He is clearly engaged in the great ritual dance known as…
The Macarena!!
Sometimes I give myself the creeps.
Yeah, I think something like 15 would be the perfect “fuck you” amount for something beyond Starbucks and fast food. Enough to make it worth going, but only really enough for an appetizer.
Or be really horrible and just take one of the 50 or 100 ones for a decent restaurant, and just don’t get it activated. He won’t find out until they try to run it, I think.
This might be the most horrible idea I’ve ever had.
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question …
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo.
The phrase is “One bad apple spoils the barrel.”
Literally means all are bad if one is bad.
Edit: verb simplification.
Red bean anything is awesome.
But those are clearly baked beans.
There were curfews in walled towns like London: all citizens were expected to be home with their fires out once the church bells tolled nine. Or maybe it was eight. Anyway, to walk at night then was nefarious in itself, as there was absolutely nothing worth doing that wasn’t nefarious after curfew.
Yes!
Honestly, left out the cannibalism so I didn’t sound too crazy.
What a crazy context for this excerpt. Clear example of the depth of anti-semitism during this time period.
It is “A Jew” telling a Christian boy where to go in England once he gets there. While the boy thinks the Jew is looking out for him, he is actually sending him to be butchered by the Jews in Winchester, which he characterizes as the most moral place in England after he goes on and on about the wretchedness of all the other places in England the boy might come upon. He gives the boy a note to show to the Jews in Winchester, “written in Hebrew” so the boy doesn’t actually know what it says. Boy gets to Winchester and does as told, then soon disappears. Clearly he’s been killed by the Jews, but why they had to go to so much trouble to get him to Winchester is unclear.
Oh… Right… That’s because this is all made up by Christians desperate for reasons to get rid of Jews.
Thank you. That is clearly the connection lost in my brain. Always appreciate you, guy!
Just… No.
Ugh, that’s… Please, it can’t be real.
And this last one is fucking beans. Of course.
No, like seriously, what’s going on here? Is the Count cos playing Johnny Depp or something??
Hey! That’s a great scene to remember it by. I’m going to to use this in my lesson about this verb next year. Students will love it.
For real. They have to find 90 bricks of cocaine for it to become a thing, I guess.
All three are my spirit animals.
Thank you for expanding on my point. “Drawn” is the past participle, which must be used in passive constructions such as the above. “Drew” is simple past tense.
I mean, Lucifer’s fall was most likely directly after Adam was created or before that, so not really sure hookers existed yet either, as the concept of money hadn’t blighted our minds yet.
Assholes love to fail upwards.
Not trying to be a jerk. Please take this as kindly as it is meant.
The past tense of “draw” is “drawn.” It is an irregular verb in English.
Silly English.
Jessica Fletcher would figure it out when she dressed up as a drunk to tail her niece. She’d sing a bit of shanty, kiss you on the forehead, and encourage you to be yourself. You were once her student, and she always knew from your writing that you were a kind soul and a wicked plot weaver.
