I’m sure you’re joking but we’ve been getting down to NOFX for over 20 years, so... joke’s on me?

We have this into our neighborhood as well and I see people disregard it ALL THE TIME. Also, when are we going to invent the U turn signal? So that you know the person on the inside lane isn’t going to suddenly smash his brakes halfway across the intersection and flip the car around? It impedes traffic so much and

I think people who buy the “boring” neutral colors like beige and tan tend to be the type who believe that they’ll “blend in” on the highway so they’ll never get a speeding ticket. Also, I have flat-out seen dealerships lower prices on odd colored cars because no one wants them. The black and white and silver models

My fitness tracker (the Misfit) was bought AFTER I started doing more activity and basically I wanted it acknowledged - if I’m walking 10,000 steps I want someone (or something) to notice, dammit! Mine is waterproof so I can wear it in the pool (bad back = water-based exercise) and since the entry price point for my

I remember these from elementary school. Was shocked to see them still in use in our local parks and pools. Maybe a retro comeback? I don’t mind the individual pieces BUT the ones I’ve encountered are horribly thin and so it is NECESSARY to use multiple pieces. It just defeats whatever cost savings there may be...

My Karmann Ghia was bright orange (when my stepmom originally bought it in ‘71) and was ugly as hell. Luckily, my stepbrother’s friend’s dad owned an autobody shop and let them play around with painting their own cars, so he painted it aqua blue when it was handed down to me. But seeing as how they were teenage boys

I don’t know if it was a trend born from the Italians but in the 80's there was a hair color treatment that was created called “cellophane” which was, essentially, a temporary-ish dye that you’d put over your natural hair color (or whatever color you already had) that ran the gamut of colors, including clear. The

In this particular state, it’s not surprising that they’re rushing this because so many innocent people are sitting behind bars. Particularly in this EXACT prison Damien Echols spent 18+ years on death row before the court agreed to acknowledge that he was, in fact, innocent (as proven by the evidence in the case - he

What’s striking to me is that there are already known lethal cocktails that are painless. In states like Oregon, which has “right to die” laws, people with terminal illness can get these medications from their doctors. I’m not saying that I agree with the death penalty and these executions in particular; but if a

My neighborhood was built on top of an ancient Aztec ant mound or something and if you drip a Popsicle on the sidewalk, you’re in for 90 days of ant hell. That’s been the thing holding us back about hummingbird feeders (we have a lot of h-birds around here) because I just don’t need to deal with the sticky congealed

Our friends have a bird feeder that specifically holds this type of blocked seed thing - the feeder looks like a cage. But basically the birds and their tiny beaks are able to easily get pieces off and eat them happily but the squirrels can’t get to it. Although they did have a rat that could reach in there, so...

The aversion to biting/chewing apples at least makes sense to me. One of my co-workers has a food aversion to BREAD. She once gave a vague explanation about the way it feels when you bite through a sandwich and your teeth touch (isn’t that just chewing?) that creeps her out and I just can’t wrap my brain around it.

FWIW cats are considered “feral” animals because they can hunt and fend for themselves, even in urban environments. Dogs are not because in general, they can’t. They scavenge for food in trash cans or pull a Lady and the Tramp deal on the Italian Restaurant, but they can’t 100% care for themselves.

When I was in this situation, before even discussing it with the boyfriend I went to the leasing office of our apartments and told them that I was leaving and needed to be removed from the lease. It’s fairly typical and as long as someone is residing there/paying the rent they don’t really care much. So basically I

Even if you’re not a fainter, let the phlebotomist know that you’re a light weight. That is a routine part of their job - dealing with scared people and children - and they won’t think less of you. For example, I am not scared but I have deep veins that like to move (*hurk*) so I know that the new girl isn’t going to

I hope that from now on, every woman in every meeting with him starts eating a banana.

True, BUT he didn’t say that he wouldn’t dine without a chaperone, he specifically said his WIFE. Which means that matters of importance could not be discussed (she is not privy to discussions of national security) which includes mundane business stuff about running the government (down to ordering office supplies).

Some fast food chain (maybe Del Taco?) once had a whole campaign around this. They called them “bagglers” - the french fry stragglers at the bottom of the bag and why they’re the best because just when you thought you were out of fries, BOOM! Bagglers!

I used to work for attorneys who always had a few of these MLM schemes going on the side. They were the top of the pyramid, of course, so they would be the only ones making any real money. Anyway, I was only 19 or something when I worked for them and I remember even back then thinking it was too much work/hassle for

I know a LOT of 30-something dads who need a ‘head change’ after work but don’t want to be drunk around their kids. So they’ve switched to mellow weed (mostly in the vapor form, like the oil cartridges) and found that they get that high they’re looking for all while being fun and enjoying stuff like playing Legos for
