Does it wake you up?

And that was a BS call. They changed the outcome of the game with that call.

Griff · 12-17-2017, 09:16 PM

No because we don't wind that f*cker!

Pete can't sleep with it going.

Today I learned that the band Golden Earring took their name from an instrumental by British band The Hunters, "Golden Earrings".

Watching the PA Farm Show Fleece to Shawl competition in which is teams take fleece and card, spin, and weave it into a shawl in a set time limit, I didn't care for the winner. Now they judge on uniform dimensions, knots, and the three spinners of each team a producing the same size yarn, etc. But I didn't like the looks of the winner. The crowd vindicated my taste at the auction.
#1 brought $675
#2 brought $900
#3 brought $900
#4 brought $750
#5 the asshole announcer was taking over the auctioneer.
#6 brought $725

Today I learned, again, that some days, it just isn't worth betting out of bed.

"Good Morning, World! And isn't it a lovely morning?"

"Fuck you! You get nothing but shit today!" Slap!

Gravdigr · 01-11-2018, 02:08 PM

FukkitI'mdrinking. I just needed an excuse, anyway.

"Fuck you, Day."

"Yebbut, fuck you first."

Aaaand I'm sizzlin'.

fargon · 01-11-2018, 02:12 PM

You need a bowl.

Gravdigr · 01-11-2018, 03:48 PM

Yebbut, I wanted a bottle!

I now know this day is a conspiracy.

The ƒucking liquor store is closed.

The ƒucking liquor store is closed.

Why is the ƒucking liquor store closed?!

No! I don't like the other liquor store, and I don't like the shithead that owns it, either. So, it looks like Ima drive to the next damn town or Ima be dry today.

Aaaaaaand I'm sizzlin'.

Although it's becoming comical as to just how wrong today can go. I guess we'll see. Not much choice, is there?

If I go to the Aston Burger King and order a chicken sandwich, fish sandwich, fries, and onion rings it's $14.88. But at the Brookhaven Burger King a couple miles away the same order is $3 cheaper.

Today I Learned about the 1976 Chowchilla Kidnapping, in which 26 school children and their bus driver were kidnapped from Chowchilla, CA, and held in a quarry in an underground moving van after being driven around in two vans for 11 hours. After several hours, the bus driver and several of the children escaped and found a quarry security guard, who called police.

Most interesting to me, was the observed impact of the event on the children:

Quote:

A study found that the kidnapped children suffered from panic attacks, nightmares involving kidnappings and death, and personality changes. Many developed fears of such things as "cars, the dark, the wind, the kitchen, mice, dogs and hippies,"[18] and one shot a Japanese tourist with a BB gun when the tourist's car broke down in front of his home.[19] Many of the children continued to report symptoms of trauma at least 25 years after the kidnapping, including substance abuse and depression, and a number have been imprisoned for "doing something controlling to somebody else."

I got a Bacon King at the Spring City Burger King today. It was over $8! Just the one sammich!

I was desperate, but still.

(When looking for rentals, our rule in Brookhaven is, we are not going to live anywhere south of the Giant.)

xoxoxoBruce · 01-27-2018, 06:37 PM

That doesn't leave very much. You do realize Edgemont runs NW to SE.

Undertoad · 01-27-2018, 07:13 PM

There are some fine neighborhoods back there. It's just hard to know where to stop. The transition to hood is really ambiguous on that road.

(Also my commute gets worse as home moves too far south)
