I remember an old internet page back in the 90s that told you the exact timestamp to pause DVD's of Disney animated features to see subliminal sexually explicit messages. As I recall, most of them just vaguely resembles penises, though I think there was a genuine explicit image in the film The Rescuers that led to a recall.; 11/21/19, 11:54 AM

Lucid-Ideas said...: Remember the sky-penis? Looks like after the pearl-clutchers got him fired the only job he could get was at Walgreens. Fear not. His legend lives on!

(fyi the AF pilot who did the sky penis was not, in fact, dismissed. Only reprimanded.); 11/21/19, 11:58 AM

Guildofcannonballs said...: Walgreens?

I was just at Kwik Trip. 49 cents for a dozen grade A large eggs.

That is not a typo.

Under half a dollar (US) for 12 eggs.

That is amazing.

That and folks (ostensibly customers) down South helping out, for no direct reimbursement, the Waffle House staff until the scheduled employees arrive makes me wonder how anyone could not have extreme gratitude to be an American in 2019.

24 eggs for 98 cents are you joking???; 11/21/19, 12:11 PM

stevew said...: "I was just at Kwik Trip. 49 cents for a dozen grade A large eggs."

Wow, $1.99 around here (northeast of Boston). Mrs. stevew usually does the grocery shopping and is fond of buying the "organic" eggs, and spends closer to $6 per dozen for the privilege. I eat eggs in some form or another nearly every morning for breakfast, mrs. stevew is not an egg eater. One time a year or two ago when she was traveling I had to replenish the egg supply. At first picked up the organic ones she usually buys but also happened to look at the price of them and the regular, "non-organic" eggs. Bought the cheaper ones instead and discovered they are just as good, for 1/3 the price.

Still haven't succeeded in convincing mrs. stevew to get the cheaper eggs.; 11/21/19, 12:53 PM

That was actually on a Madison subreddit I follow, but I joined r/mildlypenis long ago and enjoy it very much. It’s wholesome.; 11/21/19, 4:08 PM
