The "I don't want to talk about AI" thread, and the new topic is: literary euphemisms

They didn't, though. 2015 hit an all-time high of 18.1 million viewers; it dropped to 14.9 million in 2017 and 2020, but that's a little under an 18% drop, nowhere near one-third. Source



Same source: "The NFL has recorded its highest television ratings in nine years, averaging 18.6 million viewers across its first three weeks of the 2024 season."

Fair enough, although it took them until 2024 to recover 2015's ratings, meanwhile the population was still growing, which should have correlated, but didn't.
Going political definitely hurt them.

I'm not a big sports person, although I love wearing team jerseys and going to games with my friends.

Maybe I should have put my comment in controversial opions?

Come on coffee, do your thing.

Fetish it is, then.

Hmmmm not sure how I shoe horn that into one of my fetish stories...ahhh yes a protagonist has her poster on the wall, or as a screensaver on his phone.

 

[Statius]

How dare you! Raquel is sweet and pure, as is our love for her.

Yeah, what he said! There's never ever been a dirty, naughty thought in my head about her. Pure and clean admiration only!

Do phones have screen savers?

Aren't opions the little yellow funghi you get on birch logs in Scandinavia?

Gonna Google that! Now I wanna know!

Probably. I think that's where I caught it.

 

[Statius]

All I got was 2 pages worth of what opinion means and examples. Like there isn't enough of that around here

I think they are that vegetable that makes you cry when you cut them. They come in white and yellow.

Red, Vidalia ( the best!),

They should eat more magnesium then.

WANDA NO

"Opion" is the Greek form of the Latin "opium".

(I was joking, but then I checked the etymology, and guess what? it's actually true!)

Love Vidalias. Have actually spent time in Vidalia. Off-season, though. Darn.

What is the thing with chain casual restaurants and red onions on everything? They're awfully strong. I don't mind too much, but the aftertaste lingers for hours. Whenever my wife gets a dish with red onions, she spends 10 minutes picking them out if we forget to tell the server "no onions!"

 

[SimonDoom]

Turn this into the Raquel Welch appreciation thread?

I suggest we all watch One Million Years BC and then reconvene here to discuss. And I don't mean to talk about the dinosaurs.

And just like this, I swerved the conversation from a bikiniless Rachel Welch to onions.

To the one who made the pet egg comment, suck it!

I put red onion in frigging everything lol

Hey! Raquel Welch is better than onions.

 

[NuclearFairy]

I'm gonna irritate some people, but I have no f**king idea how people watch golf.

My aunt got into baseball because she liked staring at the players butts. And then my grandpa started teaching her about it and enrolled her into her school teams, and she just never had the heart to tell him the truth.

Red, Vidalia ( the best!),

No, Walla Walla are the best. But you'll never find them outside of Washington, they don't ship well and their growing season is short.

I love onions, but I can't eat the raw ones they burns. So I'll also spend ten minutes picking them out if we forgot to mention no onions. Or five minutes obsessively checking if we remembered.

Even a Vidalia? I heard those are the best.

I want to make a joke about bones, but it's just not clicking. Friday brain is the worst.

 

[Trionyx]

Raquel…and Sophia…and Marilyn…and Gina. Nope, they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

She brought tears to many a man's eye.
