I don’t like convenience stores, although in fairness we don’t have any standalone stores like Wawa, Cumby’s or Sheetz. The ones here are corporate, over priced and have a small selection. There’s a Buc-ee’s up the highway and it’s worth the drive for a warm boudin kolache or some smoked turkey, but I wouldn’t say I’m…

“Who has two million pounds of sweet potatoes just lying around?”

I have a weird (and as yet, undiagnosed) issue where plain water in sufficient quantities causes quite a bit of nausea, so I do not drink much water by itself. Generally 8-12 oz a day at the most. The colder it is, the more it upsets my stomach. It’s to the point now that a 16 oz chilled bottle of water, consumed…

Congratulations on your weight loss, that’s quite an accomplishment! 

I don’t have the patience to wait four to six months for something this good!

Perhaps I’m just in a particularly grumpy mood today but this sort of hype over a hamburger really boggles my mind. I honestly think that NONE of the trendy fast food places are as good as people let on. Not In-N-Out, not Culver’s, and not even Whataburger. Don’t get me wrong; I like Culver’s custard and many other…

In fairness, sitting in your car for 12 hours for a burger is a) much cheaper and b) much less COVID-y.

All this quiz did is make me hungry for tacos and whoopie pies.

I feel sorry for whatever underpaid and probably illegally-hired housekeeper these people employ, it’s a full time job just dusting the fake plants.  Those things collect dust like nobody’s business.

Big Lots is how I was introduced to Indian food. Seriously! There are no Indian restaurants for well over an hour’s drive, but seeing some Made-in-India shelf stable sides at BL at a good price got me to try some, and I was hooked.  I probably would have never noticed the pencil-thin Indian foods section at my local…

Clearly this was just a logistics goof-up. The Four Seasons needed to order a half ton of manure for fertilizing lawns, and Rudy Giuliani was delivered by mistake. These things happen.

I doubt we’re going to find any trucking experts on this site. All I know is this is a good example of how deregulation can be a bad thing. I’m old enough to remember when trucking was a tightly regulated industry with government oversight requiring a certain amount of training. Now any moron like myself can take a cra…

PICKING MY NOSE IN PUBLIC IS MY RIGHT AND YOUR SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT CAN’T MAKE ME STOP!

2012 or 2013 for me. Last time I bought some sort of pastrambomination from a truck stop. I used a $5 gift card to offset some of the cost and still felt ripped off.

This looks like the most amazing Pixar film I will never see because I will never have Disney+ just to watch one movie.

If they let me stand out front in the official Trump uniform — camo war cosplay getup and holding an AR-15 type rifle, with the authority to use it — I’d do it in a heartbeat just to shove their idiocy back in their faces.  What are they gonna do, start shooting up a Target over a mask?  

I’m playing of those games on my mobile device that thrusts ads at your regularly if you want to progress at all, and this “John Goodman, but as a thumb” Slotomania ad has been playing dozens of times. It is weird the first time. After 11 more viewings, it’s completely and utterly nightmarish. But, it’s like a wreck…

I have several “smart” appliances in my home now, but not because I wanted them, they are just getting to be so ubiquitous you can’t avoid them. The washer/dryer combo I wanted only came with wireless features; TVs in good size and quality are impossible to find without smart-enabled crap; even my new gas range is…

Bravo for the “smart dog” quip. That’s gold.

The memories the comments brought back of the Wendy’s buffet are so great! I used to eat at one in suburban Birmingham* as a kid, and never really liked it (I’m a lifelong hater of the buffet) but thinking back to the tacos and the buttery “garlic toast” and the chocolate pudding that always seemed to have a skin on…
