  1. Kinda depends on when you get to the office. If you get in at 7, then yeah, 3PM sounds about right. I get in around 8, and am usually ready for a drink around 4PM if it wasn't so frowned upon by my boss. OTOH, Friday 3:30PM, the ice bucket is filled and the bottles come out.
  2. My neighbor got a quote from Anderson for $85K to replace their windows. We have the same house / layout and replaced ours with shitty Simonton windows for $21K.
  3. Went out to a country western themed restaurant for our anniversary dinner. My wife wanted me to learn how to 2-step and line dance. It seemed like a lot of the songs had their own dance. Why? Also, quite a few MILFs on the dance floor. No pics because wife was next to me the entire night.
  4. You come across as a petty asshole and fit right in here.
  5. How has this song not been brought up already?
  6. Dodge RAM, Charger, Challenger Durango. Actually any Dodge.
  7. 15 bullets, 50+ people. Chance of getting hit is < 30%. Let's go!
  8. Parents took a shitty photo last night so I can't see the condition. But they didn't wear these for long before they put them away. They still have the box and papers.
  9. What do you do that you need to work 2 or 3 back-to-back 12 hour shifts?!?! Aren't you a zombie even after 1 shift? Or does the company provide Monster energy drinks, meth and cocaine in the break room?
  10. If I had to pick, 2,1,3. But if I had $1.5M, I'd disappoint all 3 at the same time.
  11. My cousin and his family moved back into town a few weeks ago. He grew up in the OC but moved to China 10+ years ago for work. Now he’s back. He’s not the most responsible person and I wonder how they’re getting by since him and his wife don’t have jobs at the moment. But he’s always fun to be around and the glue of the family. If I die of alcohol poisoning in the next few years, it will because of him.
  12. Random video I saw yesterday led me down this guy's youtube channel. I liked these 2 videos since he copies the style of shredders playing over a few well known songs. I'm not familiar with all the shredders, but he got Zakk Wylde, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai down.
  13. I hope you know I wasn’t being serious.
  14. My parents bought a matching set of quartz Tudor watches back in the mid 90s. They wore them for a bit, but decided they were too nice for everyday wear, so they got Seikos that look like Datejusts. They never wore their Tudors again. Other than Chrono24, are there other sites where I can list them? I don't expect to get much, but something is better than nothing with them sitting around collecting dust.
  15. Looks like a booking fee. https://www.urvenue.com/ Looking online at the alcohol, they basically basically paid ~3,000% markup above retail. Someone's gotta take a second mortgage on their condo to pay that bill.

    Or you can use your phone to zoom in on the bible. On a few occasions when my coworkers go to steakhouses (they all seem to be poorly lit), we all break out our phones for the flashlight and/or video camera to see the menu. You'd think that people who can afford $100+/person meals would be of the older persuasion who would appreciate a little more light and menus with bigger fonts.
  17. Where did the woman come from? And where did the little white car go? Holy shit indeed. We take an annual ski trip and the lift always scares me a bit. Too many times it takes an uncomfortably large bump. And too many times the lift just stops for a few to 15 minutes.

    Also. My eyes are getting worse with age. I've been wearing glasses for 40 years for nearsightedness. The optometrist added 2.0 at the bottom of the lens for reading. I find myself raising my eyes to look at the computer screen because the text is too small, and I lose too much real estate if I increase the size of the font. Time to go get my eyes checked again.
  19. 16 years? How many guitars are you gonna buy with that money? Even if you didn’t sell, the stock price is still rising faster than any of the other stocks I bought for my kids. Up 20% in just 2 months.
  20. Felling trees is for the professionals. My aunt had a mismanaged tree on her property. Instead of hiring professionals, she asked her landscaper to take it down. The landscaper brought his brother and 15 YO son to help. No PPE, no training, the wrong tools, lots of machismo. Well, the son stood under the tree and got hit by a falling branch. A week and 3 surgeries later, he died.

    Ordered one of these from Amazon. It's supposed to be a nose hair trimmer. It looks like a tiny comb with a razor blade, but can't be sure until I get it.
  22. Especially disgusting If you think they used corncobs to wipe their butt.
