I keep a quart of halogen headlamp fluid next to my toolbox at work. You would be surprised how many folk ask about it.

Tell them you have the deluxe version of headlamp fluid but it costs an extra $10 per headlamp.

I ve never had my neck adjusted, but if it s like I adjust carburetors, no thanks.

Yeah there are some screws to turn; doc my screws are loose. 

In the case of my local grocery store they put out unsold Halloween candy and fall decorations from the year before around late summer just to get rid of it, they hate it as much as you do. The only place I know of that does it maliciously is Walgreens.

Saw a bunch of Halloween cards and stuff in CVS this weekend... I was not happy.

Happy Halloween y'all!

The Chef was awesome when I was a kid.  Haven't touched the stuff in years.

It's obviously not gourmet food, but for what it is -- a 80 cent can of food that can be ready to eat in 3 minutes -- it isn't bad.  It could feed two people if you have a light appetite and add a salad or a piece of bread to it.  It doesn't have preservatives in it.  Wolf Brand Chili (no beans) is also a staple in my pantry for quick and easy meals.  Top with a little cheese and some crackers, yum.

Great. Now I want to make a CBA pizza kit.:)

According to Wikipedia, the writers of that episode never wrote for Gilligan's Island, so maybe it was Alan Hale, Jr. remembering that character and incorporating it into the Skipper?

You have cool parents -- they actually have a console.  My mom plays Candy Crush on her Amazon Fire tablet; does that count?

Actually, my sister is the only one that really plays it. Lol

I was thinking hard on it and I think Wii Bowling may be the Only must-play Completely Awesome sports game in this entire world (for me anyway)... ?

Or else!

Carey, you're fired.

I know right? I've seen so many things on ebay that are just "Pre-Owned" or "Used", or even "Open Box" but Refurbished is supposed to mean it's been gone through and fixed and put back into working order, ideally with a warranty to go with it. Ebay should come down on them hard (but they won't)...I wish ebay would qualify the use of the term "Refurbished".

Yeah, it pisses me off. ebay doesn't care, as these shysters are paying ebay fees. Heck if they are going to list an item as refurbished, at least turn it on and test it out for 2 minutes to make sure the screen is OK and that it works. I guess the seller likes to pay a lot of unnecessary return shipping costs. When I triggered the return, it gave me a pre-paid shipping label. They like to throw money away.

After I sent them a message about it, and then asked for a refund, they finally gave me a refund, then I left negative feedback. Now, the co. finally got back to me to apologize after already wasting my time -- wanting me to reverse the negative feedback and that they could refund the money. Um, they didn't even bother to check if they had already issued the refund. Idiots. Only gave a damn after I left negative feedback.

It is such a stereotypically bad school photo that it ceases being bad and becomes hyper cool. Like a big middle finger to the popular kids and the establishment.

Pretty sure my friends would have taken a pic, laughed at how bad it was, then sent it to all my friends,...then told me about it.

I think all that was popular then. Although, somehow sweater and polo shirt now seems incongruous with badass face.

Oh yeah, Jr. High...Saturday Night, I used to love kickin back, watching Love Boat followed by Fantasy Island...

I was rock'n multi-monitor setups back then. Love Boat on one, Apple II BASIC programming on the other.

Love Boat reruns play here on the weekends. Sadly, no Fantasy Island though. Sad to think Tattoo took his own life years later in '93. :-(

Why would you expect better from a "goofy, mouth-breathing, idiot moron"? Seems like that's pretty-much what I'd expect if I was selling a laptop to one.

U should see r\choosingbeggars

That choosing beggars reddit was a fun read. Boggles the mind how some people are.

I bet the Amazon reviews she writes giving products 1 star because they didn't do something the description explicitly says they won't do are fun to read.

Re: the dingbat who didn't understand what 12" was, feel sorry for her mate - probably doesn't measure up! lol

^LOL!

simbalion, yep the road they are on is very nice looking with thick crisp curbs, nice sidewalks (perfectly even), and the grass looks nice. It was in front of some sort of park that was probably paved over in the 1970's for cheap apartments.

IIRC, the 1961 Twilight Zone "Once Upon a Time", starring Buster Keaton, deals with idyllic views of both the past and future.

I've got to find that TZ ep...my kid is into that show now so the timing is right and I might actually get to see it.

Pessimist's Archive is full of these "good old days" things, very much fun:

I wonder if "Jump" has ever been played on a suicide prevention hotline.

Might as well!

Oh Christ! That's funny!

Sounds like college for me...Except that I was, at a certain point, no longer allowed to have dangerous chemicals or livestock in my dorm room.

^^^What save2600 said. The only morons involved are those wasting their time watching

That and the Crypt Keeper's a little more pleasant.

She is taking on a reptilian appearance. But she serves a purpose. We all have to put up with morons everyday, so it's entertainment to see 'em kicked around a little by an old mean person like Judy.

Goldfish are my favorite snack, I sleep with a 2 pound bag next to my bed every night. I'm totally offended by your differing opinion but shall do nothing about it because I couldn't care less.

"Hot" flavor potato chips

Maui sweet onion potato chips, please.

A long tome ago say the 70's One of our news guys farted on live TV during the news. The said 'excuse me'. The whole town was laughing for days.lol

Then there's this woman:

I laughed at this stuff, but it's funnier when it catches you off guard...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zya1xCt6I8g

I own birds but dogs are great too!

Birds are wonderful and beautiful.

My birds scream loudly, poop everywhere, bite me, and throw food on the floor, but I love them. They're like toddlers with 1/100th of the expense 1/15th the size and all of the personality, and you can leave them alone for more than five minutes without them jamming a fork into an electrical outlet.

Hmmm... if he has a phone he has a data plan right? He could download his own... virtual friend.

Hey I asked you that in private! Next you'll be telling people about the nude Tammy Faye Bakker screen saver!

Sorry Goldleader, I won't mention the Britney Spears request. I gave the neighbor our old collection of DVD "adult" videos that were sitting in a box in the basement. Mostly Shane's World, Evil Angel stuff. That oughta keep the dude busy a while.

We watched it back in December ourselves. Have it on DVD.

Snow...snow...snow!!! Love that flick.

Yep, even the goofy songs are good.

On Monday, we're expecting -11 C = +12 F over here. Grill mittens on.

Winters are usually mild enough here that I can grill year round. Grilled some pork chops Dec 11th... =)

It was minus 4 C, so not too cold (25 F). It's going to be minus 20 C (-10 F) this weekend, now that's cold.

Or wash your hands afterwards?

Wouldn't soaking your hands in the sink for a minute or two soften up the dried dough?

Not this crappy dough I made. It was sticky. I washed my hands for 5 minutes and still there was a little left in my sasquatch finger hair. I just shaved my fingers and got the dough out that way.

39 = old pharte?? I think not.

True ls650. I'm 45 so I guess I can be a hockey enforcer. Hockey probably has some guys on the roster who are pushing 50?

Like the terrible Disney movie?

Or the terrible one where they're stuck on the ski lift? And there's wolves for some reason.

Let it goooooooooo
