Woman: Do you drink beer?
Man: Yes
Woman: How many beers a day?
Man: Usually about 3
Woman: How much do you pay per beer?
Man: $5.00 which includes a tip
Woman: And how long have you been drinking?
Man: About 20 years, I suppose
Woman: So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450. In one year, it would be approximately $5400.. correct?
Man: Correct
Woman: If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?
Man: Correct
Woman: Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?
Man: Do you drink beer?
Woman: No
Man: What color is your Ferrari?
Well, only three beers a day is a lightweight! I was going to say I’d have money for a Ferrari in half the time, but then I remember I don’t pay anywhere near five dollars a beer. Luckily, I don’t need a car because I don’t drink and drive.
Alright, now that we have that out of the way, let me tell you about yesterday’s Hash. As expected, the trail was long and hard. But Leech My Nuggets is one of my favorite Hares because he not only lays a well-marked trail (meaning it’s hard to get lost), but he also provides options to ease the burden for those of us who need them. My group did the first big hill climb but then opted for a walkaround Black Rock and the final up. So, it was a good day on trail for everyone!
But the downward part of the trek was whole new experience.
And as is our custom, after the circle some of the Hasher reconvened at It Doesn’t Matter.
When we’d had more than enough to drink, Swan and I headed for the safety of home and episode 4 of “Squid Game.” Lots more bloodshed, and this one ended with a cliffhanger–who’s at the end of their rope? I’ll find out tonight!
I’m just throwing today’s YouTube video out there for whatever it is worth. Why the US vice-president would engage this issue doesn’t make sense to me, but maybe I’m missing something. Anyway, the vlogger gives it a positive spin, regardless of whether it is likely to happen.
To the humor we must go:
That’s pretty much all I’ve got for now. After the doctor visit, we’ll head out to the Kokomo’s floating bar for some rockin’ on the bay. Assuming all goes well, I’ll be back again tomorrow.
then opted for a walkaround Black Rock and the final up.
walkaround = compound noun
to walk around = phrasal verb
walk around = noun phrase (noun + preposition)
I took a walk around town. It was a nice walkaround.
A pleasant riverside stroll to kick things off
What does that purplish cloth on the left signify? Or is it garbage?
Up and at ’em!
Would you say Tim is improving?
I’ve been lamenting the rape of that hillside which is visible for miles around.
I’ve written about the ugliness of West Virginia strip mining before. It’s depressing when people simply rip open or shave clean natural features like that. I’m no greenie, but we all could make more effort to live more harmoniously with nature. And that certainly includes being more mindful of our litter. And maybe not ripping layers and layers off mountainsides.
And the hard and easy meet again!
The sign on the building says “Subic Slaughterhouse.” Does it stink? Is it really a literal slaughterhouse?
Greetings[,] Lick and Spit
I guess she’s the local “hawk tuah” girl. Did you see that that chick is in trouble for a possible crypto scam? She didn’t set up the scam, but she lured lots of people into it, maybe inadvertently. That’s when brains would’ve helped.
Hmm, I’ll be seeing Dr. Jo this afternoon…
In that doctor/pills meme, there are six errors. Can you find them all?
If Tim’s planning on living in the PI six months out of the year, he has to know he can’t act like a two-week millionaire every single day.
Actually, that doctor/pills meme has seven errors. Amazing how much retardation one can cram into a single meme.
So, when exploring in the DMZ, walk around the landmines. You don’t want to blow that!
I hadn’t even noticed that cloth when we hiked by, but it could be to help passersby notice the barbed wire fence. Or it might be someone just hung their shit there and forgot about it. Odds are better for the latter.
Yes, Tim is doing a good job on our hikes. The proper footwear helps, of course, but he appears stronger during the climbs as well.
The hillside will look better once the roads are paved and there are some houses up there. I’m guessing Alta Vista had a similar look in the early days. It has just been frustrating that the work is progressing so slowly. I thought they might have given up on the project, but I saw a few workers building curbs and gutters during the hike. At the rate they are going, it will be years before they are finished.
The slaughterhouse is another weird thing. It was built well over a year ago and is indeed intended to be where pigs go to die (that lechon isn’t going to make itself!). But as far as I can tell, it has never opened for business—usually a couple of maintenance guys out front, but no sign of any animals or murderous activity.
Lick and Spit (aka Ashley) runs It Doesn’t Matter with her husband, Chris. I hadn’t heard about the troubles of the actual “hawk tuah” girl. That first interview that led to her fame was funny, but I haven’t cared enough to follow her story after that. Hope she didn’t fuck up her opportunity.
Yes, I’m sure Tim will figure out how NOT to spend his dough. He told me he is on a vacation budget and staying within the boundaries he’s set. When Tim’s here for the longer term, the things he’s lovin’ now will grow old and the repetition boring. He’ll be fine.
I don’t know, you’ve seen the retardation I can fill a blog post with.
It’s early in the morning for brain gymnastics, but here we go:
1: “this pills” should be “these pills”
2. “everyday” is two words
3. there should be a period at the end of the sentences
4. “is” should be “are”
5. “3” should be spelled out
6. there should be a comma before “doctor”
7. I can’t find it. Does that make me ignorant or apathetic?
