers

If you like diggers, you'll love Diggerland!

Screw these people in particular

I have just come across the perfect watch for a @squirrel

Romance languages: We have invented a flying machine! We must come up with a name drawing on latin and greek! We shall call it... an aeroplane!

Germanic languages: Flying stuff? Sorted.

The AlphaShark straps from BluShark are reputed to be excellent, but fuck off am I spending over thirty bucks on a strip of nylon

If anyone happens to be in the market for watch straps and is in the UK, the Zuludiver NATO straps from watchgecko.co.uk are pretty damn good

They're well made and not too expensive

This is not a sponsored post, but if they'd like to send me a care package I wouldn't say no

There is of course the ever popular V91.07

Burn due to water-skis on fire
