There used to be one used truck dealer near me who specialized in brodozing trucks - lift kits, tires and wheels, lights, grill guards, etc. Now there are two , and the original has added a second lot because their first wasn’t big enough.

After the last week’s trades, the currently unnamed NHL squad will replace the Mariners as Seattle’s fifth major pro sports team, following the Seahawks, Storm, Sounders, and Reign.

I understand they’re focus group testing some possible ads.

Does his wife know he retired? 

How did my Studebaker Snow Weasel Google alert miss that one?

I don’t think you can blame ticket prices entirely on the teams. Put the game in a stadium that people actually want to go to and that could change. I don’t know how much the Pac-12 was paid to hold the championship there, but it wasn’t enough.

It’s what you do when you’re preparing to be charged with a little “light treason.”

That’s what his gut tells him.

My wife fell asleep next to me on the couch. Now I have to explain why my laughing woke her up. 

GM didn’t invent this game. Boeing has received significant tax breaks/cuts/incentives in Washington State in response to threats about moving jobs. The legislature and governor has rushed to act each time, even calling a special session once. They’ve still continued to move jobs out of the state.

I smell a possible Ig Nobel prize!

All fine candidates, but can we have a write in campaign for Hue (not Gruden’s hue, the other guy)? 

The photographer did say they were just waving goodbye to their parents...

I approve.

Willingly choosing the seasick crocodile - that, as my 12 year old would say, is rekt. 

I haven’t. My 12 year old son did try Palm grubs in Ecuador. Every open market we passed by had bowls full of them. He didn’t go with the still moving ones, though. They skewered them and then cooked them over a fire. He described the flavor as pork like — and a little fatty. If I’d just seen them cooked, it might…

Termites were just earthy to me. Maybe what they're eating matters more than what they are? 

I had lemon ants straight off the leaf in Ecuador. The lemon flavor was nice, and the texture reminded me of tobiko. Termites were just earthy though. They’re supposed to be a great source of protein, but I'd take the ants over them any day.

For those who haven’t read the new rules, to ask a second or “follow-up” question, the questioner must first ask permission. Suggested phrasing is “Thank you sir (or ma’am), may I have another?”
