Extended driving, maybe. I can even understand potentially “Joey drove it to get lunch for the guys” as *part* of said thing, if it makes sense to try and replicate the customer issue anyway. (E.g., need plenty of surface street driving, starts and stops, etc..)

Yeah, I hear a lot of stories about Jiffy Lubes. I can’t do ‘em myself, so I’m usually either at Valvoline, or a Midas (where I’m getting other work done). The latter may not be the cheapest place, but other than seemingly needing a lot of alignments for a while at the one by my work, the one by me seems to do me…

Not sure how I feel about moving the second Daytona race from July 4(ish) to the “end of the regular season” (blech).

I thought Porter got into it almost by accident, rather than as a trained journalist? (Wasn’t Porter the one who wrote the book about the series, And On That Bombshell or something like that? Been a while since I’ve read it.)

Hey, the sky is blue and the sun’s out. For Syracuse, that’s a GREAT weather day.

The Mets, who err on the side of peevish inaction

I’ve had this with a few ‘classic’ animes, like e.g., the original Ghost in the Shell (not the recent live action one) - I watched the 1995 original a few years ago, and while I can see high school and early college types being all “wow, this is so deep, look at all these questions!”, my mid-30s self was going “boy,…

Eh, I look over the 1 stars for sure to at least see if there’s a pattern. I took back a tablet we’d bought for our son without even opening it after seeing too many people complain that the charger stopped working, and that it wasn’t durable for a kid-oriented device.

The one about ‘so much crap piled up they need to make a running start’ sounds not a little like my wife on her side of the bed. I mean, I get too much random crap piled up in places around here too, but it really drives me nuts with her stuff like that (especially random books, dirty laundry, etc.) in the bedroom.

I’ve been here for 10 years now, and never been to Dino. I actually quite like Limp Lizard though.

“Egging a politician here, boss.”

I thought it was pitcher. Wasn’t it Pettitte who did the “apologize without really saying what it was he was apologizing for”?

I thought I had a pic I took of a gorilla seemingly messing with itself at Disney World from back in the day, but it’s just said gorilla being very chill and letting it all hang open. So I’m gonna share it anyway:

I saw the headline at first at the bottom of a different article and thought maybe this was going to be based on the “reality” TV of the TLC network...

Hell, the Wal-mart by me has these frozen pizza dough balls for a dollar in the deli section that you thaw, let rise, roll out, then top. We use those for homemade pizza. Even with basic cheese and jarred sauce, just putting it on ourselves with fresh-cut veggies and all, it’s great. (And unlike the pre-cooked doughs…

The night before? Luxury!

...Except Mexico’s on the opposite side from the UK and Canada :P

when I modulate my voice to sound ‘straight’, and I’ve noticed he deepens his voice

Drew mentioned Cartman, and I realized... that reference is like, 20+ years old now. 

I mean, I’m a sweaty foot person. Just the way it goes. It’ll make my feet nasty, give me blisters, AND it’ll start moving stuff around on the soles of the shoes, which just feels wrong. I hate throwing shoes with no socks on just if I need to like, make a quick run out to the car at night for something (not even…
