A grocery store I was at once had a bucnh of posters with food related sayings. Most were inspirational or philosophical but they had the Hedberg joke on one of them. I guess it is philosophical in a way.

I was warned about the 50 and 5 lira scam when I went to Istanbul years ago. The 50 and the 5 lira bills looked similar so some taxi drivers would say you only gave them a 5. I think they have changed the appearance since then so they can’t pull that scam.

That sounds like a great idea for a frequent flyer program perk. At gold status you get one airport bar drink voucher per hour of delay, at platinum you get two drink vouchers per hour, etc.

Years ago at work, we got a color copier. Of course, people copied a dollar bill just to see how it looked. It looked good but obviously the paper wasn’t right so someone would easily know it’s a fake if they touched it. I always wondered if it would work in a vending machine. I was curious as to how the bill reader…

Last half season, I decided to watch the season premiere and the mid season finale. I figured there was so much filler that I would still be able to follow the show. For the most part I was able to make sense of the show. There was an old guy in Maggie’s car that was shot that I had no clue as to who he was. Since…

This is something I would like to see changed where the loser would have to pay the legal costs. In this case, it wasn’t as big of deal since HBO and Time Warner footed the bill rather than John Oliver. They likely have lawyers on staff for this sort of thing.

I’m figured someone would go with their own face like Valentino Rossi did.

That would be awesome. I would love to see that for other games as well. It’s interesting to visit the cites in the games and see how close they got with the game. I will mention that real life Constantinople/Istanbul is not as flat as AC depicted. It is quite hilly.

I would prefer to be trapped in Costco. They have food, booze, and electronics. They usually have some sort of furniture or mattresses too.

I’ve never run into a time when I couldn’t buy alcohol in Illinois. Even Wisconsin has some time restrictions, but that’s due to the Tavern League’s power. It’s annoying being in another state and having to go to 2 or 3 stores to get something I should be able to get in 1 store or not being able to buy on Sunday.

I have a dream that one day my truck will not be judged by the color of its bodywork but by its torque and best in class towing capacity.

I don’t care if they have them or don’t. I’m sure these women can find other modeling gigs, but what if they like doing this kind of work? Maybe some of them are fans and they like to go behind the scenes. I would love to be able to do something like that. Maybe giving fans the chance to replace the grid girls is…

Bart not being able to find a novelty license plate with his name hit close to home. Places never had my name either although they always had an alternate spelling of my name.

Marge:  You have the right to remain silent.

I loved the Airplane movies so I watched Kentucky Fried Movie. Catholic High School Girls in Trouble either kick started puberty or accelerated it.

It’s crazy how many people in our age group saw Robocop. I was either 10 or 11 when I saw it in the theater. Either my dad or a friend’s parent took a few of us to it. I guess it was somewhat marketed to kids with the associated toys. I guess it was a differnt time since I also saw other movies like Total Recall in…

One of the quirks in my Pontiac G8 was that the buttons in the center control stack were never swapped over. So buttons like power for the climate control were on the passenger side because that was the driver side in Australia. I don’t know if they were cheap, lazy, or simply forgot to move them.

I wonder how many pictures he had to look at before he found that one. “No that one isn’t gay enough. No this one goes too far. I don’t want to carry that around all day. This one is perfect. Let me type shame on it and I’ll head to the print shop.”

I’ve seen two in my lifetime. Once was in a sketchy neighborhood in Milwaukee late at night, so I didn’t stick around check it out. The second time was in an infield parking lot at the USGP at Indy. It pretty much stopped anyone walking by in their tracks.

When I lived in Milwaukee about 20 years ago, we got at least a foot of snow one day. There was a convertible nearby that had its roof caved in and snow filling the interior. I remeber seeing it a week later with parking rickets on it. Never found what happened to it.
