So just gimme the link , someone or other.
As yes, Dr. Bauluo, yes. The "missing link" again, correct? I am fortwith undertaking an expedition to the storied Ozark Range where a humble methcooker has stumbled onto some fascinating bone shards. It could be the link itself. If so, it will be the basis for my monumental magnum opus, "Out of Arkansas: Rethinking Man's Origins"
Shards you say? Why do bones have shards? Rocks have chunks, pieces, segments etc. Only bones have shards. Though I suppose that also there are shards of stone, as in our predecessers manipulation of stone into utensils. I think `shards' mean long pointy things that have been separated from an original bigger thing, and in there separation have become relatively long and pointy. I sure that there is a Monty Python skit in here somewhere.
Stand respectfully in front of an image, because someone hase told you that it is art.
"My first day in Rome, I thought it a pity Michaelangelo had ever to die. By my third day, I thought it the greater pity I wasn't around to have seen him do it."---Mark Twain
The `it' is this sentence is known in logic as a `fuzzy word', in that the referent is unclear. Dig? Groovy!
Let me tell ya all, whenever you puts an 'S ' and and a 'Z' together ya got yerself a Hungarian. Not that that bothers me; growin up me and Geza and Miklosz had many a grand time skinny dipping in the pond, so please don't missinterpret this as anti-Hungarian.

The viewing of art is so sickyfyed. When I look at real art I don't want anyone sayin nothing bout nothin. Just shut TFU and Ill figure it out on my lonesome.

Do you have a dating or relationship question? Find out what Aunt Moira thinks!
I have a very serious dating questions. When precisely did Phoenician phonetic representational script develop? How, and by what means did it develop and spread? As for relationship problems, I have been troubled for some time about the psychodynamics of the Wittgenstien family, wherein three brothers committed suicied in short succession. Any insight is welcome.
Well buckle up yer galoshes, says I . A good fix is a BIG plastic bag, within which one may entirely cover ones body. Go to the top floor of your apartment building. Find a comfortable corner to sit in. Whimper. Soon the fearful rain will be gone. Don't forget to bring you phone so you can chat with friends whilst living in a plastic bag. Which you already live in.
I think I may have toenail fungus. I have heard that in certain tribes in South America, toenail fungus is considered a delicassy. I would gladly contribute my toenail fungus to help your research into this topic. Do you know of any restaurants in Beijing specialising in toenail fungus soup?
You're Canadian, no? Isn't that cultural appropriation---Ulster Scotch offscouring transplants of the timbered wastes hijacking the broth once sipped by the god-kings of Paititi? Though, yeah, that might amount to a certain je ne sais quois...a certain borrowed elegance. And fungus soup IS "plant-based"
I believe my toenail fungus was legitimately aquired, in Canada, sloping throu the crick, looking to aquire bloodsuckers, which I could salt and cook up on my Sterno stove. Inadvertently, i may have aquired, also an unexpected toenail fungal infection which I have come to love and adore. Howso, I wish to expand the world's populace's appreciation of cuisine, especially tribal and disenfranchised groups in the upper reaches of the Amazon, hence my magnanimous offer of toenail donation. You gots a problem wit that buddy?
Let me guess. In order to show I have no problem with this, I have to lick your bare feet? Better that than eat 4th Grade school lunch again, I allow.
Well, not both, just one. And only in the tickly spots. Not between the toes, where some fungal plasma may yet be residing.
Were there any torrential mud slides in the subway that locals were spotted running frantically away from? Joey, I love you like the son I never had the chance to father abuse then abandon, but really you've got to get onboard with your colleagues' click-bait style. This isn't journalism remember, it's business. O-ki**?

NoNoNo. it is simply acceptence and appreciation of our collective toenail diversity. Aintcha been schooled yet?

Title was `How to survive the heat lIke Elegant Ancient Chinese''
So I wonder then, did only elegant Chinese survive the heat, or only ancient Chinese? This is a logic problem. Or did only elegant and ancient Chinese survive the heat.? There are lots of Chinese people hereabouts,, many that are inelegant,, a few that are relatively ancient, so I reckon they must have muddled through somehows. By the by, did I mention my AC ain't working. How will I live? Waiting for the Beijing to fix my problems! Stat!!
Now this is good, clear infromative shit. Though I'll never know if it is true. But then I never know if anything I read is true, including anything that I write. I'll read the Beijinr, if only for this. I've spent 4 years in the north and 3 years in the south, then got the hellouda there. IMO the south really sucks, weatherwise, peoplewise, everythingwise. Stay the fonk outa the south, so I told meself.
By the by, has anyon ever told you you're tractable when you're scared like that?
By the bye, it's `by the bye, not `by the by' . I jes don't buy `by the by'. `Bye' being short for `byeway or sidetrack' You take the hetero way and I'll take the biway, and I'll be to Scotland afore ye' . Or something like that.
Somebody here has to update his ontology. Quick lesson:
Descartes," I think, therefore I am."
Goethe, "In the Beginning was the Deed!"
Quine: "To be is to be the value of a bound variable."
Postmodern Pogue: "To be is to appear on a plasma screen." Or as Jack Nicholson's character says in The Shining, "Of course it's real. He saw it on TV."
The Husserlian response, (viz `Cartesian Meditations') which essentially is ` When I think, I am thinking of something', blows solipsism out of the water, anticipatory of Wittgenstein's `On Solipsism' (postumasely published) re: the possiblility of a private language. I know that this is true. I saw a documentary on TV about it.
"It's a rich and diverse landscape of culinary culture from around the globe "(unquote)
Whatever happened to words like "different, mixed, various, assorted, miscellaneous, sundry, motley, manifold, heterogeneous, assorted"? They all mean something on the order of "diverse." Which lattermost term is in a dead heat with "innovative" to die from overuse. Odd, innit? The biggest diversity pimps are boy-toys in bondage to a deadingly monochrome verbiage. One has to plumb Soviet-era state organs to find a correspondingly constipated style of expression.
Well, we don't speak, or think, for that matter, in words, but collections of words, i.e. phrases, chunks of words. Of course many phrases are overworn, because the writters don't have the chops to think or write outside of well-worn cliches. But heck, this ain't highbrow shit, whatcha expect? It's not like ya can just pull out your Roget's Thesaurus and plug one word in place of another. Of your list of proposed alternatives, the only one that would work in that phrase would be `assorted', (which for some reason you listed twice, perhaps unconsciously [or consciously] knowing that that is the only word that would work).
