Best way to make a million bucks in bluegrass is to start out with two.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Gmail so damn stupid.
Trying to create a new account:
*types in username*
"That username isn't available"
Goes to login area:
* types in the same username*
"Can't find email associated with that name"
Goddamn stupid.

Due to superstition, buildings tend to skip floor thirteen or room thirteen.
But they don't do that in cinema. Season thirteen isn't skipped.

Alternatively, you could start with a successful comedy and film career.

Like a breeding pair? Or 2 sod farms? I'm confused.
NVM, I got it.

It means you have to spend more money to make less.

I am a good bar buddy. I frequent a sushi place once a week and for some reason random people talk to me. I like to think I can have a conversation with just about anyone. Friday I got cornered by a family practice lawyer who knows a lot of the same peeps I know. He talked at me for over 2 hours. I nodded and smiled and occasionally interjected. Stopped in to the place yesterday to pick up a gift card and the lawyer left his number and a note for me. It was effusive and overly sharing. The guy likes Jordan Peterson and Trump. Nuff said.
I'm happy with temporary friends. I wish the bloke well but really don't want a relationship with a cunt.

Time to order up that Harris-Walz 2024 tee.

Edit Reason: adding details
)
Case in point. I was on a return trip from Shanghai. My flight out of China was delayed so I missed my connection at Newark and had hours to kill once arriving there. I sat at a bright looking bar in the Newark terminal, insensitive to the time of day here in New Jersey. I think it was about lunchtime or so. A large African-American guy sat down next to me. I greeted him, in part, by saying "It's so nice to chat with an American again." He chuckled, and we had a nice time together for the time we had. He was an NFL player who had been traded to the New York Giants. never even got his name, and I think he appreciated that.
That's the kind of bar buddy I enjoy. Real, present, and easy.
