I would tattoo “Staycation” on my arse if it deleted the word Holibob from existence.

Ding ding ding.
Square go?
They stagger down the Sauchiehall in single file to hide their numbers.
At first a nibble. Then a slow tempting lick. I suck and munch my liquid lunch; And then I swallow quick.
Why?
Poor Monty, you ever die young, or live long enough to resemble a Peter Howson painting.
I listen to mostly upbeat stuff.
Surrealist/Absurd Comedy
Dungeons & Dragons
Star Trek
My parents started calling me it about thirty years ago; it’s either an allusion to the fact I have broken so many bones, or a tacit admission that I was an unplanned pregnancy. Or both.
The hivemind is an analogy for the way the average person had turned on the war and viewed it as a national disgrace. Just watch that opening act of Rambo, the soldiers returning from Nam late in the conflict came home to joblessness and derision. A far cry from the parades and support of the GI bill the generation before had.
Haldeman is trying to show a universal truth of long wars, at some point the home you left stops existing, and you return to a place that isn’t what you fought for in the first place, though of course Haldeman takes this to absurdity almost. Like many vets of Vietnam Mandela and his fellow soldiers are now so feared and removed that society doesn’t have a mechanism for integration. Haldeman uses genetic and cultural shifts to represent the more subtle social ones.
Forever War and Forever Free are an amazing duo. I don’t think they are amateurish though, Haldeman writes these exactly as they need to be to represent the difficulty Vietnam vets faced returning home.
Edit: I confused the novels Forever Free and Forever Peace. Forever Free is the duet to Forever War, while Forever Peace is disconnected but plays with similar themes as both Forever War and Ender’s Game.
Aye, they added a fair bit of salt to their tea that day!
Belfast?
Well, in fairness to them, I learned I don’t want no Scrubs. Which is good as I think that aired on ABC
Prismic structures give me horrible indigestion I’m afraid.
Speak for yourself. I can only eat foods served in Pyramids, this Christmas is going to be all Profiterols and Goa’uld Symbiots.
Why would he know, that’s a screenshot of an android device.
Honestly, I get your point, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a property of the scale, rather your increased familiarity with it. When someone says 68F I don’t have a mechanism to understand that, it’s not part of my experience. Saying 68% of too hot doesn’t help much at all. Whereas I can tell you exactly what I 40C feels like; and how that compares to anything from -15C to 45C, because of my familiarity with the scale.
One general waste wheelie. One food waste caddy. One blue tub (paper and card). One black tub (other recyclables)
It is not remotely onerous. Anyone who thinks it is is either an invalid, in which case the council should make accommodations, or a lazy cunt.
I think that’s part of the joke too. Like the whole comic has been written out of order due to race conditions; rather than just the father represents race conditions.
It’s one degree of humour too far though, if that’s the case, doesn’t really land.
