  1. We went to the local grocery store to pick up a pre-made cake for my dad's birthday. It had a decoration on the left and there was a small section where you could use icing to write your own message. We take it home and she wants to do the "writing". I say fine, she asks what I want her to write. i tell her "Happy B-Day, Dad", exactly like that, with "B dash Day". She asks again, like I got marbles in my mouth or something. I say it again and I tell her "Exacty like I said, B-Day, there's not much room and that will fit easily". I leave the room.

    She comes in all proud, "Look, I was able to get the whole word "Birthday" on there!". It looks fine but I ask her (for the 5000+ time in the last 13 years), "Why ask what I want if you are just gonna ignore what I say?".  Tone. She does this all the time, "What should I say in this email?" or "What should I say to my sister about XYZ?". I tell her my opinion and she does the exact opposite. I keep saying I give up but she pulls me back in, like I'm some great value Michael Corleone.

    Paddy isn’t an unknown. But the rest, yeah probably. 

    I just looked up his IMDB, I had never heard of him. I've seen a couple of movies he's been in but I don't remember him at all. Matt Smith is the only person I recognize so far.

  3. I like to watch this youtube channel, the guy owns a leather company and he gets popular sneakers and boots and cuts them in half to show you what the quality is really like. He just did a Tony Lama vs Tecovas video, I found it interesting.

    If toning down the sex means more orgies on screen, then I guess I’m in.

    This was very good.

    I'm almost positive I saw a chick's butthole, so that's definitely two thumbs up for me. 

    On the down side, my wife's best friend died in chldbirth, along with her twins, so that part hit close to home and was hard to watch. 

  5. Whatever happened to all those softcore/T&A movies they used to play on Showtime and Cinemax? Whenever I'm on Netflix or Amazon and I see movies or shows that list "Nudity & sexual situations" on the ratings, it turns out to be a bunch of dicks or a guy's ass. Maybe I'm just in mourning for the lack of Shannon Tweed or Tanya Roberts in the cinema of today.

  6. I had this problem with a Samsung tv, the screen was going out due to a faulty part and they agreed to fix a bunch of them for free but not mine. They wanted me to request a Samsung tech to come out and look at it, at my own expense. After going back and forth with their support dorks on the phone and via email, I got fed up and hunted online till I found the email address to their CEO and gave him a piece of my mind. The next time I called, they said "Wait, are you the guy that emailed the CEO?", I said yeah. Then they told me that they would no longer allow one of their techs to come out and that I could go DIAF. I swore I'd never buy anything from Samsung again but my wife loves her Galaxy phones, so my efforts to deny Samsung my money are futile.

  7. Since I was working from home this week and need something to watch as I sit here, I decided to start this series. Never seen an episode before, going in pretty much blind. I've made it to S02E04 thus far. I get a laugh when I recognize some of these actors from other mob movies. Great stuff, looking forward to the rest of the series.

    Damn, she’s 39 or 40 in that photo too.

    I always thought she was sexy. Sad story about her life and this latest chapter. Wishing the best for her.

    Same, I always thought she was pretty hot. Looks like a rich man's Sandy Duncan.

    If his story isn't pretty near the entire truth, it's going to piss off some guys in that locker room (rightly so) and they're going to get the truth out.  My guess is that it's essentially the truth of what happened.  

    After thinking about it, the real story is probably much worse. As in, not an "accidentally read that word out loud" but more like he used it around the wrong guy. Remember Larry Cochelle, their old baseball coach?

    Would reading Huck Finn aloud result in the death penalty?

    You'd think it wouldn't be an issue in Norman, OK.

  11. Just now, Burt said:

    So people were trying to get her out of the car BEFORE she wrecked?  Why were they trying to get her out before the wreck?  Did they somehow know her impending doom?  If so, THAT is the story here.

    TMZ articles always read like a fucking ADHD-riddled meth head wrote them.  

    I think she crashed into the garage, people tried to get her out to help her and she said fuck that and drove off, then she crashed into a house and her car burst into flames.

  12. When I added my kids, my cost doubled. I wanted to cry. I make them pay $100/mo. Knock on wood, they've done fine. 

    I actually tried to switch to USAA after a while but their quote was almost double of the newly doubled price I was paying. The agent said "Yeah, USAA doesn't like teen drivers.". Fuck that noise.

    It doesn’t help that I’m getting older

    This is the whole thing for me. I used to watch College Gameday, then every game from 11 till whenever the last one finished. Didn't care who was playing. Now I'm pushing 50 and I only watch the teams I really about, but I don't mind if other plans interrupt me watching a game. My interest level has plummeted, in all sports.

  14. I have a tempur-pedic hybrid mattress, it's great. But regardless of what fitted sheet I use, it just gets wadded up. The mattress compresses when we lay on it and there's excess sheet all over the place. Every sheet I see these days is "deep pocketed", which might be the issue. But I can't find any standard pocket size sheets. I've never had this issue with the old spring style mattresses. 

    I bought a tempur-pedic mattress cover and it's the same way, so I have no hope for the expensive tempur-pedic sheets they try to sell you. I just want the fitted sheet to fit tightly and stay that way.

    I avoid driving in other countries, particularly left hand road countries. The risks are just too high of making some small mistake and having big consequences

    Matthew Broderick thinks you're just being silly.
