My Son has a buddy that calls it "the C word". The boys are 18.

We were at dinner with them and his younger brother was there.

I didn't think and blurted out "cnut"?

I too eschew the 'C-word' rather, I prefer to refer to it as 'The Great Plague of our Times!"

Then we sit around the lemon tree and tell Plague stories.

A fair time is had by all!

I prefer when people say “Covi!” and then pretend they’re throwing a 3 pointer.

PepsiFree would struggle with that one. I wonder how 18-year-olds might think it’s a bad word.

I find it best to refer that period as the Plandemic to make sure everyone stays very far away from me.

I like to call it the 'Bat-Flu' so its got a little Batman element to it and it makes sure that people know it was just a flu.

I mean, we've had Bird-flu, swine-flu, why not bat-flu? Just to keep the pattern rolling.

"Robin...engage the Bat-flu!"

"But Batman! We dont have an under-cooked Pangolin!!!"

"Goddammit Robin just do it!!"

Contact me DC. I can write these for days.

It GMG that I’m late for the balls rebuttals

Are they round as the sun
And heavy as lead?
Does it irritate
When you snag’m on the gate?

The fact that you aren't even allowed to say "balls" on YouTube.

I think it’s demonization not demonetization.

Keep on “throwing” 3-pointers. Put that on YouTube.

I can hit an 18-footer but I’m not strong enough to shoot from back there. Maybe your throwing technique could assist.

That’s because you aren’t saying “Kobe” when you do it.

Still very sensitive for a few people. I know people still convinced everyone will die from Covid and the other end of the spectrum where everyone will die from the vaccines. Quite obviously neither is true and nobody need no facts nor data goshdagnabbit to prove that.

Walmart hiring for a TFW specialist role in Calgary

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4...earch_srp_jobs

Calgary's unemployment rate is 7.5%, Walmart's net sales are somewhere around $6 billion, but sure they must have no other option than to hire foreign workers. I would say that any political party that campaigned on ending the TFW program entirely would get my vote, but I know that will never happen since all sides are too deep into the pockets of the oligarchs that are the ones running the country now
