  1. Scientists have been studying human decomposition for years at a place in Tennessee, law enforcement insiders, call the Body Farm. The motivation for the research is to assist law enforcement in being able to tell how long bodies dumped in the woods or buried have been there and anything else they can figure out for evidentiary purposes.
  2. Lumbago sounds like an exotic Italian dish with rutabagas or something. Since it's lower back pain, it's just as gross. Call it Lumbago Florentine: back pain with squash. Ewww!
  3. I'm getting a little shocked at how many prompts/short stories I've collected. @Ron's point about the default font size is well taken. I've started changing my font and pitch to Tahoma 20 in most of my stories and posts. It's just easier to read.
  4. I much prefer word mongers to war mongers.
  5. Our flaws define us as human. What a piece of work is man! :the Bard. He's old enough to know what's right But young enough not to choose it : Geddy Lee
  6. Never. Until an AI can laugh, cry, love, hate, be irrational, and feel its mortality, it can only emulate a soul.
  7. Every good book or movie is a rich tapestry of character, setting, and plot skillfully woven together. AI may emulate the process, but can never give it soul.
  8. I guess a bass boat is a redneck yacht. Never have I owned a barge.
  9. In the aftermath of Katrina, with no power and the steamy September heat, living in tents was de rigueur. Never have I ever been to a Pride Parade. 🥲
  10. Almost due north of New Orleans in Mississippi off I-55 is Tylertown on the Bouge Chitto River. This is a popular destination for canoeing and river rafting. One of the features of the river is a big, but gentle rapids over a soap stone outcropping. When the waters are low, you have to get out and drag the canoe or raft through, but BEWARE! When it's dry, soapstone is hard and gritty. When it's wet, it's slick as glass. When I got out of the canoe to ford those rapids, I slipped and landed on my behind four times.
  11. You both just never had the right chef. Never have I ever been an exhibitionist.
  12. There are few things that smell worse than a rutabaga cooking. One of my neighbors was cooking the darned stuff, and we thought there was a sewer leak or something. GAAH!!
  13. Recluse? Perhaps, but he does indeed party and the list for his soirées is mega-exclusive.
  14. If Dr . Frankenfruter ever invites you to a soirée, be sure to inquire about who will be bringing the chips, dips, chains and whips. It would be an unfortunate faux pas to arrive empty handed.
  15. I have. We were restoring an on old M-48 Patton tank for display at a VFW so we got inside and buttoned it up. If you ever drive on I-49 from Jackson to Hattiesburg, you'll see it. Never have I ever had sex in a half-track or APC.
  16. No ballet 4 me, thanks. I have had "roadkill". My dad once hit a deer, and there was no sense in wasting it. Given the cost of body work, it's a lot cheaper to just hunt them. Never have I ever been stung by a jellyfish.
  17. This kid is incredible.
  18. Once upon a time, I was half asleep listening to an American History lecture, and the prof was talking about Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. The book was about pre-union practices of industry and immigrant workers, in meat canning and packing. As I was half-asleep, I misunderstood what he was saying and thought the immigrants were becoming potted meat product. In disgust and in an outburst of idiocy, I said, "Oh my God. So that's what's in Deviled Ham."
  19. I have one of these and keep it by the phone for robo-callers. May I interest you in a time-share? BArappe-burumph! You never get old if you can stay silly!
  20. One must grow up, but you'll never grow old as long as you can stay silly.
