It would certainly reignite my interest in NASCAR if I could watch Chase Elliot have to climb out his car to change his own tires and pour some gas, all while a half-dozen people are motioning wildly and yelling at him.

after having a series of minor medical appointments over the past 7 days, i’m feeling a little rough. obviously nothing contagious. BUT should i go out tonight to an event many months in the planning?

  • stay at home and bum only yourself out
  • go out with “my abdomen hurts” figuratively writ large across my face, potentially bumming out others

Be disagreeable, be ungovernable. Go out!

My question: If time and money weren’t a concern, what would you want to be for Halloween? I’d do Godzilla from All Monsters Attack!

We’d have to go to the same party, you could powerbomb me through a table or something

Edit: wait… Like a 70ft tall robot, or man sized suit? I take back what I said if it’s the former

The way you’ve framed this suggests this isn’t the case, but putting myself in this situation the qualifiers for each option would be reversed:

  • stay home and disappoint everyone
  • go out against my better judgment to make others happy

In which case I would certainly pick the first option: it is OK necessary to disappoint others for the sake of your well-being. This applies here if your well-being = going out, and saying your abdomen hurts = disappointing others.

I was joking when I made the post but I probably would go as Screaming Mantis. Money being no object means I get six extra fully functional arms for eating Halloween party food

Grime is so hard to clean. It’s basically a film of dirty lipids. Slime is a vaguer word but feels like something water-based that you can rinse off. Not scary!!

I feel like something can be slimy and perfectly clean (wet bar soap, for example) but for something to be grimy it must have dirt on it. Though, slimy can also refer to poor behaviour and grimey cannot. I still say grimy is worse

I’m going to play devil’s advocate and say “slimy” is worse.

Grimy can be solid and stuck-on filth. You can hold something grimy without necessarily getting it all over your hand. I don’t think the same can be said for Slimy.

If I absolutely had to, I’d rather use a grimy truck stop toilet than a slimy one.
