Ironically, that's literally just broadcast WWE from quite a while ago. Way, way more shameful than porn, but at least I can link to it directly!

okay, this sent me down an etymology rabbit hole about eschequier/exchequer, but also that the origin is likely based on CHESS?

From the notion of "a sudden stoppage, hindrance, restraint" (1510s) comes that of "act or means of checking or restraining," also "means of detecting or exposing or preventing error; a check against forgery or alteration."
...
Hence also the financial use for "written order for money drawn on a bank, money draft" (1798, often spelled cheque),

A year ago i needed two root canals and the doc just said "do you think we can knock them both out in one sitting". Yes, I fell asleep.

Omg yes, I got 12 words into describing a problem to the doc before getting interrupted with "Gout. Lemme write a scrip." Worked perfectly.

If all your socks that you own are identical, you never have to make choices on what to buy. That's technically matching socks.

I sold a revised bayou once that was graded "heavy wear"; still $130 or so. If the cards rare, it'll always be worth it.

Also, if you're not walking TOO far and don't mind looking ~weird~, knot the handles of bags full of light items around the side straps.

If you plan on doing multiple trips, you can pack a surprising amount into a large backpack; I lived for 5 years only having that for carry.

If you're suspected but have an alibi, the *first* thing you should do is get a lawyer. First thing. THEN worry about being helpful.

well, speaking purely out of hearsay from friends, start with googling "Aneros Vice" and make some life decisions.

Once, I had someone tap me on the shoulder as i was washing up to tell me I pissed louder than anyone he'd ever heard.
