Goddammit I just saw a guy drive down the road (I was driving at a distance behind him) and as a squirrel ran out on the road he did nothing to avoid it - didn’t even tap the brakes - and ran over it. Mother fucker. Fuck you. God I didn’t need to see that today. 

My experience -- swerve, and the squirrel runs directly into the swerve. Keep going straight and he freezes but then shoots off at the last minute.

Decided to watch our local NBC affiliate for the news tonight instead of the ABC station.  

If you have any red blood in your system, you'll do what all of us do...you bash the other 3 affiliates in your area to your spouse saying that they are biased, compromised, and inept.  And then she lets you "choose" the fourth option...the one you always wanted...based solely on which anchor you find most visually appealing.  

We watched KXAN for years because of Sydney.  She couldn't broadcast her way out of a wet paper bag.  But she was a saucy bowl of eye candy at 10:01pm.  Now she's gone.  So suddenly she's gone.  And suddenly I wanna watch KVUE.  there's no replacement for Sydney, but between the whole team there---they've got 3 or so decent lookers on the team.  KTBC and KEYE are woefully far behind.  Like Luby's got into broadcasting.

In Narcos Mexico they make a big deal out of how nobody really knows what the DEA is and it’s about 1985.  No country for old men there’s a line of dialogue about the DEA calling trying to find Tommy Lee Jones. That movie takes place in 1980. I don’t feel like the DEA would have had the manpower to have been involved in something so in depth as to be dealing with some small town sheriff like that at that time.

I think you’re wrong about that, Grasshopper.  My first dealings with the DEA were in roughly 1980, and they were very well staffed and _very_ interested in small-time doings on both the legitimate drug distribution side (mine) and the illegal side.  Building their chops,I guess.

To me, Britt Moreno is a complete copy of Sydney Benter -- down to the voice and cadence -- just from a Hispanic background. I thought it was weird that Sydney went away and was replaced with someone so similar.

Yeah the voice threw me one day too, Britt is attractive and all but doesn’t do it for me like the glasses wearing minx did.

If squirrels didn't have fuzzy tails we'd call them rats.

Think about it this way, that squirrel's sacrifice will feed some birds.  Then they can shit him out on your windshield.

Circle of life and shit.

Sitting on a park bench in the middle of Chapel Hill, thinking about how long it has been since I last ate some good venison sausage, when from behind the softball fields, strolling straight towards me, comes a 6 point buck. Not a trophy, sure, but obviously good enough for Christmas dinner. He ran off immediately, of course, because I burst out laughing, thinking about how he's in pretty much the only part of North Carolina where he's not likely to get shot.

Why the hell are William Shatner, George Foreman and Jimmy Walker hawking “free” Medicare?

They don’t need that shit. And it damn sure isn’t free. Fuck them.

WTF is wrong with you, Bill? You're James T. Kirk for Christ's sake! Quit slumming with J.J.

How many times/day do you look at(why do we look in?) a mirror purposely?

Ha, this came up yesterday when I bought a new bedroom set. I said I didn’t want the mirror and the sales guy was like “you don’t?”

There’s a giant ass mirror in the bathroom, why do I need another in the room attached to the bathroom? In case my hair gets wind swept by a tornado moving from the bathroom to the hallway?

How awesome would that be if Wikipedia‘s solicitation up top read “ won’t lie to you.  Our IT nerds need money for booze and drugs.”

I’ll give them way more money than I already have

The City of Austin should pick up recycling weekly between Thanksgiving through the first week of the New Year, rather than every two weeks. 

Get a fire pit and burn those Amazon boxes to free up space for your aluminum which is far more important to recycle.
