Things That Amuse You

[riser4]

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.

You a brain surgeon or sumptin'?

[old goat]

You're not wrong.

No, but you are. I'm trying to quote halliday about shopping in dirty clothes. On the rare occasions I picked up my kids from daycare they never checked my ID if I came from work in office clothes, only when I came covered in sawdust from my garage shop.

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.

You ain't seen nothin' til you've encountered the archetypal Altima in ATL or Houston. Honorable mentions for the Challenger/Charger, Chevy Malibu of course.

Nothing scarier than a black 2012 Altima with a failing tint job.

It's ALWAYS the black and silver ones, huh? BMills has some war stories about those drivers. Lol

Young couple in the grocery store, guy was carrying the baby, which is cool, im all for that. I'd often shop with or without my wife and from 1 to 3 kids. Share the work.

What i thought was hysterical was that the baby carrier was desert tan "tactical". I didn't see any evidence of open firearm carry, but he looked the type, if you know what I mean. Max Tactical.

I had no idea there is such a thing as a Tactical baby carrier, so I looked them up. Jayzus, the depths marketing folks will stoop to.

I didn't catch a brand off the one on the guy in the store, but it resembles this: https://tacticaltykes.com

Not sure the covered back appeals to me.

My tactical baby carrier was mounted with an AR, so that the baby could take out any people in our way.

Next thing ya know, GOTOS diaper changing tables to strap to your molle panels.

I could see that being useful, living in Boulder. Too soon? I'll show myself out.

Im sure the baby holder is bullet proof. I like the quart size beer holder in front.

An infant would get turned to mush inside and or fatal whiplash as they would not have the mass required to support a round hitting soft armor? Shit, grown azz men and women get plenty fucked up. Not sure a plate would be any better? And Max Tactical would develop serious back problems from lugging the latter in that position. Now, I could see the utility in having it provide some protection against slicing and stabbing. It would protect the offspring against Max stumbling into fixed objects like the deli case or his brodozer.

[jackstraw]

It could annoy me, but have to go with perspective. Breaking gear out that you haven't used in a bit and its one thing after another of little annoyances. One example...zipper corroded on a pack. Just fix and move on...but of course realizing last minute.

[Danno]

The word "obtuse" amuses me. Every single time I see it I think this:

[old goat]

You a brain surgeon or sumptin'?

We put in a bunch of those when I was an intern on neurosurgery rotation. Some of those kids didn't do so good. Actual quote from the attending peds neurosurgeon--I wish the little fucker would die.

[plugboots]

Dang. Not amused.

[present tense]

Amused at the Ace hardware cashier that wanted to deny my 50% off one item $30 or less coupon. Yeah I’m the kind of TRG old timer that has the nerve to bring a coupon to Ace.

Turns out 50% of one item under $30 really means just that OR $15 off any one item greater than $30. With an amused grin, just asked cashier to check the fine print and send me on my way.

We really need a thread for funny Amazon reviews.

Imagine this: you’ve gathered snacks, dimmed the lights, and invited friends over for movie night. You fire up your new projector, full of hope and popcorn-fueled excitement… and then… NOTHING.

Well, not nothing. A faint, ghostly whisper of a picture appears. It’s like the projector was powered by a dying firefly with commitment issues. I’ve seen haunted mirrors with more clarity. I wasn’t watching a movie—I was deciphering ancient cave paintings in the dark.

And the audio? Ohhh, the audio. There was none. Not broken. Not crackly. Just pure, unadulterated silence. It was as if the projector looked me dead in the eye and said, “You want sound? LOL.”

I tried every cord, cable, adapter, prayer, and blood pact known to modern electronics. Nada. At one point I swear the projector actually got quieter in protest.

In conclusion, this projector is a triumph in the field of disappointment. A stunning masterclass in how to turn any room into a vortex of rage and regret. Buy this only if you’ve ever thought, “Gee, I’d love to spend money to ruin a perfectly good wall.”

? 1 star because I can’t give zero. ?

Yup. Also HOF worthy are the reviews for the 55 gallon barrel of sex lube. And Ol Mike's mattress review.

After a fire last fall Cleveland Natl Forest closed much of the Trabuco ranger district including areas far outside of the burn zone. Maple Springs truck trail is a pretty standard forest road but notorious for "offroaders" from Orange county heading up there in droves and breaking down, driving off the road or rolling or otherwise incapacitating their vehicles. The Forest service unexpectedly reduced the closure area on Friday and opened the gates to Maple Springs and there have already been a number of rescues up there complete with hours-long traffic jams of broverlanders who can't get by. I'm not aware of any other forest road anywhere that attracts this number of complete morons consistently. https://www.instagram.com/p/DKGay35J6ss/

NORTH ELBA, N.Y. — Two hikers in New York’s Adirondack Mountains called 911 to report a third member of their party had died, but it turned out they had taken hallucinogenic mushrooms and were mistaken, officials said Wednesday.

Dude said he was dead. He don’t lie.

[ötzi]

Thats why we have wakes. Ya never know, they might wake up.

I have a 15 year old dog who I often think is dead Hell not be moving, no sign of breath, and you can poke him or pick up his paw or shake him and no reaction at all. Hes dead as shit. Then suddenly he re-animates and hes fine. Its kinda freaky.
