Fetal alcohol syndrome is the gift that keeps on giving.

"Damn, I should have paid that guy to shoot him years ago."

I went to a college that was 2.5 hours away by car and 6 hours by bus. And that six hours didn't count the half hour it took to get a ride to the bus stop from my college. At least the bus let off in my hometown so my folks didn't have to go far to pick me up.

I'll freely admit that I cannot comprehend the temporal ordering of twitter comments.

In Japan they're called blue onions - neither blue nor onions.

Cultures around the world divide the color spectrum up in wildly different ways, which really highlights the absurdity of "color" being a real, objective property. There's one culture (I forget which, somewhere in Africa) where all the "dark" variants of colors are called by the same name. Other cultures often combine texture and other properties into their words for colors.

It was "purpura" in Latin. OP said purple is relatively modern in English.

In Japan green onions are called "blue onions". I do not know why.

I'm a school bus driver and one time I was chewing out some misbehaving kids. At one point I said "if you guys don't stop I'm going to report you to the principal and he's going to, uh, give you a stern talking-to" and I just started laughing because it was so pathetic. The Repubs are like the kids on my bus: they know they can do whatever they like and nobody's going to be able to do anything about it.

If you're the same age as me you might have watched the Roots miniseries. I recommend not rewatching that one. It had a huge impact on me as a kid as far as awakening me to some of the horrors of my country's past. I tried rewatching it and couldn't make it past OJ Simpson wearing some sort of pseudo-African clown costume.

Unimpeachable: Republicans control too many seats to ever allow successful impeachment (even less conviction) of any of their loyal gang members.
