    Ok...goddamit did those costumes piss me off. Darth didn’t have his fucking face on the front of his outfit - he had buttons and lights and shit. Why’d they have to put a repeat face on the front? I wanted a damned costume that looked like the real thing. You hear that, you fuckers at TG&Y?!?!?

    So much this.

    When I saw those at either Gibson's or TG&Y (can't remember which, now), I told my mom screw it (in 1st grader language)...I'll go as superman instead.  And I did.

    But if I had known at that moment that going as Superman meant my mom would make me wear blue tights, I would have rethought my position.

  2. Last week I nearly lost it when my wife was trying to decide if the ceiling fan was going in the proper direction to cool.  She said the manual said it should go counter-clockwise to cool.  I looked up (it was on the slowest setting) and see it's going counter-clockwise, and I tell her we're good.  She looks up, and says, "no, it's going clockwise".

    I look up, look at her, look back up, and then say, "I don't know what clock we have in this house that goes in that direction, but that's counter-clockwise."

    She debated me for 10 minutes that the fan was going clockwise.  I finally had to put my watch up next to the fan to show her it was indeed going counter-clockwise.

    This woman has a doctorate, folks.  She has a doctorate but can't comprehend the difference between clockwise and counter-clockwise.

  3. Legal Seafood...order the POACHED lobster roll (it's poached in butter rather than mixed in mayo).

    The Warren Tavern in Charlestown.  Favorite hangout of Paul Revere and his friends.

    Bella Vista in the North End is a great place for Italian...but I will tell you that the guy running it the day we ate there pretty much convinced anyone with kids that this wasn't the place for them to dine at.

    I bought the Longhorns one at a flea market for next to nothing back in the 1900’s.   The top of the hat lifts up and it is a corked liquor bottle.  I’ll have to look to see what brand.  Only downside is one of the horns is chipped.

    Wild Turkey.

    i have the Raider Red one.  It was my father's. 

  5. Wait, he's big enough that a golf cup will...you know...be effective???  The golf hole is 4.5 inches in diameter for Pete's sake.

    I mean, come on, that's just showing off.

    Just a bunch of crazy motherfuckers in the world. I have been truly pissed in my life but never have I thought "let's go shoot up a place"

    I'll admit...if I had a machine gun installed on the front of my truck, I would be willing to pull the trigger on the fucking left lane slow ass drivers clogging up I-35.

    And as I'm introducing their car to my little friend, I would be yelling, "Left Lane is for Passing Only, motherfucker!"

     

    But otherwise, no, I have no interest in shooting people.  Who aren't driving in the left lane.

    Quoted for emphasis.  Remember that EVERY SINGLE TIME you hear or rely on witness reports.

    I've told this story before, about my personal experience with "unreliable witness accounts" - I was 10, mom and I were driving home from a movie (Politergeist -- you only moved the headstones!).  High speed police chase ends right next to us -- vehicle goes airborne, upside down, smashes into telephone pole.  Guy crawls out bleeding, but alive.  A few minutes later, we get home, and tell my dad what just happened.  I told him about the silver TransAm that crashed.  My mother says WTF are you talking about, it was a red pickup truck.

    Witnesses are unreliable as shit.

    And my mom was wrong.  I'm sure of it.  Or not.

    We will need a pic of your mom, from that time, to make a determination.

    If somebody smacked you in the head with a yo ball, you were well within your rights to shoot their eye out with one of these:

  9. Anybody else ever ride on the armrest block as a kid in the 70's?

    My dad was in a wreck when I was riding on it.  Old lady turned left in front of us.  Seatbelt?  no.  Carseat?  no.  I was 5 years old riding on that block and my dad's big ol' arm was my seatbelt.
