Ace-Garageguy Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 ^^^ ^^^ Being your basic grumpy old SOB, I was all set to not like the Live Lounge Allstars. Glad I watched it anyway. Nice piece of work.
unclescott58 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) I love these two. The oatmeal raisin especially. I hate raisins baked into anything. And as the meme says, every so often one gets suckered into thinking your getting chocolate chips, and finding its raisins after you bite in. A major disappointment! The other one tickles me, being a recovering alcoholic. I've been dry for a few years now. Yet I can relate. Edited April 29, 2020 by unclescott58
unclescott58 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Posted April 29, 2020 A friend just sent me a bunch of new ones.
unclescott58 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Posted April 29, 2020 Here's a couple of bonus ones, not directly related to the Corona virus. But, funny none the less.
peteski Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 I like chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies too. I tried to get my GF to add raisins to her chocolate chip cookies, but she wouldn't do it. I bet it would be a good combo! Raisins are just dried grapes (just like prunes are just dried plums). Yum!

To me raisins aren't bad until you bake them in something else. Raisins by themselves. Okay. ? Raisins heated and/or baked. Yuck! ?

It’s some sort of odd way of teaching, not sure about other subjects, but the basic math side seems like a bit much on the test side. I’ve seen something about how they require extra steps to get the correct answers for tests. The example I’ve seen, say that the math test asks what 5x3 and 3x5 both equal, but just answering 15 is not the right answer, even though both do equal 15. The correct answers supposedly are as follows; 5x3=5+5+5=15 while 3x5=3+3+3+3+3=15 sounds like it’s “show your work or fail”?

What your demonstrating above looks like is a pretty good way to explain things to certain kids. Not all kids learn the same way.

Seems like a political point of view to me. And I'm not one who feels the need to protest over what's going on right now. And the first one you posted, I just don't get. What's the "Old Town Road" song? Edited May 2, 2020 by unclescott58

Back on topic: More good ones Snake. But, I will be interested in seeing if anybody complains about the Michelangelo God and Adam one. It's very close to the the Last Supper one that I put up a couple of weeks ago, and had taken down. It's funny to me. So I'm not complaining. But don't be surprised if somebody does.
