Soooo, since this place was last taken over by little control freaks who were 40 years old or older and considered the format a venue for high school like clique assignements....

Has there been any 'return' to normalcy or is it still a hellhole.

On a 1-10 scale of 'things found in the street
(1 a button, 3 a paperclip, 5 small denomination coin, 7 large denomination coin, 9 banknote, 10 something so expensive you should hand it in)

How would you score a safetypin?

In the UK there is a difference. A caretaker is a janitor. A caregiver is a social worker or other official carer of an invalid person.


Us older people in Canuckistan tend to use the words as Chris described (although a caretaker could also be a gardener), but the kids are mixing them up. I blame cable TV, with all those funny foreign stations like El Jazira and Fox.

If "endowed" women receive preferential hiring at HOOTERS, are amputees similarly valued at IHOP?

If it takes a Scarecrow and a half a day and a half to drink a keg and a half, how many monkeys will fit comfortably into a barrel?

15-1/2 including the typewriter to produce the Works of Shakespeare.

Then would that half a monkey be considered Rhesus pieces?
