  1. Can we get Chad Briscoe to translate?
  2. Is your neighbor someone's wife? That vaccination shit is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
  3. It's different because he also works in a "we" space. So most of his life is under this "we" corporate umbrella where everything is provided for you, for a price.
  4. Meh, who cares? A very different perspective on life that what I have, but different strokes.
  5. Doesn't add all of the different chemicals. I want something I fill with chemicals 5-6 times a year and it does the rest.
  6. Someone could make an absolute mint if they developed a machine that would automatically add chemicals to your pool. It's a huge pain in the ass. Right now I'm too cheap to hire a pool guy, but I'm quickly getting over it.
  7. Caption that man's reaction: "White people. SMH."
  8. I've always thought that deaf chick was hot.
  9. I've done a lot of stupid shit as a professional. One time I had a hearing in county court. I was representing the plaintiff in a simple collections case and the defendant had never shown up for anything, never filed an answer, never responded to my letters or phone calls. So we're at the hearing, and I ask the judge if we could take up some other matter in the case. The judge asked if I had noticed the issue for a hearing and I said no, but the defendant never shows for anything so I thought we could just go ahead. She asked me, "Don't you think that would violate Rule 21 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure?" I didn't know what the fuck Rule 21 was so I had to say, "I don't know." The judge just looked at me incredulously and asked if there was anything else. Rule 21 is one of the most rudimentary rules of civil procedure that says everything you file in court has to be noticed to the other side. Basic due process. I felt like a real idiot that day.
  10. I was out of town last weekend and my wife invited her sister's family over to swim in the pool. We've only been in the house a little while and my wife doesn't know anything about the pool controls. This was the first time she used the pool without me there. She wanted to run the hot tub, so she calls me. It was a too-long and very frustrating conversation that ended with me screaming at her and asking to talk to my brother in law so he could do the controls, but at one point I asked her if the fountains were running. The reason I asked her this was to verify that she had moved the valves in the right way so that all of the suction and all of the return was flowing through the heater and the hot tub like it was supposed to. We have these two little water features that are just jets that spew little fountains of water up a foot or so. If the fountains were going that meant she did not have the valves set right. She kept answering me talking about the bubbles in the hot tub (which I also had to explain to her how to operate). I was telling her, "The fountains! The two little jets of water on the step platform!" Silence. "Where we set the baby's seat!" Silence. "The fountains!" Silence. She still had no fucking idea what I was talking about. "Jesus! Let me talk to *brother-in-law*!!"
  11. Had exact same thing happen.
  12. Is Dirt Bike the new Chad Briscoe?
  13. It is grammatically incorrect, which is precisely why people are doing it - for effect. Grammatical rules are broken all the time for effect.
  14. A lot of people bitch about this, but I don't think it's actually incorrect. They are using the word "literally" to emphasize the truth of the statement. It's really the same as saying "actually." Like, "That ACTUALLY happened." "Actually" is superfluous, other than to add emphasis. Intentional misuse of "literally" does the same thing. Though it's true that most people probably don't realize they are misusing the word. Now it's just an accepted saying.
  15. Based on the information that you have, there is no way to know with any degree of certainty whether your wife has any Easter European ancestry. So neither of you can be right. You are right about the math, but the math doesn't take into account key variables, like the rate of intermixing of Eastern Europeans with Western Europeans since the beginning of time. I think 23 and Me and those things are bullshit too, so you aren't going to get any answers there either.
  16. The Bastard Clones of David Bowie
  17. I wish I was.
  18. I went home for lunch and pulled in the trash can and recycle bin. Wife hears me and comes out and tells me to leave them outside the gate because the service she hired to clean them is coming today. She hired a company to clean the inside of our trash cans. To clean the inside of trash cans. Trash cans. I admit that every now and then if some putrid shit leaks inside of them they can stink, but they are outside and that situation is rare. I dared not ask how much they charged for this "service."
  19. Everything is always on me, because I could always swoop in and prevent or fix whatever fucked up shit my wife does. But I shouldn't have to. An actual capable partner with any wits should be capable of making a simple fucking decision and carrying out a simple task toward a known goal.
  20. What would you call a sausage, roughly the same size as a hot dog, in an elongated piece of bread with mustard and relish? There's really no reason for anyone to eat an actual disgusting hot dog. It barely qualifies as food. I've been substituting sausages for hot dogs for years.
  21. We were planning our Memorial Day last week and I told her that all I really wanted to do was grill some burgers or hot dogs in the backyard and swim in the pool as a family. I basically work 16 hour days and I was out of town Saturday and Sunday, which means that I don't have time to do any of the prep work and it falls on her. So yesterday morning she's running through the day's schedule, which includes her getting a massage (since I was gone the two previous days) and picking up and dropping off our oldest for a play date. She asks me what I want to grill and I told her again "burgers and/or hot dogs." She must have gone to the grocery store 5 times last week and didn't pick up the shit we needed for grilling. I think I threw her off with the and/or thing. Not specific enough. So I finally tell her, "Okay, hot dogs, but not the Oscar Meyer bullshit - let's get some kind of sausages." She fucks around most of the day and then it's like 4 o'clock, time to get in the pool and she has to go to the grocery store. Except it's not the grocery store that is five minutes from our house; it's the fancy grocery store that is 20 minutes from our house. She's gone like an hour and a half. By the time she gets back the kids are tired of swimming and grumpy because they are hungry. I drank four beers while I grilled the sausages.
  22. I saw a documentary or interview on Earl Campbell once and it was talking about his wife and marriage. It might have actually been his wife talking. Anyway, she said anytime things would get tense between them or there was a potential argument he would just walk outside and stay away for a while. She said he never participated in an argument with her. I'm thinking about trying it. I'm one to get things out in the open and deal with them and resolve them and move on, but going through the process doesn't work with my wife anyway, so why even try?
  23. Yeah, I'm considered the asshole in our relationship, yet I say "I'm sorry" and "I was wrong" regularly. That "walking home" strategy is interesting. Wouldn't work with my wife though. She would actually allow me to start walking home and would pick me up. She'd call my bluff.
  24. Same. I thought it was going to be cool, but it ended up being kind of weak.
