  1. Props to craigslist. Made a 500 mile round trip drive last sunday to get seats for my Camaro. I'm not sure if I've recovered yet, what a beating. But 2 original seats in really good shape for $150 was too good to pass up.
  2. Former NBA player and coach Chris Ford died.
  3. When I worked at Oklahoma County 25 years ago, inmates got clean clothes once a week. You had to make that clean shirt last. Also, we had the inmates doing the janitorial work inside their cells and dayroom, so most jails ain't known for their cleanliness.
  4. It can be hokey at times but I liked Midsomer Murders. There's 20+ seasons. The best part is seeing Brit actors that you see in several other shows/films but you can't remember their name, or young actors that were probably doing some of their first work. Like Henry Cavill did an episode when he was 20.
  5. His father died recently. I also read that his daughter has serious health issues as well. I always think "I'm taking a sabbatical" sounds fake as fuck but in his case, it could very well be true.
  6. "talmbout" is the preferred nomenclature
  7. I remember as a kid, my dad would sometimes ask me if I wanted to go to the gas station with him, as he had to go gas up my mom's car. I didn't think to ask him why she didn't do it herself, I just liked doing stuff with my dad so I always went. Now I wonder if she ever got her own gas once in her whole life? Or did he just know it was a losing battle and he was gonna avoid the hassle? My wife gets her own gas just fine, but she has a hard time parking in the garage and has put a hole in wall from opening her door when she's too close.
  8. If everyone hates Texas as much as y'all keep saying, why would anyone have to pay the refs to screw you over? Wouldn't they just want to do it to you regardless?
  9. My kids were teens at the time, not a big deal. And sadly, no lingerie was purchased. Just regular underwear and bras.
  10. Years ago, my wife said she had coupons for free stuff at Victoria's Secret (beach towels IIRC) so she was taking our kids and going up there. I said cool. She comes home with several bags, I said gee, that's a lot of stuff, what's the damage. She gets a sheepish look and says $250 or something. I blew up and said what happened to free??? She said she got the free stuff but then they had other stuff that wasn't free, sooooo. I just walked away and kept to myself for the next 12 hours or so.
  11. Ha, the rumor I saw was Cale. There's only 2 teams left playing, not sure who we could be looking at.
  12. I've heard rumors that he's out and that's why all these WR are leaving. Why they haven't announced anything yet is beyond me. They need to do that ASAP.
  13. There's a line we all come to at some point and that line is "Do I do this chore myself, because I'm a fucking man" or "Fuck this, I can afford to pay someone to do this chore for me". I feel like Mr. Renner is way beyond that line. If I were in his shoes, I'd be staring out the window at the snow saying, "I'd hate to be the asshole plowing this shit". Or better yet, I'd never see snow because I'd be in a tropical climate 24/7.
  14. Says the guy with a big Q avatar. Are you in on this??!?!?!
  15. Who knew that Norman, OK could produce such a classy guy? I sure didn't.
  16. Fuck, he's only a couple of years older than my kids. This is horrible.
  17. He couldn't have waited another day? Now I need a new person. I'll go with Jimmy Carter.
  18. Barbara Walters checks out at 93.
  19. All right, listen up, ladies and gentlemen, our fugitive has been on the run for 8 days. Average truck speed, over uneven ground, barring injuries, is 60 miles per hour. That gives us a radius of... many miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is ROFLBOX. Go get him.
  20. We bought our 2 couches when we moved in 9 years ago. We only use the one that sits in front of the TV, just never have any company over to sit in the other one. Well, the one couch is worn down, not as comfy anymore. I was prepared to have to make a trip to the furniture store but to my surprise, my wife was ok with my idea to just swap the couches around. She said she's good for another 9 years. This is the only humblebrag I'll ever get, so just let me have it.
  21. Been wanting to do this for a while, had a terrible time finding what I wanted, but now it's done. I picked up a 1979 Camaro over the weekend. Runs strong and drives, has a 350. The interior is...not there, really. Needs a lot of work. I'm excited and terrified.
  22. 1. Gene Hackman 2. Pope Ben 16 3. Clint Eastwood 4. Willie Nelson 5. Mel Brooks 6. Dick Van Dyke 7. Bob Dylan 8. Willie Mays 9. Gary Player 10. Demi Lovato
  23. I read some rumor that he wanted more PAC schools than just USC/UCLA and the BIG presidents said no and now he's pissed. Wonder if there's truth to that.
  24. I think if a parent wnts to do things for their children, that's their choice. I didn't ask my folks for much, maybe babysitting when the kids were small. But if they offered? You bet your ass I'm accepting. 20+ years ago, my twins were in preschool and I was drving a 1993 Pathfinder. It was paid off and ran fine, not that it mattered because we couldn't afford anything else. It fit the double stroller and all the other shit. My mom felt differently. "I don't like you driving the kids around in that old car.", she said one day. I told her that's too bad because it's what I can afford. She said she'd trade me her 2001 Mazda SUV for my car and she'd trade it in for something new for herself. Done and done, you bet I jumped on that deal. "We want to buy XYZ for the kids", go for it. "Here's our old [hosehold appliance], we're getting a new one", I'll take it. When I moved into my house 13 years ago, my dad decided to buy us a washer and dryer. He had gobs of money and won't miss it, I said knock yourself out. But I never would've asked him for a dime.
  25. I threw my letter in the trash, as my hot water is now flowing again. Crisis over!
