  1. 100% this. Years ago when we were relatively newly married, my wife was telling me about her friend's "nightmare situation" where the friend's father died with a lot of credit card debt and now they had to pay all of it and even had to sell their own house to cover the debt and how it might bankrupt them. I asked if the father owned part of the house. She said no. I asked if the friend somehow obligated herself to pay her father's debts. She said no, it was a total surprise. So I said "in that case she doesn't have to do anything except walk away from the estate." She got all pissy at me and then finally said "why should I just take your word for it?" And I said "because I am a LAWYER." I told this story to my father's long-time law partner and he said "that's your mistake. You may be a lawyer to every other person on earth, but to your wife, you are just some dumb fuck."
  2. I'm a professional microwave stealer so I'm good with it I cannot even imagine having this argument with any woman, much less my wife. Who gives a shit? Why would you even try to correct her?
  3. May want to clear that with NMAS's moral compass first
  4. The waveguide cover on the top of a drawer-style microwave. I'm pretty handy, but it was a pain in the ass and was never quite right.
  5. Return it. I had to fix one when we moved into our house and it's just not the same as new.
  6. Yes but I don't have a history of stupid, pointless, and self-centered conversations with my coworkers or buddies so they get the benefit of the doubt.
  7. Sorry to be late to the party, but Mini-14s are garbage
  8. We lost a goldfish ... somewhere ... in my wife's car during a near accident on the New Jersey Turnpike years ago. I pulled the seats out, pulled the carpet out, you name it. Could never find it. We had to sell the car. Still refer to it as the "Fishtastrophe."
  9. 10-4 good to know. I go to the Venetian/Palazzo every year so I will try brunch there next time.
  10. I have to say I have eaten several times for dinner at Bouchon and think it's at best mediocre.
  11. Just finished Episode 10. This whole thing was excellent.
  12. Sorry but I always clean my cast iron immediately to avoid this. My mother-in-law ran the pan through the dishwasher once. Apparently dishwashers have rust in them already. The pan looked like it had been on the Titanic
  13. win-win-win
  14. The MIL died? That's extremely LOL. I was worried nobody was killed or injured in this otherwise wonderful scenario.
  15. My go-to compound butter is roasted garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and chopped sage. Really great complement for when I grill a whole tenderloin. I will coat the entire outside while it rests.
  16. I had a 94 80 I got brand new and put 250k miles on it, then a 97 40th Anniversary with locking diffs at 90k miles I put 150k more on it and now I have a 200 series I bought with 44k miles. In my experience brand new and 100k miles are virtually indistinguishable except for the new car smell and regular wear and tear on the interior.
  17. I won't buy one with fewer than 40k miles on it and it will be at least five years from now.
  18. I would HATE having a V6 in the LC. In lieu of the V8 I am interested in the 4 cylinder hybrid, especially if mileage really is 20+. I've been driving LCs since 1994 and have never gotten better than 13 MPG on a tank of gas.
  19. I stay at the Palazzo every year for a conference. It's fine.
  20. This is an excellent post. Would read again.
  21. "Are you alone?" Jake, looking at the others in his office: "Isn't everybody?"
  22. With the exception of green the 80s and 100s tended to far outlive the usual life span for car paint.
  23. He beat Georgia in the SEC championship and was one play away from playing in the national championship. And he's 72. People sometimes retire when they're 72.
