Finding pink eye hilarious for some reason

I used to play quite a bit! It’s a lot of fun and got me to socialise in the park, so extra bonus. We did a bit of kicking on the Golden Gate bridge the day they shut it down for cars and hundreds of thousands of people showed up to walk to/from Marin County. So many people crossed that a ‘bump’ which had been there for years was flattened.

Is it like the American equivelant of keepie uppies? To be honest I only know about it because of the Simpsons

Good cop / bad cop to get a ‘perp’ to confess to a ‘felony’ or ‘misdemeanor’

#121

Sort of.


I still have my footbags around somewhere; they’re hand-made from a fellow in Berkeley.

Christianity seems to be a big deal

It’s bad. At least I live in the Godless wasteland of the San Francisco Bay Area where the churches are spaced out a bit.

The thing that would scare me is how any semblance of welfare/charity seems to be connected to the church which is exclusionary at best (downright authoritarian at worst)

Yep. I try to keep track of local charities that aren’t religious (so, not Goodwill or Salvation Army, for example) and recommend those whenever I can. Ideally someplace that works directly with the community and doesn’t maltreat the workers.
