  1. I realize it was a serious situation, but...

    "Hello sir, if you'll just have a seat wearing all your tactical gear here in our lobby. While you're waiting please fill out this complaint document. We're all out of clipboards but possibly you could use a plate from your body armor. Did you happen to bring a space pen or can I get you one? We're a bit backed up today, so someone should be with you in about an hour. Do you have a card or US coinage for your parking meter?"

  2. I'm a dumbass. Went to "The Batman" . The screen presentation was sooo dark(not the theme), but I kept sitting there thinking the next reel will be better. Nope.Hardly knew who the characters were unless they spoke. Movie ends and I tell the kid waiting to clear the theater. " No, man that's the way it's supposed to be, you know it's a dark movie"

    get home check the interwebs, Surly Movies... and no mention of the fact that it's like the last battle in GOT. That dark.

    I go to the theater's site and level my complaint. Messaged back, " Sorry, free tix for you, we were having issues."

    Guess I'll go see The Batman. For the first time

     

  3. When DJ Mike died, daughter <pic called to tell me. I told her I didn't even know you liked Beastie Boys. "Dad, You used to make us listen to them going to soccer practice". I beamed.

    Sitting at the post office waiting for my wife so we could get my son's passport. 

     

    We had an appointment for 8:30 at the post office near our house. We arrived 10 minutes early, only for them to say they aren't processing passports because "they're really busy". Fuck you and your appointment. They told us to go to another PO.

    In the mean time, my wife had to go home for a meeting and can't get here until 9:50 at the earliest.

    Now I'm here waiting with my son killing time because the fucking post office can't get their shit together.

    Agent:
    I think I know why we have reservations.

    Jerry:
    I don't think you do. You see, you know how to *take* the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them.

  5. I eat at Applebee's about once/week because of the other nearby choices. So I was shamed into going to Texas Roadhouse instead. No lemons, just limes for my UNSWEETENED tea. 

    Is this the right thread for the lemon/lime debate? I forget. Getting old sucks. Wait...
