  1. Don't forget to ask him if he's gay... https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/was-alexander-the-great-gay.129435/ https://www.companyofmen.org/threads/was-alexander-the-great-gay.143224/
  2. I know this is a dumb question, but since I keep my cell phone turned off unless I need to make a call or send a text (I still have a landline in my apartment), but am always on my desktop computer, can you download and use apps from one? I go a few days at a time without talking to anyone (except myself).
  3. I didn't know Denny's had valets or wine... that shows you how often I go out for fine dining.
  4. I'd prefer it if I could do it whilst living, as opposed to dead...

  6. I think all you need to know is that White Castle is his favorite.
  7. It would be much more understandable, and palatable, if it were about a baby and an adoption agency.
  8. Step aside chicken sandwich wars: Fish sandwiches are the latest weapon in a heavyweight battle among fast food chains. For a limited time, Arby's will sell a Crispy Fish Sandwich, which retails for $2.99 and King’s Hawaiian Fish Deluxe with a retail price of $3.99. The sandwich will be available from now until March 29th. During this weekend's Saturday Night Live episode, Arby's unveiled a cheeky ad designed in part to tweak competitors like McDonald's and Popeye's, which earlier this month added a Cajun Flounder Sandwich as a follow-up to wildly successful chicken sandwich. In addition to Wendy's recently debuted a Crispy Panko Fish Sandwich, replacing its traditional cod version. Normally known for its beef sandwiches, Arby's announced that consumers "who have ever settled for a disappointing fast-food fish sandwich" now have an opportunity to try their limited-edition fish sandwiches — for free. Consumers can head to the website ArbysFishCheck.com to claim a check, each for $3.79, which is the average menu price of quick-service-restaurant fish sandwiches — but only "while the vault’s still open." For those not lucky enough to score a check, Arby's is also offering a grand check prize of $379 until March 12th. “For anyone who has had second thoughts about eating a square-fish sandwich, it’s time for a fish ‘do-over,’ Arby’s chief marketing officer Patrick Schwing told Yahoo Finance — taking a pointed swipe at the Golden Arches' Filet-O-Fish, a perennial menu favorite. "That’s why we’re mailing out thousands of checks to try an Arby’s Crispy Fish Sandwich, as our fish sandwiches featuring wild-caught Alaskan Pollock continue to be one of our guests’ favorite seasonal menu offerings," Schwing added.
  9. An Indian man was stabbed to death by his own rooster after he attached a 3-inch knife to its leg for an illegal cockfight, police said Sunday. Thangulla Satish, 45, was stabbed in the groin last week when the bird he had just armed for the fight fluttered in panic, according to police in Lothunur village in Telangana state. “Satish was hit by the rooster’s knife in his groin and started bleeding heavily,” police inspector B. Jeevan said Sunday, revealing that the victim died on his way to a local hospital. Police are now looking for over a dozen other people involved in organizing the deadly cockfight, warning that they could face up to two years in prison if found guilty. The rooster survived, with photos of it tied with a rope and pecking on grains at the police station went viral locally on social media. “We may need to produce it before the court,” Jeevan said. In the fights — banned in India in 1960 — two birds with a knife or blade attached fight until one either dies or flees. Despite the nationwide ban, they remain common in the southern Indian states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, often under the watch of powerful, local politicians with big-money bets.

