Well then I want my eyes wide open at my funeral.

Does it matter? Are you imagining a "viewing" (where people get to look at you as you lie in a casket) as part of your funeral?

It’s pretty standard in Catholic funerals from what I understand.

[Tom-K]

It doesn't matter and it's not Catholic. I just don't want to wear contacts with spikes in them.

I love watching these awards. I want one of each.

Casu marzu, the illegal cheese from Sicily. Sounds yummy.

ew. But it's traditionally served with Cannonau, so maybe Nobody's Sock will have some.

[Tom-K]

NS needs to report back on this one!

[jon-nyc]

Want.

[Mik]

Yes. I buy the greenest possible bananas. I prefer them just a little underripe. Throw away far too many.

[taiwan_girl]

Old ripe ones are good for banana bread.

[AndyD]

Interesting idea but like Mik we buy unripe as prefer them firm, and they contain less sugar.
If over ripened to any extent MrsA makes a mean banana cake

In fairness, conservatives should appreciate that in principle.

They must be confident about the water level not changing very much.

• PROtest/proTEST

I dont get this one. What are the two different words?

[jon-nyc]

I went to a protest.

He’s going to protest the ticket.

Similar, one is a noun the other a verb.

Thanks!!

The word “fart” sounds like juvenile slang but is the standard word for what it describes all the way back to Proto-Indo-European, with clear cognates in Greek and Sanskrit
