And then there are those kids that are naturally born with one. A few months ago, the teacher asked my son’s class “Who knows where else epithelial cells come from?”

My son waved his hand furiously...and upon being called upon, exclaimed “MY BALLS!”

Best part?  My son goes to a private Christian school.

Heh.  Spend a few days @ our house in our neck of the woods and then tell me that.  I ASSURE you my son needs a shower (at least, if not soap) every night.

I’d say ‘training’ in general helps someone.

My dad and I used to wrestle all the time when I was a kid...and I dreaded being put into a half/full Nelson because it meant I was @ his mercy for a few seconds while he tickled the living crap out of me. LOL

Fast forward to my first fight...I’d never been IN a fight and…

Indeed. I drove like a turkey wasn’t there...and got its head stuck in the visor of my old ‘95 F250.  Pulling that sucker out was tons of fun.  Picture a early 30's dude kneeling on the hood, pulling a furiously gobbling turkey out by his body/neck, having the @#%$ beat out of me by its wings/feathers, while my wife…

Totally agree. My son was in the hospital for 2 days after swallowing some magnets (he wanted to ‘see if they’d stick to his braces’ - eyeroll).

Our cost?  $36 after some negotiation.  My wife’s a nurse, and she’s a freakin’ Nazi when it comes to bartering and negotiating.  LOL

One big side note - the game changes completely if whatever critter (aside
from deer - they’re always a bit crazy) you come across has its offspring
with it. For example:

- where I live (in the Ozarks), there’ve been more than a few times that the
ONLY reason I’ve escaped damage to my truck is because my reverse driving
gam…

But can I treat potatoes as little radishes?  Huh???

False.  My vacuum has a cord, and I do not want this deal.  :P

I’m sure they’re brokenhearted.

I was fine up until I read that Hurk had a child of his own.

I can’t, I just can’t.  *collapses on floor laughing uncontrollably*

While it’s not a QNAP, I recently bought a Synology DS218j, I think it is.  It’s just a 2 bay, but we don’t have a ton of data.  In any event, I’ve been pleased as hell with it.

1. Solidly middle-class.
2. Just got our tax returns back.
3. Got more $ back than last year.

Sorry.  *shrug*

My steps for ordering so people don’t judge me:

1.  I really don’t give a sh*t what Starbucks baristas think of me.

As a non-librarian who has been to a ton of libraries, I am telling you....tons of libraries DO want our books.

Yes, I get they don’t all want our books, especially cheap ratty books; but it ain’t breaking my heart if they DON’T want our books. I just waltz in and say “Hey, I’m about to donate/burn/etc. these, and…

Fairly conservative, though I disagree with Trump on more than a few things...and the entire thing essentially looked like political argumentative shenanigans, except this time via prime-time television.  Complete waste of time.

HAVE one? I can’t find mine - totally jealous.

I lucked out because my Dad was friends with someone who worked in the company, so I basically got mine for free with about 30 cartridges.  :)

All I had was an Atari 2600 and a Bally Astrocade.

Shameless plug:

I’m a big fan of these.  I’ve probably bought $80 worth of Eneloop batteries and chargers since about 2010 (when these were Sanyo, I believe), and it’s saved me easily $500 worth of batteries over the years.  They last a LONG time, hold a charge longer than advertised, and are well worth the money.

Well yeah. Much as I like to think I’m the quintessential red-blooded ‘Merican guy who should have a truck because every guy should have a truck (LOL), I’m ACTUALLY the guy who’s not going to own a truck just because. I didn’t own one full time until a) my commute shrank (negating the need for phenomenal gas mileage)…

Y’know, this one may be kind of odd. I own a 2013 F150, and I specifically bought it because I need the extra space and hauling power (I occasionally tow a 30' camper, and there’s no way in hell the Ranger would tow that).

With that said, there are a LOT more people than I thought who don’t tow that much, and are…
