It’s because they’ve seen it happen.  They’ve been played multiple versions of A-fucking-Christmas Carol on TV every day from November to New Year’s, every year for the last five decades.  They think that orange fucker is going have his heart grow three sizes and buy them a goose and shit.

We had one, and I second everything you said.

I hauled an eight foot kitchen countertop in ours.  And that six speed manual was tight, like a bolt-action rifle.  A joy to drive, honestly.

Gabriela Barron.  You know, John Barron’s wife?

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

I watched the episode in question. And then I re-watched it with my lily-white prep-school aged daughter. We both thought it was hilarious. I wish I could afford to send my kid to a school that would show and discuss Ziwe, instead of a public school where teachers wear MAGA masks in class.

Geophagy.

Yes.  When recycling centers stopped buying burnt romex, jobsite theft went down dramatically.  No tweaker is going to buy a legit wire stripper, although with all of that time, energy, and *sniff* motivation, you would think they could get it done by hand.

Or a slightly-yellow green metallic, like the color Ford had the last time they sold a Maverick.

I haven’t seen it. I saw the trailer, set in the exact same location as Logan, with someone protecting a different tween in the same damn woods, with yet another Johnny Cash song running over the trailer.  I feel like I already saw it without actually seeing it.

I am right there with you. A friend in Seattle received his dealership’s confirmation email with a promise that they would be selling at MSRP. I asked my dealer if they were following suit and I was told, “I can assure you that we will price these trucks very fair according to current market conditions and value.”  I…

You know those guys picked the truck with the mushrooms decal on purpose.

To be honest, I’d watch a mashup of those two movies.

In Officer and a Gentleman, “steers and queers” come from Oklahoma, FMJ - Texas.  O&G, the suicide is a hanging, FMJ - murder/suicide shooting.

I think they wanted to name the center “Kids Kids Kids,” but that was too obvious.

It’s even worse if you’ve been playing Crazy Taxi.

Calm down.  Surely these are just stand-in garments for the full CGI costumes.

If you are a log truck driver, you’re probably an owner-operator getting paid by the load, going from timber sale to mill multiple times per day. The mill only accepts logs during a certain window of the day, and may be hours from the sale. If you can make five loads in a day instead of four, your income for that day…

The specs aren’t exactly underwhelming, but it’s definitely overpriced.

Kohler makes double-bowl sinks with “Smart Divide,” which is marketing-speak for a shorter height divider. I can prep a chicken in one side without messing with the other side (I often throw a collander in one side to let stuff drain). Sheet pans and racks fit for washing without teeter-tottering water all over the…

Try rolling dough out on that all-sink countertop.

Those older sink tops are enameled cast iron, like a bathtub. Depending on the size, they can be between 300-500+ pounds. Expect extra labor costs to remove or install one.

Solid surface countertops (Corian, Hi-Macs) and paper phenolic countertops (Paperstone, Richlite)…

My hot take after reading the headline: “No way! Dirt is friggin’ awesome!”

Because the U.S. military is the #1 school for commercial pilots.
