MIAO to the WOW!!!

At this moment, would it be incorrect for me to mention Joseph Dunninger, The Amazing Kreskin, and John Curtis Gowan?

I actually liked that.

The dude with the two saxes kinda threw me off though.

I thought you were a big supporter of two-sax people. 😉

Uncalled for. Try to stay on topic.

This used to be a free country (for some people).

Time was, opinions and jokes didn't need an invitation to be uttered or written.

Also, I don't think I have seen a certain someone include "2S" whenever that person has mentioned LGBTQIA2S+ people or issues.

[In general, I find "uncalled for" to be such a passive-aggressive phrase that I never use it myself. A similar phrase (in my view) is "that is unacceptable." Unacceptable by whom?]

I can live w/o Guacamole, but I gotta have tacos/burritos...if they are the Americanized version for Gringozoids such as myself.

On a tangent, recently I learned that NASA astronauts are not allowed to have bread in orbital space, because of the various forms of potential harm that floating breadcrumbs might cause -- however (surprisingly!) astronauts are allowed to have tacos.

The article did not specify what kind of tacos, but I imagine NASA must have meant soft-shell tacos. Even so, I'm thinking a little bit of beef or lettuce or cheese might still float around and cause a disadvantageous short-circuit or get into someone's eye at the wrong moment. Hmm.

But back on topic: I'm siding with the Mexicans here, if visitors and immigrants with more money are causing a gentrification of neighborhoods and forcing long-time families and residents out, and also diluting Mexican culture(s) rather than trying to assimilate and blend in.

And regarding avocados (I do like the little stone-hearted pun), recently I also learned that avocados used to be a seasonal item, and it has only been because of the supply of avocados from Mexico that people in the USA have grown accustomed to them being a year-round item.

Personally, some other items in my own kitchen that might be affected by tariffs and trade wars would be some products by Huy Fong (you might know their Sriracha sauce which some call Rooster Sauce, but on my side there are also Sambal Oelek and their chili-garlic sauce).

I'm a big supporter of people.

Idiots, not so much.

No kindness for idiots? So un-Christian of you. 😉

The unkindness of "Christians" is the sharpest unkindness of all.

Giving monstrous idiots the benefit of the doubt is how we ended up here.

The word is "discernment". Some people just don't have it.

For starters, I have always had difficulty processing double negatives even when there are no indirect subtleties involved -- so I guess I should admit that you won that round, Sister. 😉

I seem to have discerned that you are a hot-headed, combative bully.

Am I right?

That's obviously not discernment. It's more akin to bruised ego.

I'm very disappointed in you.
