One more is needed to achieve double digits, acceptability within range man.

HOAs should not compete against each other for community GSs, spread them out man.

Thrilling Saturday non-GS/ES report, see man:

 

Mini-B. & we slept in, exhausted Two Guys man.

Around Many a.m., we got a text from WCG, see Abbreviations on p. 1 of this thread man.

 

WCG said that he, new Mrs. WCG, & Mama-Mrs.-WCG were coming to town for lunch, whee man.

We got ourself moving and rousted Mini-B. from bed, unwilling wee man.

 

Mini-B. wanted to go to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa in hopes of inviting an amigo there, many games man.

This was OK with us, OK man.

We dropped Mini-B. and headed for rendezvous with WCG, si man.

 

We arrived at little restaurant just in time to add our order to WCG's, perfect timing man.

WCG paid (!!?), imagine that man.

 

Lunch for us was Many (2+2) strips of fried fish + 2 Vietnamese egg rolls, ingest we man.

 

Mrs. WCG is Vietnamese by way of England, cosmopolitan she man.

The picture of her that WCG had sent to me was unattractive, speak frankly we man.

However, Mrs. WCG is lovely almost to Fox level, conclude we man.

She is also exceptionally sweet and will be very good for WCG, conclude we man.

Their I-130 is in process, wait and wait and wait and wait and wait man.

We are really happy for both of them, si man.

(Her only flaw is that she is not a rubia, not too many rubia Vietnamese man.)

She has a younger sister, but in Vietnam and speaking no English, oh well man.

 

After this caucus, we hit the ES & GS, hit we man.

We briefly considered another ES, too far away man.

We instead returned to the casa, serviced demanding miu, and siesta'd soundly, zzz we man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. returned Mini-B. in time for din-din, return wee man ex-she man.

Din-din was donated BBQ sliders left over from a restaurant, perfect man.

We consumed one and Mini-B. consumed 2, ingest Two Guys man.

 

Movie night was a few Contraband Police episodes on YouTube, watch Two Guys man.

Many (2+1) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man.

This tallies to an even Manyzen popcorns for the week, double figures and therefore official man.

 

Mini-B. is now playing V.R. online, animated wee man.

On Sunday, we visit Mama T-B., we man and wee man see senior she man man.

Overall, a pretty good Saturday, si man.

Major rant, see and :ranting: man:

 

This chica doesn't know what she's talking about, no man.  The BK burgers that taste the best are those that can be bought cheapest with use of coupons, si man.  And she left off the chicken sandwich, :bonk:  man.

 

Furthermore, she has "no allegiance to the chain," no man, and "to be honest, hasn't stepped (sic) foot in a BK in years," no man.  :bonk:   What a loser, conclude we man!  :ranting:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Burger King Burgers Ranked, Worst To Best

 

Headed to Burger King?  You may have noticed that the menu is flooded with both old and new beefy offerings, making the task of selecting just one incredibly difficult.  To be honest, I haven't stepped foot in a Burger King in years — partially because I've been avoiding fast food like the plague, but also because I've been somewhat suspicious ever since I'd heard of the burger chain's struggles to stay in business and decline in popularity.  McDonald's still sits at No. 1 in sales among fast food joints, but there are plenty who say Burger King is far superior.  So, I thought sampling all of the burgers at Burger King would make for a good review since, after all, I have no allegiance to the chain.  [...]

Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

Stupid brief rainstorm awoke us probably 2 hours before alarm was to go off, :girlwerewolf2xn: and :ranting: we man.

 

We got one laundry load baking and a second one warshering before leaving to visit Mama T-B., efficient we man.

 

Mama T-B. didn't yell at us, worrisome man.

 

Mama T-B. gave Mini-B. Many (2+1) spare desserts and let him buy a lunch, feed senior she man wee man man.

The lunch was fried shrimp, baked tater, Many-bean ([2+1]-bean) salad, peas, roll, & cherry cobbler, precisely man.

 

Lunch for Mini-B. was the fried shrimp, part of the cobbler, and all Many (2+1) spare desserts, ingest wee man.

Lunch for us was everything that Mini-B. didn't eat, ingest we man.

