Ladies, I hate to be the one to break it to you after those lovely odes to the meat tube but hot dogs are Satan’s work.

We grew up with my dad, a Vietnam Vet, not being able to abide any kind of loud noises, crowds or startles. Know how kids jump out at their parents and go boo?! Yeah, he’d yell “incoming!!” every time. Poor Dad. What a mental scar.

I've loved him since he was Terry Tate, Office Linebacker (YouTube it - they are priceless).

Goats are the reason the sound word “sproing!!” was invented.

Never!!!!

We used Truecar.com and it was absolutely painless. Went to one of those dealerships that have multiple brands (Kia, Hyundai, Subaru, etc). Went for a Kia, came home with a Subaru. We’ll use them again in a heartbeat. No haggling, no pain. Just test drive, ask questions, “will you meet this price” (since our appt was…

:Ahem:, my obscure knowledge learned in a local community college class is coming in handy. Depending on when your state was surveyed, older states will have used a metes and bounds survey type.

It waited until the end of November to drop its leaves. In Michigan. So it was either snowy, icy but always, always COLD. How do you rake 50 metric tonnes…

:looks around: How many stars am I allowed to give? All of them? Okay then!

MONSTERS, that’s who.

You can’t cross chocolate and raisin streams

You should give his books a shot. I really like how he wrote. You can hear his voice in your head as you read it. Good stuff.

Actually, Michigan would probably turn and request asylum to be Ontario Part B. We’re close neighbors anyway and have the whole ‘eh’ thing down in our vocabulary.

If you claim you are Christian, then you are Christian. There is no other test to verify if someone is a “real” Christian
