My mother used to fold a paper towel a couple of times, wrap it around the oil bottle and then hold it in place with a rubber band. It tames the inevitable oil drips.

That is a great “are you f-in kidding me” picture.

2 weeks notice, that’s it. It’s the norm and if your company is one of those that walks you out the door as soon as they know you’re leaving (and that happens quite often) you’re only out 2 weeks pay. Consider how long of a notice a company would give you if they were terminating your position.

Watch the first few minutes of the film Selfless. At one point, rich guy Ben Kingsley heads home to his gold covered penthouse. The entire room is a hideous display of ostentatious and tasteless wealth. It looks like what a perpetually poor high school dropout would design if you suddenly gave them a billion dollars. G

Wiseguy on Prime?!? I wonder how that’s going to look since it was probably shot on low-res videotape. But it’s well worth watching with its season long arcs - one with a new Kevin Spacey.

if you’re going to cut up your spaghetti into tiny pieces, maybe you should just start with another form of pasta?

I’ve been in a couple of those really lopsided split the bill situations and you really just need to stand your ground. Stand up, say the wife and I ate $20 with tip, put the 20 on the table and walk away. Only a group of assholes would insist you pay way beyond what you consumed. And in that case, you really don’t

You can’t harass our female employees, only we can harass our female employees.”

I have an Aldi and a Lidle near me and I find it amusing that pretty much the only name brand item you can find in either store is mayonnaise. Sure there’s a store brand there, but it’s right next to Helmans or Dukes.

FYI, Lidl is now carrying their own brand of Everything Bagel seasoning and I think it’s even better than TJ’s.

I just can’t get past the fact that visiting Disney World costs several hundred dollars a day per person. I have a hard time enjoying myself when I think that every minute there is costing me a dollar.

You need to find out the secret reboot sequence so you can reboot the entertainment system while driving. I have to do that occasionally in my 2016 Mazda.

Part of me thinks FY to the thank you note since very few companies nowadays have the decency to even call you back to say you DIDN’T get the job. They just ghost you.

Nobody NEEDS baseball. If all the “fans” would boycott their team for a single season this would all change.

The only reason I can think of to slice a bagel that way is if you’re trying to consume as much cream cheese as possible. Otherwise this is just plain wrong.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Tropic Thunder, but I seem to recall we’re supposed to be offended by Downey in blackface.

For me, it was like somebody flipped a switch in me when I looked at my newborn daughter. Up till that moment I was kind of apprehensive about the whole fatherhood thing.

I put all my “internet of things” device on my guest network at 2.4ghz. I didn’t want devices that probably have security holes on my main network with our real computers and data. I used 2.4 simply because some of the automation devices don’t work at 5ghz

I have to remind my daughter we’re not poor, we just don’t carry cash. She’ll often announce, right before getting on the bus, that she needs $5-10 for something or other at school and we’ll end up having to dig through numerous coat pockets to find bills and change to make that up. We keep reminding her we need 24
