I generally start out my "FJs for the x week" by quoting MarkBarrett and stripping away the evidence of such regardless of whether we've performed similarly, because a) let's face it, we usually do perform similarly, and b) he puts a single space between his smiley codes, which I prefer despite its not making a visual difference, and which is annoying to do manually on my phone (where I usually do my posting).

Re: FJs for the 6/24/19 week
This was exactly my result as well. Danged short-term memory glitch made me forget the NATO conversation of not very long ago.
I could get into a lotus position but would never walk again.
I never heard of "criss-cross applesauce" until it was uttered during this tournament.

I'm at that awkward in-between age.
I'm smart and I want respect.

I'd never heard the term "criss-cross applesauce" until a few years ago. Just not something you're ever going to hear unless you have kids.
I'm also surprised a few people have said they're not sure if they can do lotus position. You're telling me you're not even going to try?

Like most (all?) things physical, it gets harder as you get older.This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2019 12:49 am I thought "of course I can do lotus position" but I just tried and I can't do it anymore.
And unlike most things, at least for me, it never got any easier with practice.
Thanks for entertaining my request for this poll question, Mark.

If there's YouTube video out there of somebody getting into lotus without using their hands, I don't want to see it.

When I was a kid, "criss cross applesauce" was called "Indian style", which I doubt persists today for obvious reasons.

Ok, I won't link that one but another that might make you feel better. Columbo cries "UNCLE" (from about 36:10).Robert K S wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 11:21 pmIf there's YouTube video out there of somebody getting into lotus without using their hands, I don't want to see it.

Look how masterfully he pretends to be inflexible! Way to commit to the role, Peter Falk. (raises glass)
