  1. Pulling out the first 1 or 2 tissues from a new box, they just get shredded because they're packed in too tight.
  2. That's why I'm kinda glad I have a hybrid schedule, every other week in the office. It's good to see coworkers and get some of that esprit de corps.
  3. Your teammate sounds dumb for calling his insurance company to rat himself out. Does he go by the police station to admit to speeding and cut them a check? Also, he could bring a lunch to work and drink water, if he's that hard up.
  4. Well, I shit more when I'm working from home. Should they pay me more for my increased TP and water usage? I also use my own electricity to power my work PC, and use my personal cell phone. Should I get reimbursed for that?
  5. I started rotating in May 2020. My annual and sick leave started stacking up like a mofo, as I didn't need to take off as much. I now take a nice vacation every 12-18 months. I had so much extra money that my wife and I can eat out more or buy new clothes more often. I'm a sneakerhead/shoe collector and I've bought more shit than I care to admit. I bought a brand new car in April last year, still haven't hit 10K miles yet. My fuel costs are way down too. So yeah, those big corps are gonna get their money if they just shut up.

    Walked into the living room this morning, just a normal day. But as I was walking, I guess I pulled something in my back/ribs. Had to double over just to catch my breath. Better now but I'm sore and I'm sure that will last for several days.
  7. Now that this shit has settled, I'm glad I don't have to hear the term "four corners" for a while. Don't know why but that phrase grinds my gears like a mofo.
  8. How badly will the PAC remainders get ravaged by the portal? I know they weren't bringing in elite talent, but anyone they have that's worth a damn has got to have one foot out the door, right?
  9. I agree it would be a great match but who would they play? Sure, they can still play ND but who else?
  10. Oregon, Washington to Join Big Ten, Leave Pac-12 (actionnetwork.com)
  11. Utah has been quiet as a church mouse. Are there any hard rumors that they're ready to move to the B12? All I've seen is twitter speculation, nothing from their admin. I misread that as "Fully engorged" but I think it works either way.
  12. That Apple offer expires tonight, I read somewhere. What if the board tells AZ they have to stay with ASU and then AZ files some sort of appeal? They could threaten to drag this out until after the deal is off the table. Some kobayashi maru kind of shit.
  13. Why would Arizona care enough to allow this to affect their decision?
  14. I wonder if Oregon got some concessions in order to stay. There has to be something extra in it for them.
  15. As an OSU fan, if anyone should have an AD named "Bubba", it should be us.
  16. Who is "BubbaUNC" and why should I give a fuck what he thinks? If it's a person of note, why doesn't the author of the tweet name him, as well as tagging him?

    My wife has a family friend, he's more like a second father to her. He got sent to Nam right after he got married. He and his wife got to meet in Hawaii for his R&R during the war, that was their honeymoon. Fast forward 50+ years and his health isn't good. They decided to re-enact that trip and go back to Hawaii. His doctors were iffy on it but didn't outright forbid it, so they went. They were on the return flight home when he started having issues. Had to stop in Denver and they told their kids to get there ASAP, as it wasn't looking good. My wife got the news last night and was a mess. By some miracle, he's doing better today but who knows how much longer he's got left. He's such a great guy, I hate to hear about this.
  18. Careful, that kind of talk will just lure ou back to the B12.
  19. #14 from Sonic, breakfast burrito with tots. If enjoying that is wrong, I don't want to be right.
  20. Does ND have some sort of out that I've missed (Which is entirely possible)? I thought they were locked in the ACC for years?
  21. I do not like people to eat in my car. I don't want food falling into every nook and cranny and then my car looks like every car my wife has ever driven. Fucking french fries everywhere and shit. Well, we were on our way to Costco this weekend and decided to grab some breakfast on the way, and I was driving. As she opened up her burrito, I made a semi-joke about eating in the car. She laughed and proceeds to eat. It'll be ok, I said. She's not Italian but she absolutely must talk with her hands at all times. So as I'm driving down the interstate, she tells me the tale of a "freak driver"she encountered the other day, and starts waving her hands (which are holding food) around to....simulate how he changed lanes rapidly? I don't know because I was driving and not looking at her. But I did hear the small thud as a tater tot flew from it's little sleeve and fell somewhere between my seat and the console. "Ooops" she said. She looks down and says meekly, "I'll get it later". To which I sternly reply "How about you get it now??!?". To her credit, she got it out of there without any complaints or drama.
