The thing that I think confuses some people is that only two beaches are closed. The municipal beaches are open, but the towns charge a hell of a lot more for badges than the state does for parking. NJ.com had an awesome slideshow of Island Beach Park being totally empty and Seaside next to it extra cramped.

I am learning this, I just started fishing two months ago! I’ve seen sunfish hit lures that were almost as big as them!

I agree about the one owner/low mileage issue. My grandma sold me her 2000 Altima in 2005 with only 5,000 miles on it. The car had all sorts of starter issues, and then later the battery exploded like a Galaxy Note.

I said this about bluegills the other day after I caught the same one twice in a row, but sunfish (and bass are part of the sunfish family) are like the labradors of the water. Everything is edible unless proven otherwise.

I think that depends on the Outback market. People who buy an Outback because they don’t want an SUV and want some decent perks, yea. People who like the idea of owning a car that makes you look like you spend your weekends hiking state parks with your adorable dog aren’t going to buy a Buick instead. ;)

I understand. My grandma lived in Lakewood, which is basically being slowly choked to death by encroaching Hassidim. She still works at the Haemishe Bakery there.

We have. He was a rescue, he has bbs and a bullet in him (yea, that was a fun call from the vet when they did an x-ray and found a bullet in him), and he’s incredibly sweet to humans, just skittish around dogs he doesn’t know. It’s sort of remarkable that a dog who was clearly shot at repeatedly has such a deep love…

EXACTLY! We had a neighbor with a rotating pack of chihuahuas for a while (it was always unclear if there were 4 and she took care of a few extra, or if she rotated how many were out at any given time), and she appeared to only have leashes for two of them. They would constantly tear off down the street after me while…

THANK YOU. My dog has issues with other dogs, and it’s one that has popped up as he’s gotten older (and his eyesight has gone way downhill).

I agree!

I swear when I worked at Borders 17 years ago we had some sort of summer special drink that was espresso and Coke.

Oh totally...but I somehow doubt anyone called Sir Patrick’s mother a urinal while he was doing it, which takes away some of the fun... ;)

It’s entirely possible Megyn Kelly tore him a new one for an hour and made him look like the lunatic he is.

If we’re trading animal poison control tips, I also suggest hoarding those infant tylenol syringes-perfect for both shooting Tylenol into a sick infant’s mouth AND forcing a dog to ingest peroxide so he can yak all over your backyard.

It could be worse...shooting the boot is a common tradition after rugby games. Imagine that instead of a sweaty racing shoe, that was a sweaty, muddy rugby shoe...and you were surrounded by friends singing obscene songs about your family at you until you chugged the shoe.

I had a cyclist hit my car once. He was riding along the shoulder and swung abruptly into the road. My wife was driving and had the good instincts to immediately swing into the opposing lane and slam on the brakes. The biker proceeded to continue his leftward drift, hitting the corner of my car, flipping onto the hood…

I had a rental Veloster once. I was super excited to drive it until I hit the highway, and it accelerated so slowly I got worried I’d left the parking brake on.

Yes, and he felt the need to clarify that by pointing out that as the CEO he would not be sleeping with his employees. Which he then punctuated by hashtagging a complaint about that.

It’s important to read the full letter, because what makes the whole thing sort of skeevy is when he explained that since you can’t screw your subordinates, he (Travis) will be celibate on the trip, which he followed up with a #CEOLife #FML.

This might be due to the repetition of my son having watched it approximately 10 billion times, but I kind of agree about Cars 2. If you ignore the many questions about how the “Cars” universe exists, it’s a pretty fun satire of spy movies and mostly entertaining.
