Does the toaster still work?
I rather not try. Why, you want it? 5 bucks sounds fair
No. Toast, like you said, always makes a bunch of crumbs, and then the roaches, usually the big fuckers, scurry around on the kitchen floor and table top at night to eat them. I wouldn’t care, but I try to keep my beer in the fridge, which is in the kitchen, so I spot the roaches with my flashlight when I go fetch another beer. So I quit toasting any bread.

Who the hell cuts out the middle of the shirt? Goddamn that's a lot of chest hair.
Allow me to field this question.

Disturbingly, he's not actually wearing a t-shirt. What you are seeing are the remnants of a white cotton t-shirt sewn into a denim vest. Why? Well, the dude still wants to show off the bearskin rug on his chest, but he still needs a place to roll up his pack of Marbs after he's done eating his Big Macs and beating the shit out of Hunter S. Thompson for stalking him all over the place.

I hope this answer was helpful.

Almost as many questions as there is chest hair.

You get used to ‘em. They ain’t near as bad as rats. How big was that rat? As big as a Mississippi catfish, not counting the tail. You don’t eat rats, do you? No son, we don’t eat rats.

Charles Joughin, the chief baker aboard the Titanic, emerged as an improbable survivor of the tragic sinking of the ship. During the British Titanic inquiry, he faced questioning by Mr. Cotter, a part of the investigative effort to determine the circumstances of the ship's demise. Here is an excerpt from his interrogation:

Mr. Cotter: "What did you do with the children when you put them into the boat?"
Joughin: "Handed them into the boat or dropped them in."
Mr. Cotter: "Threw them in?"
Joughin: "Threw them in."
Mr. Cotter: "And what did you do with the mother?"
Joughin: "We wanted to throw her in, and I think she preferred to try and step in."
Mr. Cotter: "What happened?"
Joughin: "She missed her footing."
Mr. Cotter: "You said that you never went into your boat. Why did you not go, seeing that you were in charge?"
Joughin: "I would have set a bad example if I had jumped into the boat. None of the men felt inclined to get into the boat."
Mr. Cotter: "When you found your boat had gone you said you went down below. What did you do when you went down below?"
Joughin: "I went to my room for a drink."
Mr. Cotter: "Drink of what?"
Joughin: "Spirits."
The Commissioner: "Does it very much matter what it was?"
Mr. Cotter: "Yes, my Lord, this is very important because I am going to prove, or rather my suggestion is, that he then saved his life. I think his getting a drink had a lot to do with saving his life."

Despite his responsibilities in assisting women and children into lifeboats, Joughin repeatedly returned to his cabin for alcoholic drinks. As the final lifeboats left, he remained composed and rode the sinking Titanic down to the icy waters.

In general, a person under the influence of alcohol is more susceptible to freezing to death due to vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels, which causes blood to move away from vital organs toward the skin's surface, increasing the risk of hypothermia. However, the frigid temperature of the North Atlantic Sea that night, approximately -2 degrees Celsius (26.4 degrees Fahrenheit), was cold enough to constrict Joughin's blood vessels, offsetting the effects of the alcohol. Joughin reported feeling relatively calm in the water and experienced no pain.

Joughin spent two hours in the water before managing to climb onto an overturned lifeboat. He was later rescued by a passing lifeboat. This incredible tale of survival underscores the extraordinary circumstances and individual choices that played a role in the Titanic disaster.

That is the best fucking story I’ve ever read or heard. That is a truly remarkable story. It’s written so low key. Thank you Artful! Now, I’m waiting patiently and a little on the boozed up side for Kentucky Outlaw by Hugh. I hope I didn’t fuck that order up.

Also, my job is to feed the cats their supper at night. One of the cats died. How do you know that, Thompson?

Because she got all sickly looking and shriveled up and quit coming around for supper.

Where do cats go to die?

Boy, that is a tough question. I don’t know.

Does Chester get along with the cats?

It’s a mutual standoff. They pretend not to like each other but they do.

It appears we had a conflict between PHPBB (the board software) and Spamhaus, as referenced here: https://www.spamhaus.org/resource-hub/e ... onggreater

I turned off the IP check, but we'll probably have to update the board sooner than later. And you remember how fun that is. Chaos! Collapse! And finally, Redemption!
