Yup, peel the labels off and heat the can on the stove. Did that all the time in college. I hate doing dishes.

Heated? That's fancy there

Baked beans are fantastic right out of the can.

A few years ago, I went to an ice race at a lake in upstate New York. The only food that I could find in the area was a can of Chunky soup at a gas station. I parked my WRX out on the ice, popped the hood and set the can on top of the turbo for a while and then ate hot soup right out of the can.

Did a lot of similar things in the military. Used the hot plate of a hotel coffee maker to heat canned soup and chili. When I was a Chinook Flight Engineer in Alaska I kept C-rations under the aircraft heater ducts. I've wired cans to a broom stick and held in turbine engine exhaust (APU), after aircraft shut down set a can in the engine tailcone and put the exhaust cover on for several minutes. When you're hungry you find a way. Most of that canned stuff just isn't palatable unless heated. At least in the case of c-rats heated enough to melt the fat. For a couple of the ways mentioned, you have to watch how long you hold the can in the exhaust or the can will blow up.

Heating??? In can???? Hummmmmm This open up a whole new bunch of possiblitys.

Apparently, there's also something called "decorator" towels, that are not meant to be used, just nicely (painted!?!).

A man cannot determine the whether a towel is of this type or not prior to use.

I've never heard a Justin Bieber song.

It's kind of like, if you take Slayer, Pantera, and Amon Amarth, then found the exact reciprocal of that.

We had a major feud at work about the radio station. It was originally on a "rock" station that played 2 hours of music and was intensely moronic shock-jock talk radio the rest of the time. I absolutely could not stand being in the same building if that crap was on the air. Co-worker did not like my suggestion, a station that only plays music, 70s/80s easy rock, because "that's what my dad listened to" (umm, I'm almost 40, you're in your mid-50s..?) So we settled on this top 40 station as being the least annoying station for the both of us.

Although when he takes a day off, I turn the radio off. Or turn it to one of the college stations if there are metal programs on schedule.

Don't forget to add a vent hole in the can.

I'm sorry, if it is made of a fluffy, absorbent material, I'm drying off with it.

I once dried my hair with my free Guiness Bar Towel.

I recall reading that this is a really bad idea on account of the plastic lining in cans.

I totally avoid E36 M3ting at work at all costs due to the nastyness of the cleaning at our company. Yesterday the Reuben sandwich totally messed me up so I hit the shop bathroom after hours and was actually surprised how clean the guys keep it as it was a Thursday evening - two days of use after our Tuesday night cleaning.

In reply to Datsun310Guy: one should always E36 M3 at work. Getting paid to poop is one of life's sweetest gems.

I've gone a full work week without using any TP at home.

I found a sweet 1982 Cramit on the local CL for $900 that two of my buddies say they will go in on in thirds.

Its so tempting but the promise of mullets, glam rock and driveway burnouts might sway my decision

That would send me screaming to the kitchenette to find an icepick for my own ears. I would rather work out a compromise where he gets mornings and you get afternoons, or something. Luckily, I get command of the music in our office because nobody else wants to pick it. I try to change it up.

My boss listens to the crappiest of crappy Top 40 radio stations in his car. I can hardly stand to ride with him.

I'm a commission salesmen - going at work means less selling time and less money. I sometimes eat and drive to see customers - who has time for lunch? Maybe I should.....

I only had to be in court for an hour. I took the whole day off.

Bought a new race helmet....haven't told my wife yet. My old one expired. She's going to find out in less than two weeks, when she sees it on my head. Only feel guilty as I'm getting a new race car and garage this month too. I needed it though, otherwise the car would be worthless.

I didn't wear a belt today, while unbuttoning my pants in the restroom the button on my khakis feel off. My zipper pull is currently zip tied to the button hole on my pants.

I'm considering a pair of crocs. It would be my 4th pair, but only my 2nd pair that someone would look at and immediately think crocs.

I just sent a text message to a friend asking for a ride to work, and THEN remembered I fixed the Bravada and have access to a running vehicle now.

Pretty sure that I just ate part of a napkin.

Wife asked me to plant red and white flowers today .... Well, I did just that. However, they are arrayed in the form of a red University of Wisconsin "action W" surrounded by the white ones. Wonder what she'll say if/when she figures that out.

I've never done a burnout.

In reply to Appleseed: Buy a couple gallons of cheap bleach, or do a reverse drop.

I really want to stuff a magnum 318 and 5 speed in the amc challenge car. And build my own nitrous plate for it.

I also now have all the parts to make considerably more power in the elky, but doubt that I will because it runs so damn good, and has enough power for what I use it for.

I'm addicted to Costco organic tortilla chips. I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast and as I was waiting for the after to boil I snuck into my office this morning and ate a handful as a pre breakfast snack. Then I usually have some as my after Sunday night church service snack.

My next fix is my lunch tomorrow. I can't stop and the wife has been calling me out the past year on it.

Whoops.

In reply to G_Body_Man:

I left 4, there was a tree and a tow strap involved though.

I took the car for a cruise today just so i could do a burnout.
