What do you give a person you aren't that interested in meeting and already owns a government?

You do PR for some niche American product.


I'm not quite sure that's a good idea.
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 wouldn't wear shorts to a nice dinner but shorts in general are a children's thing? Sometimes they are the only practical option in hot weather unless one wants to be a puddle of sweat.

You wouldn't see any self-respecting adult in a Mediterranean country wearing shorts, even at the height of summer. Not in the city, at least. Just kids and tourists.

I don't see how that at all modifies what I said.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I'm shocked that a nation that serves hamberders in the White House proudly wears kids' clothes.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

You said "sometimes they are the only practical option in hot weather", I'm saying people in many contries with hot weather seem to have no need for them.

Odd that you chose to truncate out the rest of what I said. Almost as of it were deliberate.

I assumed that was the part you took issue with.  But I was talking about shorts in general, so it does apply to your entire post.

It has to be really really hot, usually a very warm summer day in an AC-less office, to make wear shorts. The kinds that go down a bit below your knees, not the 80s style.

And I never, ever wear sandals. Horribly uncomfortable.

Back to Trump news :lol:

Quote

The Sun reports that 93-year-old D-Day veteran Thomas Cuthbert laughed "if I was 20 years younger" as he shook 49-year-old Melania's hand — right in front of Donald, 72.

But the US president jokingly replied: "You could handle it, no question!"

I'm not really sure what to do with the idea that the people you've encountered in Mediterranean environments like to walk around covered in sweat. Hurrah for them?

If the US is the only country in which adults wear shorts, it's just more proof of American superiority.

I don't get what's so bad about shorts? :unsure:

Jean shorts are the worst, though.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I think we can all agree on the terribleness of jorts.
