Nay, the app is to enable plebs to find their nearest job creator and shake their hand while the drone would shout hosanna at them.)

But even if you weren't, it would still be a word, in every sense that I can think of -- eg, lexically, semantically, orthographically, morphologically, and so on. Grammatically, even. I mean, obviously, plural gerundses can has word-dom.

And, equally obviously, slang uses words. Because what else would it use?

I know that you're probably going to say: "Flags with symbols." But that would really be jargon, if you ask me. And I said "slang."

I guess I don't understand the question.

I think we're only debating the Smeagolean -es. Or trash talking for fun on the Internet? I mean, it's a pastime, if you don't have $107000 for a decent night out.

If it's of any consolation to find out of what an idiot I am, maybe, is that I had some ex Seahawk player (he's also cool and a regular) come in and start throwing $100 bills at me while drunk and with a bunch of friends. He'd already tipped me $50 on like $50 I think. I was tempted to take it all. But I actually told him, "dude, you've tipped me enough." And thus handed it back to him. Also cut him off. Which is hard to do with a exn pro football player!

He said, "it's just money!".

I maybe should have taken it, but I didn't. Fellow bartenders think I'm an idiot. Perhaps I am. That is what bartending from the employed side is about, after all. I think he remembers it, because he always shakes my hand on his way out after eating lunch or something and says "always good seeing you, 82_28."

Maybe he'll keep me in his will. . .
There is no me. There is no you. There is all. There is no you. There is no me. And that is all. A profound acceptance of an enormous pageantry. A haunting certainty that the unifying principle of this universe is love. -- Propagandhi

I don't even know what some of these things are. What are the third and fourth items, that went for 50 and 40 grand? Wine or food?

Never had caviar... can anyone more worldly than I say if it's actually good? Worth picking up some cheap stuff sometime to give fish eggs a try, or 100% hype for psycho rich people?

And, for the record, JR is right- the word is "dawg." What is it with you people sometimes? You need to read yoisthisracist.com, where the word "dawg" is frequently used, and misspellings of it frequently corrected. So now that we're all speaking the same language...

I did not invent the word, fortunately.

See how much fun we can have? Who needs the $40 K single bottle that 10 of us together couldn't afford even once, and which is barely enough to get 1 (or 2 depending on mass) of us into the initial drunk?

I keep thinking about these photos. I wish everyone could see them. But they won't.


What's so weird is that you can look them up on Instagram and see all their other photos and their stupid fucking comments.

I couldn't help myself, I commented on one of them. Does "eat the rich" sound like a threat?
