If you click on this thread you must post on it...

Like "pooling resources," I imagine. But then that's a whole other etymology thing !

I've just been hiding out in the bedroom with the AC and my kitty as it's HOT and HUMID again. But at least that forced me to do some dang writing stuff today.
 
This talk of hot dogs reminds me: if you visit Terry Pratchett's Discworld, you absolutely must (not) try CMOT Dibbler's sausages-inna-bun. ;) They are unique in their awfulness.

That most famous of Ankh-Morpork snack foods, not much is known about the recipe; presumably no-one has ever wanted to find out, for obvious reasons (at least, reasons obvious to anyone who has ever tasted a sausage-in-a-bun). All we do know is that an Ankh-Morpork sausage of the kind used here would be classed in other countries as a loaf or possibly a log, and when there is meat somewhere in there, it is not necessarily meat from something that butchers in our world would consider using. And even when there is meat from a named domesticated animal involved, the name of the said domesticated animal was probably something along the lines of "Spot" or "Ginger".

Another point about sausages-in-buns is that they do, on occasion, have to be stunned before being served up.

Only one person has ever eaten three sausages-inna-bun in one sitting and remained upright. That should let you know how bad they are.

Incidentally, the "CMOT" in Dibbler's name stands for "Cut-me-own-throat", which refers to his usual selling point: "Just ten pence for you, sir, and at that price, I'm cutting me own throat!"
 
We're throwing a birthday party for my sister and niece (their birthdays are one day apart) at the end of the month with a Dancing Queen - Mamma Mia theme, and it is amazing how much Dancing Queen - Mamma Mia - themed merchandise you can get online!
 
I've not see the movie. When I was in my twenties, I had a boyfriend who was the quintessential biker who kept his Harley in the living room and his couch on the front porch. He loved ABBA. I loved the odd juxtaposition of jagger-drinking bad ass and the strains of Take a Chance on Me somewhere in the background.
 
I've already ordered my outfit. A vibrant, colourful, floral-printed bell-bottomed outfit!
 
We even ordered a big cloth backdrop of a lovely Greek waterfront scene to take photos in front of.
 
And you should see some of the pieces I have from the 1980s! I used one sequined top for a Hallowe'en costume not too long ago.
 
That reminds me of an old joke. What is the difference between a horse and a duck?

A horse goes quick and a duck goes quack.
 
🤣

I love silly jokes. No doubt my sense of humor was warped by elephant jokes in my formative years.

Why does an elephant float down the river on her back?

To keep from getting her tennis shoes wet.

I'm a big hit at gatherings of five-year-olds.
