  1. Depends on the funeral. All the classier type elders in my family have passed except my in laws, and they’re as low key as they come. MIL is donating her body to science, and FIL is going to be cremated, so there will probably be a celebration of life dealio at their church and a suit wouldn’t be required or expected. Anyone else I know it’ll be business casual looking stuff. If my wife or kid dies I’d probably get an off the rack suit though, then donate it ASAP afterwards.
  2. Not superior, just not for me. I’m not anti tattoo, just anti shitty tattoo. I saw a pretty girl in Wal Mart the other day with no crappily drawn tattoo and I thought she was standing out from the crowd because of it. Then she reached up for a box of something and there it was!
  3. Or get confessions out of people!

    Cart Narcs

    Well that’s specific, but probably true.
  5. Other than around the 4th and New Years fireworks trash is the occasional nuisance . Balled up shitty diapers (baby thankfully) left behind are pretty much daily. There are a couple of old ladies that hit the beach close to daybreak in their golf carts and spend a couple of hours every day picking up trash. God bless them!!
  6. I also haven’t owned a suit for 15 years or so, just can’t see a scenario where I’d need another one. I do still have my Marine Blues and my Army ASU hanging way in the back of the closet for some reason. Don’t know why, my kid couldn’t care less about them and I don’t blame her, and at this point I could probably sew the two together and it might come close to fitting.
  7. You still get robocalls on a landline? Actually saw an ad online the other day for a service where you get an old looking rotary phone and a landline’s included. It’s somehow hip.
  8. Couldn’t find a thread. Saw this on the news this morning, apparently this has been around a couple of years. They call it pro, but I can’t imagine the players even make back gas money. If this somehow takes off it looks like 300 lb linemen types are going to be SOL. This is a very fast game. https://www.affl.com/
  9. No ordinance against it here as we’re in an unincorporated part of the county. Even during burn bans it’s ok to set stuff off, because sand won’t burn I suppose. (Thermonuclear weapons the exception)So we get people coming to the beach year round setting off fireworks on random nights. Sometimes I sleep through it and only find out by all the Facebook posts on neighborhood pages from women complaining for the 6th time about their little dogs being freaked out, only to be told once again that it’s not illegal and either get used to it or move. And of course all the fireworks trash people have no issue driving away from being left on the beach.
  10. Houston news had a story this morning about the opening of a 90’s themed cafe/restaurant (Sugarland I believe). Reporter was visiting and it was a strip mall looking building with some random 90’s looking junk on the walls and food dishes and drinks loosely associated or at least named after things from that time. Seems like there’s least a couple of different segments about these different types of theme joint bars or restaurants a week. Do these people know these places are going to fail as soon as the novelty wears off shortly and just open another short life cafe or bar somewhere else, or is this an all eggs in one basket dream of these families that has a forgone conclusion they just can’t see?
  11. I love the old movies. Watching one this afternoon with Lauren Bacall. I don’t get it with her, just my opinion but she’s just kind of attractive and has the emotional acting range of a stick. She made one great and three decent movies with Humphrey Bogart, but he was the reason they were good. Why’s she so revered as an actress? Pretty sure the only reason she got jobs and was a star was because she was banging Bogart.
  12. Something being smarter than me is no great achievement.
  13. Minnesota /Oklahoma. My spelling wasn’t exactly Scripps worthy with that one.
  14. After five straight days and nights of 4th of July weekend here at the beach I’m not doing a gat dang thing today. I’m sitting my ass on this couch in the A/C and enjoying the relative peace and quiet. Might bring the trash cans back from the street after they’re picked up, might not.
  15. And he isn’t interested in a single one of them. Weird!
  16. Nor do I. Do what you want, but I don’t understand why people who are into different style trends every few years would want to be stuck with one forever.
  17. Party over the weekend at a neighbors bay house. I’ve known the family for 30 years. Grandpa owned a concrete construction company, worked like a young man 6 days a week into his late 70’s. Finally gets too blind to work and hands the company to his son who’d worked for him all his life and knew the business like the back of his hand. Poor dude (son) drowns while wade fishing about 15-17 years ago. When his son reaches 18 he inherits many millions of bucks, he’s probably a little over 30 now. Had to listen to this douche talk down about two of our other neighbors for not having the shit he takes for granted. Laughed out loud at their substandard poor people stuff. Guy’s never held a job or even worked a day in his life! And he’s teaching his kids to be entitled little shits too.
  18. I don’t usually frequent these places when I’m near a city, but I’d take a kick in the nuts to have any of these in the shithole town closest to me!
