And here I am, thinking that Urban Dictionary was created tongue-in-cheek for entertainment and not intended to be taken seriously.

You would be shocked... try reading some of the student research papers I have had to read.

It's in the big SHARC DSP that's just right of dead-center on the board.

Thanks for that. I was still looking for the little cup of salsa. Figured it would be beside that.

The Holy of Holies is yours my brother! The Sacred NoK...Thee Nod of Knowledge. You win because I know immediately that I could never read, let alone understand well enough to grade that stuff! HUZZAH, indeed!

And in truth, I have been shocked more than a few times in my life. Most I think, qualified as "high voltage". It's a wonder I am not dead, LOL! Or am I...

It is the current that kills, a half amp across the heart can do it.

"According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Swift has accumulated 49 million certified album units in the United States. As of November 2022, she is the woman with the most weeks (60) at number one on the US Billboard 200."

Yeah. You may actually be the only one.

Never much cared for her music. But I do like tall women. They lay longer.

You didn't? You did! :-O

Yup! I really think that I have been blessed with an abundance of what is best called, "dumb luck".

I need a time machine to go back and save Karen Carpenter from herself and Joni Mitchell from hippies and cigarettes!
"Sigh"...Indeed.

There is no time travel because Karen is gone and Joni has a raspy voice. And neither of them had a bunch of little blonde haired, blue eyed babies, LOL!

And only I would know where they came from.
"Space babies! Yeah...That's it! That's the ticket! Spaaaace baaabies"...

LOL!

I'll take your Joni and raise you one Tina.

 

[XERO1]

This girl is fairly hot to me as well. I'd only put 15% or so of that down to the hair though, 50% her intelligence, 15% her knowledge and the remaining 20% her sense of humor.

But I'd never date her. Way too chaotic and straight up dangerous.

 

[OldRoadToad]

A (still!) beautiful woman with a wondrous voice. She married some French guy and lives there now.

I’m deaf in one ear. Or so I thought. I have hearing, but perceive it in the other ear. I only know this because a former workplace tests everyone for a baseline. There was no mistake. Synesthesia extends to other senses. But the upshot is that the limits of perception are an approximation. What’s difficult to measure can be derived or represented. The scope of what’s measured is often too narrow. There's a broader context. Experience matters. Unless you only care what sound ‘sounds’ like.

Well said, now I’m googling to learn more…

On another (colder) note, stay safe up there. Our daughter is doing an adv degree at UofM Twin Cities, and she flew out yesterday. Seems like it all went to hell today and for the forseeable…

OK, ORT. If we are going to talk about female singers with beautiful looks and voice, one cannot leave Annie Lennox out of the conversation.

She is a very beautiful woman and a fine vocalist!

Joni would never be able to resist the combination of my Teutonic Masculinity and Hans und Franz build! I would easily toss the cigarettes along with Crosby, Stills, Nash and (that idiot) Young literally through a wall and then pitch some woo as we used to say several decades ago...

This woman and the ethereally loverly (My Fair Lady ALERT!) Karen Carpenter are Goddesses. Yeah. I have weird taste in women, I know. How do I know, my co-workers constantly tell me that. I need the WayBack Machine now!
