According to widely believed anecdata it was Kevin Fucking Costner who suggested that Whitney Houston should cover "I Will Always Love You" for that stupid movie

he both suggested she cover it and it was his idea for it to begin a capella

costner = music genius
i like him a lot more since seeing him being adored by all on graham norton and his being v odd and uncomfortable but clearly pleased with this and striking me as quite likely a high functioning whatever type as opposed to the archbollix reported all these decades
nb no evidence but its enough for me

That the entire argument of whether it's champing or chomping at the bit is rendered moot by the fact that bits are designed to be unchampable/unchompable (resting, as they do, in a space between the teeth).
Yes, I'm reading a book about horses, and yes, I'm a twelve-year-old girl. Get over it.

I was shockingly young when I learned that checkered slacks are most comfortably worn with the waistband pulled to somewhere around the sternum. Also, early bird dinner specials are both a great value and a wonderful opportunity to visit with Walter and Gladys.

Ok, one could rinse mildly soiled dishes or nonstick pans in cold water but for serious stuff, yeah, hot (source: have worked in a kitchen, washing dishes)

Everyone should experience a stretch of time working in a kitchen, washing dishes. Even if you're currently ensconced in some tenured academic position, I would urge you to take a brief sabbatical (3-6 months) to go work in a kitchen, washing dishes. You will learn a lot about the world, and also yourself. And also about the particulars of water temperature as it relates to the proper cleansing of flatware.
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:34 (four years ago) link
Also you can relieve yourself while washing the dishes and nobody will notice

This is notable and embarrassing: I just learned that analgesic medication is just anti-pain medication (as in an-algesic) and does *not* refer to anal suppositories (as in anal-gesic).

I've worked in bars and kitchens! (not solely washing dishes though). But we had a dishwasher or used the three sink method with sanitizer. I am still staying on team not hot water.

yeah, I am probably wrong. I asked my spouse if he knew that you were supposed to wash dishes in hot water and he goes "Why?" And then he got all technical like he knew this already and this morning I noticed the hot water in the kitchen sink came on automatically after he washed the dishes. Traitor.

That you can tell whether an egg is good or bad by putting it in cold water. If it sinks it's good, if it floats it's bad.
― van dyke parks generator (anagram), Saturday, 25 January 2020 11:32 (four years ago) link
you can also tell a bad egg by putting it on a scale, if it weighs the same as a duck it’s probably made out of wood
