I’m sympathetic. But mom absolutely knew that she was delinquent on her student loans. Every time she applied for credit in the last 10 years it came up.

I know some people who did.

Probably connected through my friend GK who recognized him and we picked him up hitching. GK’s sister LK and I were in the same high school class, and we share mutual friends now (LK passed away a few years ago).

Even at the time I was doing a lot better than he was. I wasn’t going to go to war over what amounted to about $100; I had a future, he didn’t, and I wasn’t going to waste mine by getting into a feud over stolen drugs. I felt like a pussy, but even then I knew I chose the better long term option.

Honestly this might be even creepier.

It absolutely did happen. I couldn’t have made it up, I’m not that creative.

Waaaaay back in 1974, when I was wild. I was with a friend, and we picked up a hitchhiker he knew. We were partying, and I tossed my stash in the glove box of my ‘66 Buick. We were stopped at a red light, and in a flash the hitchhiker, Billy, reached into my glove box, grabbed my stash, and took off running. I never…

How about, learn her name and ask not to be seated in her section. She is probably following you around because you tip, and she’s “claimed” you. Unclaim yourself.

If you feel like gambling, you’re better off taking 65 pulls on the $100 slot machine at your local casino.

I can have this, or I can have an Alfa 4C with a warranty (which I’d probably need) and $30000 change. I’ll take the Alfa.

Here’s something else, from a guy whose favorite food above all else is a cheeseburger: You might think that more cheese is better. But it isn’t. One slice of cheese is the exact right amount. And I LOVE melted cheese. But too much cheese upsets the balance.

I thought of that when I wrote “Ice Bowl”, but then I decided that there could be more than one! 1975 AFC Championship, 1/4/76.

I’m an old guy, and I was at several of those Oakland/Pittsburgh games, including the Ice Bowl that the Raiders almost came back and won. I was part of the group that stormed the field with a few seconds left, and the players were trying to get everyone off the field (hey, we were young and drunk). Jack Lambert…

Smooth surfaces that are as non-stick as PTFE!

You know what antiques are worth it? Cast iron cookware. There is something deeply, deeply satisfying about cooking up a pot of chili in a dutch oven that says, “GRISWOLD’S ERIE” on the bottom, from 1906.

His real value isn’t that he is a great runner (not that he isn’t); in fact, his YPC dropped to 4.0 last year, and his longest run from scrimmage was 27 yards.

I’ve been in the car business for 32 years. The vast majority of used cars are sold with some kind of coverage. If a car needs too much work to be profitably retailed, it goes to the auction. While it is waiting to go (usually a week to two weeks), it is offered for sale “as is”. In many cases it is preferable to…

The guy is selling it “as-is”. You should assume it has too many things wrong with it for them to address, and move on.
