FOLIO OLIO: PEOPLE NOT LIKE US

QUEUE: a line or sequence of people or vehicles awaiting their turn to be attended to or to proceed.
It is also the stupidest word of which I know. Think about it, it looks like it should be pronounced Q-U, but it's really pronounced just Q. Further, I am of the opinion that language is ridiculously difficult for no other reason than we humans don't like change. Spelling words as simple as possible (U, R, Y, B, Q) is deemed social childishness, a sign of ignorance and/or just plain vulgar, when in fact it's a brilliant simplification that shouldn't require an explanation.

At what point does a "Protest" turn into an all out "Riot"?

If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn?

A rock?!? A FUCKING ROCK!?!?!?!

A line from a movie:
"The naughty bits and the dirty bits are so close together, it just goes to show you how eating and sex are so closely related."

Well, this makes me feel just a little better about myself...

Speaking of....

And yet these sons a bitches are seventy-fucking-years old...

Thought provoking juxtaposition....always thought provoking....

Words can not express the images flashing through my imagination...

(notice the colors on the twirler)

Just a girl who has the guts to fight for her right to go topless just like the men. I applaud her.

Breasts are interesting. A woman will wear this dress then complain that men never make eye contact with her.

Girls, if you want to be listened to, then cover those things up. We can't resist.

This woman is about the same age as my wife. I showed her this picture and asked her, "What's up with that?"
