15 years or so ago, when the PS2 was a big dea,l I had one. With two games. The Tomb Raider series (i finally beat all three games) and that gangster driving game where you could kill people and pick up prostitutes – the name escapes me.
Never was into video games, but those were fun time killers.
GTA San Andreas was the best of that series. I thought about getting 5 but the criticisms I’ve heard (“too much movie”, “mediocre gameplay”) have kept me away.
GTA – that was it.
I think #3 is where I started. Isn’t that when the 3D stuff started? Then it moved to a Miami Vice thing. I might’ve had the San Andreas one, but don’t really remember. I think I was playing pool at a local bar by then and gave my console to the kids next door in an effort to spend time with actual girls.
FWIW, Pepe, I’m loving my new blade. I’ve cut myslef twice already!
Only had to use it to open a bag of birdfood so far, but it’s there and ready to stab a bad guy when necessary.
Thanks!
And, jam is thinking the same as I am.
That song always makes me think of my best friend in the world, Bruce. For some reason, he always played that song when we talked on the phone – said it reminded him of me. Bastard killed himself a few years ago and I still haven’t forgiven him.
Thank you Teresa. I was reticent to even mention it because of you – but we must move on. I can’t even imagine your pain…
3 times in 3 years I’ve had friends do that. Certainly not comparable to your experience – you remain in my prayers, I promise.
You are a Rockstar in my book, TiFW.
You know how I remember your name? You were one of three people I know of that called Joffen when he reached out one night. I have never forgotten you since then.
Nice customer service story of the day:
My phone charging cable was about to die. Fraying. Mom bought this one at Target back in October. I took it back today, and they actually replaced it for free after a minute of me being an ass.
First time I’ve stepped foot in a Target since they let dudes in the girls bathroom, so I was surprised that they cared for my business at all.

My Kenmore dryer suddenly has a fucked up door. There’s something called, appropriately enough, the dryer switch. Somehow it got bent the wrong way. I bent it most of the way back so the door closes but if we want to do laundry I’ll need to use duct tape on the door to keep it from popping open mid cycle.
It’s coming on Monday via Amazon. I looked at the blue and orange apron stores’ websites and they don’t list much in the way of dryer parts. After watching a few videos I figure it’ll be a snap*
We had a showing scheduled for 430PM, and we were letting it happen because the buyers are closing on the sale of their place at 6PM and we wanted to cover the bet.
They cancelled at 412PM after I left work early to clean the house at 3PM.
I’m sure that LaQueesha was biting her tongue. I stopped counting how many times she’s axed me a question at 4.
If my BDU dress was triggering her, I’d apologize. Otherwise, I’ll cut a bitch!

