Those aren’t grammar errors; they’re “colloquialisms”.
If I told my young self I’d be able to instantly download Aquaman comics to a digital reader, he’d say, “You’re a dork.”
Was at this big Idaho tech awards ceremony tonight (the governor was there). They came up with 7 new ways to use a potato.
Dress was formal, but I wore a bright red Hawaiian shirt. One day I want to be an eccentric millionaire, so I better start acting like one.
“Dress was formal, but I wore a bright red Hawaiian shirt. One day I want to be an eccentric millionaire, so I better start acting like one.”
My Dad’s whole family (me included) would be considered eccentric if we were rich. Since the best we have achieved is upper middle class, we are all just nuts.
Does that mean since my family us just regular muddle class we’re considered ‘strange’? Is it a sliding scale where if you’re homeless its called ‘batsh*t crazy’
You might have worn something suitable to solemnity of the occasion – not necessarily formal – but some sort of dress.
Word has it that Carnegie was wearing sandals and a Metallica t-shirt when he bought Skibo Castle.
When asked what he was wearing to the formal event, the coolest man in the world said “whatever I wear will make it formal”…
Dress was formal, but I wore a bright red Hawaiian shirt.
Since you’re in Idaho, shouldn’t that have been “so I wore a bright red Hawaiian shirt”?
Ain’t ain’t a word cuz it ain’t.
“Told my young self”…. LOL Wait until Buttercup hits her teens, THEN say that.
I am wearing my Hawaiian flowery shirt right now. The big question is, does Frank’s shirt have potatoes instead of pineapples on his?
In much the same way that the weight listed on your driver’s license isn’t a statistic. It’s more of a goal.
You stole some Hawaiian’s shirt? The sun is brutal there – no wonder he’s bright red.
“Dress was formal, but I wore a bright red Hawaiian shirt.”
There’s actually never a time when a Hawaiian shirt is cool…especially if you’re in Hawaii.
So, am I the only one here who finds merit in having seven more ways to use the potato? (A great State, Idaho.)
Of particular interest is exploratory research in the uses of potatoes AND coffee together. So far, I’ve found:
1. They induce a peculiar, wired, hypoglycemic brain state.
2. You have lots of energy and get lots of work done.
3. Your brain races while your body sweats.
4. You don’t gain weight. It’s an all you can eat and drink thing.
5. If you cut back on the coffee, you sleep well.
6. It helps to have Celtic ancestry.
To truly hit geekdom, some guys built a web server powered only by 5 taters. Idaho and tech, no?
I hate Idaho potatoes, they’re only good for pig slop…….Paul Richard LePage
Oh sure, you just HAD to one-up George Washington Carver on his whole peanut project. Racists.
“Okay, so, first we stand Michael Moore up against a wall, then we each grab a potato…”
@ Yosoff
Moore: “Free potatoes! Yea!”
@Yosoff: I ain’t grabbin’ none of Michael Moore’s taters. Gross.
I’d suggest we start stuffin’ taters up Michael Moore’s ass, but there aren’t enough taters in Idaho or Minnesota to finish the job! That’s right, we grow taters here! As a matter of fact one of the big fast food chains get’s all their spuds from Minnesota! We like rock up here! We can do anything! We are super awesome! Good looking blonde Norse women all over the place, men are men and women are happy about it…well except in St Paul where Government and MPR is located, but we never cross the river so that’s not a problem!!!
Hey, if it’s potatoes he wants, it’s potatoes he can have! Apparently the man gets what he wants – food wise.
Perhaps this IS one of the seven new uses of potatoes: turn Michael Moore into an ugly, fatal, foundering bag of mostly fat.
Chris Mathews would never be celebrated in Idaho…he’s only a common tater.
Ba da ding!
turn Michael Moore into an ugly, fatal, foundering bag of mostly fat.
Too late!
