Humpty: When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less.
The question is, said Alice, whether you can make words mean so many different things.
H: The question is which is to be Master — that’s all.

90s: worked in yearbook plant. Production season was a busy mess.
Damagement decreed we spend 10-15 mins a day tidying up.
Productivity slipped.
Damagement freaked out & then someone explained math to them.
next trendy boss thing was about bringing a baseball bat…?
Dunno what reminded me

Ultimate frisbee team I saw at the YMCA recently did an entire “Weasley is our King” chant from HP for unknown reasons but they seemed to have a sense of nerdy humor combined w the cringe and yet I wonder if even they wouldn’t look down on this guy

Friends & I noted a similar change after around 1980 or so - compare Caddyshack to its sequel & note say the teeth and hair compared to ‘70s movies

‘80s: Fam near Detroit weren’t too far from a horrific plane crash.
Pilot was a survivor. His attorney: “yes it’s true my client did have 17 double rum & cokes the night before & yes that sounds like a lot, but not really so much, not for him - he’s an alcoholic…!”

Growing up in the South, have seen this & seen this cycle playing out, especially with regular church-goers. There’s always a trendy men’s thing happening (Promise Keepers etc) but any real change is not & the fundamentals still apply

I had this one pegged as an L already, no matter the outcome of the AU game Saturday. Talented as it is, this team lacks mental toughness/maturity. But mainly: Missouri really really good

We put 2 lazy susans in our coffee / tea area, & donated a bundle of mugs, but we have a deep big corner cabinet. Something basic on counter might also work…?

… and glugs it right down.
Leaves cash, nods to waitress who looks disappointed but doesn’t speak. He strolls right out.
Is just about to put helmet on then suddenly wigs all the way out: “BLEEAAGH, ugh” (as one would after that, or like walking into spider webs)

‘90s? Saw TV ad where guy rolls up to diner on motorcycle. Waitress glad to see tall mysterious stranger again. He nods to coffee maker; not the big main one - a little unit beside it. She ‘pours’ him a cup of gooey sludge that draws a stare from another patron. Tall Man goes right to work …

2005: hurricane bearing down on New Orleans; many who couldn’t leave were in the Superdome. Worked w some people who I overheard comment on it & laugh: “well that’ll save some time…!” ie ‘undesirables get wiped out in 1 place’
One was later a pastor & marriage counselor