Heh. I wish I could find that conversation from 3 years ago where this was the main discussion on the ONT. In the three or four hours we talked about it, cthulhu could’ve fixed his dryer and had three loads of laundry done and folded.
I think the new switch cost $10 or so. I drank more than that in bourbon while we hashed it out.
Meat birds? Are those the same thing as yard scratchers?
I really want some, but the regular in city limits are ridonculous. Limit of four, minimum 1 acre, no roosters (understandable), city wants 24/7 access to come inspect property, etc, etc…
That’s in the plan, Laura. I want to do a dual-purpose breed and keep some as layers. Cockerels will be meat for sure, as well as any extra pullets. This means fertile eggs, but that’s fine if you don’t let them get incubated.
There are some building things and horse stuff that have to happen first, unfortunately. Seeding and growing out the pasture and setting the barrier trees are likely to be the things that get done this year.
Two of the three videos I watched made a big deal of UNPLUG THE MACHINE at the start of the video and the other guy casually mentioned it halfway through.
“Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.”
The priest asks, “Is that you, little Joey Pagano?”
“Yes, Father, it is.”
“And who was the girl you were with?”
“I can’t tell you, Father. I don’t want to ruin her reputation.”
“Well, Joey, I’m sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?”
“I cannot say.”
“Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?”
“I’ll never tell.”
“Was it Nina Capelli?”
“I’m sorry, but I cannot name her.”
“Was it Cathy Piriano?”
“My lips are sealed.”
“Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?”
“Please, Father! I cannot tell you.”
The priest sighs in frustration. “You’re very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you’ve sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for four months. Now you go and behave yourself.”
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, “What’d you get?”
My buddy from a few doors down just ran his 10 second Nova down the street. A bracket car he rarely pulls out of the garage these days. As he passed my house, the hood flew off & flipped in the air like a playing card.
Luckily, it didn’t land on the paint, and only has two small cracks in the fiberglass.
I’m an electrician by trade. I routinely work on stuff that’s hot (residential, sometimes commercial). It’s no big deal. It’s easier to test test by hand than it is to walk a few hundred feet to a panel. Amperage kills you, voltage doesn’t.
The key is to not let it flow through your entire body – from finger to thumb stings a little. From finger to toes knocks you on your ass.
Paula went out with some ER friends tonight too. Casino night!
There’s been a lot of stress around here with the older boy doing everything he can to sabotage himself with 2-3 months left of HS as well as sticking his dick in crazy. He’s been told by everyone he knows that bitch be crazy for the last couple of months. Her actions are proving everyone right and it’s drawing to a close (we hope).
i’m connecting my diggitle anntenny –
haven’t used an antenna since the good old days at band camp
i’ve already got the firestick dealio packed with so much shit to watch that i spend more time trying to figure out what i CAN watch than actually watching anything.
i’m pretty confident that i’ll be back to watching next to nothing as soon as the novelty wears off; probably monday.
I stand firmly by my assertion that it’s perfectly acceptable to stick it in crazy. It can be a boatload of fun. You just don’t let know crazy know where you live.
There’s a lot of crazy there Chi. He’s facing his own uphill battle with life and he doesn’t need help to hit a new low. He’s plenty capable of that on his own without an equally clueless girl looking for a baby and a check
I’ve refrained from going into all this because every week there’s been at least 2 or 3 jaw droppers. It’s causing us a lot of stress, especially for Paula. She’s gained some insight into this ho through friends and it’s all bad news. I could write pages and pages about this but I’m doing my best to just support Paula and not kick him out of the house. June 10th…less than 3 months.
I’m jealous because they’re living the good life, but I’m also not jealous because I understand that having animals that prevent me from leaving town for reasonably fun periods of time would seriously suck.
I understand, Jimbro. And I feel for you.
I think I’m older than you and I’ve never been married. Never had my own kids (my greatest regret in life).
I lived in dive bars on cheap whiskey and cheaper women, so I know crazy. I let one get close, and that about killed me when she left – not because of her, but the two beautiful kids that called me Dad for almost 5 years.
I’ve been a hermit ever since, and have been determined to remain so for eternity. Somehow, convince that boy to get his shit together or he’ll become a bitter old man like me. He doesn’t want that, I promise you.

I miss Cuffy, I just saw on Twitter where he referred to Hillary as Aunt Bunny.
I hate to contradict shreddercheese, because it would be nice if the kid didn’t end up a lonely and bitter old man, but he has to make his own decisions and his own mistakes. I like the man I am today, but I had to make a fucking huge number of bad decisions to get here. I woudn’t be me without them. And trying to convince someone who’s hellbent on doing something fucked up usually has the effect of causing them to double down.
I sort of stumbled into fatherhood after my divorce when I met Paula. Our fucked up family functions fairly well for the most part. Some days are tougher than others but we make it work. After he hopefully graduates Paula will try to support him from a distance, not financially, but with advice and any guidance he’ll take.
You hit the nail on the head with “double down” Sean.

