          Yes, that’s what I meant.

          I mean, I’m as corrupted as anyone on the internet, so I did try to come up with a bit where Danny asks Joe if he knows about whether Sal is allergic to nuts, but comes away with the impression that she’s only bothered by a brand called “Dee’s”, and so he tries to figure out if this type of peanut butter contains any and has a very confusing Abbot and Costello bit when he tries to call their helpline for info and gets yelled at, so he makes a turkey sandwich instead.

          But yeah, simple is better when it comes to dumb jokes.

        You know, I’m honestly a bit sad that I _didn’t_ read it as dirty until I read your comment.
        I blame the fact that I don’t think I have ever referred to male ejaculate as “nut” or related verbiage. I’ve heard others do so, but it never stuck with me.

        Personally, if I’m going to use slang, I prefer “seed”.

          As a euphemism, it’s after my time. “Nut” to me means the testicles, not their product.

          I like “jizz” as both the act and the substance. If I’m feeling formal, I go with “gyzym” for he substance. It’s an old word meaning “power.”

      Depends how sensitive the allergy is, but with them wrapped separately, most people would be okay.

            I think the word you’re looking for is semen.

            [nsfw] Also known as cum, come, seed, ball-juice[1], baby-gravy, baby batter, penis pancake batter, cock snot[1], man yoghurt, and in some circles that don’t appreciate it, drek.

            [1] These are misnomers. Snot is mucus produced in the sinus cavity and is not normally associated with sexual reproduction. Semen is neither mucus, nor produced in the balls (although one ingredient is). It is composed of sperm and seminal fluid. Sperm are produced in the balls, and then travel along the vass deferens to the prostate. In the prostate, sperm mix in with seminal fluid. Seminal Fluid is produced in the prostate and seminal vesicles. This mixture (semen) is what is expelled during male ejaculation (often due to a male climax).

            Yes that’s correct, your balls don’t do anything special or notably different during sex with regards to sperm production. They don’t ‘pump out semen’, they don’t become swollen, and they don’t turn blue if you don’t come. If they hurt see a Doctor. If there’s a bump on them, or they *are* swollen, see a Doctor.

      Also, does anyone have a recommendation for a good bread to pair with mozzarella and pepperoni? Yesterday’s sandwich discussion got me thinking about something, and any advice would be welcome.

        Too short for a semi … more like what is called a ‘straight truck’ or a ‘box truck’, with the cab/engine/axles/cargo box all on a single frame unit … overall length about thirty feet or so as opposed to a semi tractor with a 53-foot trailer behind it.

        He was also shocked when I told him a lot of girls keep snacks in their purses. LOOK, WE’VE BEEN DENIED POCKETS, WE HAVE TO KEEP OUR GOLDFISH CRACKERS AND GRANOLA BARS *SOMEWHERE*.

          If it’s any consolation, the ’87 music video for ‘Oh Yeah’ features one of the performer’s kid daughter clearly having an obviously innocent and hillarious time making the video. Making a music video may not have come about (stretching the maybe here) if the song wasn’t popularized in ‘Day Off’.

      PB&J is a sandwhich staple in the USA for decades at least.

      The real question is what types of ingredients Danny used.
      That’s visibly white bread, so boo.
      Looks like grape jelly instead of strawberry, so yay.
      The real question is whether Danny used smooth or crunchy peanut butter.
      …but, given he uses white bread it is inconceivable to me he would use crunchy.

      I’m not a huge fan of turkey, myself, but when I was in college, I always had the makings for ham sandwiches in my room. That was pretty much what I lived on a lot of the time… our food service was terrible — it was, no kidding, ruled to be cruel and unusual punishment to serve to prisoners — and my first year on campus the nearest fast food was half an hour away across state lines.

      They built a McDonald’s in town over the summer, and my second year, on any given night, you could find about half of campus there, because it was so much better than the stuff the cafeteria was alleging to be food…

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
