@shuke my friend's son is looking at likely losing parts or most of both hands. what sort of prosthetic training & rehab are we talking here?

Damn that's horrible.  Sorry, I don't know much about prosthetics.

There are way too many humorless joyless people in the world. If I couldn't laugh, especially at myself, or see the fun in things, I would go crazy.

I do love a good ####show

speaking of I had the annual golf outing on Saturday...wasn’t as much of a debacle as last year but at one point I wanted a “to go” beer as we were leaving the course to go to the bar for the dinner (buddies wife drives us) so I told someone to order me a beer.  Was expecting a can that I could put into my inconspicuous yeti coozie but got a pint instead so I downed half of it and dumped the rest into my coozie and a good amount on the floor

also staring to feel old, went hard from 2-10 or so but ended up crashing at my buddies while him and his wife and their other friend ubered up to another bar

Yet another day where it's hotter in Austin than in Vegas. In July. God is just messing with me now.

Are you guys doing a college fantasy football league this year? @Aaron Rudnicki

[Osaurus 9,262]

Mrs. O is in Phoenix hanging out at a resort.  I hope she’s enjoying the dry heat.  I made lemon bars.  The dog is not impressed.

sending my wife and daughter to maui tomorrow, spur of the moment, to visit the in laws.  my 12 year old daughter has been an awful brat all day.  not sure i get kids.  GM?

[belljr 11,347]

Driving home sunday with just me and my daughter.    We are hungry but close to home.  She says can I just get nuggets from McDonalds.

I say sure.   I can't tell you the last time I actually ate at a McDonalds.   Anyway, go through the drive thru.  I decide on the basic 2 cheeseburger meal.

Start to drive away and decide i'll eat one now. Luckily I did.

Both "Cheeseburgers"  were a pickle and slice a cheese and that's it.

I walk in and go in and the lady asks what is wrong.  She just stares blankly at me when I show her.       

How do you make 2 cheese sandwiches and not realize there is no "meat" on the sandwich

The front tires on my front-drive car are pretty bald, and it might be dangerous to drive for even two more months before trading it in in September as planned. It's also going to need new license tags and an inspection in August. I think I'm talking myself into buying a car this weekend.

My buddy has a 1 year old Silverado with some of the worst/cheapest OEM tires I have ever seen.  I was behind him in traffic the other day and gave him a pretty wide birth.  He thanked me later because things could have gone bad if he started fishtailing at the stop light.  Lol.

I think I'm pulling the trigger tomorrow or Thursday. Got a decent-length road trip this weekend and I'm getting skittish about my existing ride

This happened to me at 5 Guys several years ago.  Got it to go, got everybody their food, opened mine up, took a bite and realized the same thing.  Everything on there except the burger.  Drove back, showed the manager who said 'hey, we're human.' 

Haven't been back since.  Certainly don't miss getting screamed at when I walk in their door.

Above the bar there are 2 signs:

"Grilled Cheese Sandwich: $2"

and

"Handjobs: $10"

They completely forgot my kids burger once on a carryout order so i made a rant on Twitter and got $30 in gift cards in the mail

[Officer Pete Malloy 19,151]

One time I asked for extra ketchup at Burger Chef. They gave me like 2 ketchups.  

I went back and accused them of being racist. 

They went out of business the next year.

Amen

We had one before we had a McDonalds. I think it lasted 10-15 years. It was a run.

I've never heard of Burger Jeff.  I kind of miss 5 Guys, though.  The one here closed a couple of years ago.

Think I even remember how I got it: My dad was a high school band director at the time, and the band stopped at a Burger Chef on the way to a contest. Some of the high school kids gave me their coins.

Those treasures went into a coin collection that was about as pitiful as what you would expect from a 5 year old.

IF I still have any, they are in a cigar box in a tote full of whatever my mom packed up when I left for college that got dumped back on me when she moved into a condo.

My parents did that to me too.  Now I have to sell my comic books and baseball cards from when I was a kid.  They had been sitting in my parent's house for the past 30 years.
