I actually handed the phone to my crying daughter so that the BG rep could try explaining to her that she could just eat her chicken nuggets & fries the next time. One time I got takeout from Five Guys (burger place, if you aren’t familiar). I got back to work with my food and discovered that the double cheeseburger I ordered had no meat on it.?♂️ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stud-Flipper Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I used to come inside every evening as a child with my hands covered in yellowish-brown pecan stains. It'd take forever to scrub off. And my parents would yell at me. See, I had various secondhand action figures I'd gotten from yard sales but I wanted some realism in my play and didn't actually want to break too many of them. So, we had pecan trees in our yard and the squirrels would knock the pecans down before they got ripe, and I'd gather a dozen or so of them up. They had a soft green shell on them similar to felt. Good for writing on. I'd take a sharpie and write on each one a team role. "Medic" "Sniper" "Helicopter Pilot" "Captain" etc. You get the idea. Then I'd toss them in the grass and pretend they were a commando squad dropped into a jungle by helicopter to destroy a deadly beast that had been killing people. Sorta like Predator. That beast? A hammer. I'd take it and smash it into the group, some would "jump" out of the way and only get graze wounds, some would be smashed to death on impact. Then I'd look and see who died and slowly kill them off one by one till the last one destroyed the hammer monster. Sometimes, he'd pull a couple injured out with him. That's what was so fun about it. The randomness. Anybody could go at any time. With action figures, I'd be prone to only killing off the generic red shirt soldiers, and letting the leaders be the last one standing. But here there was real thrill. Anybody could go at any time. Only thing was when they smashed, that outer coating would almost puree and stain my hands up something awful. But I was.. the Pecan Smasher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stud-Flipper Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I got Chic-fil-A's polynesian sauce on my Prince CD in my car I cruise around the streets blasting at night to, so now my CD player won't work, and I have to listen to the radio. The hosts are constantly talking to each other over the first 30 seconds of a song until the lyrics hit, and I'm like "OK, you can shut up now.. OK... please.. I just wanna hear the music..." and that's when I can actually find a song, half the the time I get to a station I like I'm hit with about 5 minutes of ads and I live in Florida so it's always crab houses and water sports.

Poly 30286 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Need to buy 75953 Whomping Willow for October 16th. Looked at Target.com last night (screen shot 12:34am) saw $59.99 plus free $10 GC.

LegoWalker4 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Missing the Barnes & Noble Lego fun and madness this past weekend due to having emergency dental work for an infected tooth after enduring two days and restless nights dealing with unbearable pain that pain medications did little to relieve. This was on top of a sinus infection. The root canal is tomorrow morning and this ordeal will be over…So glad for those that got the great deals!

Alpinemaps Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Why the f**k can every school district in my County get bond measures to pass every single time, but my school district is the one that fails every time? F**king old people that live in my district seriously overran the polls and put out a disinformation campaign, and seriously prevented a school bond to go through that would build a f**king high school. Why don't they want it? The high school would be built in their back yard. F**king NIMBY's. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK are well aware of NIMBYs as there's far too many new homes being built, but they always have to be close to somebody who doesn't want new neighbours. I've never seen so many houses being built as there is right now, where are these extra 100,000,000 people going to come from to fill these new homes? There's nobody waiting for a new home within 5 miles of where I am so why are they being built? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
