Who is your favorite of the 4, then? For me, in this case, there is a replacement for displacement.

I do like Sophia Loren to be honest. And maybe shocking to ya'all I just think she was a class act.

[Murf the Surf]

A little before my time.

[Esteban]

Yes, definitely had class. No one like her imo.

I remember in the early 80's in Germany, you could get an oil change for a Peanut Butter jar.

"The average price of a pack of cigarettes in the U.S. is around $8.00, with prices varying significantly by state due to taxes and other factors."

My first pack, from a gas station vending machine, was 35¢ in the late 60s. Quit smoking around 30 years ago. Filthy disgusting habit that kills people.

I quit the day I separated from the Army, April 1, 1970. I smoked for 18
months, picking up the habit while stationed in Germany. A carton of smokes
was 4 or 5 bucks. Tobacco was free in Vietnam. I’d guess about 70% of the
troops smoked.

The 2nd claim to fame for our little berg is Bubblegum Alley. Opinions of
the alley vary from cool to gross. And yes, it does have a bit of an odor
on warm days.

Sorry, been it bit busy.

I’m not a smoker so I had look it up. A 30 pack of cigs is about $65 FFS!

I don’t now how people afford it.

Looking at the Groceries they are all the cheap home brands so I’m would probably be true!

I had to look it up but a pack here is $65, which is about $40 USD!

Clippy, the creepy mansplainer king.

"Clippy was widely despised, especially among women."
("Clippy might never have existed if Microsoft had listened to women" (June 25, 2015):
https://mashable.com/archive/clippy-male-design)

"Clippy was designed as a male agent. Clippy was born in a meeting room full of male employees working at Microsoft. The facial features resemble those of a male cartoon or at least that is what women in the testing focus group observed. In a farewell note for Clippy, the company addressed Clippy as ‘he’ affirming his gender. Some women even said that Clippy’s gaze created discomfort while they tried to do their tasks."

Look at my pic of Sophia Loren above. She does not have IBT. As a matter of fact, they look just right.
