YAUT - I liked it

If I may ask, how does "shape in languages" mean RECT? I think I spent more time trying to figure out this part of the solution than I did failing to solve the original clue.

Thank you. I never would have made that connection. Besides subbing unknown for X instead of Y I was looking in ENTIRELY the wrong direction!

Been a while since I've stopped by here! Any OG's still around? I saw Marc Clifton on the first page of the lounge Hope all is well!!

As the official OG representative, I can confirm he is still around but being plagued by tablet and cat related problems at the moment.

You may be official, but you are still not getting paid.

It is interesting because Griff is the Original OG (OriginalGriff) here, but there are indeed other OGs here...

It is quite interesting that Griff somehow chose a Backronym all those years ago before he even knew what OG formally meant. That dude is amazing.
He travels to the future then comes back to live out his days in the past. Definitely the OGest of the OGs.

"How it goes" would be expected from an American resident; "How goes it" from a Dutch resident, as it is word-by-word translation.
I managed to piss off less people last year than the previous one, so that's a win

Thank you, sir. Appreciate the compliment. Good Tex-Mex too.
You don't have to die to visit.
Except in middle of summer.
Then it is hot as hell.

BBQ place near you. Not sure of quality, but hard to beat TX BBQ
Beef & Meat – Grill & BBQ Ranch Werl[^]
utility bill in winter last month was $130 close to max
Peak utility bill in summer is $300+
So yes, less money for heating.
