Q: What do they do to parsley farmers that don’t pay their bills?

...never throw the first punch. But ALWAYS throw the last.

As one who was bullied mercilessly, I learned some ways to get them to stop, but it always ends with the same thing: You have to have the last word. It ends up being how you get there that can change. Here are a few things I did:

There’s been decades of research on this and several curriculums developed for elementary and middle school kids. I’m not plugged into this field so someone else might have more, but my vague understanding is that (1) there isn’t much you can tell the person being bullied other than things will get better, and to give…

Exactly this. It’s the perfect storm:

Usually my feeling is “I just had that, I want something different now.” But it’s just two of us and some things you can’t really make for just two people. Roasting a 3 pound chicken, for instance. Fortunately, Mrs Lizardo likes to have that stuff for lunch and isn’t as picky about it as I am.

Soup legitimately gets better a day or two later. I also keep a pack of tortillas in the fridge at all times. They stay good forever, and can be used as a vehicle for nearly any leftovers.

Good news: They’re not getting rid of anything good.

Dude, just stop. Even if you make it run, you will die trying to off road this pile of weakened rust that will disintegrate on the first pothole.

Once upon a time on Jalopnik, the answer was always Miata. Seems now that David Tracy has overtaken Miata. ‘Something something David Tracy’ is always the answer.

“Not-so-running: 1977 Dodge Tioga RV”

I’d stick a Jeep badge on it and see if I could sell it to David Tracy.
