As if it weren't bad enough, that the lady who lived here before us planted wisteria.

To paraphrase a wise woman: Sometimes I don't know what the fuck you people are talking about and I'm OK with that.

I think there is no root barrier on earth that will contain some kinds of bamboo, it really just shouldn't be done. Evil stuff.

I'm currently toying with an idea for a science fiction story that involves importing animals from another planet. I want it to start out where everything's cool and we're doing it right because mankind finally really learned the lesson about invasive species, but I keep being derailed by bitter laughter at the utter improbability of that scenario. It's too unlikely even for science fiction.

Do it.

Those of you with kids who watched Veggie Tales will know what I mean when I say that I am pretty sure The Rumor Weed was inspired by Phil Vischer trying to dig bamboo out of his garden.

Here's a random thought for you.  Did you know that Veggie Tales is a Jewish thing?

Really?  In my informal google search everything I find describes them as children's entertainment promoting Christian values, where  do you get the "Jewish thing" from?

Bad teeth are my kryptonite.  You're talking about slightly crooked teeth, like Jewel has for instance, which can be cute, , but for me, bad teeth in general are probably my biggest turn off.

I honestly have a thing for slightly fucked up teeth. Could just be because I'm self-conscious about my own teeth, but there's something attractive about a lady whose teeth aren't unnaturally white and straight.

Girls in Japan are going to the orthodontist for this look


Is it right to call them an orthodontist if they're taking straight teeth and making them crooked?

[pmcd9]

Let me clarify.  Crooked teeth are cute.  Dirty diseased or missing teeth is gross. Very gross.

[theinevitable]

I find crooked teeth really distracting. Even if they are only a little crooked.

Right now I am debating which winter boots to buy. I found these LL Bean ones that I really like, that have great reviews. "I've had mine for 10 years," etc. On the other hand, there are these other ones that are 20$ cheaper, and probably look just as good in real life. Unfortunately, crappy photography on the second pair.

I have definitely decided that my past solutions to this problem (1. buy shitty boots that wore out really fast 2. wear normal sneakers all winter) were failures.

I'm kind of a stickler for good skin and good teeth. Bad teeth or bad skin can deduct 20% of attractiveness off a lady for me.

I think we all got our ways that we hew toward the common conceptions of beauty and hew away from the common conceptions.

I tend to not have the common view of where a lady is too heavy-set to be attractive and I tend to enjoy all forms of noses whereas some fellows seem to only want a lady with a conventionally white-lookin' nose. I like women of a height that some fellows would find intimidating or vaguely masculine.

But good skin and good teeth are ten hells of important to me.

I call bullshit.

[pmcd9]

I call bullshit.

A couple of years ago I was at the home of friends who are Jewish and they put on Veggie Tales for their daughter to watch.  I was surprised they were watching Veggie Tales because I thought it was Christian.  They insisted that it was made by and for Jews.  That's why all of their "tales" are from the old testament.  They pointed out all the Jewish names in the credits as further proof that it was a Jewish show.

Obviously it's not exclusively for Jews because Christians and even some non believers love it too.

[littlefallsmets]

Doing some simple research, the first two things advertised on their website's store were Veggie Tale adaptations of "O Holy Night" and "The Little Drummer Boy" so...

I think your friends are wrong, respectfully.

Respectfully, I think this belongs in "Shit my___________says".

Now we are arguing about what religion vegetables are?
