Minor Confession Thread

I was the idiot with too much bass last week. I set my XM up in the truck at work listening to the 90s station. It started with Sir Mix A Lot and got a bit louder with each song. By the time Jump Around came on I had the windows down, radio turned all the way up and some old guy walking a schnauzer telling me to grow the berkeley up already.

I'm with you. Lucille Ball was the Will Ferrell of her generation. So desperately over the top, yet so desperately NOT funny.

I hate Raymond but love Chris.

Its a very non-GRM thing to do because of cost, but I ordered a Tilley hat today. All 75 dollars of it.

Seriously coveting this....he dropped his price too....oh damn.

I do one hell of a Karl Childers impression.

Valve cover is leaking a bit.

I'm slightly relieved that I can't afford the Vmax I got to ride this weekend, as SWMBO just had a friend in a fairly severe bike wreck who is facing the possibility of having to have both arms amputated.

She wouldn't stop me from getting a bike, but she also probably wouldn't stop worrying about what could happen to me on it.

Even with the start of all that rust?

Ain't worth 5 grand.

Always. ALWAYS. Wash your hands thoroughly before touching things like your contacts or your hootus. You have been warned.

I still lust after my friend's '85 Diplomat Police car.

It has a 318 with a dead cylinder (no compression) and a 904 that is supposedly missing 2nd gear. Currently sitting in a field...still want.

I like linoleum that looks like tile more than actual tile.

The wife and I took the Thunderbird SC to the mountains this past weekend. I spent a lot of time wishing it had an automatic, rather than a 5 speed. I spent a fair amount of time wishing it had a softer suspension. I even spent some time wishing it was a truck.

I spent the entire weekend wishing it had stock exhaust. That is the worst sounding engine in the world. I've heard tractors with better sounding engines.

I've started playing League of Legends, pretty much a terrible use of my time and more than slightly nerdy.

League of Legends (LoL) is a multiplayer online battle arena video game

But my character name is Bob Costa

Today is my birthday. I've spent the last 8hrs thinking about working on my birthday every single year since I was 14.

Now I'm going to eat Indian food with my family. Which will turn into an argument. If you hate Indian food please do not attend. If you attend please do not complain.

My confession is that I'm not even sure I like Indian food that much or if I just enjoy the individuals that refuse to eat it, not attending.

I have never made it all the way through the Patti Smith album Horses in one sitting.

For being on every "best albums of all time" list and universally one of the most positively reviewed albums out there and supposed to lie right within my my musical interests....... I just can't stand it. Bad poetry over piano with terrible derivative generic blues guitar riffs. At its best it is a terrible ripoff of some of Tom Waits least appealing stuff. At its worst it is just self indulgent jazzy crap.

I can see how it influenced some albums I do genuinely like (Television's Marquis Moon for one) but trying to listen to Horses, which for some reason I do every couple of years to see if I am just being silly fills me with a seething rage that takes a few days to fade.

The last time I wrote nonsense on the board it lasted almost 2 months. I wrote some new stuff this morning and my boss walked in, saw it on the board, and told me he knew it was me doing it.

I tried to order a set of boggers for the 2 rear tires on our 2wd work truck.... I'm tired of being hung up in wet grass.

I didn't exactly get caught like busted out. The price was rejected... But when you start out at 500 dollars for two tires and meet in the middle I still got some sick tires. Haha

I did this and I feel bad about it. I try to not abuse things on purpose.

I knew it was happening and abused the crap out of it anyways. Destroyed the rotor too. It started grinding last Tuesday and I didn't stop. 250 miles of it was towing a trailer. Too much to do and not enough time to stop and fix it.

Fixed today though. New pads, rotors and seals. The grinding was like fingers on a chalk board.

It's ok, the sticker on your toolbox gets you back to even.

That is the sound of getting your money's worth out of a set of pads

My GF has a Bunco tournament she is hosting at the house this weekend. I was told to stay out of the guest bathroom until after the get together.

So last night I unrolled the entire roll of toilet paper and drew faces on it with an ink pen and random phrases. Like (this was a mistake, lay off the dairy, help me, I don't even like her why is she always my partener.... And so on)

Then I rolled the whole thing back up and placed it on the TP dispenser. Should be funny... I think.

Heck, they're faster with the roof up too. And with the strength of the sun around here, I'm just as happy to be in the shade with the AC on.

I'll never outgrow that top down wind in the hair feeling.

I have apparently been been a Fergie fan for a very long time. Kids Inc., Wild Orchid, BEP.

I am ashamed.
