  1. Something something Mother Tucker something. I'll keep workshopping it...
  2. Tremendous need to be easily drunk in Lincoln Nebraska
  3. You know what I got for Christmas this year? It was a banner f***in' year at the old NWBuck family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said "Hey. Smoke up Johnny." Seriously... I asked the family to not buy anything for me; we have enough 'stuff' and there are lots of opportunities to spend money on people who are in need instead. So my (art student) daughter made me a painting, and the youngest wrote me a letter. The wife purchased tickets for us for a concert... that's on Super Bowl Sunday. Ah well...
  4. Certainly makes an afternoon of skeet shooting a lot more interesting
  5. Two thoughts... She can hear you while she's watching porn? That's an invitation, broseph. She didn't say that she can hear the porn you're watching, so I'm considering the possibility that she's concerned about your friction burns.
  6. Sure, but they lose a lot of points for Sebastian
  7. Yeah, this is fun... (2 minutes in if you want to jump to the smoke)
  8. Didn't realize my Christmas with Anne Hathaway was caught on film. Damn Paparazzi.

    Well, yours is bad, mother fucker.
  10. I'll wave next time I head up to Lake Serene or Wallace Falls or Colchuck or... It's a gorgeous area. We're actually Vrbo-ing in Gold Bar after Christmas
  11. "The olfactory strife in Fife"?
  12. Looks like someone on reddit calculated his bonus to be between $20k (expected) and $24k (realized after the kidnapping)
  13. I love Tacoma, and would live there if I didn't work in Seattle. Although, with the light rail expansion, some of that will be mitigated. Wife lived in the Hilltop area near Stadium high school (10 Things I Hate About You) before we got married. The Stadium District has really developed... Food, pubs, coffee shops; and downtown has a great vibe with all the museums (near the UW extension). There's an area just beyond the Stadium District called the North End that has some great older houses overlooking the Sound. And a bit further north is Point Defiance, a huge park with great hiking trails, a replica fort/settlement, and a pretty cool zoo. Another nice area is University Place, right near the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. If you are OK commuting and want to be away from the urban core, Gig Harbor is just across the bridge. Let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.

    DL Primary CC Costco Card Health Ins Card Bank Card Work ID Chalmer's Big and Tall card. (It's a seven outlet chain here in the pacific northwest. They've got great stuff, but does me no good elsewhere)
  15. GREAT movie... Some of my kin were at Blair Mountain. First known case of the Air Force (Army Air Corps) dropping a bomb on US citizens on US soil. May have been the genesis of the word "redneck" as well, since the armed labor forces wore red bandanas to delineate themselves.
  16. I need to go to the eye doctor, I guess, since I can't see the pictures you've surely surly posted.

    Manufactured combination of elastic webbing... no problems for about 10 years or so now. Buddy of mine that's a mohel has a leather working hobby. He's got a wallet that turns into a suitcase when you rub it.
  18. According to FIL, there wasn't a discussion about "how", just "who". I guess George had some extra explosives from a previous project, and did some sort of calculation about "x amount blows up a stump, so 100x amount should take care of things".
  19. Right there with you... with the new LED projection bulbs, they're brighter at the start as well. When I walk the Wonder Dog in the neighborhood (very wooded, no streetlights), I appreciate people actually using their headlights to avoid hitting us (even with the dog's light up collar, it always feels like a 50/50 bet). But the bright lights are the worst... My solution is an EDC flashlight with "turbo" mode that I can flash for a second before returning to "walking the dog" brightness. Most folks get the drift and drop their lights (or the lights auto-correct as if it were another vehicle)... and if they don't, I can always switch to "strobe" mode (not directed towards their vehicle, just as a visual reminder that there are other people out here).
  20. I'm not gripping them/between them?
  21. The current version of Cindy Lou Who (or the actress) could totally get it...
  22. I've mentioned this before... My father in law worked at ODOT when this happened. The guy responsible for the 'removal' was literally the guy who was absent the day they discussed the problem. Great place for a picnic now though... They really should have a sushi place nearby.
