    There's a lot of guys out there with ex-wives, I'm sure we can get a good list going pretty quickly.

    If Chandler had been kicking a football, it would've been good from 60. Holy fuck.

    I have been monitoring the status on a car that's been "In Transit" since early February (2022 VW GTI). I had called the dealer when I first saw it online, then followed up about every 3-4 weeks via text. Last weekend, I saw they had a very similar used model, so I decided to go up there and look at it. I get there (unannounced BTW) and they guy said that car sold last night but he had the one that I've been waiting for, it had just come in the day before. Test drove it and made the deal. From my arrival to leaving with the car, I was there for 2 hours. One of the quickest car deals I've ever made. Most of the time was spent waiting for the papers to print. They offered 30.5k for my trade, I asked for 32.5k, we settled on 31.5k, which was right at what Carvana, Carmax and Vroom had offered me. I'm pleased with the deal.

    I ordered some stuff online from two different vendors (neither amazon), both told me my items would arrive within 2-3 days, which was incredibly quick, IMO. Nothing has showed up yet and everything has been pushed back. Why over-promise and under-deliver? If they had told me it would take 10 days to get my stuff, that's fine. I didn't ask for 2 day shipping. But if you tell me it'll be here in 2 days and now it's been a week and it still ain't here, I'm irritated.

    Traded in my 2016 F150 for a '22 VW GTI. It has plenty of room for my tall ass and much better fuel economy. So much more room in my garage now as well.

    I've been talking to this dealership, they don't have the car I want right now. I test drove a similar one and said to let me know when they get one spec'd out the way I want. The boss (whom I've never met) starts texting me to come see a bunch of shit I don't want. I told him what I'm looking for and to let me know when they get one. Fast forward 2 months, I decide to check the local dealers and I see a car on their website that meets my needs. And I know it's not "in transit" because there's pictures of it at the dealership. I call to set up a test drive for that afternoon, they said cool. 5 mins later, that boss texts me to say the car is already sold. Then he tries to sell me another car that I don't want. If that prick had called or texted me when that car came in, we would've already had a deal done. Fuck that place, I'll do business elsewhere.

    I used to drive for a living. I take any opportunity to sit in the passenger seat and stare out the window or just doze off. It's like a chef cooking all day and then wanting to go home and cook a big dinner. Fuck that noise.

    When you're eating something that really hits the spot, like a cookie or brownie, and you're almost finished with it and that last little piece breaks off and falls on the ground when you take a bite.

    This is the expression of every chick that got pissed off when you accidently got some jizz on her face/hand/leg. Like you committed a war crime or something. That's my ex-wife's tribe, so I'll pass.

    If this were true, I'd have been a cripple by age 14. Besides, this is my left arm and I'm a righty. I don't even do The Stranger, so my southpaw should be as pure as virgin snow.

    My tennis elbow flared up something fierce last week. I have a sleeve I wear for a couple of hours when it gets bad but I've had to wear the thing for the entire day this past week. Knock on wood, I haven't needed it today. It makes me extra ragey because I haven't played tennis in 25 years. Come up with a better name, docs.

    We're going on vacation to Europe this fall. My wife said she wants to put one of those Tile trackers in her luggage to "Keep track of it in case it gets lost on the way over". I said if your luggage is lost by the airline and you track it and it turns out your bag is in New Jersey instead of London, how does that help you? I don't know if she thought she could turn over the data to an airline detective or what. No tone, she just sulked for a minute.

    In 1993, the Marine Corps basic training that I was given stressed that "Jody got my girl". Also, we got bent a lot.

    I have two of these, can confirm.

    I read a great quote from Michael Caine, from when he was asked about Jaws 3D: "I've never actually seen it. But I have seen the house it built and it's fantastic!".

    It's a real shame that the 2001 Miami team that had like 100 NFL guys on it never had a practice that good.

    Yeah but the other guys don't have shit to sell, either. I literally can't walk onto a lot and buy a car that I want. Nothing is in stock, they're delayed until God knows when. And every dealer that has something available is charging 5-10k mark up on top.

    I'm working from home this week and my coworker just texted this to me: "Just went in the bathroom and the mailman had his pants down, washing his ass in the sink" So go ahead and put that mailman on the board.

    I remember those days. Then they go from "I want to go where you go and do what you do!" to "I cannot be seen in public with you, nor do I wish to speak to you about anything." almost overnight. I had girls, though. Maybe they're just wired different.

    Growing up in Germany, the winter months meant walking to school in the dark and walking home from school in the dark. Crazy shit but I loved it over there.

    I don't drink alcohol. I never have. No religious hang-ups or drunks in my family, I just don't like it. I cannot count the number of people that, when I informed them of this fact, reacted like I had stated that I don't breathe oxygen. They would get borderline offended and try to get me to drink all kinds of shit. These people are just like the "You're not having kids???" crowd. I have never understood why so many people want to die on a hill that has no bearing on their own lives whatsoever. If a couple wants to be childfree, who gives a shit? I guess I can understand a parent that longs to be a grandparent but I don't get the busybody at work or a so-called friend that busts your chops about not having a kid.

    Wife made an appointment at the dealer to have some warranty work done on her car, the appointment was for this morning, whenever they open. She told me, "I'm going up there to drop off my car and my mom is going to pick me up and take me to work". I offered to pick her up but I have to be at work by 8 and she goes in at 9-930 and she hates getting up when I do, so she asked her mom to drive her. Whatever, that's fine. As I'm showering this morning, she sticks her head in the door and says "Ok, I'm heading to the dealer now, just come get me as soon as you're ready". I said WTF, I thought your mom was taking you? She said "Well you offered the other day". Thanks for the heads up, Hon.

    I was 28 when my twins were born. I remember nothing from those first 3-4 months. Having 2 infants sucked so much, but then it got better whan they coud talk and communicate what they wanted/needed. Then it sucked again when they became moody middle-schoolers. Now they're 20 and it's so great. We talk about school, work, friends, how much of a trainwreck their mother is. So much fun. But I'd be lying if I said that I never had moments of doubt, if there were never times where I tried to calculate how much money I'd have saved if I never had kids. Or what kind of fun shit I could've done instead of have kids. I don't think that makes me a bad parent, I do that hindsight shit with everything. Just be honest with yourself and each other. Neither choice you make will be wrong.

    As an IU fan, I have no complaints. We won 2 games in the B10 tourney and lost on a banked in prayer. Going to the dance for the first time in 6 years, thank God and thank Woody.
