Perhaps this goes under "Things that make you laugh" but the phrase the boy has been using lately is NUT CUP to describe a piece of his protective sports gear. I'm not sure what it says about me, but I think it's hysterical. Edited October 4, 2023 by bloviatrix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the joke will be “Two Americans, an ex-pat Brit, a South African, a Jew, two lesbians and two New Yorkers walk into a bar.” Because we can do that. ❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) As an intentional and committed non-reproducer I don't know why this makes me cheerful. But in what will probably be his last string of concerts, Gilberto Gil has been accompanied not just by his children but his grandchildren.

MitchW Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 God bless him! Not quite in the same vein, but a number of years ago we went to see Glenn Tilbrook at City Winery. For a number of songs, one of his sons played guitar and maybe sang some background vocals. Then, for the encore, he brought out another son to play a mini keyboard...I think the kid was about 7.

Steve R. Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 We've already gone thru a box or so & have stocked up on them for continued pleasure. So, given Sneak's comment about intentional non-reproducing -- of the most recognizable posters here on MF, anyone ever take a look at the % who didn't/don't have offspring? I'd say its pretty far over the average, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rozrapp Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I’d never had Mallomars before. But given the love for them here, I picked up a box at ShopRite this morning — regularly $5.49, on sale @$3.99. I’ll report back when I try them. Re: offspring. We chose to have only one. She and our son-in-law have none by choice. Ergo, no grandkids for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
