The savings on gasoline alone pays for my Costco membership (I live a mile away). I’ll keep my membership till they deliver a tank of unleaded.

Seven consecutive Police Academy movies starting Feb. 1. Is this the month that Netflix pays me to subscribe?

Yes. I may be off by a buck, but I remember the NyQuil was about $7.99 for one and two for about $12. They do the same thing with 12-packs of Pepsi, lots of their snack foods and frozen foods, etc. Probably 50 to 100 things on this sort of sale at all times. Must buy two to get the savings -- which is maybe the price

What pisses me off is fucking Walgreens. Every special price they have is “Two for xxxx.” One is their jacked-up full price. I live alone. I DON’T WANT TWO BOTTLES OF NYQUIL, I WANT ONE. Assholes.

If it ain’t broke, don’t brick it.

If only Cop Rock were an NBC property...

But I might give it a month if they put up CPO Sharkey.

Democracy also dies when people aren’t willing to cough up a buck or two to support the people who are grinding to supply the spotlight, cheapskate.

Unless it reveals he has to wear diapers and a protective helmet, no, it does not. He is a skidmark on the underpants of American history.

A few years ago, I had an phone interview for a job one state over. About 20 minutes in, the hiring manager asked for my questions. I gave him two, and the third was “what is the salary range for this position.” He said “we’re not at a point in the process where we would discuss that.” I said “income is a main reason w

The maker of this particular game (Qwixx) also sells a “deluxe” version that comes with dry-erase scoresheets.

Guys, I do not disagree. Maybe I should have mentioned this is a newspaper company. I’d have left the biz two layoffs ago if I didn’t enjoy it so much.

I am salaried and “exempt” because I supervise six part-time employees (hiring, managing, scheduling, assigning, firing, etc). I was so happy when the Obama rule was announced because it would have meant a very substantial raise for me. HR gave me a letter telling me I would receive the raise. Then came the lawsuit,

BOMBSHELL”

At first I thought trying to survive in Darfur or Damascus or Lagos was akin to living in hell on earth, but here I come to find it’s actually a posh gym with hex plates.

I love the way that Prime Video shows the names of the actors in the current scene when you hit pause. (At least it does on my Roku.) Netflix, get busy!

No Colecovision??

I read this on the company shitter. When I was finished, I flushed 15 times.

“Penalties and Interest” was the line on the ledger of what I owe. Perhaps it’s all interest.

Fucking IRS. This year, they made a data entry error when punching in the info from my return and recorded my income as 31,000 less than what it was. They put a refund 4,300 larger than expected into my account. I called to report this. They required proof. I mailed them another copy of my form. They needed NINE weeks

A perfect stocking stuffer
