    77% goddamn. I wonder how many of the people who got one are actually going to turn it in.

    I got one of the little airplane bottles earlier. It's not a match.

    I guess you could just water it down and stretch it out like they had intended but that defeats the purpose I guess.

    I reluctantly celebrated Cinco de Mayo by taking the day off work. My neighbors are Mexican and they are HUGE on fiestas. What they'll usually do is wait until the whole neighborhood goes to work and then pull all 7 of their cars out on to the street and take up all the parking spaces so they have room for all their guests.

    Parking is already at a premium around here and I've got a shit load of vacation time, so I decided to thwart their little plan and make sure I have a place to park.

    You've got to put up some passive aggressive signage.

    Get yourself a poncho and some cigarillos and go to town:

    If they have 7 cars how many mexican's do they have living there? 370?


    Also it is piss ass raining and cold. I feel like this is what Seattle is like 2/3rds of the year and I know why there are so many serial killers from that part of the country.

    Toyota is blowing all my past experiences with Mexicans. Y'all know: about 10 in a sedan or pickup. I assumed that was some kind of unspoken rule.

    If by "defeats the purpose" you mean basically getting a second bottle of Bombay Sapphire for free, then yeah.

    Fuck if I know. A lot?

    One of them has a Raptor and has no idea how to park it. They usually put it 4 feet from the curb and 14" off my front bumper. Then another one pulls in with their Escort like 2 feet from my back bumper. So every morning I have to get around a very wide Raptor that's asshole to my front bumper while not hitting their other car that's kissing my back bumper. One of these days I'm going to snap and just go forward/backward again and again. In 4WD.

    That goes without saying. I've got enough power in 4 low for several vehicles.

    Awesome old card...

    Hal Trosky was Mike Trout in the 1930's. This is his 1935 card after his rookie year in '34 when he hit .330 35 142.

    Turns out I have a large amount of fluid in my brain. It's now a matter of how many surgeries rather than if they gotta do them. And apparently it's like 50/50 the brain tumor came back, because with all that fluid they don't know with the MRI.

    I just got the news while my wife is asleep. I don't know how to tell her.

    There's now a solid chance my life has a defined end point. I'm not sure how I'm gonna process this.

    I saw the brain scans. I'm torn. On one hand I imagine I'll recover, but on the other hand I kinda wanna post the pictures of them just for humor so we can laugh at me still being alive in spite of all that.

    It looks nasty.

    Jesus, dude. It's strange, this morning on the way to work it was pouring down rain and there were tornado warnings and sightings of funnel clouds and I decided that even if I was being melodromatic, I still pulled over and hung out in a grocery store till it blew over because the last thing I wanted was for me to die because some tornado snatches me up during rush hour traffic of all fucking things. I guess that at least exhibits some level of control over my mortality. I really can't imagine what you are going through. You can't exactly just pull over and hang out at a grocery store till it blows over. Fuck.

    Well, we're going to get a LOT fewer suggested threads bumped around here, that's for sure.

    Seriously, though, 'Nerds, that sucks. You said surviving the first time was miraculous - maybe you'll get a two times bonus.

    I'm so sorry. Maybe you can get a shunt placed? My twin has one and its doing fine. And yea I know that helps the hydrocephalus but not the tumor.

    I hate neuro symptoms with brain tumors. They're so subtle and if you're not looking for them and being paranoid about them they're so easy to miss.

    If you don't mind me asking, what kind of tumor is it? Maybe if you get a good surgeon and its in a good location they can scrape that shit out of you, then with a little radiation and chemo you'll be on your way.

    The best brain surgeon in the country is in SD, name is Bob Carter. If you need another surgery go to him, he is the best, no doubt.

    Sending positive thoughts your way
