Re Calling to tell someone you've sent an email: Today, there are several younger-than-I-am people I need to text to tell them I've sent an email. It's really the only way they'd know to look at their email.
I'm hopeless at texting (except when I dictate), so I often text a brief reply to a question my daughter has texted me, adding "See email" for the details.
I voted for the pandemic/Dem panic spooneristic entry because I had submitted several of my own like it. Then, I saw Chris's on Losernet on groups.io after the contest closed and knew his was superior.
I even wrote him behind the scenes about its inkworthiness. I had dashed hopes as one of many online hashed dopes.
The only hope of the party formerly known as Republican regaining its needed role as the legitimate loyal opposition is to be crushed in the coming election and probably the midterms after that. Ground unsparingly into the political dirt. Trumpism won't suddenly go away, even if he mercifully does, but at least true conservatives or traditional Republicans can warily emerge from the shadows and attempt to more easily reclaim their political collective. So, a resounding win for Democrats in Nov. is one for Republicans as well. And for the eventual reestablishment of the legitimate two-party (at least...) system.
"Not impossible. I’d love it to be true." Me, too. My take on this election has been: "rope-a-dope." And obviously Trump is falling for it. He has peaked out and likely will finish with a whimper. Perhaps with fading words that will never pass on the media.
I had a boss in the mid-90s who had his assistant print his emails. Then he hand-wrote replies on them which she then put in our paper inboxes. We then usually replied in another email starting the cycle again. So speedy and efficient.
Spelling bee: Accepts "alright" and "bicep" but not "haha" (a landscaping device) or "atlatl." Also accepts "gonna," "dunno," "gimme," etc., which I'm inured to, but I will never accept "alright" and "bicep."
Agreed. It is a shoddy puzzle. My yardstick for being outraged is that the word be in Merriam Webster. haha is two words in Merriam, so that doesn't bother me. atlatl is in merriam but, um, i didn't know it, so am not severely outraged. Alright is appalling to me, But Merriam says it is a 150 years old, and acceptable. Bicep is revolting, but Merriam accepts it for some reason.
There's is only ones way that Biden had this planned all along, and "played" the GOP by waiting until the timing was perfect, and that is if he's told absolutely nobody else about his plan. Nobody in Washington can keep a secret.
That would of course, make his bad ass move even more bad ass.
Actually whale, elephant and some primate species grandmothers are critical to the young's survival. I assume that comes with the equivalent of human "respect."
The link to Taylor's lyrics goes to Beatles lyrics. And the Beatles are mentioned in the Submission form:
--- Even if Taylor didn’t rhyme the line you chose, your line must rhyme with the Beatles line. Your couplet doesn’t have to be singable to the original tune, though. (If you want to hear the songs, here's a link to the album itself.)

I do that too!

Vicious vs. viscous -- excellent. Probably fair that's it only a HM as it is more clever than funny. But I roll that way.

"Rosebud" was more than a sled.

THAT made me laugh more than anything in today's Invitational.
The most creative honorable mention was Jesse F.'s anagram of the Alitos flagpole. I never would have thought of that one.
Jesse is the 'Vite's most talented anagrammer.

What is the correct term to use when referring to the forward facing muscle on an upper arm?
It is the biceps muscle. That is singular.

That Rifkin kid is always taking disrespectful digs at his elders. Next time I see him, I'm going whack him with my cane.
I’m going to play the long game and wait for the day he realizes he’s slamming ‘old’ people younger than him.
We'll all be dust by then.
Speak for yourself, gramps.
Does any other species respect grandparents?
Actually whale, elephant and some primate species grandmothers are critical to the young's survival. I assume that comes with the equivalent of human "respect."
They’re not expected to grab the private school tuitions are they?
As far as whales go, schooling is always free.
Whales are really into podcasting too.
Comrade,
Are you implying I am a Commie?
not at all! just a suggestion for what instead of sir or madam or ladies and gentlemen
Ah. Good.
not that there's anything wrong with that!

This has been fixed! We ARE stuck in the 20th century!
Can’t get any lower. Very true words.
