I don't get the black line. Or is that not supposed to be there?
Mouse slip in photoshop?
I think it's the vague, hard-to-explain line that needs to be crossed in order for a movie to get a PG13 rating.
That'd be my guess, or something similar. I'd presume that whoever did the photoshop (it wasn't me) had enough skill that it wouldn't be there unintentionally.

That's weird. The original image didn't have anything there. It was simply a bat, an axe, and a gun with the hands in the same place.
At first, I thought it might have been a tie on the one guy. But it's not a tie. perhaps Notatie == Nudity.

I just got this text from Michelle:
Shortly after I did some speed-research. It turns out that it is an electric skateboard with a chair strapped to it - and electric skateboards/hoverboards are allowed. I was able to pass that on to her before they nailed the guy for nothing.

My kids saved up and bought an attachment for their hoverboard that essentially turns it into a Go-Kart. It's just a frame with footrests, handles, and a front wheel. The hoverboard simply straps to it and acts as the rear wheel drive.
It is cool (and fast) as hell. It really makes me wish I was a kid again, but there's no way I'm getting on that and winding up in the emergency room.

My kids are now trained on good vs. well. It even bothers them to hear someone say "I did good on my test."
Now if I could get my 10-year-old to stop saying "Me and William were playing football today. . ."

and how many vs how much ...
I'm not familiar with this one. In what way do people use that wrong?
Are people saying "How many money does this cost?" and/or "How much kids were at the party?"
I have become really forgiving of language , and possibly sloppy. Most of my workmates speak english as a second or third language. My first wife learned english late in life. Raised my daughter to be dual language out of the box. My name starts with a hard J, which doesn't even exist for many folks, and my last name is basically unpronounceable outside of Germany. So basically any communication thats close enough is good for me. I'll answer to every variation of my name. And unless its actually critical, you could look at me, call me by a teammates name, and I'll still answer, Sometimes when I get typing too fast, I will accidently capitalize all the nouns or add gender, this usually happens when I am working with european folks.
And sometimes, this is really weird, sometimes I have to translate between two people who are both speaking english but they cannot understand each other due to the strength of their accents.

Yes. My 12yo is probably getting it wrong just to mess with me now. More the latter than the former.

My absolute favorite, and one that I can't love any more, is when someone responds to a questions with "who?"
Examples:
"Have you ever had their chicken salad sandwhich?"
"The who?"
"I'd love to get an automatic sprinkler system."
"An auto who?"
Stepped in what?
Slept with who?

Oh yeah, but not so seriously.
For me it's all either fun or fascinating. But the one that gets me is "don't". Everything is fun and games until I here "She don't know what's going on."

Most confused moment for me was in SC when a coworker said "I got pulled s'mornin'"
I'd assume they meant their spouse gave em a quick hand-job before work.
My thought exactly!
The reaction of other people in the area indicated it was a bad thing which eliminate that thought. In my native upstate New York english, it would translate roughly to "I got a speeding ticket this morning." The more literal translation being "I got pulled over this morning"
I forget a lot of things and this happened 24-25 years ago so the fact that it sticks with me still is pretty amazing.
I still disagree with real words that used to not be..it still looks and sounds wrong. Like pleaded guilty instead of plead guilty. Or I learnt instead of I learned.

Every word in that sentence is a real word that used not to be.

Well yeah, if you go back far enough every word ever spoken used not to be. Literally.
You don't even have to go back that far. Practically every word now is a changed version of a word that was spoken earlier. Many have changed dozens of times.
Language evolves and changes constantly. The invention of the dictionary hasn't stopped that.
"I still disagree with real words that used to not be.."
"Ik stillan desagreer wither res vort thæt [used] tō nought beon..." (I couldn't find an older form of 'used' as an adjective.)
If you are crossing a road at an intersection it makes sense. Otherwise, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
