He’s a wiz at sucking up, mostly.

My ears are very sensitive and a lot of things sound much louder to me than to anyone else. Screechy and shrill noises are especially painful. I will never set foot in a sports bar again, that’s for sure.

Soundtrack for M*U*L*E is one of the best ever.

Didn’t want to spend the time testing 300+ pens to see if they worked.

You guys are just now figuring this out? Our 45th anniversary was in September and we have NEVER gone out for a Valentines meal on the actual day. Expensive, crowded, and usually inferior food, ew. We just pick some nearby day and enjoy ourselves without the crowds and price gouging.

When my son moved out he left behind something like 300 old pens. Some were even still in the packaging. And even he couldn’t explain why he had them all. We picked a few nice ones and threw the rest away.

Oh, that’s been going on for a very long time. 40+ years ago one of my friends was feeding her daughter baby-food bananas from a jar (and this was in the days when baby food was full of modified food starch and who knows what else). I said “Just mash up a banana” (which is what I’d been doing for my son all along. “I…

I know someone (now a sixtysomething) who would eat the first marshmallow before the researcher was even out of the room, on the theory that the researcher might not come back.

So he turned his car into a piece of space junk?

My grandfather, my dad’s father, bought me my very first comic book, a Superman from December 1957. I was hooked. From then on I read just about every comic in the DC superhero pantheon even though my dad, an English professor, sneered at comic books, laughed at me for liking them, and once used my just-acquired…

That nuclear orange Kraft mac & cheese is my all time comfort food. My mom only made mac & cheese out of a box.

It’s a very useful graphic. Look how much the sniffer also resembles Devin Dingleberry.

I “only” have a 6th gen iPod Touch, but it cost me a lot of money. Well, to me it was a lot of money. To Jobs it was undoubtedly an amount not worth bending down to pick up off the sidewalk.

I agree, most of the “hostile design” around here is there to deter skateboarders.

One of my brothers was attracted to an Amazon warehouse job because it paid more than the brain dead entry level jobs he was already working (he’s never had anything better than an entry level job in his life). That job just chewed him up and spit him out nearly three years later when it was either quit or go crazy.…

My granddaughter does not eat Legos and therefore will be keeping the thousands of vintage bricks bequeathed to her by her mom and uncle.

Kids these days. We felt extremely daring if we could sneak in a transistor radio to listen to the World Series through an earphone. :)

We record the Super Bowl and then replay it to watch the ads and skip the boring old football. Crazy, I know.

I’ve only had one MRI. I asked for, and got, earplugs, because my ears are very sensitive. After that, I got situated in the tube and was so comfortable that I fell asleep.

MSNBC will beat the crap out of it tomorrow. I’ll wait.
