Buying a New Vehicle in this environment
I just can't fathom having the mindset that thinks a payment this high is acceptable. I'm not some 1% guy that pays cash for my car, either. Shit, my mortgage isn't that high!

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
This sounds like some people that are actively trying to avoid going home. I used to do that shit too, then I got divorced. Now I try to sneak out early every chance I get.

This is a man. He's over 40. He's a man.
You mean, win a second one? Because he's won one already. If you mean he should have more than one, I agree.

Your work pet peeves
FIFY. The old bags at my office would do this on the reg. I thought about telling them about all the piss on the men's room floor that us guys track back into our office, but I decided that not telling them is more fun.

Your work pet peeves
It's worse when someone doesn't bother to enter the required cooking time and just puts it on for 10 mins. Then they stop it at some random time and say "good enough" and leave it paused at 6:32 remaining and walk away.

Realignment talk not going away
Relegation is so dumb. Imiagine a school gets bumped down a peg. Not only do you lose the money but you think these kids are gonna just stay there? Especially the seniors, they'll say Fuck This and take the first bus out of town to a better program.

Your work pet peeves
If someone takes my lunch from the fridge, I'm gonna pull your fucking card. You do not mess with a man's meals.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
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.

House of the Dragon
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.

Cowboy Boots
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.

House of the Dragon
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.

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
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.

Warranty Question
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.

Kids - to have them or not
Both of my kids (twins, 20, no pics) have now moved out. While I do miss them, it's so fucking nice to not have to factor them into certain things. "Should we have this for dinner? Nah, kid 1 won't like it. Plus we don't know when she'll get home from work."

OK, Maybe all of Oklahoma doesn't suck
Depends on where you're going. There's a place in Noble called Kendall's that serves huge ones. I've never been there but lots of people I know swear by them.

The Sopranos
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.

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

Tell me about ou
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?

Tell me about ou
You'd think it wouldn't be an issue in Norman, OK.
