@FrayedBear You live too close to the international date line. On New Year's Eve, us gringos settle down for the evening news when the announcer rolls the film of Aussies setting off fire works. "Way, way earlier today," says the announcer . . . . I guess you see the US fireworks the next morning on the second of January. In the meantime, Petunia and I are planning where to watch Independence Day (July 4) fireworks.

"The more detailed answer is: German toilets used to have a design, where the feces first fell onto a "plate"-type of element, from where they were then later flushed down the tube. This type of design was (/is) called "Flachspüler" (literally „shallow-flusher“, but the technical English term is "shelf style").

The French are dedicated for getting loaves of hard crusty bread warm from the bakery. I'd see them waving their daily baguette at each other on their way home.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jun 22, 2019:

@arizonajerry69 > animals have no hangups. . . . These are insects, not animal. **Most** animals have sex is when another animal is in heat and often after they knock the other animals out of the way. Often it's a case of the biggest, the baddest rapist get laid. > . . .they have sex only for pleasure. More like they have sex when their sex when their peckers are hard and then only during the optimum time for impregnation. Mammals often use sex to dominate a group of females. In contrast, human females can't stand big, bad rapists who also create trauma and court cases.

Can you let me know who George Will is? Where and what is his column?

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jun 22, 2019:

@Marionville If you want to read, George's columns see: http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/will1.asp I don't know if you've ever seen a Washington Post. It's a thick newspaper that's a muscle builder for those trying house to house delivery. Same story for the New York Times. On the other hand, for us tabloids means the papers are about the third the size of a regular newspaper. Regular size newspapers are best read on the kitchen table. Additionally our tabloids carry sensational and totally unreliable news like ET is Elvis' love child. They're full of true stories they just made up. Murdoch owns a few. Generally I see them next to the check out line at the supermarket. That's why they're called supermarket press. One of the is National Enquirer, which Trump considers a reliable source. One of my missing in action friends based his career on a story in the National Enquirer. "Listen to this," said Rick, "*ET's Alien Family Dies in Tight Walking Accident in Europe. * **Europe!** No particular country, no city . . . . . I could write crap like this." Last I heard of him he was writing for the Pensacola News Journal.

WonderWartHog99 replies on Jun 21, 2019:

@LenHazell53 >WHY redefine an already existing word instead of building a legitimate new word by understood and accepted lexicography? Because it's something than didn't exist in the 20th century. In the previous century, losing a cell phone might mean finding a public pay phone (which have largely vanished in the 21st century). You just called people on a 20th century phone. It might have some extremely primitive games on it. In the mid-20th century, a cell phone didn't exist. In this century your cell phone might cost upward to $1,000 and have 17 types of applications including paying bills directly from the bank. Petunia frequently uses her cell phone to tell her how to get to the latest movie in a neighboring town, surf the net . . . . Somebody hacks your phone it **means** something major. Your credit cards and bank account can sucked dry. They'll find out you've been hanging out at disreputable places. No wonder people panic when they lose the phone or have the battery die on them. This phobia is **new** to the 21st century and doesn't need Greek or Latin roots to describe it. Words come into being because a group of people **invent** them and agree on what they mean.

I still have twitches about the weekly pussy shaving of an ex-girl friend. She also wanted me to shave her asshole. After a week, her pussy got a five o'clock shadow and it started to get itchy. Nothing like dinner with a second girlfriend at home when Jean would show up complaining about an itchy pussy.
