  1. I used to work with a guy, his family has a big farming business. He worked there in high school and college. He told me about it one day and I said it was so cool that he's got this family business, why not work there now? He said fuck that shit, he hates it. He wants his dad and uncle to deal with it, he's out. I didn't get it but it made me sad.

    I guess since my sister and I have such a good relationship, I just can't imagine wanting to go to court and fight over inheritance, or just walk away from something my family built from nothing. But I don't have a multi-million dollar family legacy, either. Ignorance is bliss?

    One month into the 16 year old driving and it looks like two mirrors are going to be on her Christmas list.

    My sister did this to my dad's fairly new 1986 Ford Tempo, backed out of the garage and misjudged the clearance. But I didn't know it for years because my dad took the heat and told my mom that he was the one that did it. He never told me the truth until after my mom died, LOL. 

  3. I stopped at this ghetto-ass gas station on my way to work, as they have really good, cheap fountain drinks. I usually pay with the change I have in my truck but today, I didn't have enough. I had to break a $20 and my worst fears came true: The clerk handed me some raggedy, warm bills that looked like they've been hiding in a homeless woman's bra. Or worse.

  4. When my ex-SIL was pregnant with her second son, she said they were gonna name him Hunter. I thought that name sucked but I what I really thought was cool is that their last name begins with an H as well. I said you need to give him a middle name that begins with an H too, so he can be Triple H!  She did not agree, and instead used her maiden name for the middle name, which is dumb.

    When I called my grandmother to tell her I was going to have twin girls, she said great, you can use my first and middle name for their names. I respectfully declined her suggestion but I always tell my kids to be thankful that they aren't named Esther and Elvira.

  5. Yeah, they should've gone with "Washington F.C." and not had an actual nickname. 

    I've lived in OK for 35+ years, heard lots of racial slurs but "Redskin" wasn't one of them. People usually go with "fucking indians" when they want to go there.

    Most of the "natives" I know are just people who claim 1/64 tribal blood. But my coworker is actually 100% native and I asked her what she thought about the Redskin name, she said none of her family had ever thought twice about it. They're more into hating Andrew Jackson and wishing he was removed from the $20 bill.

    I think a postseason rematch of a game from the regular season is fine. Most league's have this. My problem is a post-season rematch. CCG are post-season just like the playoff. I'm not aware of any other league where this happens. Maybe soccer because I know nothing about soccer.

    The reason I disagree is that it was a round robin, everyone played everyone. We all played the same schedule and OSU won by a game. There's no "what if?" , like 2007 when Kansas went 11-1 but lost to Mizzou and didn't get to play for the B12 title.

    Georgia had its shot and lost by 17.

    Baylor should have been there. Why does Georgia deserve a mulligan when they have charleston state on their schedule?

    I would argue that Baylor shouldn't get a shot either. They lost to OSU, who won the conference season by a game over Baylor. No need for that stupid rematch.

    Probably just leads to getting a second guitar. And maybe a drum kit. And that's some real cheddar. Dammit. I just want to jam with my kids. Maybe they don't need to go to college?

    A few years ago (shit, 10 years now that I think about it), my kids discovered my old xbox 360 Guitar Hero games and now they play it all the time. The wireless controller broke and now the whammy bar broke on the remaining one. Finding one that works is hard and then you have to pay the $100 and hope the guy on ebay wasn't lying. I've yet to pull the trigger on one but I think I'll have to soon.

  9. Our building had a leak and they're using heaters all over to try and dry out the carpets and inside the drywall. So it's been almost 90 degrees in here for a few days. My 60+ year old coworker (who can't shut up in a normal situation) tells anyone who walks by how wet her underwear happens to be right now.

  10. I need a new pillow. I really don't want to spend $100+ but it's looking like I'll have to in order to get a decent one. I'd rather have one that's more firm than soft. I do NOT want one that calls for you to remove or add stuffing whenever you want because I don't want to have a bag of pillow guts in the hall closet for future needs. 

    My wife is happy with her Tempurpedic pillow we got with our bed but fuck, it's $189 on amazon and that's ridiculous IMO. It also feels a bit too soft for my needs. I just want a supportive, king size pillow that's not too expensive.

  11. My wife and I were both vaxed in August. On monday, she felt kinda blah, then was really sick on tuesday but felt better tuesday night. She took an at-home test wednesday morning and it was positive, so she set up a test for wednesday at a lab and got the results thurdsay night, she was positive. Now, I started feeling slightly shitty thursday morning and left work. I took an at-home test thursday night, it was negative. I got an appointment at the lab for friday morning and got tested there, got the results tonight, it was negative. However....

    Everyone around me seems to think that whatever results you get MUST be wrong. People told me the at-home test must be wrong, my wife thinks that my lab test must be wrong, or maybe HERS was wrong. False positive, false negative, blah blah blah. Fuck this shit, it makes me want to never get tested again because who gives a fuck? Nobody wants to accept anything at face value.

    Should you believe the word of someone who can't tell the difference between real bacon and vegan bacon? She probably said something along the lines of "this is bacon" and not "this is real bacon." And if Bill Clinton can dispute what the meaning of is is, then a vegan can dispute what the meaning of real bacon is.

    I just assumed that she's like my wife and not much of a cook, so she didn't recognize that it wasn't real bacon.

    But what kind of dumb idiot let's a vegan cook breakfast for them while having an allergy to soy? Did she think the vegan was going to cook up real bacon for her?

    The vegan lied and told her it was real.

    "She told me it was regular bacon. Not that it was fake bacon or that it had soy,"
