You've never seen a modifier? Like a bright blue shirt? Or a very hot coffee? Is English not your primary language?

This is a strawman argument. Things often have many qualities or properties, like color, size, brand, trim, etc. So each one of those qualities may be said to be "the same". "Your car is the same color as mine, but mine has a metallic finish". Or "Our cars have the exact same paint".
I'll mail you my bill.
Exact same isn't the exact same as very hot. Scorching hot would be the exact same as saying exact same.
But all that aside I think you missed the spoiler in my post? Because in it I say I would use exact same the exact same way you do...
The DJ in that movie didn't know what the Search Boys band was searchin' for. It was a woman. Searchin', written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, was a #3 pop hit and R&B hit for the Coasters in June 1957:
Sorry, I missed your spoiler. Let's agree to agree then.
I know we've moved on to wordplay or whatever but this this got me thinking.
So I've spent multiple posts now deciding if I would rather fuck Schumer or Patinkin. And what I have now realized is that I am deciding between two guys that people think look like scotch. So I guess that means I want to bang scotch?
The therapist Pam has me going to loves talking about the subconscious. It's his fucking like favorite subject. Some of it seems sensible enough but I don't know if I buy into most of it. I think it's just a weird way to explain away shit, But it does also give you a way to like think about decisions before you make them so I guess even if it's all fake, that's a good thing. Whatever, so I've been exploring the subconscious lately and I guess this means my subconscious wants me to bang Scotch.
The Mrs wouldn't mind right? And I imagine wolf would be cool with it. And I don't even have to worry about you being down with it or not because I'm 100% sure you are. I mean who wouldn't want to fuck this overweight South Floridian Dutchman? So I guess I'll book the next ticket to Maine. I'll see you this weekend.

Now that I searched a bunch of Roger Clemens stuff because apparently I look like him he's all over my feeds.
This was in my news feed today. Not even my YouTube feed. It's just a link to this video which is a weird thing to have in the news feed.

You all know about John Hanson and the 6 others who were the Presidents of the United States in Congress assembled? Which was the title for the leader of the Confederation Congress which before now I did not know existed and I feel kind of dumb about it.
So after the Continental Congress and after the revolution ended, there was a 6-year period before Washington became President when we had Confederation Congress Presidents in the interim. It's fascinating.....so the public didn't vote for these presidents. The people voted for their state legislatures then those guys decided who to send to the Confederation Congress and then the Confederation Congress members voted on who they wanted as their president. And apparently the position didn't have nearly as many executive powers as Washington when he became a real President.
I need to read way more about this.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Similar to how it was with U.S. senators before the 17th amendment in 1913. Before then, state legislatures were the ones who selected senators to go to Washington. Nowadays it's easy to take for granted that it wasn't always done how we're doing it today.
As I've discussed, probably too much, I've been reading a lot about the civil war. Ulysses and Robert just fucking went at it over and over again and if it didn't involve so many Americans dying it would be really cool how they played chess with each other.
Anyway I might be getting too into this shit because I bought this last night:
This picture was taken during the second day of the Battle of Cold harbor, which was a place close to Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital of course. Anyway, Grant lost and he lost bad. On the first day or two 7,000 guys got killed and the battle lasted a while...5.1.1864 to 6.12.1864. At the end a total of like 12,000 union men were killed and around 2k Confederates died..... Anyway, this was a turning point for him where he realized he needed to stop with the full frontal assault bullshit and he started doing basically trench warfare and flanking more. Without the losses he suffered in this battle he may not have been able to go on to win the war.
So it's a freaking cool photograph and I want to hang it on my wall.

Check it out guys. It arrived and I think it looks pretty fucking cool on my wall.
Grant was a badass American hero and I don't know, it makes me happy to look at it.

When I'm sober and not spending way too much money on stupid stuff I find a way to still waste money on stupid stuff.
I am currently in the midst of a canvas print of historical figures spending spree. After getting that print of Grant, I realized I should get more civil war stuff and tell a story through pictures so I bought these:
I started off buying the photo of Lincoln in 1862 talking to McClellan after Antietam. Lincoln was pissed at McClellan for basically being a pussy and not going all out and dragged his ass there from DC which was 70 miles away so it wasn't an easy trip back then, just to tell him "what the fuck bro? You gotta go harder". He didn't listen and Lincoln fired his ass like a month later.
Then I got a picture of Meade from 1863 in front of a tent after he beat Lee in Gettysburg.
Next up is the picture of Sherman on a horse from 1864 with a cannon in the background. And that's right before he did his famous March to the Sea from Atlanta to Savannah.
And then I bookend it with another picture of Lincoln during his inauguration in 1865 because he was inaugurated in March and that sealed the deal. The war was over in April.

As a teenager my wall was filled with posters. I never bought a poster but they were often included with albums. I don't know what happened to them.
