That, and a lot of times that was the barn grandpappy and his brothers built that all the cousins would play in after supper—I mean it without irony, as a Kentucky native only a generation away from the farm. In old farming families, there’s a lot of sentimentality attached to those old heaps of lumber.

I’m usually a fan of well-played snark, but the snarky tone of this post is silly. Using reclaimed materials is a good thing, and it’s nice that the barn owners can make some decent cash from something that they don’t need anyways.

I was 14, had to be at work on a farm by 6 a.m., so my dad had to drive me. We were leaving in my mom’s 1994 Aerostar and my dad said “Princess Diana died in a car accident overnight.” I guess he’d had the early morning news on.

Who else distinctly remembers where they were/what they were doing when they found out about Diana?

Fuck Judge Gary Gilman. This woman’s death is on your hands asshole. And as usual incompetent men won’t suffer consequences while this woman is now dead.

My fave is the one on the eastbound stretch of I-70, just before you get into Denver. It slopes downward, but it’s long and made of successively coarser grades of gravel and ends with a barrier of water barrels. When I pass it, I know that I’m twenty minutes from home.

No idea but the whole get naked and take pics of my pregnancy is gross to me. It’s like your five minutes from being hospitalized and trying to be sexy. Gross. That little alien in there is probably pretty gross too.

Did you later wreak your unholy revenge on all of them.....ALL OF THEM?!?!

Kids are sociopaths.

Just be sure to get the signage right.

Yeah, that had to reduce the value by a good $50 or so.

And more than once I’ve seen a dipshit parked at the bottom of that one taking pictures. Extra ballast.

This conjured a flashback of twenty years ago or so when I was coming down Rabbit Ears Pass and two snowmobilers had parked at the bottom of the runaway truck ramp to walk across the highway and take a picture of the valley. More than anything in the world at that moment, I wanted to see a semi with smoke rolling off…

That 1840s fashion of parting the hair down the middle, plastering it to the sides of the head, and then looping some curls or braids in front of the ears was so unfortunate. It’s, like, the 19th century Flock of Seagulls - not a good idea for anybody.

No one should ever have to talk to costumers.

“Put the candle back”.

If ever a purely comedic performance deserved a Best Actor Oscar it was Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein. In my opinon it is the single best comedy of all time and Wilder’s performance one of the all-time great comedic turns.

This reminds me of that meme I saw about how you shouldn’t say to your children, “see, this is why you stay in school” when you see blue-collar workers, because it teaches your children to devalue blue-collar workers instead of to value education...
