The proper name for the event was the Boston Molassacre. I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

Hmm, the "single" thing might be a mix of "everything having to be perfect" and "way too much crap hanging around."

In the field of engineering I have met some quite interesting people. One fellow did his PhD thesis on the whole history leading up to, the exact reasons for, and the aftermath and cleanup of, the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. 

And yes, after learning about this, I read his thesis. 

Dark Tide by Stephen Puleo.  

Excellent book on the molassess flood. Highly recommended reading.

I just picked that book up a couple weeks ago for myself and a friend after I think you recommended it in another thread.  It is our favorite industrial disaster and we joke about it often.

Oh E36 M3! I didn't know Penn and Teller had roles in one of the Mad Max films!

Not all that far from the description of my house. Just replace "Buick parts" with "Guitars, bikes and Triumph parts".   And while I don't have parts in my kitchen cabinets, there is a shelving unit in the kitchen filled with mostly Triumph parts.  Yeah... I have a problem.

Penn and Teller voiced Pain and Terror in Borderlands 3, which is pretty Mad Max-esque. Also not very good either.

FTFY.

So you're a single guy too?

In reply to NickD :

I don't understand what I'm looking at there, but I don't watch Roadkill or any of the Youtube car shows, really.

This is the worst time of the year to be working from home on Zoom calls:  Daytona Bike Week. I did see a pair of guys w/Hoka Hey challenge patches on I-95 yesterday. Riding through the heaviest downpour possible in full leathers...and some clown in a jean jacket & no helmet ?~!? behind them.  I was impressed.  

I guess cruising A1A at 5mph under the speed limit while you go from one restaurant/bar to another is fun for some people.  The blaring music is almost as annoying as the exhaust noise.

I had some shiny happy people rent a vacation house a the end of my street and they decided to unload their bikes from the trailer at 11:30 last night.  wtf

In reply to Duke :

They were doing head gaskets on a Hemi in a hurry, and Tony Angelo was popping the head nuts loose with a huge breaker bar. He slipped and clobbered poor Mike Finnegan in the head with the breaker bar. There was a very distinct tink and Mike kind of recoiled and then started bleeding everywhere

We all know he'd thought about it before the hurricane. That's not desperation, that's an excuse. And probably a pretty good financial decision if that's a real M3.
