re: I never order pizza, but when did Papa John’s start Sucking arse?

In Knoxville there were two stores of a franchise called something like Brick Oven Pizza.
We tried one. There were no brick ovens, no piles of firewood outside, not even a propane tank. The dough was very like that foccacio you buy and add your own ingredients.
Back to home made dough on a st...

With no frickin' adjustment for the devaluation of the dollar.

Even if no public contacts are involved, I wouldn't choose to look at that ugly accumulation of bad art and piercings for hours a day on a co-worker's face. Some kinds of ugly you just don't get used to....
re: Trapped water dilemma. Is this the reason it doesn't rain anymore.

What about the water trapped in plants? Leaves may recycle, but tree trunks store water out of the hydrologic cycle. Maybe if we cut down enough trees?
Only partly kidding. We're not growing the big cottonwoods along western rivers any more. The cottonwoods that would be alive but rotten on t...

Elections have consequences. Not just at the federal level, but at the local level the consequences are felt even faster.

Is Nike crazy like a fox, or is Nike just crazy?
Do you see or even imagine people shoplifting women's tennis shoes? Or manly men going around wearing shoes associated with a six foot tall woman?
Will Nike's be the next Louboutin's? or Jimmy Cho's? Or does Nike have some in with the designer...

[quote]the first unfair police shooting[/quote]
Would that be the uniformed policeman who was shot dead this past weekend as a part of a successful carjacking?
Seemed pretty unfair to me for the guy.
Probably not the direction of the bullets you were asking about. Oh well....

I inherited my Father's old Toyota station

re: WSJ: Sofas made much worse now
Posted by real turf fan on 4/22/24 at 12:55 pm
When you find a sofa you like, learn how to reupholster furniture. It's not hard, really, and that way you keep a good strong frame and real springs and cotton batten rather than the stuff that degrades quickly in modern homes....

The pictures in the linked article don't do justice to the dancing and hollering that were going on in that studio. If you think they have eaten well as non-union workers, just imagine with the increased wages they expect to be gifted.

The irony is almost painful.
Ask some families of displaced Haitians. Not the current group, but the ones who left when the slaves took over. Not only did they take over, they murdered all whites who remained and the families of those whites who had intermarried with blacks. Any white blood an...
