I read these comics a kid.

Same. This and Haunted Tank.

The covers were always as misleading as an Atari 2600 cartridge artwork but the stories were good enough not to care. When Sgt Rock fired his gun, the go-to sound effect was “BUDDA! BUDDA!”

I have an old vehicle that won’t pass emissions

In Texas, we got rid of the annual safety inspection but several of the more populous counties still require an emissions check. I’m hoping that doesn’t mean they’ll do a more thorough emissions test since they aren’t testing other things.

Trader Joe’s is one of 4 or 5 places I usually go to for groceries. I especially like their pre-made refrigerated, not frozen, pizza dough (2 flavors) and Sublime ice cream cookie sandwiches. One of my kids likes their frozen stir fried rice. I throw in some of my own andouille and shrimp and it’s ready in about 5 minutes. Every Christmas, I buy several of their $1 Advent calendars so kids don’t fight over whose day it is. The workers are almost always cheerful and engaged.

It’s like Whole Foods in that I have a few go-to items. Most of my groceries are from HEB, Sprouts, and WalMart.

If the cop admits the informant who testified he saw drugs change hands was wrong, the informant’s testimony in every case is unreliable.

this is an incredibly childish and lame thing to do if you’re the kid doing the prank call

We’re assuming the story is true.

I can admire a good prank call when it’s justified. In this case, probably not.

How the hell does he go to prison for 2 weeks

One of the managers at work sent around an email saying a guy in our group was transitioning to female, gave their new name, and their pronouns. The guy followed up with an email to those of us who worked with him before and basically said “it’s true but I won’t get mad or offended if you call me the wrong name or pronoun.” Everyone went along because he had been a cool guy.

They got transferred to a different team and a couple of years went by without interacting with them. We started crossing paths again and I don’t know what’s up. He obviously stopped taking hormones because his voice was deep again. His profile photo has him without makeup and his hair is in dreadlocks. He uses the new name but it could be a boy or girl’s name. I feel so sorry for the guy or girl or whatever and the turmoil in their life. Still super nice and helpful. He was probably just old school gay the whole time.

Get another quote and see if they’re willing to split it. If not, ask how much were they willing to pay, since they obviously feel some responsibility. Take whatever they’re willing to pay, even if it’s $0, get it fixed, and move on.

We’ve all seen worse in the student section at a night game in Tiger Stadium.
