If we can use the wrong Mt Olympus, we can use the wrong Georgia.

It’s zero days till Christmas, because it’s still Christmas for 10 more days.

Yeah, it’s weird but hear me out. What they’re referring to is a latte macchiato, which is the opposite of the traditional espresso machiatto you’re familiar with. The word macchiato translates as “marked”. So an espresso machiatto is an espresso that is marked (with milk), and a latte macchiato is milk with only a marking of espresso. Confusing if you’ve only heard of one of them, but it does make sense. A lot of Americans are only familiar with the latte macchiato, and major chain shops like Starbucks don’t even know what an espresso macchiato is.

True, but I’m banking on the magic glasses getting them to open up about their ulterior motives so I can filter accordingly.

Delegate! Just use the glasses to convince qualified trustworthy people to run the world for you.

I respect any soda that puts in the time and effort to earn a doctorate degree. You know who I don’t respect? Mr. Pibb, who can can take his undergrad ass and fuck right off.

Are we talking Albert Einstein at his peak, or Albert Einstein now?

It’s only ever “the website formerly know as Twitter” to me.

This makes me want to learn the hurdy-gurdy even more! I mean, in reality, I’m never putting in the time to learn to play it anyway. So, in the fantasy of me being dedicated enough to learn to play an instrument, the added fantasy of me maintaining a finely tuned instrument is just added appeal.

I used a similar setup once in the Appalachians. The back wall was fortunately still standing. I had been backpacking for 3 days and hadn’t gone once, so I was backed up, but all that activity kept it loose. The view was absolutely beautiful. The open walls let in a fresh breeze, so no outhouse smell at all. Once I forced myself to get over the awkwardness of the exposure and just go, it all came together. Best Shit Of My Life. 20 odd years later that dump still ranks among the most sublime moments I have ever experienced.
