He also liked to trick or forcefully pull family members into the bathroom whenever he had just taken an impressively large or smelly sh!t. I kid you not. He was very proud of his smell.

These all seem so tame to me. In addition to the normal ‘stop embarrassing me’ stuff, my dad actually urinated on me once. I was #2ing one day and my dad comes in to the bathroom (we had zero privacy in my house - I used the bathroom while my mom was in the bathtub many times growing up - for the longest time I…

Until that day, the only holes Murray will see on the field this season are the ones in Bradford’s knee joint.

Pretty sure Google has enough lawyer and political power to not ever have to seriously deal with this.

I usually do $1 or so for takeout unless its a larger order, then 10%.

Really? I received several weird looks from people when I tried to leave a tip (not even a big tip) in Europe. Mostly in Germany and Prague and mostly at street stands. One lady seemed painfully concerned when I told her to keep the few kroner that was my change. It was like $.10 worth in USD and she acted like I was…

I don’t understand why huge companies still hold so tightly to the “customer is always right”. Like you’re going to notice if a few obviously insane customer start buying your overpriced coffee?

Yeah, I’m usually ‘whatever’ about stuff like that. Although I recently bit into a rock at what was previously one of my favorite mexican restaurants and they just shrugged about it. I mean, I wasn’t even asking for a free meal or anything, but their reaction was so indifferent, I just don’t know if I can go back.

Seriously. A lot of these would end up with me in jail rather than crying in private.

Exactly. Some vets even recommend prescribed fasting on occasion because it more accurately represents the cat’s natural eating behaviors.

I hope you have a job writing somewhere, because that was just fantastic.

You’re lucky. I didn’t even get to go hungry when my mom made inedible cube steaks or Hamburger Helper for the 4th time in a week.

about 5 years ago I switched to Sprint specifically because everyone I knew with Sprint had excellent service everywhere they went (even camping in pretty remote areas). For some reason, it hasn’t worked that way for me. I rarely even see the 4G pop up and often lose basic phone signal in not-that-remote places. WTF?

“Kitchen Dick Road” on the Olympic peninsula in WA is my favorite.

“Poopy piggy pushed real hard and PFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTT....”

Not going to pretend like I do anything quite this crazy, but I do so enjoy trying to run down steep, rocky, switchbacks. Your instincts just kind of take over and somehow your narrowly missing ankle-breaking rocks and barely getting traction on the edge of a steep bank. Its kind of exhilarating.

Definitely not just women. Friend of mine - a mostly rough and tumble veteran in his late 50s - is watching these marathons non-stop almost every time I visit. Its the kind of crap my dad used to watch too.

Don’t mean to be a wet blanket here, but you’re really spreading the definition of “sci-fi and fantasy” thin with a lot of these movies. How are movies like Spectre and Jem considered in this genre? I suppose you could call any non-documentary film a “fantasy”, but then the word becomes pretty meaningless and you…

The entire offseason (actually going back to mid-season last year) has been an exercise in denial. Like being on a plane and one of the engines quits.

I want to star this more than once.
