You ever have something in your life turn up missing and you can't figure out where it went? Has that something ever been an installed, fully-functional fucking fire hydrant? Weird. Then I Googled "stolen fire hydrant" and stealing fire hydrants is common enough that there is a law against scrap yards possessing fire hydrants.
Enh. My buddies got drunk once and stole a mailbox. It happens. I'm surprised they managed to get the fire hydrant off without triggering the water, though. Clever.
While on the phone with the city in which this happened I learned that hydrants are designed to breakaway when hit by a car and not cause an enormous geyser. The guy I talked to said another explanation is that drunk drivers hit them and take them to hide their accident. If it was a reported accident, it would have been repaired.
The cold weather is making my dogs dumb. They're barking and yowling and hollering. I love them but SHUT THE FUCK UP. Good morning y'all.
Dalmatian peed on it Can confirm this it true. Sometimes, we (civil engineers) have to specify bolt on manhole covers in areas prone to flooding, so the manholes (and therefore the sewer system) isn't overwhelmed with stormwater during heavy rains. I designed a system for a particular neighborhood several years ago where the County had grant funding to do the project. They could only do it in phases, in order to request funding to cover it all. These types of projects are new sewer in old neighborhoods with failing or old septic tanks. So, a lot of the time, we put them in alleys behind the houses, instead of out in the street. By the time I designed phase two, the County requested we specify bolt on covers - not because they were prone to flooding, but because people were stealing and selling the covers for scrap. People steal storm drain covers and grates, too.
NITWIT ALERT: The new Eminem single is just too good. I'm spoilering it, so if you hate rap, just move along. I put my thoughts on it in the Hip-Hop thread, but I feel like people don't go there anymore and I feel its my civic duty to make sure everyone listens to it, cause its outrageous. End to end fire and perfect guest appearances. Spoiler
I second this, its an incredible track. If any of you want a break from your dusty 80s rock, this is the track for you.
Sonos is one beautiful system, it is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
I am plastered on Sierra Nevada. It's my weekend, mofucka. I have to drink alone because no one else has Tuesday as their Friday.
Anyone else ever sit around with their headphones in and then realize they aren't listening to anything? I wonder why I do that. Spoiler Do you think she knows? How can you not really? And is she...applying for a job? Definitely the appropriate attire for that.
Beer the fifth. I have no gameplan. My dog is looking at me with contempt because he knows that I won't be running with him tonight.
Are you kidding? I'm fucking hammered beyond belief... on a Tuesday night... and am texting all sorts of "wtf-were-you-thinking" shit to everyone in my contacts list. Today is a good day.
I love ginger ale. And I love cranberry juice. So I picked up a six pack of Leinenkugel's Cranberry Ginger Shandy and it is titties. I've been watching Twin Peaks. This is a weird-ass show, but David Duchovny's guest appearance is fuckin' great.
I'm in the latter half of the second season. I figured I'd watch it so I'm ready for the new season in 2016.
There is a 7 year old kid *freaking* the fuck out here across from me. I had to get a glucose test today so I had to drink a little bottle of orange stuff that looks like pop and this kid is absolutely throwing a fit that he doesn't get pop to drink. It's not even 8 am yet. His mother looks haggard.
What the fuck Don Lemon: http://gawker.com/don-lemon-gives-cosby ... 499698/all Is there another racial draft soon, or do we have to release him outright
