Had a solid Savory Steak Pie at Quiznos for lunch today

Really? It was sealed all the way around the perimeter?

 

[shuke]

my dad just emailed this to me. no reason why http://artofmanliness.com/2012/07/09/how-shuffle-a-deck-of-cards-an-illustrated-guide/

Because you suck at shuffling and he's felt like a failure for a long time because of it?

My daughter has watched Home Alone twice in the past week and every time she takes a drink of something, she makes a joke about Fuller wetting the bed

You tell her that I haven't peed the bed in years

 

[phishphan]

My daughter has watched Home Alone twice in the past week and every time she takes a drink of something, she makes a joke about Fuller wetting the bed

A few years back, I would sometimes quote Fuller's posts with "Go easy on the Pepsi!"After a few times, he PM'd me asking what was up....I had to tell him it was a line from Home Alone. I had forgotten about it when I met him down here in NOLA...it would've been a good laugh to bring up

every time I was thinking "WTF is that supposed to mean?!?"

 

[Frostillicus]

Tomorrow I get to tell my boss I've accepted a job with a direct competitor. This should be a great day.

I got really sick and tired of you all making fun of me for being so pale, so on Saturday, I worked in my backyard all day long absent a shirt. I also felt like sunblock was inhibiting my progress, so I went no protection for the bulk of the afternoon. I added some sunscreen later, but I suppose I missed a few areas.

Your words are hurtful, people. Not as hurtful as this sunburn, but hurtful.

How did you manage to only get one handprint of sunblock on your back?? Sunday we went to the beach and my neck is now a matching color to yours. Luckily the waves were too big for a 4 year old to swim in so I never took off my shirt, otherwise I would have a matching cape.

 

[General Malaise]

I cranked it both days and it got the place cooled down, but it just runs continuously and I'm not sure that's what I want, is it? I have a tech coming out next week to service it. We're also having the ducts cleaned out. Getting there one step at a time.

The outside unit is running the whole time or the air inside is blowing the whole time? Do you have the thermostat on "ON" or "AUTO"?

No, the outside unit wasn't constantly going because I switched it from "ON" to something else. I have no idea how to program this thing or put it on auto, but the air inside was blowing constantly and that cannot be good, right? I was trying to cool the house down from 80 to 76....seemed to sit on 77 most of the afternoon and that's when I got nervous and shut it off.I have no idea what I'm doing. I'll wait to talk to the tech before trying it out again. I'm a moron.Oh, I borrowed my neighbor's electric chainsaw and thought I broke it. Twice. He fixed it, but panic set in twice.

My wife left for the afternoon. When she leaves, stupidity tends to follow. I'm not sure what's worse right now, the pain or the itching.

Not gonna Hipple here. But seeing Marvin call out somebody on their ride is hysterical, seeing that he's still rocking the Conestoga he used to escape the Donner party.

Ouch. Boy did I get burned.

I'll bet you and Fish have driven a Miata. It's like driving a Porsche, but costs 1/3 - 1/5 as much. It's a sports car.

Yeah, I drove one--it was my sister-in-law's.

Some thermostats have a "fan" setting separate from the "heat/cool" setting. So you can have the fan run constantly ("ON"), or only when the heat/cool is going ("AUTO"). Sounds like you had it set "ON", which can give you some air circulation even when the A/C unit isn't running.As long as the A/C unit itself was cycling on and off (and it wasn't doing so in really short cycles), you shouldn't be hurting anything by running it.

If the outside unit wasn't running the entire time then probably just the fan was blowing the entire time. Not necessarily bad, we keep the fan on during the summer to keep the air moving even when the AC isn't running.However, what doesn't make sense is that the thermostat hadn't reached your set temp yet and the outside unit wasn't running.

My HVAC drip line got clogged two weeks ago. Used the shop vac on both sides of the line to completely clear it out. The sensor shut the system down as designed. Freaked the #### out of me at first until I consulted the innerwebs.

I'll bet you and Fish have never driven a Miata. It's like driving a Porsche, but costs 1/3 - 1/5 as much. It's a sports car.

Right. A girly sports car.

Cretins. I'm sure you're all driving muscle cars. Oh wait, you ride bikes. Talk about gay.

Driving a Miata is an indefensible position.

Yeah, I don't know why she stays with me either...

Wife is making camera shaped cookies for a client that is a photographer. She was putting the finishing touches (text) on two dozen cookies.

Her: Canon is spelled with only one N, right?

Me: (about 15 feet away, in the other room): No, it has two N's.

Her: What!?! Seriously?

Me: Yep, Canon has two N's in it.

Her: Oh ####! Really? I just screwed up about 8 cookies!

Me: Hmmm...let me see.

Her: I can't believe this. I don't think I can fix these! I don't have time to remake these!

Me: (now looking at the cookies with "Canon" on them): They're fine.

Her: What!?! You said it had TWO N'S in it!

Me: It does...C-A-N-O-N...that's TWO N's.

Her: You son of a #####! You know what I meant.

Me: Yeah, but this was much more fun.

And no one has yet been able to explain to me how Jettas are more "girly" than most other 4 door sedans.

Back when Jettas first came out, especially the cabriolets, they were hugely popular with HS and college girls. I did know a guy that had a cabriolet but he smoked the bone.

Friend of mine in college had a girlfriend who drove a red Cabriolet. One summer day, his car wasn't working so we took his girlfriend's car to the liquor store with the top down. About 3 blocks into it, I realized just how gay we must look and slumped down as low as possible for the rest of the trip.

My best friend in HS inherited his sister's white VW Cabriolet and I always felt uncomfortable driving around in it, especially with the tops down. Just found out in Feb when I went back to Dallas that my buddy came out of the closet. SURPRISE!

I'll stop Hippling now

I sure hope Rude is able to find some shade and relief from this oppressive heat in the Pac NW. Stay cool, GB. Sorry about the record high temps upon your arrival.

was crazy driving in on Saturday as the temps hit 100 just about 2 hours east of Seattle, but then it dropped down to about 75 or 80 by the time we pulled into the city.I'm loving it here so far. We're really in a great spot. Going to be tough to pack up and leave in December.

Wait until the rain comes in November and you'll be in a different state of mind.

I figured that would be the downside here. Also traffic seems to suck, but working from home allows me to avoid that.I can't imagine winters in Chicago are going to be much better than the rainy season here though.

 

[Drifter]

So, with Rude here now anybody up for a Saturday BBQ/in West Seattle in the next weekend or two? Maybe play some cards while we're at it?

You actually get used to the rain pretty quickly.There are some tips I can give you around navigating the city from West Seattle that will help. Traffic will still suck but you can make it a bit better.

Yeah, traffic is teh suck. Working from home is . With the weather like this, I imagine the scenery on the beach must be splenid, though you come from a city that has no shortage of hot tail when the sun comes out. NW girls are a bit of an acquired taste.I don't mind the rain at all. Give me 40 degrees and drizzle over brutal cold and fierce wind any day of the week. You don't have to shovel rain.
