  1. My mom (RIP) used to do this. I would go to the bathroom in the morning before I got ready for school and find it. When I complained, she said "I have to get up and pee during the night and I don't flush because the noise will wake me up more and I won't be able to get back to sleep afterwards." I said that made no sense and she would not respond but instead she'd act like the opinion of her teenaged son meant nothing, which was the damn truth.
  2. I had a heated debate with a co-worker about this, like 25 years ago. Both of our SSN started with the same number. He claimed the first 3 digits are based on where you were born. I said that's bullshit because I wasn't born here and he was. Eventually, I called the SS office and asked. Turns out, he was right. The reason mine started with the same number as his was because my parents didn't get me a SSN until we moved here when I was 12 or so, when the federal government said you need to have SSNs for all the dependents on your tax return. My wife and kids were all born here, so we all have the same starting number.
  3. I've been watching ou get away with bullshit no-calls and phantom flags for 35+ years. It finally happens to them and the fucking world is crumbling. Sooner magic my ass. Fuck ou and fuck any bitchboi that cries about it.
  4. People that list things for sale and say "This won't last long!!!". If you're selling it and you know it will sell quick, why do you have to tell us? Just post it and let it sell. This goes double for douchebags on facebook and car dealerships.
  5. The number of 60+ year old men I see around the metro who are wearing ou softball champs tees is staggering.

    Getting old sucks

    Went out to brunch with the family today, the football pregame show was on the TVs. They showed the crew for one of the upcoming games and I said to myself "Man, Trent Green looks old. I guess that's understandable, as he's been out of the game for years". Then the names popped up on the screen and it turns out it was actually Matt Ryan. Fuck.
  7. I'm always a pessimist when it comes to bedlam, so no. I think our DBs give up too many big plays and that Gabriel will have a good game, throwing it over the top of the defense for TDs.
  8. Make that 271.

    London

    I was in London the first week of December last year. The lighting of the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square is cool. Lots of little pop up tent shops. Hot chocolate, Belgian waffles and crepes with different toppings, sausages being grilled. And with the national gallery in the background? Pretty fucking great.
  10. This is exactly what I do when I play Grand Theft Auto: V. It's a great strategy. Now he just needs to call Lester and get his wanted level removed.

    Getting old sucks

    Turned 50 last week. I'm at work, getting some files from the cabinet and the phone rings. I have to navigate this chicane from one filing cabinet, around another, then to my desk. I get there and feel my back pop as I lunge for the phone. The motherfucker had already hung up.
  12. No. I'm free from color matching questions but I'm on-call for other shit. Mostly things like "Should I wear a coat?".
  13. This is one of the few times I am glad to be colorblind. She'll ask me about color options for whatever and I just say "Who are you asking?" and only then will she remember that I've been colorblind for the entirety of our 14 year marriage.
  14. Because I don't want 12 giant open rolls of paper towels gathering dust or whatever in my pantry. My wife calls it the pantry but it's a closet inside the laundry room, there's no food just cleaning supplies and assorted crap that Mitch Cumsteen's wife would appreciate.
  15. Went to Costco to get my paper towels. Came home and opened the package to discover that they don't individually wrap the rolls anymore, I guess. Now instead of putting the rolls on the shelves in the pantry, I have to find a place to store the whole giant package.
  16. My buddy wanted to name his first kid (a girl) after his dad, who has a unisex type of name. His dad said, please don't, I hate my name. They did it anyway but spelled it all fucked up, just to be different I guess. Years later, he told me "I regret that. She's gonna have people pronouncing her name wrong for the rest of her life".
  17. Shit, I know someone who used it for a couple of low level legal arguments (not in court) and he's 2-0. He loves that thing.
  18. It's just going to let her know which stuff she doesn't have yet. And another trip to Target will commence.
  19. Kirk has made $231MM, I'd take whatever advice he wanted to give me.
  20. LOL the backups are getting takeaways now.
  21. Well, there was one guy that just couldn't cut the mustard. We traded him to....wait a sec....
  22. Flipping around football games yesterday and watched some of the end of the Eagles game. They pan into the crowd and there's a guy wearing a cool hat. Not an eagles hat, I don't like the eagles at all. It looked like the old powder blue Phillies stuff they used to wear in the 70s. But it's not a phillies hat, it had something else written on it in the old phillies font. It took me under 2 minutes to find this hat online. It's from a surf shop in New Jersey, of all places. It just made me think about when I was a kid watching a movie or tv show, and I'd see a guy wearing a cool t-shirt or hat or something and wish I had that. There was no way to figure out where the item was from or how to get it. Now I can find out in minutes.
  23. I'm colorblind and at first glance, I always think its the South Africa flag.
