GM's thread about nothing (21 Viewers)

It's insane that you can't get just a set of standard Legos anywhere but online or in a Lego Store. Also insane how expensive those stupid things are. Their profit margin has to be ludicrous,

regular stores here in NYC usually have a big box o' legos available.

It's weird. I looked at Target, Walmart, Sears and Toys R Us and none of them had just a box of regular Legos. I guess free form creativity is just a Big City thing now.

I meant to thank those of you that wished me well the other day. It means a lot to me because I'm freaking the #### out about life right now. I just got back from two hours of Christmas carols at the boys school and I really enjoyed it. That should tell you something. Of course part of that could be because there are about a dozen teachers and the assistant principal that I would like to grease up with Crisco and play "last pieces of bacon in a zip-lock bag."

I love you.

Bob's bacon comment reminded me of something the wife said the other day. Not really sure why but...

So we're at the grocery store and we head over to the ice cream/frozen dessert section. There's another couple at the freezer right at the door we want to get in. The male half of the couple was desperately searching for some very specific brand/type/flavor of gellato or some such crap. He was having a hell of a time finding just the right one. He's standing on his tip-toes with his entire arm, up to the armpit, in the freezer and he's pulling out one container at a time "nope, that's not it...wait...nope...that's not it...dang, there has to be one back here". Both he and his wife are oblivious to the fact that the wife and I are waiting for them.

After a couple of minutes we give up and figure we'll just come back later when Admiral Peary completes his quest. The wife says "I just wanted some ice cream. I didn't know I was going to have to spend 5 minutes watching that guy fist-#### the dessert section."

Sounds like you're the wrong demographic for where you live. Have you considered moving somewhere that merchants carried the provisions you want to acquire?

Am I the only guy in the FFA that loves to ride motorcycles?

Nope, motorcycle rider here. There does happen to be a rarely used motorcycle thread in the FFA though...

Cos, don't you drive a Subaru too, or am I making that up? Anyway, if I'm right, you're like 98% of the way to being a lesbian there.

fisting?

 

[-fish-]

had some noob idiot actually modify a glenmorangie 18 with 1 cube of sugar. cause what else could one cube possibly be?

one ice cube.

Really?

If I'm drinking good bourbon at a bar I order it with one ice cube every time. I don't do it with scotch, but just a splash of water opens up the flavor. The slight chill is also a plus.

jesus fish. We were making fun of ####### in the bar business. I know how to drink scotch

so someone actually did put a sugar cube in 18 year old scotch?

I've never understood people who get a sandwich with a pickle on the side and don't eat the pickle. I bet there's a ton of pickle waste in this country.

If a pickle is anywhere near my wife's sandwich, she won't eat it.

maybe might not be any euphemisms in there.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Also saving the pickle until the end is the only acceptable order of operations

I disagree. I take bites throughout my meal when I want a change of pace.

Hopefully you'll see the light one day

I devour the pickle as soon I eye it.

Team Norwood.

A pickle is a sandwich accessory. Not a sandwich dessert.

pickle is the best part. eat it whenever you want, but don't let it go to waste.

Right? I mean, it's like a pound of molded plastic. And it's not even like they have super expensive licensing issues with the regular ones. Such a ripoff.

Walmart had that on sale for like $40 around BF though. Didn't realize then that the only options were shipping it to your house or to the store for pickup. Figured they actually had them in the store to buy too. So stupid.

Also, I just took an entire carload of old toys to Goodwill, threw away a bunch more and have another load ready to donate. My wife buys WAY too much crap for our daughter. Wife grew up without much and overcompensates now. Of course little GD plays with maybe 5% of the stuff she has.

When Mrs. GD gets home it's going to be like WW3 when she realizes how much stuff I got rid of. Fun.

I'm in the same boat. Would love to save more money, but it's not worth the argument most times.

I've studied this issue and recently bought a pair of JayBirds Bluebuds X based upon online recommendations but I haven't gotten them yet to have a review.

 

[bentley]

Today's 8 hour discussion on housing affordability was pretty tough. But I did manage to set up a wine tasting, brewery tour and trip to the gun range with various people all in the name of community leadership. Next month's topic is diversity and inclusion. I may have to be sick that day.

I have not bought one single Xmas present so far. Pretty sure I only have to buy two between now and the 24th. Something for my mom and something for my niece's kid.
