Tv Show Comedy GIF by HULU

She is a sugar momma at times. 

I'm a lucky guy. Having an 11 inch cock can cause some problems, but it has a few advantages.

I'm sure you walk funny and whistle when the wind blows, but if mamma straps the 11 incher on I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

I blame the airlines for their luggage policy. You used to check 2 bags for free and have one carryon. Didn't matter when you got on the plane, there was usually room for your carryon. Now they are charging and not enforcing the size of the carryon. Just look at that person in the center screen--she has a huge fucking backpack and a purse and a blue bag. All that shit will take up more than her share of the overhead. Now multiply her by everyone in line and you see why people want to rush to get on the plane early. /end surly rant

Same shit happens on SouthWest Airlines and their policy is 2 check bags fo' free.

Not necessarily trivial but certainly makes me surly.

This past Saturday afternoon I took my two young granddaughters (4-1/2 years old and 3-1/2 years old) to Jurassic Quest at the Shreveport Convention Center. I paid to park in the Convention Center parking garage. While we were having an enjoyable time someone took it upon themselves to vandalize my truck. They did not break into my truck but just put a dent in my tailgate.

I reported it to on-site security on Saturday. Today they manager called and said, “Sorry, we have signs posted that they are not responsible for damages to your vehicle”. 

They have security cameras but only at the entrance and exit. Security is there just to watch the cashiers. Ugh.

Twice now my truck has been damaged by others with me to either fix or live with.

Mean people suck.

An old hs classmate of one of my kids named their baby daughter Beighler, pronounced Baylor. 

I went to school with a girl named Taylor Taylor Taylor. She HATED her name. I know she got it legally changed when she went to college and got it changed again when married. Parents can be brutal when they don't need to be.

When I was in high school i knew a girl whose last name was Cox. Her parents named her Dreama. I know she wasn’t lying because she showed me her drivers license.

Parents who try and be "cute" and give their kids these names are the fucking worst.

My buddy wanted to name his first kid (a girl) after his dad, who has a unisex type of name. His dad said, please don't, I hate my name. They did it anyway but spelled it all fucked up, just to be different I guess. Years later, he told me "I regret that. She's gonna have people pronouncing her name wrong for the rest of her life".

I told my son that my only advice In naming their kid is to not give them a name that they will have to spell every day of their life. He responded, “Like Stephen?” His name, of course, is Stephen instead of Steven.

I used to coach baseball with a friend whose wife, Janet, named their three boys Jarrett, Jarrick, and Jarren. He always seemed a bit irritated that he had to emphasize the last syllable to get the correct boy’s attention.

As opposed to being annoyed at how ridiculously white his wife obviously was?

My dad is a Jr. First name is Estil. I asked why he didn’t name me the third one time. His response, “I’ve been called Biff my whole life and it isn’t because I liked my real name. I sure as hell ain’t passing it on to you.”

Traffic light is out on Bee Cave Rd.  Sheriff is at said light with his lights on and sitting in the vehicle doing jack shit.  All the while, it took 15 minutes to get through the light because he refused to get out and direct traffic.  

Van, Tx has a very small police force. 3-4 cops is my estimate. By “small” I mean headcount. One of those guys is 400 lbs or so. The only time I ever see him is in one of the three restaurants in town.  Really, that’s the only time I’ve ever seen him. Not directing traffic, not walking the bleachers at a HS game, for goodness sake not in a foot chase.

My University of Texas coffee cup that I have had for almost 30 years that I exclusively use at my office has come up missing.  I was gone on a business trip for 2 weeks and when I returned to my office it was not to be found.  I never take it home.  I have also looked at home just to be sure.  I have checked all of the offices and have put up a "Missing" sign.  It is no where to be found.

I will probably stumble across it eventaully and I will then post it in the "Getting Old Sucks" thread about forgetfulness.

I has the sads.

Both are edible.

Avocados from Mexico!

Lettuce from Romania!

Sure. 

And I could probably order a guacamole salad, but I'm not a communist.

If I want healthy vegetables with my rice, refried beans and three enchilada plate slathered in 8 ounces of melted cheese, I'll have some salsa.

Went to Costco to get my paper towels. Came home and opened the package to discover that they don't individually wrap the rolls anymore, I guess. Now instead of putting the rolls on the shelves in the pantry, I have to find a place to store the whole giant package.

Why does it matter if the individual rolls are wrapped while sitting on the shelf in the pantry?

Because I don't want 12 giant open rolls of paper towels gathering dust or whatever in my pantry. My wife calls it the pantry but it's a closet inside the laundry room, there's no food just cleaning supplies and assorted crap that Mitch Cumsteen's wife would appreciate.

So many people stop just beyond this sign.

Because they are fucking morons.  You should see them ( never) try to merge at highway speeds on the freeway.

Kirklands paper towels are individually wrapped in packs of 2. They’re bountyesque quality.

Just peel the top couple of “contaminated” sheets off the roll if it bugs you that they might be dusty. But I doubt the Bounty factory is a sterile environment, so who knows what’s trapped inside that wrapper anyway.

It's when the rat's piss all over the ends and you have to toss the entire roll. /SoonerStruggles
