Whatever: The Open Lines Thread

[PolkaDot]

Well, I've never been to the South (or Mid-West, East Coast, Texas, or even Las Vegas).  Am I missing out on personal riches?

Is Texas considered The South? Or is it its own thing? @GravitySucks  do you have thoughts on this?

Las Vegas is California, everyone knows that.

Huh.  I would have guessed scallywag was a pirate thing.

It is, but it is also other things.

Was out scrapping ice of the steps and doing other stuff in the cold.  Thought to myself
"Self.  A grilled cheese and some soup would be good for lunch".  So went over to the Panera Bread for the first time in forever.

Grilled cheese, soup and a drink was like eighteen bucks. Grilled cheese was ok but the soup was down right bad. Pretty disappointing.

YEESH that's a tall order.

Technically you’ve been to Texas when driving across what is now Colorado

So I lived in Denver, Texas.

Nope.

Denver (located in north-central Colorado, around 39.7°N latitude and 105°W longitude) fell well outside this claimed territory. The Republic’s claims in Colorado were limited to western and southern portions (e.g., areas around the headwaters of the Rio Grande, including places like modern Aspen, Vail, Crested Butte, and Steamboat Springs in the southwest and west-central parts of the state). Eastern and central Colorado, including the Denver area, were not included in Texas’ claims.

Savannah Guthrie’s mom’s disappearance now being investigated as crime: ‘She did not leave on her own’

What is weird to me, is that there doesn't seem to have been, at the very least, a doorbell cam that could give a view of the front driveway where blood was found.

Was there a cam?
What was on the cam?
Was it disabled or destroyed??

You colonizing bastards! Even tried to take a chunk of Wyoming.

Smh. Careful Grav, we’ll let Mexico have you back if you can’t play nice.

Tonight the d.o.g. Ate a fricken brisket off the counter. 

It was 10 hours in the making. I don’t even know how she was able to eat it before I realized. Does she have a flip top head I’m not aware of?

I’m sure she’s going to be sick. Should we take bets on what time the puking and shitting happens? My bet’s on 2:00 am.    perhaps I should be thankful it wasn’t pork.

Anyone want a boxer?
