Why do women always want to talk about nothing and want to know how you are `feeling'. I'm `feeling' like not talking to you, k? I'll talk to you when I gots sumptin to say.
While the pandemic and related restrictions have hit a great many of these locations hard, one "positive" result is that a number of fan favorite local gems that used to be dine-in only have now started offering delivery services.(unquote)
"Cap'n Ahab, sir" stammered the ship's physician to the feverish patient lashed to his bunk. "Cap'n Ahab, the white whale has dismasted, ye! He bit off your one good leg as well."
"Avast, 'Bones!" growled the terrible old man, "Why it's a great boon Moby Dick has done me---I'll never need to buy sock nor shoe again!"
There are times when looking for the silver lining shows not optimism but the instincts of a dog too often whipped.

There is no need to fish so deep for excuses to exonerate the testing racket. You need but avail yourself of ancient Chinese philosophy. Specifically the tome originally translated by Wilhelm Richard, more latterly by the inestimable Thomas Cleary. There we are told, "The purest activity is sheerest entropy. Being bound hand and foot, the adept attains all." Oh sorry, the book's title? "The Classic of the Golden Shower." Which names captures, I think, pretty much what is taking place here.
Sitting very still and breathing carefully and attentively can be very insightful. Sitting very still and not breathing, not so much.
Summertime, my mom kicked everyone outa the house once breakfast was done. Didn't matter the f*cuk all what we did afterwards, jus be back for supper. Country folk. Not city folk. No cell phones, no computers.
Maybe somebody at Beijinger has some insight into this. When I go on C-trip to book a room, and I use a VPN that suggests, eg, that I am London, and I use English seach terms, then the cheapest room is 700 kuai. Turn off the VPN, and use hanzi, and suddenly the same room is 120 kuai. C'mon Beijinger, a little investigative journalism is required.!!
Quoth Henry David Thoreau, "A man is rich in proportion to the number of greedy bee-otches he has dodged." (Thoreau lived by a little pond in Hebei, raising chickens and a very special goat.)
Thoreau, you may remember, kicked off at the age of 44, and had his mommy come out to clean his cabin and cook him some food twice a week. He also wore a neck beard, which was the then equivalent of todays nose piercing. I ain't quite like that. Besides that, goats is for milk, chickens are for eggs an meat, veggables is for eatin and stayin hearty and hale. wimmen is for cleaning your cabin, and etc. (and etc.)
So there I was, first time in Beijing. Renting a hotel room a couple blocks off of Tiananming square. 2015. Waiguoren without a clue. So i goes out and takes a gander around Tiananmin square. Wasn't 15 minutes when a beautiful young woman sidled up beside me. Good english. She's from Liaoning she says, just visiting her sister. So we walks around, surprisingly she wants no pictures taken of her. Thereafter, she suggest we have a pot of tea nearby, so we do. Pot of tea, plate of tasteless cookies and and a mug of piss warm beer, which I suspect was retrieved from the urinal. Cost ? Only 1600 kuai, which my dear friend assured me was normal. Coterie of three guy standing about me, insisting that I must pay. I am afraid we have not remained in contact. Shit fucking Jesus, Teahouse scammed.!!
Humanity is a sadly wearying, self-preoccupied spectacle. Its present day devolution does little more than transform the planet into a tastefully hidden garbage dump.
I told my kinda girlfriend that all I really wanted was a couple a acres in Hebei to grow vegetable and raise a few chickens an goats. She said I lacked ambition.
So there I was. In dire need. My hands I did wring fitfully. Fitfully I say！！ How my hands did shake! Desperately did I search, desperately I say!! Finally, yes finally !!, did I alight upon alcohol admixture advice. Should I not have so alighted no doubt my hands shaketh yet. I commend ye thus to the nines, and praise ye thus hallelujah!!
What one needs is a soup bowl of his favorite likker poured out at binge's beginning. Place it on the floor next to bed's head. In the morning, simply roll out of bed, and lap up enough of the elixir to steady the hands. Voila! Back to the magic of manual mixology
Roll out of bed??! What if i's been resting peacefully floorwise? Like somebody said (not sure who) ya can't fall off the floor.
Actually, something like a drip bird-feeder should be a solution. Just lie under it and suck the nozzle for DT -banishing alkie-hol. I think I'll start making feeder-bags to insert in the main bottle. The gummermint should subsidize this. A man too wasted to walk isn't out there spreading the pox-a-demic.
I am quickly searching Taobao as you write. How does one write `alcohol drip-feed bag' using hanzi?

This all requires something called foresight, which is usually the first thing to get trashed.!! Way too complicated for me. Soup bowl?
