  1. When I used to sweat under the sun for a few hours, I'd jump in the shower with 2 cans of cold Meeeeeller Laht. Drinking in the shower is under-rated, and should be done on a semi-regular basis. In fact, I will move some shampoo bottles to make room for beers later tonight.
  2. In Taiwan, they actually have professional cryers at funerals. I suppose families thought the louder you cry, the more you loved the deceased person. For my grandmother's funeral, my aunts ponied up for a professional funeral cryer who wailed into a microphone for an hour - sobs, moans, "grandma, why did you have to die, etc.". It was annoying as fuck.
  3. We have a really nice outdoor space at my office. Nice enough that people will come here to take engagement, wedding, resume pictures standing in front of trees. I'm working outside because it's an icebox in my office. The outdoor speaker has played 3 Phil Collins / Genesis songs in the past hour. This makes me happy.
  4. Dog made the wrong decision. She's not that hot.
  5. My parents have been staying with us over the summer. My mom has been a HUGE help around the house and making dinner. My son has been enjoying her cooking. Me: Ah-ma is only staying with us until Friday. Do you want her to make you anything? 10 YO boy: Awww... I like her cooking. *pause* Actually her cooking is just passively better, but It's just better than what mommy makes, which is really bad.
  6. Never tried Vegemite. I think both get vile reviews. Apparently Marmite has a strong umami taste. I may rescue the jar and use it for stews when winter rolls around.
  7. We renovated our bathroom last year and made the shower larger. Shower head points down so the water doesn’t spray over some parts of the shower. Wife (coming out of shower): Can you look at the drain? It smells like pee. I think the pee smell is coming from the drain. Me: Did you pee in the shower? Her: Yeah. Why? Me: Your pee probably splashed and didn’t get washed down the drain. Do you remember what you did? Her: I don’t know. Can you just look at it? It smells bad in here! (I proceed to take the hand shower and spray down the entire shower. No more smell) Me: There, no more pee smell. You need to aim better next time.*** *TONE* *** is it even possible for women to aim?
  8. If you’ve never had marmite and butter on toast, you owe it to yourself to never try it. i had it as a kid living in South Africa and thought it was pretty good. 45 years later and ugh… waste of $6, straight into the trash.
  9. aka Mrs. Superhero from 2003 thru 2006.
  10. Scrubbing down with a loofah every once in a while is awesome. I made smash burgers for dinner, and every part of my body felt greasy. Scrubbing off the grit and dead skin makes me want to touch myself.
  11. The part about gas station food is on point. It’s either that or eating off the roach coach. Brings back memories of when I was a field engineer.
  12. I live in a small gated community with 88 (Not that exclusive. It was to keep the coyotes out when the neighborhood was first built). The streets are 1/4 mile AT MOST, and some people will still speed around the corners. Also... people who speed through parking lots. I mean WTF.
  13. 4+ years ago, I got rid of my pedal board and got a Boss ME-80 multi-effects pedal. Most effects are tolerable, but I can't get a good overdrive sound. I'm probably going back on Reverb to buy back my TS-10 or get a JHS Bonsai pedal. [Edit] Holy cow. TS-10 prices are stupid. Someone on Reverb is selling for $250. Guitar Center (lol) is selling one for $450.
  14. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/newsom-make-announcement-redistricting-after-threatening-end-trumps/story?id=124651447 Fuck the GOP
  15. Hope someone wasn't counting on a 2 day delivery.
  16. The daughter has crazy mood swings. She'll go from shy and sweet to drawings dead parents on her bedroom wall. She's a year younger than my boy, really pretty, and our families are close. We thought it would be cute if the kids could get together in the future, but now... no thank you.
  17. Once again... on my commute to work, 2 lanes merge into 1. Normal people with logic, decency and common courtesy know the right move is to "zipper". My blinkers are on for 30 seconds and my SUV is already moving left. The driver in the Lexus speeds up trying to cut me off. Fuck you bitch. My SUV is bigger than yours. And this is a company car, I don't give a shit even if you hit me. It just means I get a new car earlier.
  18. Here's what it's gonna look in life size.
  19. We have friends who LOOOOOVE cruises. Mainly because there's free childcare. Don't blame them thought. Their 9 YO is emotionally unstable, and the 6 YO is secretly snorting Colombian marching powder, because he never runs out of energy. These friends also drop their kids off at their gym's kinder care room, and go get dinner before coming back to get their kids.
  20. Dial is a bit busy, but damn... that's (the Speedmaster) a good looking watch.
  21. Peeing into the ocean while you're swimming takes a conscious effort to let your bladder go.
  22. I appreciate people wearing earphones so not to bother others, but I don't understand hiking with big noise cancelling headphones. Yes I know noise cancelling mainly reduces droning noises, and doesn't cancel out voices and such, but if I'm riding up behind you and yelling at you to move over and you're oblivious, then I have a big problem with that.
  23. There's a reason they say you should only keep the teeth whitening strips on for 30 minutes. I put them on last night, put my invisalign retainer on it, and went on to play video games for the next 90 minutes. The teeth are noticeably whiter, but they feel like they're gonna fall out if I bite into an apple.
