  1. Hit up Sonic today at lunch (yeah, I know, but I though I'd try the smash burger). Anyway, across from me, one of the spaces was blocked off with an orange cone. Pretty obvious to me it was because the intercom thing didn't work. So I watch in amusement as some woman sees the cone, and just kind of slowly pulls in and pushes it out of the way with her car. Then pushes the button on the intercom, waits, pushes it again, waits, all the while the carhops are walking by ignoring her. She finally waves one of the carhops over. I can't hear their conversation, but it looked pretty animated on her part. Carhop just kind of stood there and let her go off, said something, picked up the cone and showed it to her, and waited until she backed out and replaced the cone. By that time the lunch rush had really hit, and I don't think there were any spots available. edit to add: Smash burger was meh, like pretty much all sonic food, but their new fries are pretty good.
  2. My fourteen yr old thinks of Ice T as the guy who shills for Raisin' Cane's.
  3. God Emperor of Dune was pretty bad as well.
  4. Heading out to an early lunch, then I'm done for the day... FIGHT!!!
  5. I went full on shaved bald some years ago and never looked back. Its glorious, liberating, and feels damn good. Once a week, clippers with no guard, quick and easy. When I'm retired and a full time man of leisure, I might get a weekly standing reservation at a barber and just have them shave it, just as an indulgence. Starting getting gall bladder pain a while back. Getting more and more frequent. Dr. Google tells me its gall stones passing. Not nearly as bad as kidney stones, but much more frequent. Feels like heartburn but in the wrong place. Not worth getting my gall bladder removed, but still sucks. I'm feeling this morning's breakfast tacos. Dr. Google also says gall stones can be reduced by cutting out saturated fats, eating lean meats, less dairy, more veggies, lose weight, exercise more, yadda yadda yadda, the same ol' shit.
  6. Should have ripped out his nose piercing after he was done pistol whipping him.
  7. Off the top of my head, I made of list of Elmo pros and cons: Space X- Current leader in the private space industry, but only with massive government investment (some might call that "welfare"), but continuous, repeated environmental violations. Boca Chica, Port Isabel, South Padre Island, and the southern Laguna Madre will be a giant superfund site long before Space X lands somebody on the Moon, much less Mars. Goodbye fishing, goodbye best birding in the US, goodbye best beaches in Texas. Given us a rocket that can be reused (although maybe we should wait until its successfully relaunched before we start sucking Elmo dick), looks cool on video when it lands. Tesla- Started out well, turned to complete shit. See cyber suck, FDS, human controlled robots serving drinks (lol wut?). Boring company- Complete joke from the start, hasn't done anything. Of course Aggy goes full aggy and hires them to bore a tunnel.... somewhere. Neuralink- not even sure what the fuck that is, other than a money hole. Starlink- being actively used by Russian invaders. Bringing internet to remote areas? Is it reliable, affordable, I don't know. Does it do what it was supposed to do, such as provide high speed internet to a moving vehicle? Adds to the low Earth orbit landfill (space fill?). Twitter- lol, not going to bother. Add in safety violations at various factories, accident rates way higher than any industry average, union busting, more ignoring of environmental regulations. Keeps talking shit about saving humanity by colonizing mars, which is a fucking joke that a smart 9 year old knows is bullshit. If he really was concerned about humanity, he would use his fortune and alleged smarts to reverse global warming. He's a wannabe fascist. He openly promotes conspiracy theories that undermine democracy and endangers marginalized communities. He's also a complete dipshit, horrible father to X kids from Y baby mommas, an illegal immigrant, lies lies lies, over promises and underdelivers, and is just an all around terrible person. Extremely punchable face, wears cowboy hat backwards in an attempt to look Texan (black felt in summer in S. Texas), sports a disgusting half ass beard, smells his own farts. Last and maybe worst (depends on your world view I guess), he's a billionaire. Billionaires should not exist in a functioning democracy. When they do occasionally show up like a turd washing up on a public beach, they should be immediately sterilized and disposed of/ taxed out of existence, and viewed as a symptom of a fucked up sewer system/ failing democracy, not something to be celebrated and idolized. Did I miss any? Also, sorry for bad grammar.
  8. Raisins in potato salad? OK, now you're just making shit up.
  9. The solution is more, smaller, regional conferences. Our Football Supreme Ruler ESPN would never allow that however.
  10. I blame the History Channel.
  11. Allred voted for it. Hugely bipartisan. Assuming the bill actually exists.
  12. The R's had a meltdown, and the media reported on the meltdown. If kamala or the D's had a meltdown over the use of "retard", the media would report on that. If no D's have a meltdown, why should the media?
  13. is a gotdamn classic. I can remember as a little kid thinking that dog party up in the tree looked awesome.
  14. My daughter loved those pigeon books when she was little.
  15. Posted some time back that my freshman daughter made the varsity cross country team. They won district, she was the 5th finisher on the team. For those that don't know, a varsity cross country team is 7 runners, but only the first five are scored. Regionals in a week.
  16. Should have had the 5 year old wear it. Would've been 10 ft deep in hoes.
  17. Ol' JD is The Derel? It checks out.
  18. The average moron (and to be clear, all of here at Surly are above average morons) who is completely tuned out of politics or news in general, doesn't realize The doTArD is senile because they don't see endless clips of his senility from twitter or tik tok like we do. And in the brief glimpses they do see, he seems vigorous, or at least more vigorous than Biden. If you watch them speak with the sound off, The DOTarD looks like he is in better health. Different worlds, different realities.
  19. OK. Fuck if I know, you assholes are the political junkies. But I'm pretty sure NPR isn't just making shit up.
  20. Is that her schoolgirl uniform?
