I can't find it now, but I liked the one where a guy walked around a plaza in some place European like Norway or something, and just showed guys this picture for a reaction. Nearly every guy knew it, but almost none of the ladies did.
I used this same pic as my Teams background for meetings for a long time at a prior job, and it only took 2 meetings before someone recognized it

I knew her name, but would not have recognized the pic. I assumed due to how often I saw the name online that she was some kind of pop star.
Videos like this are always amusing to me because they effectively assume that everyone agrees there is only ONE flavor of porn and also that everyone eats that same porn, like you just go to the store and buy a white box with orange stripes that says "porn" on it and that is the only kind there is.

That’s how you do it?!? Damn, I always did it wrong.
My gut had a lot of boosters.

Yeah she's good and all, but fuck people who dance and film like this in public like anyone should give a shit. Talk about a fad that needs to die.
I don't see anyone being bothered by her.

You also don't see how many takes, how many people walked by/through the screen while she was doing it, etc. I've seen way too many of these things that are basically behind the scenes and they are all annoying.
I recognize that but have never actually seen a porn that took place there.

When did ordering at a restaurant change from "I'll have the" to "I'll do the"? This was something I didn't really notice until early this year.
"I'll have a cheeseburger" odd stare "sorry, "I'll do a cheeseburger"
Also not sure when "welcome in!" took over literally every single retail space. Everywhere I go, someone says "welcome in!" Restaurant, barber, grocery store, hardware store, doesn't matter. Not even "Hi, welcome to (business here)!" like it used to be, just "Welcome in!"

Maybe it is. I started really picking up on it when I started dating someone who just moved here from California.
Whataburger is coming to NC. Thank the maker!
Big year for hamburgers in NC -- they just got a Krystals in June.
This reminds me, and I'm not trying to rag on Blots specifically or anything, but do you guys consider "porn" to be a countable noun? I ask because not too long ago a girl I know asked me "how many times do you watch porns a week" and it sounded odd to me.
Also my answer was "around seven to ten times."
I consider it a genre rather than a countable noun. You wouldn't ask someone, "How many porns do you have?" You would instead ask, "How much porn do you have?" presumably because "porn" could conceivably include magazines, movies, videos, books, browser bookmarks, subscriptions, sculptures, paintings, audio recordings, etc. It is short for "pornography," after all.

No one's ever this excited for Whyaburger, Howaburger, Whoaburger, or Whereaburger.

Porn is a noun but the plural of porn is porn, like how fish is.
The countable noun is "porno".

Yes, the Orgy on the Mount had a hippie giving out pornes and bred.
You laugh, but when my niece was younger, she thought it was the miracle of "the loaves and bitches."

The words have slightly different usages. You might say "I watched a porn" but not "i watched 5 porn". You could say "I watched a porno" or "I watched 5 pornos" (but not "I watched 5 porno")
when you're pluralizing "porn" or "porno" in that manner, it becomes a de-facto adjective: "I watched 5 porn vids." "I read 5 porno mags."
You *could* say "i watched some porn" or "everything on his computer is porn." I guess "porn" is a non-count noun.

Ooooof. I am not envious of my GF's day at work. She just discovered that the junior accountant assigned to "help her finish faster" has been pulling Kelevens.
"Oh yeah, that showed up on my bank rec and it was stopping me from finishing so I just marked it reconciled to make it go away."
Everybody else on the accounting team, whose reports were affected and has been trying to figure out why they're thousands of dollars off:

Sorry, early voting only counts if it’s for Trump. Anything else is fraud and you should be tortured and deported for your crimes. Covfefe.
early voting doesn't start here for another 12 days. I've taken advantage of early voting for decades.
