You should visit a Turkish bath.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

It was on my list before coming but.... I ended up not even bringing swimming shorts. Just not feeling it alone.
Been meaning to go to a Swiss hot spring with people sometime though

My kids know to stay the hell out of my office when I'm working, but when the cleaning lady brings her son with her he has zero boundaries :angry:

Why is he even allowed in the manor, aren't the slave quarters close by?

I let him play on the Xbox.  You think that would be enough.  But no, he has to wander in during a conference call and loudly ask what I'm doing. 

One thing he helps out with is eating up all the snacks in the cupboard that my kids don't like.  Little butterball ate 4 Twinkies a couple days ago.

No wonder you voted Trump.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I've just realised the big problem with eu2 et all.
Peacetime is too dull. This is known. Sitting and waiting for the next war. Developing your provinces.... Meh. Click. Click. Wait.

Caeser 2 is actually the best empire building game of all time.
It flips the dynamic.
The provincial level and military stuff is just a small add on to the main game. The core of the game is about building cities.

That's what many historic governments spent most of their days doing. Building their capital. That and whoring.
EU5 needs a city builder.

That's Trump's problem, too.

Pretty unfair not just to those with body issues, but all reptiles, wouldn't you think.