  12. WHATEVER POSSESSED HER TO EVEN TRY? An ailing 73-year-old woman died while climbing the stairs to her 19th-floor apartment during a massive power outage at her Co-Op City complex in the Bronx on Friday. The woman, who emigrated from Haiti 8 years ago and worked as a home health aide until getting sick and requiring oxygen, had reached the 18th floor of her De Kruif Place building and had just one more story to go when her oxygen tank apparently gave out and she collapsed sometime around 3 p.m. She was found in the stairwell between the 18th and 19th floors. Her cause of death was under investigation, and it was possible she died from the fall. Thousands of Co-Op City residents were left without power, water and heat into early Saturday after a basement transformer caught fire Friday morning. “The damage caused by the transformer fire is extensive and will take a while to repair,” the Co-Op City Department of Public Safety tweeted at 6:30 p.m. Friday. “If there are no further incidents, we estimate that electric, water and heat services will be restored sometime late tonight or early this morning,” the tweet said. Community rooms elsewhere in the massive complex were open as warming and cell-phone-charging centers, the officials said. “The power is slowly being restored!” the officials tweeted at 11 p.m. Co-Op City is the largest co-op in the country (and presumably the world), and has its own power plant and doesn’t depend on Con Edison for power. The woman and her husband had 5 children… 4 daughters who are all teachers and a son who is a lawyer. To have had such a productive life and then die like that…IDIOTIC (and really sad).

  15. Meghan McCain responds to critics of her hair and makeup on 'The View': 'Let a b**** live!' Meghan McCain knows you're talking about her hair and makeup — but it's all in the name of experimentation. On Thursday, The View co-host addressed recent comments about her ever-changing hairstyles, ranging from sleek ponytails to curly tendril upsweeps and glittery roots, not to mention her colorful eye makeup. "People have a lot to say about me in general but in regards to my hair and makeup…" McCain tweeted. "I'm just having fun switching up, playing around and experimenting. It's COVID and I just had a baby, let a bitch live!" Earlier this month, after criticism for a super-high ponytail she achieved with hair extensions, McCain tweeted, "Can a bitch experiment with extensions and hair pieces? It's the pandemic, I don't have that much to entertain me anymore." She also called out her "incredible, talented, creative" hairstylist Carmen Currie (who also does McCain's makeup), sharing a compilation of her work on Instagram. "Thank you…for making me feel human again after giving birth!" she wrote. A Thursday interview with White House press secretary Jen Psaki elicited jokes about the TV host going to "prom" and her "soap opera hair." Though one fan called it "art." And a lighthearted Twitter thread compared McCain's eclectic hairstyles to decadent desserts such as pastries and cupcakes. Last month, McCain retweeted a screenshot of herself wearing yellow eyeshadow writing, "Can a bitch experiment with her makeup?! I liked it!" Though McCain was called a Star Trek and Real Housewife cast member, one responded that experimentation is a "simple joy" during the pandemic and that her look was on-trend. "People will always find something about you they dislike because they don’t like the policy you espouse," wrote someone else. Many joked that McCain's hairstylist was "trolling" the co-host. Currie did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Yahoo Life. As a conservative member of The View, McCain is used to defending her opinions, but she draws the line at comments about her appearance. "I hope this doesn’t come across as arrogant in any way, but I think I’m really good at talking about politics,” she said in a March episode of The View. “It’s the only thing I think I’m really good at. But I would like to talk about politics and not have every comment be about the way I look and my weight. It makes you feel weird. Men just don’t have that problem." https://www.aol.com/lifestyle/meghan-mccain-responds-critics-her-195434674.html
  16. His Latin name was Firmus Maximus. In the grand tradition of A. Whitney Brown that would be A. Moxie Sillen, which I have to take 4 of before any dental procedure.
  17. Dear Abby: A beautiful flower arrangement was delivered to me at my home today. While on the phone, I told my friend about the thoughtful gift and mentioned that my two cats wouldn’t leave it alone. She said, “I hope there aren’t any lilies in it!” There were, Abby — white oriental lilies. I Googled it and discovered they are very poisonous to cats, although not to other animals. When I called the florist, they claimed not to know. Thought your readers should! — Loves my Felines Dear Loves: I agree. And thank you for sharing that information. I learned from my own Google search that lilies are not the only flowers that are poisonous for pets. Azaleas, daffodils, amaryllis, chrysanthemums, tulips, oleander, hyacinth, English ivy, sago palm, cyclamen, autumn crocus, widow’s thrill, hydrangea, aloe vera, caladium, pothos, philodendron, lily of the valley, castor bean, poinsettia, asparagus fern, peace lily and corn plants can be lethal as well. Kitty lovers, be warned!