This may sound awful, but I won’t date single moms. I can’t do the step-parent thing. I want kids of my own, but coming from a broken home with a bitch of a stepmom and a mother who married multiple times… no. Plus, I just don’t have the temperament for it. God bless you Jimbro for trying to just be there and be supportive.
Comment by Colorado Alex In Exile on March 16, 2018 8:43 pm
That doesn’t sound awful, Alex. In fact,I knew that about you and was thinking of you as I typed. To each his own, right? I wouldn’t write off a single Mom though…
I will say that those were the best five years of my life. I got to teach a young boy to ride a bike, throw a spiral, do a belly flop…
I got a kiss from “my girl” after teaching her to sew a patch on her girlscout vest, i got to show her the Mall in D.C. and climb the stairs of the Monument, all the memorials (including Arlindlgton), and show her how to do a lay-up. Her own gramma said that I was the best thing that ever happened to those kids. I’ll never forget the nightly routine of sitting at the table doing homework – I can die happy.
Comment by roamingfirehydrant on March 16, 2018 9:23 pm
CoAlex, I am sorry you had a bitch of a stepmom. Maybe it’s because I’m older, or maybe because she’s a friend, not a mother figure, but my stepmom’s great, one of the nicest people on earth. Now here’s the weird part – her own kids don’t speak to her. I don’t know what happened, but there’s a stepbrother and a stepsister I’ve never met in 8.5 years. I’ve reached out to them through email with no luck.
And yes, God bless you, Jimbro, for being supportive. Marriage is hard enough without someone in the house trying to hit the high score in stupid games.
I could write pages and pages about this but I’m doing my best to just support Paula and not kick him out of the house. June 10th…less than 3 months.
My neighbor’s son has been on that path for the past several years. Dick in a 30 something with 3 kids. She doesn’t want to get married because she’d lose her ‘benefits’. He tells his parents that she is on birth control. He’s going from job to job…smoking…drinking.
They finally kicked him out a few weeks ago.

I’m watching Paralympics curling. No sweeping, not as much yelling, but I think more of a challenge to put the right spin and force on the rock.
“Benefits.”
Don’t get me started on that shit. My ex made more on a monthly basis to sit on the couch eating bonbons and watching Hallmark movies than I did working 10 hour days pulling wire & crawling through attics – she was collecting “benefits”
Between food stamps, unemployment and EBT (or whatever), she was making enough to live like a queen. Rent free at Mom’s house, $546 in food stamps, add in my pay paycheck I was throwing in, no wonder she could afford to buy an eightball a week & snort that shit behind my back…
Aaaarrrrrgghhh. F it all. We
Six or seven, I believe. After thinking about it tonight, could probably fit another one up there.

I put together a poat for tomorrow morning, but it’s not St. Patrick’s themed. Feel free to change the scheduled date to Sunday and put up something Irish.
I pulled that first picture from Imgur, the top comment was “Cool starry bra!” which I think is rather clever.
The musical selection is a song/band I had never heard before that popped up on a playlist on my Spotify app, sounds like old school ACDC.
She seems nice boobs
I’d love to watch her eating the Lesbian salad

Also like that Airborne song. They do remind me a bit of AC/DC.

Her interview snippet and facial physiognomy tell me that she’s kinda dumb but not malignant about it.
Isn’t “kinda dumb” a prerequisite for BBF?

AC/DC is a really good comparison. Almost expected a short pants school uniform.

Good morning, bitches who aren’t in Florida.

Penelope: I’ve got to go to Socorro today, ‘bye.
ME: WTF????
Every time people come by for branding or whatever, she takes off and leaves me to deal with everything. Really pissed off.
Plus I got in after 1:00 in the morning. We had to go pick up some equipment in Phoenix yesterday. Today should be fun.

Sorry about your friend, Chi. It has been six months since Michelle’s suicide – there is no understanding of that particular act.
But today is about the boobies….
Thank you Teresa. I was reticent to even mention it because of you – but we must move on. I can’t even imagine your pain…
3 times in 3 years I’ve had friends do that. Certainly not comparable to your experience – you remain in my prayers, I promise.
But you’re right:
..your eyes knew the darkness in his soul, I guess…
That is sad, chi, I’m sorry.
That bebbeh needs a squish or three.
Don’t EVER worry about that, Chi (or anyone else)!
And in keeping with today’s theme, our Michelle did have a magnificent rack (even she said so….)
You are a Rockstar in my book, TiFW.

