Things That Amuse You

Of course not, if that was her sole purpose in life. In her current position, however, she could never overcome her idiocy even with a bazillion BJs.

You're not wrong.

Aggro drivers in fancy new cars with all the bells and whistles. You know how long you are gonna be without that $50k car when you wreck it into my $9k 2001 Sequoia? Probably about 6 months. I, otoh, have a few backups in a local junkyard that I can pull whatever parts I need and be back on the road in a few days, if I even fix it. Just makes me laugh.

Amusingly specific speed limit.

In places like chemical plants, refineries, and the like they post speed limit signs which say 11, 13, etc. It is a mind game to make people always be aware of their speed.

At our trash transfer station they have 10 3/4 mph listed [emoji38]

^^^^ This. Unusual, makes you focus, automatically check your speed.

Wait ... not that; referencing halliday.

I attended a professional speaking/training seminar. One of the best tips was to use odd or unusual numbers for break length announcements. People will then look at the clock to figure out when to return. Tell them a 10min break and they will turn that into 15 without thinking.

I'd find that annoying as hell. The speaker should look at the clock and announce when the break is over - - like if he's breaking at 10:42, just say that he's going to start up again at 11:00 sharp. And then do it.

I laft.

[halliday]

referencing PB: Its fucking mind control. Nothing else.

[PB]

I, for one, prefer a controlled mind to an un-controlled mind.

Makes sense, thanks! And yeah this road accesses an aggregate mine with heavy truck traffic on weekdays.

My cousin had a stroke and almost died. Brink of death kind of thing, probably saw the light. Anyway she has a mullet now and on the short hair side she’s got a tube that goes from her brain to her stomach so the juice that comes out to relieve pressure goes into her gut.
I mean, I’m a biologist (in my earlier life), and I follow stuff but I’ve never seen that before.
There’s some weird eating your brain shit going on there that amuses me

[halliday]

Ive been drilling hollow bar ground anchors this week in Breckenridge at the Gold Lot and staying in Frisco at the AC. I have been swinging by Whole Foods every night to hit up the hot bar and you wouldn't believe (or maybe you would if you have ever been in this supermarket) the looks I get when I show up covered in shit from drilling all day. People sheltering their children from my presence, hot young, and old, women covering their cleavage and looking away, men in their expensive out doorsy attire with their white framed sunglasses perched neatly on the brim of their hat jumping out of the way while I walk down an aisle. I probably make more money than most people who shop in this store and to watch them behave like Thurston and Lovey cracks me up.

Date night in the mini gondolas with fastfred at WF in the future?

What are you talking about?
I’ve had all kinds of cool cars. I had an Audi A6, I’ve had a 4 series BMW convertible, etc. etc. it’s actually kind of cool to drive some different cars for a few days/week.

[Name Redacted]

And if you skuff a bumper road raging you’ll be out a lot more time and money than I will. I drive many many cars. Euro spots cars don’t impress me at all. Especially in the mountains where they just get trashed anyway. People get so much ice in their wheel wells they cant drive em.

Function over fashion for me. Glad some people are into them though. They shell out good money to keep em running so i can buy new dirtbikes.

This is funny, you should ask one of the pearl clutchers if they know where the gluten free aisle or Impossible Meat is and watch their brains explode

Ventriculoperitoneal shunts have been around forever, mostly in babies with hydrocephalus. That you find them amusing concerns me. You should see somone. Hope your cousin gets better.
