"High school grad couldn't say 'gay' in speech, so he did this instead"

:idea: Suggests the new FloraDuh Fonics ...

:scratch: Considering 'ey' in 'Hey!' and 'G' in 'Generous',
'Gey' (pronounced 'Jay') is the new pronounceable?

:cheers: Win-Win-Win ...
- 'Gay' returns to its original meaning!
- 'Gey' becomes the new term!
- 'G' remains in "LGBT'!

And 'Flora' has various positive meanings! ;)

:scratch: "So, what about 'Duh'? "
Duh! Stop and smell the roses! :sunflower:

"Warm-blooded animals have a high metabolic rate -- they take in lots of oxygen and need many calories
to maintain their body temperature, while cold-blooded animals breathe and eat less."

:scratch: Makes sense! You don't need as many calories if you don't want a hot body. ;)

Interestingly1: "Cold as ice!" can exist simultaneously with "Hot body!".
Interestingly2: "Cold as ice!" refers to females but "Impotent!" to males,
"Hot!" to females but "Buff!" to males ... with "Butt" focus unisex. :roll:

"(U.S.) Demands that K-12 Schools Eliminate Gender-Based Bathrooms
in Order to Receive Federal Lunch Funds" :o

:idea: Seems to make sense for males perceiving themselves "female"
while not yet anatomically transitioned since female restrooms
don't have male urinals (they learn to sit - not stand). 8)

But it might be embarassing for females perceiving themselves "male"
while not yet anatomically transitioned since males typically stand. :oops:

:cheers: Nevertheless, all-gender lunch tables could be reserved for those
wanting to (verbally) compare/contrast such interests/curiosities
... with lunch on Uncle (or Aunt) Sam. :roll

"Surging Meat Prices Push Summer Grillers to Order Pizza Instead"

"With costs for ground beef and chicken breasts at all-time highs, consumers have few alternatives
to switch to different proteins -- so some may skip them entirely." :o

Tip 1: Vegetarians have been living well for many decades,
but know how to maintain sufficient food variety to obtain
the necessary amino acids. :roll

Tip 2: Consider "tiny houses" where grillers grill tiny
(large meat portions can be reduced, remain satisfying,
and be sufficiently contributory to daily protein). 8)

"A randy couple who Zoomed into services at a Minneapolis synagogue hosting a bat mitzvah forgot
to turn off their camera as they began to make a mitzvah of their own — canoodling in full view
of verklempt congregants, who were subjected to the softcore sideshow for nearly an hour." :roll:

:scratch: A wandering mind wants to know ...

Does "softcore" refer to a certain rigidity?
Are canoodling channels available on YouTube?
Does an hour of canoodling require more calories?
Is bat mitzvah sex different than bar mitzvah?
Are low-carb canoodles healthier?
Is "randy" typical of canoodlers?

"Gene-editing experiment turns fluffy hamsters into 'aggressive' mutant rage monsters"

"Syrian hamsters were chosen for the experiment because they have a social organisation similar to humans. Using the controversial CRISPR technology, researchers at Northwestern University were examining a hormone called vasopressin and its receptor, Avpr1a."

"The academics found the adorable bundles of fluff turned into mutant rage monsters"

:scratch: So, jabs of "experimental gene therapy" should be monitored
long-term for future mutation of one's "inner fluffy"? :?

LOL (or not): That the aggression is toward same-sex fluffies
hints of future gene therapy for wandering genders. :roll:

Re: https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/ill ... -students/

"A gay nightclub in Minnesota held a drag show for children earlier this month. One of the performers said in an interview
'I want to give the kids an opportunity to see what drag queen/king life is like on a day to day basis.' " :o

:idea: This suggests that "drag queen" is performance - not gender exploration.
But "drag king" seems less appealing entertainment, perhaps because
of the greater costuming/performance needed for "queen". ;)

Success might be indicated when Bring-a-Parent to School/Work Day
accepts these openly drag parents ... in drag! However, realistic
presentation should include the downsides (like having to keep
this profession in a closet at times.) :roll:

are more (and more often) "touchy-feely" ... and maybe less attentive to hygiene, post-encounter. :roll:

The local "system" permits this in the neighborhood
because it helps identify "preppers" (especially via internet). :roll:

:hithere Not so wild conjecture ..
1) Such effort needs "divison of labor", perhaps into neighborhood,
to be practical long term (and as a land-Noah ages).
2) What happens if Noah is unable to be so productive :?:
3) Good weather seems assumed but is not guaranteed.
4) This Eden is VERY dependent on lotsa electricity :!:

"Musk feels 'super bad' about economy, needs to cut 10% of Tesla staff" :o

:idea: 10% seems a common staff cut for corporations (sometimes followed by a similar cut later),
suggesting that the remaining 90% can keep the corporation alive while the cuts are digested.
This indicates the average employee can/would tolerate a 10% workload increase
on the same diet, financially speaking. :roll:

Extrapolating this methodology to the Santa business, "super bad" would suggest
10% less coal in one's holiday stocking. ;)

But extrapolating this to the hooker business, a "super bad" woman
would suggest 10% increase in her stocking, financially speaking. :oops:
