I was thinking; what would be the most obnoxious bandwagon combination of fandom? If someone told you he been a "diehard" Patriots, Yankees, Heat, and Blackhawks fan since "way back in the day", would you punch him in the face or just go straight to a full-on beating?
Holy crap. And the bit about the inheritance with a code to solve. It says there are nerds out there trying to find the money, but I wonder if anyone ever also tried to find out what happened to the footage she kept of the celebrities boinking starlets.
How about ZERO, pal? Sheesh. After I posted that, I realized that a bunch of prudes might give me some shit about it. Look, I'll agree that it wasn't my brightest moment, and if I could go back and change things, I would have, but it seemed like the best thing to do at the time: We were in one of the long, lonely stretches between Falfurrias and Edinburg, 20 miles from anywhere in either direction, and the rain just came out of nowhere. Traffic was still flowing at 65-70, and because of this, I didn't want to pull over and risk some asshole hitting my parked car. Like I mentioned in the original post, the combination of speed/wind and the sharp slope of the windshield made the water clear off of the glass pretty well. The third generation GM F-bodies have a 62-degree rake to their windshields, and there are lots of times when I don't use the wipers at all in light rain. Observe the windshield rake here: Spoiler The fourth generation F-bodies had a windshield that was only 6-degrees more laid-back. Observe: Spoiler Compare these to the angle of the much older second generation Trans Ams: Spoiler
Yankees, Cowboys, Rangers, Lakers. I have found those franchises not only have a habit of hiring assholes for athletes, but also cash for championships. And no matter where you go, you'll ALWAYS find their fans. I just noticed I just turned 38 years old. Somebody post that Tragically Hip song.
Which "Rangers" are you talking about, the hockey team (whom I know next to nothing about), or the Texas Rangers baseball team? Yeah, when you start getting old, little life events start slipping by the radar. Happy birthday, Gramps.
I truly believe that college sports are out of control in this country. The only thing I can figure is ESPN needs something to do on Saturdays during the fall. The fact that a nation stood by and let a coach rape children, then didn't absolutely hammer the assholes who claimed 'they were the victims' because they couldn't have exactly the sports program they wanted without caveats is absolutely mindboggling to me.
I used to have a nice old Jeep Wrangler, one of the models on which wipers stuck up in the windshield all the time. I used to remove them, arm and all, and put them in the back until it rained. The vehicle looked better without them, nothing in my field of vision all the time and wipers remained like new for years. As much rain as you can expect in the dessert, just take them off and put them behind your seat. Pop them back on when rain is in the forecast.
Because I know you all like stories about the insanity that is Florida http://www.orlandosentinel.com/feat...a-senate-sacrificing-goat-20151005-story.html
Have gotten? These commercials have been beautiful devices of the absurd for a long time? These are from several years ago: 2010 2011 2012 Not sure when it was from, but one of my favorites:
Here's a fun one out of Spokane; Court Docs: Centennial Trail assault suspect gives explanation for attacks http://www.khq.com/story/30191374/c...assault-suspect-gives-explanation-for-attacks
I've been happy as a clam that Berke Breathed has started up Bloom County again on his Facebook page. It's also been fun revisiting old strips. I was showing one the other day to Mr. Bell, saying how that same strip could have been published today for relevance. This morning, someone posted this one on Berke's page and it is extremely relevant:
I had a dream about Taylor Swift last night. I was yelling at her for nagging me and then I felt bad about it. Where the hell did that come from? I mean, why would I ever feel bad about yelling at Taylor Swift about anything?