I think the new switch cost $10 or so. I drank more than that in bourbon while we hashed it out.
Meat birds? Are those the same thing as yard scratchers?
I really want some, but the regular in city limits are ridonculous. Limit of four, minimum 1 acre, no roosters (understandable), city wants 24/7 access to come inspect property, etc, etc…
*regular =regulations
That’s in the plan, Laura. I want to do a dual-purpose breed and keep some as layers. Cockerels will be meat for sure, as well as any extra pullets. This means fertile eggs, but that’s fine if you don’t let them get incubated.
There are some building things and horse stuff that have to happen first, unfortunately. Seeding and growing out the pasture and setting the barrier trees are likely to be the things that get done this year.
$8 for the switch, $4 to have it here Monday. I’m working all day Monday but will have time Tuesday I hope after an early case I just booked.
When I fixed the washing machine switch I forgot to unplug the machine first.
ZOT!
On the plus side it fixed my tennis elbow.
I didn’t really fix it, I bypassed it. Now we can do laundry with the lid up.

CoAlex, I am sorry you had a bitch of a stepmom. Maybe it’s because I’m older, or maybe because she’s a friend, not a mother figure, but my stepmom’s great, one of the nicest people on earth. Now here’s the weird part – her own kids don’t speak to her. I don’t know what happened, but there’s a stepbrother and a stepsister I’ve never met in 8.5 years. I’ve reached out to them through email with no luck.
And yes, God bless you, Jimbro, for being supportive. Marriage is hard enough without someone in the house trying to hit the high score in stupid games.
I could write pages and pages about this but I’m doing my best to just support Paula and not kick him out of the house. June 10th…less than 3 months.
My neighbor’s son has been on that path for the past several years. Dick in a 30 something with 3 kids. She doesn’t want to get married because she’d lose her ‘benefits’. He tells his parents that she is on birth control.
He’s going from job to job…smoking…drinking.
They finally kicked him out a few weeks ago.
McCabe has been fired. WOOHOO! Now indict the sumbitch.
Now indict the sumbitch.
Yep.
Excellent!
Our new GM doesn’t believe in locking merchandise up. If we engage and practice friendly behaviors, people won’t steal. $10,000 in stolen razors later….
I’m watching Paralympics curling. No sweeping, not as much yelling, but I think more of a challenge to put the right spin and force on the rock.
Does Roamy follow Mr T on Twitter?
“Benefits.”
Don’t get me started on that shit. My ex made more on a monthly basis to sit on the couch eating bonbons and watching Hallmark movies than I did working 10 hour days pulling wire & crawling through attics – she was collecting “benefits”
Between food stamps, unemployment and EBT (or whatever), she was making enough to live like a queen. Rent free at Mom’s house, $546 in food stamps, add in my pay paycheck I was throwing in, no wonder she could afford to buy an eightball a week & snort that shit behind my back…
Aaaarrrrrgghhh. F it all. We
Hugs to Shred. I can’t remember how many bullwhips
My 20 yr vet dad got less than addict family
Six or seven, I believe. After thinking about it tonight, could probably fit another one up there.
*actually, my initial response was a wonderful movie quote that garnered a little attention. I earned my Stripes, you might say.
I do follow Mr. T, but I am way behind on Twitter. Keeping up with Homer Hickam as he fights a bigoted dean in CA who won’t let a rocket team compete here.
Citrus College is in my neck of the woods. I can’t believe the administrators won’t let them go even after they raised the funds privately.
Not only won’t let them go, threatening to expel them if they do compete.

Sounds like a 1A infringement of freedom of association.
Someone brought up commerce clause. I’m just wondering how this little hissy fit is supposed to help LGBTQWERTYAA or punish Alabama.
I put together a poat for tomorrow morning, but it’s not St. Patrick’s themed. Feel free to change the scheduled date to Sunday and put up something Irish.
Oh, I got something Irish I could put up right here!
(I don’t even know what I’m talking about.)
My heritage is Scottish and (mostly) Franco-German. I have zip Irish heritage.
I’m still gonna drink some Guinness.
Ok, I’m about ready to punch my computer monitor. I hate the online homework site that I have to use for my programming class.
Let me sleep all night in your derp kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I’ll wander, baby
Stumblin’ in the neon groves
It’s German-American Day and we’re all wearing lederhosen, right?
