The rambling thread. No set topic. Just whatever comes to mind after reading the previous post.

Speaking of Rant.

That bit in the book about the Party Crashers was hilarious.

I love working in a building where the staff tend to care about the way they look

With my upcoming job change, I'm actually looking forward to wearing at the absolute bare minimum slacks and a shirt. I generally wear that anyways, but usually people at my current job are in jeans and a t-shirt. It really does, in my opinion, take away from the business. I don't have a problem with it in theory, but in reality people wear old jeans and they look like slobs.

I have a stomach ache from eating too much pizza.

Isn't that annoying?

I was thinking about Jaguar this morning, and how boring it is now. Sure they make some good sounding cars, and some ok looking cars, but it's not a Jaaaaaag anymore. The opulence is gone. It's taken the far east "quantity over quality" approach. sure, it's got nice leather and stuff, but it doesn't compare to the old quad eye XJR supercharged portfolio leather interior plush carpet Jaaaaaag. It SMELLED fancy. These days, to get that, you need a frickin bentley, and that makes me sad..

No? I thought the F-type qualified as a Jaaaaaaaaaag

My son and I were sitting on the front porch one morning when a squirrel come runnin over the fence and into my yard to bury a nut. My son asked "Pa? What's that squirrel doing?"

I said "Son, that there squirrel is stowin away food for the winter time. See, come winter time that there squirrel knows there aint gonna be no more nuts in that tree for him and his family to eat so he gathers up them nuts now and hides them away for when he needs them."

"That there squirrel is teachin us an important lesson son, he shows us that sometimes you gotta work through the easy times to make the hard times a little more easier."

"Now go get my gun son, that there damn squirrel is fixin to tear another hole in my lawn"

Oh you misunderstood. I don't mind dressing decently but this is the first job where there were "sights" to "see" If you catch my drift.

I'm super full after having our section holiday lunch at an old school Italain restaurant. Felt like a lot of mob deals took place there.

I see Lincoln Continental, Cadillac SeVille and 69 Camaro.

Nope. Nice car to be sure, but Jaaaaaag requires a top hat and a monocle. Like a sir. Not a hoon machine that that. Not to say the indians haven't been making nice cars, but I feel like they screwed up when they made the XJ not an XJ.

Time travel via the power of rabies!

Recently, I've rewatched some of Bukowski's poetry readings on YouTube. I need to reread some of his work.

My child has a drill and some of his paw patrol toys. Ima let this one ride.

Just had a series of absolutely stupid phone calls. First:

"Hi. What color are the Black All Season mats?"

Second one:

"Hello. I know this part is discontinued. Do you have it in stock?"

Seriously? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

And my last was an older asian man with a limited grasp of ennglish not understanding that I cannot see his car through the phone to tell him what piece he needs to replace. 21 minutes of round and round.

Hey, I'm back! Must be time for more Benedryl...

In reply to Woody:

I'm very disappointing in your lack of impaired posting.

Time to load up and get your keyboard on.

Oh, and my wife found this thread...

She informed me my 12 yo was actually an 11 yo. I think I'm coming down with oldtimers.

They say that local honey is supposed to be good for people with allergies. I just ate some local venison pepperoni. It's good for my garden.

There are worse places to make that mistake. A year doesn't sound like much until the police bust into your room at the motel 6 with a couple 15 year olds.

Edit: Another delayed post. This was for Toyman, not Woody and his road kill dinner.

In reply to Wally:

Just curious, what are the police doing with a couple of 15 year olds.

Entrapment or a sting depending on which side you're on.

I just got back from my kundergardeners school performance. It was cool. She did great.

In other news, there are some damn hot women at that school. Wowzers. Some were teachers, some moms. I need to find more of these things to go to.

MIlfs don't like it when you call them "things."
