I kind of wonder if they made the shirts to troll people at the convention and make a “dumb conservatives” joke, but it’s just so badly done I can’t help but think they’re really that stupid.

Right? Shouldn’t one of those be a bear? 

I loved Soiled Merkin’s first two albums, but it all went downhill after the second percussionist left. 

I’ll tell you why people say that: it’s because if you back into a car or a light post or bump someone at a slow speed in a car with big metal bumpers, the bumper gets a scratch and maybe a little dent in it. Doing that in a modern car often results in a cracked bumper cover that half falls off and looks way more…

You know, I recall a lot of people saying the same thing about Romney, another man from a privileged, powerful family. The rationale was the same - “he started a business, and knows what it’s like for us”. Because starting a financial firm with seed money from your employer is exactly the same as trying to run a…

Cheap to modify too, if that’s your thing. 

Whatever the little black trim thing is on the orange one also mimics the cab corner rust that was standard on the originals! 

I got that when I used to read the Labelscar blog. There were a few old malls (I don’t think they did abandoned buildings, usually just ones that were mostly empty), and several looked just like the now-dead mall in my town. Very early 90's architecture that never got updated (lots of brass, teal, etc.).

Only when the Cubs are playing there. 

What appears to be red overspray on the hood prop worries me as much as the joke in the floor. 

My mother still has a Mrs. Fields’ cookbook, and it still gets referenced.

I don’t know why, but for all my time working in a mall (in a RECORD STORE! I never fail to tell people this) I mostly remember eating two places: a gyro place that I’m pretty sure wasn’t a chain, and The Great Steak And Potato Place. And that’s because of all the stuff available to me - Sbarro, an A&W, a Chinese…

A store I worked at years ago had an agreement with a local pizza place that was a block or two down from us, the owner gave us a nice discount any time we ordered pizzas for the store. It was pretty good pizza, too. We got a new general manager, and for some reason she decided we couldn’t get pizza from them anymore…

I call the crew cab short bed truck the “Suburban Dad Specification”. Much more common around here to see one with a bunch of kid’s crap in the back seats instead of anything in the bed.

Is it weird that I kept saying “Oh, I’ve read that one. Oh yeah, I’ve read that one too. And that one...”? 

I wonder if it would work with plain seltzer or unflavored LaCroix. I like the idea of fizzy coffee.

I’m with Pining, in that I generally don’t drink hot drinks. That said, iced coffee is really easy to screw up. You obviously can’t just pour hot coffee over ice, and taking a pot and putting it in the fridge (to me at least) sometimes makes it super bitter. I’ve never really gotten the hang of making it at home,…

Way back when I worked at Border’s Books, our cafe had a soda fountain (they got rid of fountain drinks with the Seattle’s Best change, I believe), and they used to make something called “The Bolt”. This was a large fountain regular Coke with a big freshly pulled shot of espresso dumped in it. The cold pop cooled the…

This is offensive to both penii and men named Richard.

I have done very specific ones:
