Whatever: The Open Lines Thread

[Bart Ell]

Hey - they somehow have a Mexican Food Truck with a hottie get herself a Burrito.  After eating boiled, gray, bland mutton -  a One enchilada, one chile relleno, rice and beans combo must taste divine.

This was my favorite one in the collection -

Belinda Carlisle is 65, may have found Ozempic and is insanely good looking from 20 feet away in 2024.
If you want to preserve your early teen memories of Heaven Is A Place On Earth Belinda I urge you not to go closer than 20 feet to her now.
For love of all that is holy, do not do it.

I'm sure she lived longer than she had originally planned to.

I'm not a coffee guy but Mrs. WAN likes Caribou Coffee.

I second Caribou.
I really like Kicking Horse beans- they have several really yummy roasts. Even their decaf is good.

Happy Singles Awareness Day ! !

Oh, those are very nice photos, Peter.  Please keep them coming.  I love London, which reminds me, I purchased the book you recommended, London - The Biography by Peter Ackroyd.  What a great book.  799 pages, too, so I get to spend lots of quiet moments reading it.

Yes, it's one of those books that has so much interesting detail you'll find something on almost every page. Glad you're enjoying it. If you find anything in there you want to see, let me know and I'll try and take a picture. Six of the paintings are 'The Rake's Progress' by Hogarth, the quintessential London painter (who had a dog called Trump).

George Senda at the theatre?  You're a sick man.  As I toggled to the bottom, it said something about cookies.  Haha....

Senda is my go-to pseudonym. I used to post as him on Twitter as George dePfeffel Senda and occasionally got replies from serious people like academics, despite using a profile pic of him with his glasses duct taped to his head. I once did a Yorkshire Pud account for a while too where I depicted him as a racist, homicidal maniac.

The photos of the concourse are lacking something... A Starbucks.

There are plenty around but that's the South Bank, which is an arts venue rather than a concourse. Within a few hundred yards you've got three concert halls, an art gallery, a theatre with three performing spaces, a cinema. Shakespeare's Globe. Tate Modern etc.

Here that would be a great place for the homeless to gather.

There's a place you'd love nearby where all the kids whizz around on skateboards, spraying graffiti and sniffing glue.

...and throwing cans of beef stew on works of art.

I am not sorry to say this. Some people are so fucking stupid they say the same thing 400 times. That guy must be one of the biggest fucking bores at family dinners.

As for the truck, train schedules are on the fucking web so they could avoid being around one. There's too many retarded people in one fucking place.

Ok Ellgab. I'm looking at two, free, online courses. I'd normally take a technical course but looking at trying a class for fun. I'll only have time for one of the two. Which looks better?

• Film, Images & Historical Interpretation in the 20th Century: The Camera Never Lies out of London
• Baseball into the Millennium out of CU Boulder

Or the hell with fun and go with a game theory class out of Georgia Tech?
