Girl dogs do lift a leg sometimes, depending what they want to piss on.

I have a girl dog who lifts her leg to pee, although it looks more like that Karate Kid pose.

Scallops is a contentious word down here too - theyre called scallops in NSW/QLD, and potato cakes in VIC.
Which always made me wonder, how to they differentiate potato scallops from actual ones, given those are also a thing in many chip shops (well, any where seafood's cheap and fresh anyway)
I love potato caaaakes

I just read that whenever you eat a fig, you're eating either a dead wasp or wasp larvae! I love figs and feel conflicted about eating them from now on.
― JacobSanders, Sunday, 4 December 2016 20:26 (seven years ago) link
^^ Debunked!
I've learned to stop worrying and love dates as much as I do, even though the occasional date I eat contains a (visible) small worm or larvae of some sort. Iranian dates are my fave, and I've seen it, but life's too short etc.

hmm, chance of either eggs and larvae or decomposed wasp, yeah feel a lot better about figs after that debunking

Scallops (chip shop potato ones, not seafood) are called fritters up here.

Leprosy always seemed like an unfair tradeoff for people who are clever enough to have figured out how to fuck an armadillo.
