Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[skipperj 377]

I would guess that DFW airport was named after conventions at the time rather than the other way around. 

ATX at least makes sense as Austin, TX, compared to PDX.

[markstanco 12483]

The code was assigned, it was not created by the city council. Not sure what to say about it.

Better than the assigned Sioux city airport code. It might as well be in norman.

The new stoplight they put on 360 just north of Bee Caves Road.  Seriously, whoever gave that the ok needs to be shot in the fucking face.

Very trivial. I would want that.

I think it was just fortuitous that AT ends with X. They seem use X as a filler for two letter codes. Los Angeles is LA with an X at the end. PD is Portland with an X at the end. XNA is for Northwest Arkansas, not sure why the X is at the front.

 

Edit: Nevermind, that’s not your airport code. Just some hipster thing. I’m cool with it.

I don't know, man.  My wife uses it every day, and it really does make that U-turn there safer (heading NB to SB).  I've had to use it a few times, and other than the fact it takes 5 minutes per cycle, it's great.  And supposedly it was put in to preemptively address the increase of traffic leaving that lot since the new Apple complex is located back there.

Correction......every stoplight they put on 360 is fucking bullshit.

Idiot ass neighbor who planted bamboo on our mutual fenceline.  Are you in college still?  Have you any idea how much those things encourage mosquitoes?  Certain trees and grasses in Central Texas, how do people not understand your idiotic fantasy what makes for a cool backyard is not okay for this part of the country.

I hate to tell you this, but if your neighbor has bamboo, you have bamboo.

I have never encountered an auto window that could not be controlled manually.

Restaurants that have "boneless wings" on the menu. When I order chicken wings, I hate having to clarify that I want the damn bones in them. Feel free to keep your sauced up nuggets on the menu, but please don't call them wings.

[NeverMarryAStripper 21780]

Do you also complain when they call the little legs wings, or when they call the animal they come from a buffalo?

Ours is tricky to get exactly right. If you press the button all the way, it goes all the way down/up, even if you let up. You have to partially press it to retain control, and it’s easy to go too far.

 

Also, boneless wings are delicious. I get them way more than regular.

Maybe you’re just not a good enough switch pusher.

Also, team bone-in wings.

Is my sarcasm meter defective? You sound serious. But surely that can't be.

The next time you eat actual wings, examine the bones after you're done. See all the tiny little bits of meat and cartilage that is still sticking to the bone. The stuff you wouldn't eat. That's the quality of meat they use to make your nuggets. A chicken wing is chicken. A chicken nugget has a bunch of ingredients that aren't chicken...or food. 

[skipperj 377]

And...they’re still delicious. What’s the problem here?

[skipperj 377]

But, you do realize that actual wing places (not talking Burger King here) use chicken breast to make their boneless wings. These aren’t “nuggets”.

The PC term is bison.

You know that and I know that, but apparently whoever misnamed the chicken wings didn’t.

No, I don't realize that. I've never seen such a place. What's an example of a place that slices up a chicken breast, fries it, covers it in sauce, and sells it as a "boneless wing?" And what do they charge?

[skipperj 377]

I'm sorry you eat at shitty places.

Answer the question. And while you're at it explain to us why your Michelin rated restaurant is serving sliced up chicken breasts as "boneless wings."

[Vic Mackey 46916]

Boneless wings are chicken nuggets. End of story.

doesn't matter what i've used to clean my windshield, be it windex, invisible glass, vinegar, 90% rubbing alcohol, whatever, there's still some residue on it that only smears around.  annoys the fuck out of me

This. 

 

Neighbor cata-corner from my backyard planted bamboo and it started sprouting up in my yard. Sumbeech Wouldn’t do anything about it until one time I accidentally disconnected his wires from the Internet pedestal in the same corner of my backyard. Weird as hell though, those bamboo plants disappeared real quick like

 

Musta brushed up against them wires with the choppin hoe on the bamboo...

I don't get the chicken wing love anyway.

You get the piece of chicken with the absolute least meat on it.....slathered in some kind of sauce that gets all over your hands and face. Fuck that give me a leg a breast or a thigh any day over a fucking wing.

Hate to tell you but with modern cars it is completely unnecessary unless you're going to be jumping to highway speeds in the first minute or two.

Whenever I touch an ice cream container, my hands get sticky as fuck. And I don't mean when I open the container, I mean any time I touch it. Like when moving it to another side of the freezer when I need to put in a bigger item.

Multiple autodial calls from my kids' school district that are all the same.  Yeah, probably my own fault for having 5 kids in school, but holy hell.  Every single day during the school year I can expect 5 calls from the school district that are the same message.
