  1. Had it happen at a football game.
  2. I remember laughing at the wife when she bought AAA a ton of years ago. Once again I was wrong. Probably used it 8-10 times in the last 20 years. More than paid for itself with the first tow.
  3. Some of them pre pay with cash.
  4. I’d hang either of those Pee Wee paintings in a place of prominence in my home.
  5. I thought Selena was dead.

    Getting old sucks

    Call and ask them to hook you up with a Cologuard test. Other than carrying that box with poo in it into the mail place and everyone knowing what’s in it it’s painless, and gives you some peace of mind.
  7. People with kids that count on the government for their entire income and keep getting pregnant.
  8. Someone needs to explain the order of the Greek Alphabet to this guy.
  9. Too much saltwater from the gulf getting into the bays and doing damage to the ecosystem. It was built to help the bay fishing but actually hurt it and the oystering.
  10. I know some veterans that have Emotional Support Animals. I know most ESA’s are bullshit, you can go online and get any animal certified as one by a quack veterinarian so you can take your non housebroken bark machine on a plane or into HEB and no pet clauses at apartments are rendered useless. But real, trained ESA’s help a ton of people. I have a buddy from the VFW, an Afghanistan Vet, that won’t leave his house without his dog. Wouldn’t even go into the midget wrasslin with me (no shit) because his dog wouldn’t be able to handle the noise. My question is, these folks put so much of their emotional well being on these animals, who will more than likely be dead within 10-13 years. What are they going to do then, just go get another one and put their emotional baggage on it? That’s a lot to ask of a puppy.
  11. I was waiting for the shotgun blast. The other 49 are obviously pussies.

    Thank God it’s over and good luck going forward. The last MRI I had in Bastrop I was in the tube and heard a freaking dial up modem. Just how old is this machine and just what’s being blasted through me?
  13. Probably don’t want to be a woman going back to Somalia not doing what you’ve been told. If I were her I’d just try and take over a cargo ship on the ride home and go back a hero.
  14. Fucking perfect.
  15. I haven’t read all this, but then stop fucking moving here!
  16. Growing up we had about 2 acres of front yard, no riding mower or finish mower for the tractor. The old man had 4 sons and a 21 inch push mower. Preteen days and I’d be out there pushing for awhile and here would come my dad telling me, “Let me spell you for a minute” and then he’d mow the rest of the section I was working on. Part of me had my feelings hurt as I was doing the best I could and wanted to please my dad, but most of me was more than happy to go back into the house and listen to some BTO or 3 Dog Night. Fast forward to last night! My 11 year old was going on a 3 day trip to the water park with her pal and wanted Mom’s car cleaned up for the trip. So we’re out there washing it and listening to some music and she’s just not doing it the right way, which of course is how I’d do it. I started to say something and I sweatergod “Let me spell you” came into my head! I bit my damn tongue right quick! I had to remind myself to live in the damn moment, she’s not on her freaking phone and actually wants to spend time with her old ass dad for a change! Who gives a shit if there’s a couple of missed spots on a car that’ll be dirty again the next day? If I live through them I have maybe 18 summers with her til she’s out on her own and we’re closing out number 11. As my old friend (now dead) used to tell me when he was fighting cancer, “This ain’t a rehearsal, this is it, the only life you get. Enjoy every second!” That’s it, just some bullshit I needed to remind myself of.
  17. I figure every Surly post is in jest.
  18. Because people really are like sheep. Social media says something’s cool, then you better jump in line! And bitch don’t show up to Barbie not wearing pink!!
  19. I watched a YouTube documentary on Angry Grandma, a YouTuber/TikToker or whatever where this woman’s grandson pranks her and generally makes her mad and she cusses like a sailor and then strings her along to drag it out. Here’s an episode if you feel like watching it. NSFW language.
  20. Because I’m retired and have little else to do, and after 30 years my wife still lets me do naked stuff with her on occasion. An hour of wasted time in a store for a solid two minutes of workout seems like a more than a fair trade at this point in my life.
  21. We went to Wal Mart after lunch and I was killing time while the girls shopped. I knew I had at least an hour before they were going to be ready. Came out of the bathroom at the exact time another guy was reaching for the door to come in and we almost bumped into each other. I gave him an “Excuse me… sorry” and he didn’t reciprocate, just mean mugged me and brushed by. I was thinking what a rude ass he was when I saw his loaded up cart full of stuff he’d left outside the bathroom and spent the next 10 minutes putting everything back on the shelves.
  22. Just checking in…. Hopefully things have started to look up. Hang in there.
  23. Maybe more of a random thoughts…. If you want to smoke, or have a chaw or a dip feel free, but I think you should have to show proof of health insurance to buy tobacco.
  24. Olds and handicapped. And people who don’t care about decent produce.
