Never has an absolutely amazing synth, from a terrific song, from a pretty darn incredible band, been made to look so lame.

Seriously. 

If any moment called for a rocking keytar solo, it was that one.

What song was that from?

That's "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" by Journey, Jonathan Cain rocking the amazing and stupidly expensive Roland Jupiter-8 with black tape covering the brand name. Those things sell for over $30k today in any usable condition.

The fact that I was 99% sure what video that was from, and confirmed it be reading the dude's lips, definitely puts me in with the olds...

I Guess If You Say So GIF

Same. Same.

Do you remember hearing the DJ playing it while skating at the roller rink, too?

ARLA 32 is a high-purity urea solution (32.5% urea, 67.5% deionized water) used to reduce emissions in diesel engines. It's also known as DEF or AdBlue.

Piss is a slightly less pure solution of urea and water.

I go to a friend's house and start drinking beer. He has a great selection, from some good NA beers, to Oklahoma near beers, all the way up to double IPA's in the double digit alcohol percentages.

I've got to get my diesel truck inspected tomorrow, and the DEF tank is empty.

Assuming I did nothing but drink beer at my friend's house, what alcohol percentage, how much, and over what period of time would I need to drink, and when would I go piss, in order to more or less piss out the right ratio of urea to water?

Per this link, urine is about 9.3 g urea/liter, so a little less than 1%. So you need maybe 35 times as much volume. You will add a lot of salt which probably borks things up, but you do you. More beer probably won't help though, that just means you pee more water, and there is probably not much (if any) increase in the amount of dissolved solids, they just get diluted more.

Why do I see people parking sideways in their driveway?

My kids would whip into the driveway at an angle, blocking both sides of the drive with what they called "NASCAR parking" and thought it was hilarious. Then I'd make them get the fuck up and move their car so my wife and I could get out of the garage. They don't live at home anymore but will occasionally do it when they come visit. It still infuriates me and they still laugh about it.

I should not have drank so much whisky before working on the performance evaluations for direct reports.

Now they're either getting great reviews, or fuck yous, depending on how I'm feeling. 

 

And the manager evaluations are due tonight at 11:59:59.  (I should have started earlier)

This may be the worst snack I’ve ever had.

That should not be sold. Looks absolutely revolting. Should be posted in Vic’s food thread.

I'm sure they deserve whatever they get.

Why would you even buy that and think it would be good?
