Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it.
Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

Had a silly idea on the drive home from a carolling gig and now it's a one-page game you can print out and fold into a Christmas card.

Once upon a time on the old site, some angry dude started ranting on a harmless LOTR thread with what a disgrace it was to Tolkien etc, and the OP replied with “Who’s Tolkien.”
It was the funniest possible response, I think about that constantly

I once heard a cutting assessment of someone’s intellect in Argentinian Spanish that went jugas al tetris y giras el cuadradito. It means “you spin the square tile on Tetris.”

Fidèle (2003–2016) was a famous dog in Bruges who lived at the Côté Canal bed & breakfast with his owner. He could usually be seen lounging half-asleep on a windowsill facing the Groenerei canal.
In media, Fidèle appeared in a TV ad for Godiva Chocolatier and in the beginning of the movie In Bruges.

To give you an example of how small the Jewish community is, the guy who sang at the wedding of some of my best pals last weekend - and who I know - lost his cousin (Rabbi Eli Schlanger ז״ל) in the Bondi Beach attacks
