I always turn the nozzle upside-down after the pump is off to get that last bit of gas out of it before removing it from the car. Otherwise you’ve got a from few drops to a couple of ounces still in there. I paid for that gas, I’ll be danged if I let it just evaporate.

I had to double-check it wasn’t one of my younger brothers. That’s exactly why we never played board games in my house.

That’s why I like the cross-in-the-back or cobbler smock style aprons.
Yes, I look like a peasant out of a Bruegel painting or my granny, but they stay put and have pocketses.

Seriously, out of curiosity I looked at pictures of this girl and in every single one of them she’s got the tell-tale streaks of bad contouring.

“Tainted seed...” now I’ve got that song stuck in my head and HOLY CRAP, *THIS* IS THE VIDEO?

She’s just bitter because Ms. Markle doesn’t have to use drastic contouring to have facial features.

And his cheekbones. That robot has much better facial proportions overall.

What with having distinct cheekbones, he looks more like Jack Palance than Trump.

Oh! Or maybe Christopher Walken...now THAT would be a fantastic alternate audio track.

Yes, this gorgeous beast was dumber than even the “Simple Dog”.

Absolutely the dumbest dog I ever met was a purebred Collie. He was magnificently beautiful (show quality) and with a sweet disposition, but dumb as a bag of hammers. Meanwhile, the neighbor’s shelter “mostly” Collie was the doggy equivalent of a rocket scientist.

That’s why I love the idea of on-demand/semi-custom clothing businesses. If clothing is made on-demand it solves so many issues: no problem getting something in your size, the color you want is unlikely to be “out of stock”, and you can pick finishing details more to your liking...all without the retailer having to

My ipod is on shuffle at the moment and in a remarkable bit of synchronicity, this song started playing while I was scrolling through the story and watching the video...it went oddly well...

How do we know that about the anonymous ones?
