  1. Is my sarcasm meter broken?
  2. It's like we're all married to the same woman
  3. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. Helobious will get the gist of that reference.
  7. 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.
  8. I got fuck all in Driftwood.
  9. But how do they catch on fire in the garage?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Well, nothing messy besides the obesity and infertility from the plastic leaching into your food.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. I know what Pandora station I'll be (Islands in the) streaming all day
  17. 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
  18. Wife made some beer bread with a similar recipe to Steamboat's last week. Yesterday she made a rosemary focaccia. It does not suck.
  19. Collective Surly fighting urges to jump back in: Trying to figure out when to turn into this:
  20. hord hopefully that person is sterile
  21. I'm selling our Double BOB. It's in fantastic shape. It's used, but well taken care of. New versions retail for $700. Link to Craigs list ad
  22. No shit. They're trying to add some sanity to the situation. "Everyone chill out. We're going to restock our shelves every day, and to do that we're going to reduce our hours. Every one can get the necessities they need as long as they aren't fucking jackasses about it." The problem is assholes with 100 roles of TP at their house are going to go restock every 3 days so they never drop below 95.
  23. If I had to put money on NE vs the field, I'd take the field.
  24. He doesn't strike me as the type of guy that just wants to get paid. That hasn't been his MO. I think at this point he wants to win AND get paid (in that order), and I'm not sure that opportunity exists. Should be interesting, but I don't think he'll go to one of those teams. Well, maybe Buffalo just to stick to to NE, but Buffalo doesn't seem like a Tom and Gisele kind of town. They actually have a decent team and need a QB.
