Don’t those stupid birds know when it’s Columbus Day?

His greatest hit album is often in the CD bins. Just that one song over and over.

I used to have someone go look in their car and see if it was messy while I interviewed them. If it was I threw their resume away.


I know three people who do great work and are neat in appearance and their work area, but the interiors of their cars look like homeless meth-heads live in there. It would drive me crazy, but some decent employees (especially ones with kids) have trashy car interiors.

I googled the odd looking area code on one recently, and it was out of Toronto.
I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.
Every time I open the Travel board, my mind reads this thread as “What to do in Ocean springs for 2 weeks.” Damn, that’s a looong stay in Ocean Springs.
History.com says “ In early Japanese warfare, defeated samurai would literally plunge a short sword into their left abdomen, slice across to the right, and pull upward to prove their bravery and ensure a fatal wound. This was a raw, gruesome act done without assistance, often leaving the warrior to bleed out over hours.”

It evolved over the centuries to be quicker.
Did the municipal water live up to its billing?

Blaney ran up and grabbed Hocevar by the fire suit. I guess he thought Hocevar would just stand there and listen. Blaney apparently didn’t anticipate that Hocevar might react by punching him in the face. He didn’t have a good plan on how to handle that. :lol:

I like Blaney, but he came out of this one looking foolish.
Well, we laid a strip for the Eastern shore
And prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But I didn't have a dog-goned dime

I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a-gonna pay no toll"
So we crashed the gate doing ninety-eight
I says "Let them truckers roll, 10-4"
He mindfricked LSU on that series of PAT plays and sealed the win.
I brush my teeth and use Glide floss after pretty much any consumption of food. Toothpick doesn’t get the job done.

Toothpicks make me think of Lucas Beauchamp in William Faulkner's Intruder in the Dust. Dude sported a gold toothpick. Drove the white trash crazy.
Stick around, kid. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

That 2 point play sequence was a mind frick of LSU.

Entering Saturday, teams were 1,046-1 over the past 20 seasons when leading with the ball in the final 10 seconds of regulation, according to ESPN Research. The only loss was Michigan's "trouble with the snap" against Michigan State on Oct. 17, 2015.
I talked to a couple of young women from the UK who worked in the spa of a ship that sailed out of New Orleans. They said they took the jobs to travel and see the world, but neither had so much as set foot in the French Quarter during their multiple, weekly stops within sight of it.

I don't see the need to build I-49 running from Laffayette through Morgan City in US 90's current route to New Orleans. I-10 already accomplishes this.


Yes, but I-10 has to go through the Baton Rouge bottleneck. An alternative to avoid that is desirable.
RJM Hunting Australia is a guy who hires out to farmers to use night vision to snipe rats, foxes, pigs, feral cats, hares, etc. He has some badass equipment.

He shows his rat shooting gear at the beginning of this video, but I embedded it to start with the action.

I've had several pieces of LC for many years, and they get used often. Fortunately, I've never run into that.

Weird stuff happens, even with good products. The question is whether the brand will do the right thing. I had a Ruger Mark II pistol bolt ears snap off under regular use; they replaced the bolt right away even though it was many years out of warranty. Their response meant the difference in me buying more Ruger products or not.

I hope LC replaces your product. Please report back when you find out.

re: 9/11 is becoming Ancient History

We are as far away from 9/11 now as 9/11 was from Jimmy Carter winning president in 76


I was an elementary school kid when Carter won. 25 years before that was 1951.

In '51, Harry Truman was president, and the Korean War was underway.
That was certainly ancient history to us, as far as my class even knew of those events.

The Kennedy assassination was just 13 years before Carter, but it was a history topic to us who were either not born then or too young to remember it.

I had what I thought was an original idea for a prank duck to leave on Jeeps. Someone beat me to it.
