We need a mansplain button to go with all the others.

Ayup.

Huh... "wife-beater" is offensive, but "mainsplainin'" (atrocious grammar aside) is supposed to be acceptable? Interesting...

It's mansplaining, not "mainsplainin" and yes, references to physical violence against women are more offensive than a term that calls out rude behavior.

Apologies. I missed the memo appointing you the arbiter responsible for determining degrees of offensiveness.

I didn't. Thought that was pretty clear. Crystal clear.

Now for something completely different ... Gary pulled the Tri-Tip after 24+ hours in the Sous Vide then a quick sear 0n the BBQ ... mmmmhhhhhh it is so good and so tender that no knife required. Gary has decided to start riding again and dropped off his steel road bike at a local shop which offered a special on tune-up. Mary Lou came with me and as we drove up she casually mentioned that the workers will go nuts. Gary didn't give the remark a second thought, wheeled in the bike ... and the store went nuts. Mary Lou just stood back and laughed while Gary provided a seminar on the bike's history. Gary has a 1970 era Medici ... an American made racing bike on par with the best in the world at that time. All the US Olympic Bike Teams raced on Medici. What should have taken five minutes ended up closer to an hour. The home and Gary attacked the trenching again, turning himself into another ball of pure sweat. But he's 90% finished, with maybe some 15' to go ... but it's the ugly 15' ... through trees and roots and stuff.

C-4 might be better.

Mehhh... a couple of sticks of 80% will get the job done just fine!

Umm, did I just make a reference to that Gallager dude ?

LOL ... actually he once smashed a watermelon on Gary’s and date’s table.

In the field, we’d use a pinch of the stuff to heat up our coffee.

It makes a great food-warmer, as long as idjit doesn't drop something heavy on it while it's burning!

Then you'd best sit up straight and start paying attention! Geez. What do we pay you to do, loaf around and talk about photography?!
