Thanks.

Go the other way.

Bring a big antipasto for people to nibble on while they wait.

Do they have black pepper on the tables?

I once heard a US Southern expression.

“Food so good it’ll make you slap your mama.”

You comment brought that to mind.

I’ve repeated this one too many times.

After the pussy grabber tape came out, a Conservative woman went on The View TV show to defend Trump.

One of the other panelists kept repeating the word ‘pussy.’

Finally, the Conservative woman had to ask her to stop using that offensive term.

Pretzel logic repeated for a decade.

From the book “Zombie Jamboree” by Robert Merkin.

Paraphrased. The hero is a New York City draftee who is told that Nixon is ending the draft.

He says it’s a terrible idea. Draftees know they are going to leave the Army eventually, and won’t obey illegal orders. Lifers will do whatever they are told.

Hunter Thompson was in the Air Force. He said that the draft forced all kinds of people to live and work together.

There’s only one way to learn to talk to people, and that’s by talking to people.

This was an interesting exchange of ideas.

Thank you

Good point.

But, unless you’re talking about a hypothetical situation where the art was hidden away and rediscovered, the work must have had some merit or it wouldn’t have lasted 100 years.

Rhea Seehorn has a new show starting soon on Apple + streaming. “Pluribus” was created by the Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad team.

You can dislike something, and still appreciate its merits.

Say I get a bowl of broccoli soup. Is the bowl clean? Is the soup the right temperature? Was it made with wholesome ingredients? I may not want it because I don’t like broccoli, but I wouldn’t tell someone else not to try it.

Objectively, it’s a good bowl of soup.

See?

I consider myself openminded and tolerant.

I once heard a fellow say he was from Minnesota and he thought ketchup was too spicy.

Outwardly I stayed calm but in my heart I wanted to burn the heretic.

If an art work has been popular for years, has won dozens of awards, is used by experts as an example of excellence, isn’t it ‘objectively’ good?

I understand your point, that a person might not like a particular movie or game and therefore think it’s ‘not good.’

I’m saying that even when you’re talking about a subjective experience there are criteria that a disinterested party can rate and successful or unsuccessful.

I read a Matt Helm spy thriller where the hero knows that his boss has been replaced by a double because the real guy would never use ‘decimate’ to mean ‘eradicate.’

And you keep on amusing me by pretending to be an adult.

I got a huge laugh out of the idea of you actually having the nerve to say that you Ice-T or Ice Cube, or saying anything bad about Washington to one of the people who worship him.

Actually imagining you outside, touching grass was pretty funny.

Think of it this way.

The wife is concerned with a lot of things; the mortgage, the kids, family obligations, etc etc. When the man talks to her, she’s bringing him problems.

The sugar baby only has to worry about keeping him happy.

At least he wasn’t a slave owner like Washington and Jefferson.
