Such as the heat tabs they have in the Army. We made a variant of this stove where you (1) cut the can in half, (2) poke some holes in the bottom for ventilation, (3) bend over the top in a few places, as if you were making an ashtray. Voila! Now you can cook anything you like using your canteen cup as a pot.

That is, if you count watching the game on TV 'live.' What I'm really regretting was that I was too young to really appreciate having been in Wrigley Field during Ernie Banks' career. We lived in Waukegan in my pre-school days (late 1960s) and got to go to a Cubs game about once a summer, probably when the Braves…

Actually, they used to alternate WS home field advantage. That's fair.

Bud Selig is the worst thing to happen to baseball since the 1919 White Sox.

I know a guy who is seriously proud of his Polish heritage, and he'd really get a kick out of this. I mean, he's got the official JP II holy card pinned to the wall of his cube.

I've seen how BK makes burgers, and wonder why this process requires any humans at all. You put a stack of frozen burgers in one end, they get fed onto a conveyor one at a time, and cooked burgers come out the other end. It wouldn't be such an awesome feat of engineering prowess to add an assembler for buns,…

I tried false-zipping, and found out that the zip is also used to verify your credit card. Give the wrong one, and your transaction gets rejected.

Thank you. I'm a big fan of this guy they called Jesus of Nazareth. If more people followed his example (I mean for real, not just for show), I'm sure the world would be a better place.

Well, there's nothing wrong with being a better friend than your friends are. Who knows; maybe some of that will rub off.

Wow, font format carried over when you copy/paste. Didn't know that. If it bothers anyone, go ahead and nuke it.

What? No hate for fake convertible tops? All you have to do is Google it and laugh your ass off at what people really think about that dealer-added waste of money.

To advertise to the world that you are a certified redneck. Why else?

They're not unused rooms - the cats sleep in there.

Just long enough for someone to be killed, and the killer found and exposed by Mr. Poirot.

They don't have access to as much power, either.

I'll confirm that about certified used Toyotas. Had a couple of those - no problems here.

PBR was indeed Best Beer, all right. The original name of the company was Best Beer, founded by a German guy named Best in 1844.

I've been using a Gillette Sensor for more than 20 years. The thing about the Sensor is that the patents expired many years ago, and everybody and their crazy uncle makes blades for it. Most of the aftermarket blades suck, so I go with real Gillette blades. Not the Sensor Excel (I hate that rubber strip that does…
