Our kids knew they’d have to answer these three questions at dinner every night:

We called them the “threatening threes” because you were always threatening them with something.

This is what I said when I was watching it.  It’s Caboose and Church.

I typically use something I’ve been forced to memorize, like the Boy Scout oath or the Ranger Creed to create my passwords from the first letter of each word.  The letters are very random, but easy for me to remember.

Having been through Army survival training and traveling for business to China for the past decade, I don’t think I’d have an issue with bug consumption.

I found using the Valsalva Maneuver during both helps a lot. It pushes against your core muscles and turns your abs into a steel-ish column.

I take my ginger with bourbon.  2-3 of those and I can sleep half way to Shanghai.

Sorry, but no. You already tip them for the transaction, unless they have your drink ready for you as soon as you belly up to the bar after everyone shouts “Norm!” and they solve all your problems in 22 minutes, and extra tip is just a bit too far. Especially if you tip the Salty approved 20% or higher.

Not mine.  Ben Sisko FTW.

Despite those results, holiday tipping is still the norm—or, at least, it should be, said Patricia Rossi,

KCSuperman is an extension of Superman I-III & Returns. He referenced going crazy and fighting himself and his son Jason. Then the attack by a freak from Gotham.

I’d love to see Wil give a reading of Roarsach’s “And the world will look up and shout ‘save us’ and I’ll whisper ‘no.’”

Only if you collect butterfly farts for a living and somehow make $1M/ year from that business model.

The Emirates Air commercials with Jennifer Anniston were the aspirational ones that always drove me into a rage.  99.95% of the people seeing the commercial had no chance of ever affording a luxury seat on one of Emirates’ planes.  Putting those commercials on during football was just such a bad decision.

I got about halfway through the run of The Boys comic and kind of gave up, it was just too over the top.

Same with locomotives.  I used to work for GE and when the economy tanks, they don’t sell many locos.  What the do sell is a ton of mods.  BNSF, CN, or Florida Eastern will send in an idle loco and the engine, motors, and electronics get ripped out and swapped with brand new electronics and refurbished moving parts. …

I was offered a job at marginally more than I was currently making that would require me to move to somewhere with a cost of living that was 50% more than where I was. I laid out to the HR manager the pay wasn’t going to do it and gave them a number that would keep the buying power the same. They didn’t budge on the…

“Bless your heart” is the Southern “go fuck yourself.”

Every year I always say I’m going to take the day off and see how many place I can hit for my free meal.  I’ve yet to embark on the Tour de’Bellyache.

We bought an 08 SX4 manual for the kids a few years ago and everyone loves it. I’d hate to see Suzuki collapse as I like the one car I’ve driven from them and it’d be hard to get spares.
