  1. Can't argue with that. Didn't like that I had to get up and go wait in line if I wanted another one, though. I had to look up what EVO is. I'm pretty excited about that. I was actually thinking just the other day what a shame it is that there is no bowling alley close by. My kids love Wii bowling. Surprised it took this long with all the expansion in the area over the past 10 years.
  2. The only thing I liked about that place was the location. Food was pretty disgusting.
  3. Everything else you wrote is spot on. But this is just fucking stupid. Makes your opinion on the subject feel a little hollow since it's clear you have an ax to grind. And I'm not a cyclist btw.
  4. Well, the Dems were just slightly less retarded up until 2020. So I'm not sure it really calls for a victory lap. Curious what the numbers showed for prior years--maybe the poll didn't exist them. In case it needs clarification, the American public in general is fucking stupid, and it crosses both aisles.
  5. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm going to wash my car.
  6. Uh, they have these things called gas stations. If you're off the beaten path, then pee in the grass. Have you never taken a road trip with your kids? I guess I take it for granted that we've been driving to CO every summer since our youngest was born. We now have 3 boys, ages 3, 5, and 8.
  7. Is my sarcasm meter broken?
  8. It's like we're all married to the same woman
  9. It's funny you say that. I live out in Driftwood and have seen a few in the 8 years we've been out here. But 3 days ago one slithered right past my dog's foot and into the brush as he was taking a shit (the dog, not the snake). Couldn't have been more than 3 feet from me and I didn't notice it until it moved. Then within 48 hours, there were 2 posts on Nextdoor of coral snakes in people's yards. Dumbasses killed them. That of course incited a pissing match.

    Why does Lars look like he's holding in explosive diarrhea during the entire song?
  11. I say this knowing that I'd rather covid-19 never had happened, but shit has been pretty fucking good. I'm in phenomenal shape from not having to travel for work and not eating out. Plus I get in extra walks, runs, or bike rides each week. Also very diligent about lifting weights a couple of times each week. I get 1-1.5hrs extra sleep per night. Wife was furloughed 3 weeks ago so I don't have to manage the kids schooling, and it's been great just being home as a family. Wife has really gotten into cooking again. We usually cook a lot at home, but I work full time and she works 3x per week, so weekdays were for easy healthy meals, and big productions used to only happen on the weekend. Not now. Homemade bread for sandwiches, bagels, baguettes, pretzels. She is knocking it out. Plus the kids have taken an interest. Just last week the 5 year old took charge on a bolognese, 8 year old made carbonara, and wife made homemade pizza (except for the cheese, everything was made from scratch). I am still employed. I have gotten a ton of shit done around the house. Taxes, mowing and bagging a huge yard twice so I could airate and fertilize, mulched the flower beds, weeded, trimmed trees, serviced the John Deere, washed and oiled the outdoor furniture. Next on the list for this week is repair a couple of panels of the fence, and then reorganize the garage. Shit, we even camped as a family in the backyard last night. We haven't done that in years. Washers, fire, s'mores, games in the tent...it was a fucking blast. So I guess, yea, I am enjoying myself.
  12. Helobious will get the gist of that reference.
  13. We have a bunch of William-Sonoma cook books, and my 5 year old son was looking through the Pasta book last week. He came across Bolognese and insisted on making it. It was really fun. He helped at every step of he way. Ours was more of less like Landomatic's with the exception that we used a mix of pork and beef, and we omitted any tomoato product. he hates tomato, and since he was the chef on this one, he got to make the decisions. The 8 year old then looked through the book and found Carbonara. I've never made it, so I plan on pretty much copying the steps taken by Landomatic, with the changes to ratios he mentions. Looks great.
  14. I got fuck all in Driftwood.
  15. But how do they catch on fire in the garage?
  16. Couldn't you use that logic on just about anything you cook? Bread, hamburgers, ice cream, etc. Cooking can be fun, and it will likely taste better than the cheap shit at a fast food place. There's a reason it's cheap.
  17. Actually this is why I decided to give up alcohol while we are working and teaching from home. After Spring Break, it seemed like it would be really easy to start drinking at 3-4pm and not stopping until bed. Wife and decided to give up alcohol for the time being. I'm really looking forward to having a 512 IPA.
  18. Well, nothing messy besides the obesity and infertility from the plastic leaching into your food.
  19. Update: In addition to the Rosemary Focaccia, she's now made bagels on 2 different occasions. There is no shortage on our usual bread or bagels at the store. She hasn't bought flour or made bread in at least 9 months, but now that there's a shortage on flour at the store, she's using up all of her stock. The homemade bread is fantastic, though.
  20. I thought the story around "Garden Party" was that Nelson thought they were booing him, but there was actually some sort of disturbance in the crowd people were reacting to.
  21. So everyone is of the opinion this is a quick bounce, but overall will likely settle back in lower, right? Chance to make quick money on a few stocks, but buy and hold is extremely risky. Trying to understand the general consensus.
  22. I know what Pandora station I'll be (Islands in the) streaming all day
  23. My wife has like 6 different types of flour for a total of about 8-10 bags, and it has been a source of ridicule by me for years, and really should be a post in the "Trivial things that annoy the shit out of you" thread. Keep in mind this is her usual stock. She hasn't bought a single bag this year. Now she's walking around like
