So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

Outdying! This seersucker blazer will see me out and if seersucker is out of fashion, so be it.
Fashion is fickle, style is forever.

I'll bet Tina tailored that shirt lucky guy.

My loungers, how often do you replace your toilet brush?

I always thought, it would depend on how much persons are in the household and how they treat it. I'm 1-person house.
The brush is still the very first, now twelve years old, doesn't look that bad and still does the job. Any real reason to replace??

The Marketing Boys??

Are you telling us you don’t have staff to tend to such matters?

Over here in the free-market West, even welfare recipients have domestic help, who themselves have domestic help.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Any brush that starts to lose bristles should be replaced. Otherwise, out of sight, out of mind. If it turns color, dunk it in a pail of disinfectant.

Indeed she did, but she wasn't impressed when I joked that it was a plane shirt.

It's a crap job but someone has to do it.

And it's turtles all the way down.

You're supposed to replace them?! The only time I've ever replaced mine is if it breaks.

Pfff, rookie. The handle on ours cracked a year after we moved in. That was nearly 24 years ago and we're still using it.


BTW: Note to Nathan Flowers and whoever else is responsible for this software--these Smileys/Emoticons are just plain awful.

 

[Trenchfriend]

You're supposed to replace them?!

Nope. Just wondered, that many people seem to replace it every year or so. From what I heared and read.

So it seems that "bruh" has replaced "bro" in urban vernacular? How does that work? Has there been an inordinate influx of Germans recently?

I would tell you, if i could! But I live in smalltown, far from reality.

That's ok, we all know that genuine reality can only be found on the internet.

Wo sind Sie Trench?

I once had an apartment in Munich.

Middle of Germany.
But it's always kind of funny, when I'm visiting big city and see social reality.

Many years ago in Munich I met this girl, gorgeous blonde, we were both
teenagers, her father was American, had fought in the OSS, stayed in Germany,
married a local girl, and his daughter I immediately fell for. She knocked my
socks off. And she slipped away.

But, I met the most fascinating man through military contact. A middle aged
German veteran, an ex-commando who escaped the Soviets in Yugoslavia
when the Second World War ended; joined the French Foreign Legion, went to
Indochina, later hooked up with the Americans and spent a career with the
CIA. When we met he was retired. Fascinating gentleman.

I couldn't tell you, because "bruh" and "bro" are slang I've chosen not to use for the same reason I've never used "groovy" unless I was being facetious--they're all words that make the user sound stupid, and I don't need any help in that department.

...I once had an apartment in Munich.

Sounds like the first line of a limerick: "There was an apartment in Munich, whose owner always wore a tunic...."

Limerick usage Ireland boyo, not Germany. And Uncle Sam was landlord.

Nahhh, limericks are pretty much universal these days. Trouble is, so many of them are of an "adult" nature and shouldn't be recited in polite company.

There was a young girl from South Main
Whose character was without stain
But the fleet sailed in
She fell into sin
And saw her life go down the drain.
