I have no idea what the fascination with this yearly carnival is. Besides Texas OU gameday, fuck that place.

 

Also the weird obsession with eating tons of deep fried foods that should never have been deep fried.

When people come over to my house and expect me to supply bottled water as a beverage. There's beer, tea, liquor, juice, milk, filtered water, and tap water. Bring your own bottled water if you insist on drinking it.

Little Black Sambo is a little boy in India. He was chased around the tree by tigers which live in Asia. Okie dokie - maybe in the Zimbabwe Zoo. The English called everyone darker than lily white blacks.

Why is Sambo racist for Africans.?

No. My grandparents read that book to me in 1959 and it still makes me surly.

The carriage return automatically gives you a double space in the Surly forum interface. Please stop hitting it twice between paragraphs. The carriage return is also known as the "Enter" or "Return" key. Sometimes it's represented by <CR>. When I hit it once...

This is the spacing. That's double spaced text. When I hit it twice...

 

This is the spacing. That's a big waste of space. Don't do that. 

You mean

Surprised you don't like it there.  That'd be like shooting fish in a barrel for you.

 

Or is it the awkwardness of your last 6 hook-ups in the same vicinity?

Tis the season for baseball teams to go to state/nationals.

Back in the day they would sell candy bars, popcorn, light bulbs (the most brilliant of ANYTHING EVER), etc.  Or, hold car washes which I always participated in and gave an extra $5 or so.

The new trend I see is simply panhandling on street corners.  Bucket in hand with some small sign asking for money.  

NO.

[Cheeseweasel 26437]

Frankly, I'll take it a step further. You want your kids to go to state/nationals? Pay for it. When did this turn into a "support your community" event?

Just moved into a new place and I'm convinced whoever designed the electrical stuff in this house must have been on their first day on the job.

A is the kitchen

B is a hall light

C is the breakfast nook area

1, 2, and 3 are light switches. Anyone want to guess which switch corresponds to which light?

 

Spoiler

1 = A (kitchen)

2 = C (breakfast nook)

3 = B (hall light)

Apartment I take it? If not call an electrician. That really would cost much to swap. Few hundred at most.

“ATX”

It has always seemed like a blatant ripoff of PDX. If it was at least our airport code like PDX is, then it would make sense. Instead it’s just trying hard to have a cool sounding abbreviation like Portland.

PDX is stupid. ATX at least makes sense for Austin, TX.

ATX is more a ripoff of ATL than PDX.  Now get off my lawn!

Trivial as fuck. Why do you care? Just don’t read them. I sometimes like reading them just because. Do billboards piss you off too? That would make more sense because they make cities uglier.

I despise being anyone's captive audience. And saying "don't read them" is an awful lot like saying "don't think about a pink elephant."

Turn your phone up just as loud, and have someone text you 10 times in a row, then pull it (your phone) out, and say, Sorry, that was really annoying, then turn it back to silent while staring down the usual culprit.

NO.

I never give them money because I know it is just funding a for profit tournament, plus they are always in like Orlando or las vegas.  I'm not paying for your families vacation.  I'm sure there are plenty of good teams to play within are 4 hour drive.

PDX, the ATL, DFW, etc. Airport codes. Nobody referenced Los Angeles as the LAX. Its L.A.

SFO is a tweener. San Fran is generally the reference.

Detroit or Cleveland should be KSHT.

Sounds like they are really in demand and...then.....there is you.