Both of us were very well pleased with this menu, pleased Two Guys man.

 

We conquered the Many'rd laundry load, remade both beds, and dished the warsher, domestic we man.

 

We attempted a siesta, much-needed man.

It failed because of Mini-B.'s online exclamations and a call from ex-Mrs.-T-B., :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

Din-din for Mini-B. was onecan S+Ms, ingest wee man.

Din-din for us was toucans store-label macaroni & beef, ingest we man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. came over after missing the first part of AFV, tardy ex-she man.

Before AFV ended, Mini-B. wanted to basketball on back patio, baller wee man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. also went out, accompany ex-she man wee man man.

We joined during commercials and after, join we man.

The mosquitoes are already fierce, Mosquito Din-Din we man.

 

Miu awoke from deep miu-siesta just in time to see Mini-B. disappear out the door, delinquent miu man.

Miu then began usual questioning of Where Is Big Bruddah, needy miu man.

We explained this fruitlessly and thoroughly brushed miu, temporarily mollified miu man.

 

We have much admin work to do, Business Typhoon we man.

Party with the rubias later, cavort we man.

Major rant, see and :ranting: man:

 

This chica doesn't know what she's talking about, no man.  The BK burgers that taste the best are those that can be bought cheapest with use of coupons, si man.  And she left off the chicken sandwich, :bonk:  man.

 

Furthermore, she has "no allegiance to the chain," no man, and "to be honest, hasn't stepped (sic) foot in a BK in years," no man.  :bonk:   What a loser, conclude we man!  :ranting:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Burger King Burgers Ranked, Worst To Best

 

Headed to Burger King?  You may have noticed that the menu is flooded with both old and new beefy offerings, making the task of selecting just one incredibly difficult.  To be honest, I haven't stepped foot in a Burger King in years — partially because I've been avoiding fast food like the plague, but also because I've been somewhat suspicious ever since I'd heard of the burger chain's struggles to stay in business and decline in popularity.  McDonald's still sits at No. 1 in sales among fast food joints, but there are plenty who say Burger King is far superior.  So, I thought sampling all of the burgers at Burger King would make for a good review since, after all, I have no allegiance to the chain.  [...]

 

Continues, see man:

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/burger-king-burgers-ranked-worst-143058207.html

The BK double cheeseburger was my go to burger at the end of a long hard night of heavy drinking back in my undergrad days at the U of South Carolina in Columbia.  Then I went on to dental school in Louisville KY and was introduced to White Castle sliders.  Now that's a sack of "burgers" that keeps on giving for a couple of days, both coming and going.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Our fizzicle therapist rescheduled for an hour later but mauled us very effectively, relief man.

It's such a pleasure to be able to move, mobilized we man.

 

We then went to One-Cent-Less-Than-a-Buck Cents Only, chain going out of business man.

Some stuff was only Many% ([2+2+1]%) off, early in the process man.

Other stuff was only Many% ([2x2x2 +2]%) off, early in the process man.

A little stuff was Many% ([2x2x2x2x2 -2]%) off, gotta be patient we man.

We got half-a-Manyzen cans of Chef B. Beefaroni, Major Food Group man.

We got half-a-Manyzen cans of tuna, cannot have enough of this man.

We figured that the savings justified getting this stuff while it's still in stock, reason we man.

 

After this, we lunched at Arby's WUOC, financially savvy we man.

They completely messed up our order, good grief man.

We wanted a regular Arby's gut-bomb, beef-only man.

They gave us one with cheese, OK but messy man.

We wanted curly fries, mandatory at Arby's man.

They gave us crinkled fries, bluccch man.

We pointed this out and they gave us curly fries for free, overdose on fries we man.

We shouldn't complain except for the principle of the thing, how could they up-screw this man.

 

Returned to casa, unloaded purchases, serviced demanding miu, and siesta'd, zzz we man.

 

Later, as miu zzz'd on Mini-B.'s bed, we quietly pantried all the cans, surreptitious we man.

(Miu always climbs into pantry and hangs out there when we open it, miu won't come out man.)

 

Din-din seems to have been one large chocolate-with-almonds bar, ingest we man.

 

Some errands for Wednesday, expeditionary we man.
