    I drive Mopac to dry the truck after a  wash.  That makes it look prettier than any truck really needs to be.  

    As long as you don't get your window smashed in by some Subaru driver, I guess that's acceptable.

    That’s just a passive aggressive way to get you to do it. At least it is in my house. 

    Mine will flat out take the tools and do it herself.  Problem is she's very much of the mindset if it works, she'll use it.  As in: if a block of wood is sufficient, she'll use it as a hammer.  Or if my best chef knife can cut a bagel, then it MUST be a bagel knife. So our paring knife is dull as hell, many a screw is cammed out using the wrong screw driver, and all the paint can lids are dented to hell and never put back on correctly from prying them open using whatever can be found.

    I think the idea that coming to Austin for the Texas game and then killing yourself at an after party seems completely bonkers but people do fucked up shit.

    Just out of curiosity, when is the appropriate time to commit suicide?  Is there an understood time and place to schedule these things?  I feel like most people committing suicide are really taking into account others' feelings, especially friends and family, so I think we should absolutely come up with a standard here.

    When you’re walking barefoot in your house and your pinky toe catches a piece of furniture and you collapse and want to die. 

    Slammed my finger in the truck door a week and a half ago.  Pretty sure it broke it, but not bad enough to go to the hospital.  The initial 5 minutes or so, the pain was so bad I forgot how to breathe.  I'll take stubbing the pinky toe over that any day.

    That's my boy.  We make tacos for dinner, tell him to eat his food.  Gives me a cold, dead stare as he eats the middle of the taco.  It's his go-to, flip-you-the-bird move.

    I would like to punch two men in the face. Although I have no proof, I’m confident both are TAMU engineers. 

    First, the guy who designed the Christmas light strings in which a tiny wire is required to contact another tiny wire in an insert to complete a circuit, which is required to make all the lights on the string work. If just one of the lights on the tree gets slightly twisted, or disturbed, or looked at in a cruel manner, the circuit is interrupted and the whole string is dead, until you go light-by-light, pulling the damn things out, figuring out which filament isn’t making contact. I would like to punch that guy in the face. 

    I’m no electrical engineer, but it seems to me that it would be incredibly easy to design a string of lights in which the circuit functions regardless of whether any individual light is functional, is seated correctly, or is even present in its seat  

    Second, the guy who decided to use that design of light strings to tie into pre-lit artificial Christmas trees. Inevitably one or more of the strings on the tree will go bad. Then the user is required to go light-by-light on a light string that’s tightly wrapped around the branches in a completely random way. Doing so means getting one’s hands and wrists repeatedly abraded by the artificial branches and needles, and it’s almost impossible to find the offending light because the lights are all tucked in among the branches. 
     

    Screw those guys.

    Seriously, there was a time when this was the gold standard for a lot of guys.  Never understood it myself.

    Death to high-waisted jeans.  I withhold judgement until the low-rise jeans can be demonstrated.
