$45 shipping for a 6 oz box.... pretty sure I should have gotten some K-Y with that.

Kids music has always been inane. If you think it's any worse these days, I have news for you: "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't be Late)" was a number one hit in 1959. NUMBER ONE. That's a much bigger deal than 10 billion plays on Netflix or whatever. It's hilarious to think that TODAY'S youth is all of a sudden more infantile and more ridiculous than any other of all time. Yeah, your parents and grandparents said the exact same thing about you.
Hey, wait. David Seville was a GENIUS, A GENIUS I TELL YOU!
In reply to Rodan :
Wow, is it overnight parts from Japan?
I just shipped a large size, probably 10-pound box about 500 miles, and it got there in 3 days, through a snow storm.
For $37.
Mr. Peabody said:I was in the store that sells my favourite peanut butter last night getting the cat food. And I completely forgot about it.
You buy your peanut butter at Petco? 
No, Canadian tire
So, what you call peanut butter, is actually...maple syrup?
I went to put a bit of cocoa into my coffee and wound up knocking the vanilla extract out of the cabinet. The vanilla extract fell into my parfait, which flew everywhere all over the counter, floor and stove Yay.

Nope. $80 worth of very small, very light Mazda parts from NM to AZ.
Right after I posted that, I let the dog out to pee. Apparently there was a skunk in the yard. Wife and I were up until 2am washing the dog. Ugh.
In reply to Rodan :
UPS 3 day select is the biggest rip-off, especially from NM to AZ. NM to AZ is less than 3 days, when shipped ground. Most places within 500-1000 miles are 3 days or less, ground. I'm not sure what 3 day select is for.
In reply to dculberson :
3 Day Select. That's what you selected: 3 days.
Like marking a bucket of feces guaranteed. All you're getting is a guaranteed piece of crap.
In reply to dculberson :
Yeah, that was "standard shipping" according to the website.
Fun fact: adding a windshield reveal molding (which probably would have fit in the same box) to the same order raised the shipping to $367! I even called them to ask, WTF!!? Their response was I'd have to place the order, and then they could 'adjust' the shipping. No thanks. Got that part off eBay with free shipping.
If my local dealer didn't charge 2x Mazda retail prices, I wouldn't be forced to use online parts suppliers... but that's another rant. 
I understand that you've probably had undiagnosed ADD for most of your life.
I understand that you're fundamentally an impatient, big-picture, get-it-done-now kind of person.
I understand that it's hard for you not to see immediate results when something happens to be in your focus.
But PLEASE, for the love of Bob, STOP "HELPING" ME by doing the background preparation stuff that you really just don't understand, when having you do it is going to save about 10 minutes right now but will cost me several hours of cleanup and busywork later.
Preemptively ranting that, yet again, I'm an idiot.
Arbys has a new sandwich, Diablo fire bullE36 M3 sandwich, comes with a kids shake because it's supposedly so hot.
Well I got one. First bite was rough, hard initial heat, then quick fade. Tastes like Frank's Red Hot and Tabasco had a baby, but Tabasco was a drunk during the pregnancy.
I can already feel it burning through my stomach lining and I haven't finished my post meal cigarette yet. This is gonna suck.
Why the hell is the milkshake gritty?

Ugh. We had that happen about 5-6 years ago- did NOT make for a fun week, especially with The Dancer's insanely sensitive nose. If we catch anything resembling a whiff of skunk smell when we open the door to let him out now we will get the harness and take him out on that rather than risk it.
In reply to RevRico :
I'm routinely disappointed by products that claim to be 'Diablo' or 'Fire' or anything that sounds like it should have some really good heat. About the only place I don't expect to be disappointed when they say something is going to be 'hot' or 'spicy' is at an Indian restaurant- there I stick to either 'American Hot' or 'Medium-Hot' on their own scale.
In reply to RevRico :
Arby's 'buffalo' anything sucks pretty bad too.
In reply to Ashyukun (Robert) :
This stuff is the E36 M3 when it comes to skunkified dogs:
Soak the dog with it, wait a few minutes and then shampoo out. Not a whiff of skunk on the dog today. I was just lucky I still had a bottle in the garage that we bought probably 10 years ago!

There are only a few places that I will concede their calling a chicken sandwich 'spicy'- and even fewer that I'll actually eat at. Popeye's is about the only place I will still eat at that their spicy chicken sandwich (and spicy chicken in general) reasonably lives up to the name. Probably because most places make something 'spicy' by putting some kind of sauce on it vs. them actually having heat in the breading & chicken itself.

Chick fil'A does pretty good, too. Spicy breading and chicken, pepper Jack cheese.
Rant: I miss BK's Angry Whopper. That was a spicy burger.
I had a signed title for the BMW and a bill of sale for the trailer two months ago, but a bunch of things kept me from going to the DMV.
Who knows what happened to them in the two months since I got them, because I sure don't.
In reply to Recon1342 :
Sams club, of all places, has a really good spicy chicken, they're just frozen. Sandwiches and patties.
Amazing how the kids go from "I'm not hungry" when dinner is hot on the table, to "I'm starving and need to make something to eat!" once I tell them it is time for after dinner chores.
Just got the yearly renewal on my little 10' bass raider boat in. Somehow it's labeled a a 122' vessel and they want $350 to renew it. Guess I'm going to the tax collectors office.
Having doctors take your complaint seriously is more frightening than having doctors disregard your complaint.

On the flip side, when you do get that massive yacht, taxes apparently won't be a problem.
