Minor Confession Thread

I used scissors to cut the squeezed-flat end off of a little tube of Super Glue. The cap had becone glued to the mouth of the tube. This morning my wife says: "See if you can open these scissors." Nope.

I launched two WIFFLE balls trough a machine at 90 mph straight into my friends nuts.

It was me that farted.

I find my own farts, in a way, are actually pleasant. As in, "Wow, that's strong. I made that" self satisfaction.

No official link- we have a live chat function and it all goes on in there.

I very rarely take any of my vehicles to a mechanic, but if I do, and they mention some hack job repair on the car that I actually did, I pretend I bought it like that.

I find articles about hyper-supercars boring.

Me too.

And hyper-mileing for that matter.

In fact, I find almost all articles about cars themselves boring. I want to read about people doing things with them, in them, to them, on them... etc. Except hyper-mileing. And detailing. And ... crap... I might as well just admit that I really only care about people fabricating stuff and then racing it.

He didn't move or collapse after the first hit?!

Or did he immediately lose consciousness and crumble causing you to adjust trajectory, wait for him to come to and fire again?

Somebody cut me off in a dangerous manner going into the supermarket tonight. I noticed they were gabbing on their phone. They tore through the parking lot and took up two spaces when they did park

I parked a bit further back in the lot than they did. Walking by, I noticed their gas lid was open. Wouldn't it be awful if somebody unscrewed their gas cap a bit and then closed the lid in the hopes that their car would throw a code and their CEL would come on?

Wouldn't it?

That was my car keys in my pocket..

He moved fast enough that the 3rd missed, but they didn't exactly take their time.

Brett, why stop there?

I don't want to work full time anymore. Something happened that might mean I'll be offered a full time position, but I'm currently searching for reasons not to. I just wish this hadn't happened this soon, I wanted to see if part time work would cover the bills first (looks good so far, but I've only had one paycheck since it's a new job).

if part time covers the bills ... etc.. the only advantage to full time (as I see it) would be the co. provided ins. should be less expensive than sourcing your own

I don't want to work that much either. I'd secretly be happy if I could live a life of leisure, with the occasional token bit of work.

Anytime I try and sharpen anything, I make it worse. Drill bits, knives, chainsaws, hedge clippers, lawnmower blades, you name it, I can dull it.

I think Capt. Slow is the better driver of the three.

Me too. I also make carbs worse by messing with those little screws in an attempt to improve.

Ha!

Every time I sharpen something, I end up shaving my arms testing the blade. It does make for some funny looks the next day.

My arm was itchy inside a deerskin gauntlet today. So... I took the tool in my left hand and scratched it.

That tool was a TIG torch that had just laid down 4" of stainless bead.

It only takes about 1/10th of a second to realize you just gave yourself a 2" long 3rd degree burn. It's still too late to do anything about it.

So... OUCH. My berkeleying wrist hurts. Confession: I am an idiot.

Me? I'd never do anything like that.

Never.

Damn, I'm glad you weren't using a Skill saw.
