  1. My wife is a complete drama queen, especially when it comes to her job. I'm constantly getting texts like "I just want to crawl in a hole and cry right now" or "I'm trying SO HARD not to cry" and it's about dumb shit that no sane human would cry about. I finally got tired of it and told her to get a new job. She then says her job isn't so bad. JFC.

    Was hoping that ended with neighbor shooting the dog, at the very least. 

    Ex-BIL said the neighbor hated him and the dog, threatened to shoot the dog on more than one occasion. So either he was a smooth talker or a smooth cocksucker, because the dog eventually died of old age.

    Some folks use them as catch dogs for hog hunting, but that is more of a legitimate purpose than just having them as pets.

    CSB: My ex-brother in law used to breed pits for hog hunting, sold a lot of them, too. His favorite male used to go over to his neighbor's property and fuck with the cows. He'd latch onto their snouts/necks and the cows would try like hell to fling him off, neighbor hated him (rightly so). He lost almost all of his teeth doing this and catching hogs, they just loosened over time and fell out. They had to soak his food in water so he could eat.

    1. Email all the dealerships in the area with a throw-away e-mail address. I usually e-mail Austin and San Antonio ones. Throw in Houston or Dallas if you're willing to drive that far.

    2. Tell them exactly what you want and ask them for their best price. Some will ask you to come in and take a test drive, but most will give you a direct answer.

    3. Take the two lowest offers and play them off of each other.

    I tried this approach recently and every dealer I dealt with told me to pound sand. "The price listed on our website is what we have to get." I told them I wanted to buy a truck TODAY, they didn't give a fuck, they refused to negotiate. I think too many people use this approach and then bail on them without coming in at all.

  5. Wife and I are leaving for vacation on friday, it's been planned since April. I told my wife that maybe we could share my suitcase, as I'm packing mostly shorts and t-shirts. She didn't think we could get everything in one suitcase and said we might have to pack seperately. No big deal, I get the blue suitcase I used for every one of our vacations and start to see what I can get in there. I ask her why she didn't get her suitcase, she tells me we only have this one. Sometime in the last 2-3 years, she sold her suitcase in a garage sale because it was "broke". I asked what was broken, I got no answer. She had just assumed that she was going to use the one suitcase. When I asked her what she thought I'd be using, other than the same blue case I've used for the last 10 years, she had no idea.

    Guess who gets to go suitcase shopping tonight??? Fuck.

    5 minutes here. They're 9 months old, so i can vouch for the 2nd sentence... fuck... i mean, congrats Bogey!! 

    You're still in the shitty stage. Once they get to 3 or 4 years old, it gets much better.  Mine are almost 17 (no pics) and I'm pretty much on cruise control. Weed and dicks are my main threats at this point.

  7. Weighed in at 269.6 this morning. It's been a couple of years since I've broke 270. Down 25 lbs since April. My short term goal was to reach 275 by 9-21, as that's the day we leave for vacation. I hit that about 10-14 days ago, so I changed my goal to 270. Feels good. Long term goal is 250 and once we get there, I'm just gonna keep slowly creeping down (hopefully). 225 would be fantastic.

    That ESPN ticker / score update just got shittier.   It will flash "Score Update" and you don't even know what the hell the update is and which team scored.  Just shows the god damned score. 

    And it pops up a yellow box!  My team scored a TD but I though it was getting called back for a second, just from some yellow box popping up as he crossed the goal line. Fuck ESPN.

  9. The first time I heard someone use the N word was 1986. We had just came back to the states after 6 years in Germany, I was about to turn 13. We were at my mom's parent's house, just outside of Denver. I was catching up on the shows I used to watch before we went overseas, like Good Times and What's Happening. It was great! Then my grandfather (whom I didn't know well, only met him 5 or 6 times total in my life) said "Ok, that's enough of those N___ shows." He didn't say it in a mean way, pretty matter-of-factly, really. My mom looked like she'd seen a ghost and admonished him for it. He quickly apologized.

    My dad is from southern Indiana, which can be pretty racist. Mom was from Iowa, Her folks moved to Colorado in the 60s. Neither of my parents used that word around me when I was growing up. Dad would let it slip out sometimes when I was an adult and we were back in Indiana and around his brothers, who let it fly whenever. I grew up on military bases in the 70s and 80s with blacks, Asians, (not too many Hispanics) and we never had race problems. I never heard any of the old sayings like N___ knocking until we moved to Oklahoma in the late 80s.  Talk about culture shock.

    I’ll never forget Weedens TD against Colorado

    I was sitting in the west end zone for that one, it looked like he was throwing it to me. First I thought, what the hell is he doing? Then that fucking frozen rope drilled Blackmon right in the hands. 

  11. I test drove a 2019 Ram yesterday, it was nice. I'm really tempted, even though I usually go with a 2 year old used option. I've been waiting to see the sales to "get rid of the 2018s!" but it hasn't happened yet.
