[Sammy3469]

Pretty sure my day was just made with the NYTimes linking Jeter to the guy at the center of the Peyton Manning doping ring.

Well...I take that back...I'm more pleased my MIL will never take me to get snipped.

I tried. God said he doesn't waste his time on such small matter(s).

 

[ffjunk]

have had my CO2 detector "chirp" the last 2 weeks. unit is 15 years old, so I believe it has outlived its' shelf life. bought a new one and will install (i.e. plug in) tonight, if I don't post tomorrow, please refer to my T & P post, since I likely died in my sleep.

CO (Monoxide) and it did outlive it's shelf life. New one will only last 7 years. I see this all the time at work.

Yikes. Why do you guys have so many CO detectors at your office?

How many vodka/soda is acceptable on a flight from LA to Austin. Asking for a friend.

0.01 thousand units.

If you can keep track of how many you've had, keep drinking. If you can't stop. Works well for me.

3 or 4 seems reasonable

My grandfather had a car whose ignition got screwed up to the point you could just turn the ignition without a key and it would start. So he disassembed it and hooked it up to the cigarette lighter so that you started the car by pushing in the cigarette lighter.

Pretty ingenious as no car thief would think of that.

4 seemed to be the right answer

Pro: didn't make it to Scouts tonight.

Con: because some, part, or all of my CRV's transmission is scattered along the first 75% of the trip there.

Pro: At least now I'm not as worried about the yet to be received bill for my wife's gall bladder surgery.

Con: she made me go to some dumb family get-together on New Year's Day where you are supposed to eat some nasty "prosperity" sauerkraut or something. FIrst bite of sauerkraut I've ever taken. NOT WORKING. Also: Do Not Like.

Don't work in an office. I see them on calls when I go out in the big red shiny truck with all the lights and sirens. No bell.

Yeah, not a good couple of weeks. At least my NFL team's playoff hopes don't rest on the shoulders of a nine-fingered ginger. Oh wait....

Mom: Get your Powerball lottery ticket today

Me: meh

Mom: Listen to Your mother do it

Me: Fine but I'm picking my own numbers

1 2 3 4 5 and 6

Mom: Why do you have to be so difficult then buy another one easy pic

Me: well see

I only wish it were a group text

That's actually a terrible set of numbers to pick. I get that it has the same chance of coming up as any other set of numbers, but if it did come up then you would share the prize with anyone else who picked the same numbers, and the odds that someone else picked the same numbers are not random. It's the same reason you shouldn't pick 4 8 15 16 23 42 - the numbers from lost - and why picking birthdays is a little worse than picking some collection of numbers higher than 31.

How many times have you won this lottery, professor?

I think it's the remix. He sings about taking his key and sticking it in the ignition. I think it's an innuendo for something dirty.

Wife just texted me she's making oven fried chicken tonight.

Me: wouldn't that be baked chicken

Wife: not if its breaded

Me:

 

[Annyong]

At least she's cooking something.

There's a guy wearing jeans on the treadmill today.

And then Tanner got all mad and purposely ruined the thread.

Valid point...there are a lot of useless wives out there

Oh and you should pop into that Playoff Football Contest thread and claim to be Donald Melton Jr or some name like that

 

[El Floppo]

I'm wrapping up a project I've been working on for the last year and a half for a young couple (daughter of one of the richer guys in NYC).

just found out today the couple is getting divorced, so we likely won't finish it out to the usual ultra-luxe level that looks good in pictures; they'll probably sell, and the new buyer will probably rip out everything we've just put in (2.5mil worth of build-out).

so basically a year and half with nothing to show for my portfolio. I guess better than the usual year+ and then having the client decide not to build at all.

welcome, 2016... you seem swell.

Yeah, not really feeling the 2016 love here either. From sick kids to stock market woes to massive redemptions in the portfolio, it's feeling a lot like 2015 without any lube.

 

[Chemical X]

made a pretty nice deconstructed red sauce for you fat tubs of goo.....

olive oil, medium heat, 1/4-1/2 onion diced, keith sweat the onions for a bit, add clove of garlic, then some dried basil & oregano. then about 8 oz of cherry tomatoes halved. 1-2 cups chicken stock, bring to boil, then simmer 1/2 hour.

add to oven fried chicken.

Sorry ...this is meaningless to those that didn't grow up in the 60s-early 70s.
