    I took my laptop to get a new hard drive (purchased a year ago) installed yesterday and joked about it taking 15 minutes. The guy at Micro Center in Cambridge said, let me check with the technician and came back saying it would be ready in half an hour. I was expecting to be without the TGRz for a week... I was totally blown away.

    So I went to Tasty Burger to get lunch, where I struck up a conversation with the guy waiting next to me. Turns out, he was buying a bunch of extra burgers to hand out to various homeless people in Harvard Square. I was very impressed again... couple small things made me feel good about being human.

    I know there's more good shit out there.... right?
    Ain't no stopping the Kumbaya.

    If I took the thread title literally then I would have to say that one of my kids manages to drop a deuce on a regular basis that is mostly round and at least the size of both of my fists. I am impressed. We had to buy a new toilet that was better equipped to handle the job.

    if you keep clapping yourself on the back maybe you'll convince someone else you rock.

    while I was deeply annoyed when I got a big rock chip in my new windshield 2 days after installed few months ago, I was very impressed today driving to the airport with the balmy 7 deg F and watching a crack move slowly across the bottom of the windshield. never saw glass get a slow crack like that..... took about 30 mins to go A pillar to A pillar.

    Shit That Impresses You

    Temp differential...

    Shoulda opened the windows and cranked the AC.


    Harpooning a comet sounds cool, but Stowes new snowmaking is is way more impressive.

    Not so much impressed but certainly amused by a description in the paper today-

    A quadruple amputee who killed his parents was described as "armed and dangerous"
    Move upside and let the man go through...

    the struggles you face when you try to tell everyone what's on my mind, I enjoy how they don't bother your character, and lying is just like being honest or perhaps even better in your practice

    that's perhaps the most impressive thing on TGR, your inerrant mind-reading and your continual reframing of my commentary to make me into what you fantasize about

    my real q,

    why do you spend so much time fantasizing about me?

    Should we send somebody over to check on you, croaky? You need some chicken soup or something?
