I thought Shinola meant shit.

You can't tell the difference?

On Fri, 16 Feb 2018 00:16:29 -0000, Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson"),
the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again:

> I thought

Ah, THERE's the snag again, poor idiot!

Some of Birdbrain's superhuman physical "feats" (as told by the poor idiot
himself):

"I go hillwalking barefoot for hours in the snow, my feet just go red.
Extra blood, they can't freeze."
MID: <op.y3xjm...@red.lan>

Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson") about himself:
"I can sleep outside in a temperature of -20C wearing only shorts".
"I once took a dump behind some bushes and slid down a hill to wipe my
arse".
(Courtesy of Mr Pounder)

"Having read the utter bullshit about dying if you fall in a freezing lake
for 15 minutes, I've tried it on many occasions. It takes 30 minutes to
even get chattering teeth, an hour to shiver nicely, and 2 hours to shiver
hard."
MID: <op.yvpol...@red.lan>

"The alleged timing is, fall into ice water and die of cold in 15 minutes.
Do what I do, go swimming in winter in a partially frozen lake, and do so
for a lot more than 15 minutes. Jesus Christ your teeth don't even start
chattering until about 30 minutes."
MID: <op.y3xvh...@red.lan>

"I've had my fingers unable to operate the key to unlock my car (after
swimming in ice water for a couple of hours and running around the mountains
naked in a blizzard). But it's not uncomfortable."
MID: <op.yvrcs...@red.lan>

"Your eyes have something called an iris, you can't damage them looking at
the sun. An eclipse is dimmer than the normal sun, so even safer. I never
used any specs the last time 10 years ago and my eyes are fine."
MID: <op.y5fw9...@red.lan>

Brain damaged Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) about himself:
"I prefer a good whack to the head with a breaker bar (the 3 foot extendable
rod used to get leverage on a car wheel nut)."
Message-ID: <op.yv2dx...@red.lan>

More of Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) sociopathic world:
"Most animals don't attack me, even though their owners tell me they're
dangerous. I had to laugh at one woman who ran out to tell me her dog was
going to bite my hand off, then saw me petting it. I once bought a parrot
that was extremely vicious. I walked into his house and picked it up, then
cuddled it. He said he'd never seen it do that in 10 years."
MID: <op.yta6w...@red.lan>

His elbow? No, wait, that's a different saying.

The confusion is sometimes understandable. A Kliban:

That's one of my favourite A. Kliban cartoons.

However, compared with the present incumbent Nixon was one of the
greats. Sadly, A. Kliban is no longer with us, but I wonder how he
would have imagined the Trump Monument.

Did B. Kliban have a different forename in your country?...r

No. I remembered that too late: I was misled (misle + d) by the way CDB
referred to the cartoon.

It was a trap; but what I expected to catch was a correction, not polite
concurrence.

Maybe there was some point to those periods.
