To the person who mis-dialed and sent three texts to my phone at 6:30 this morning, and is now getting the giggles by refusing to stop texting me;
I warned you that I have the ability to find out who you are, your home address, and even where you are at any given moment. I have done just that. Never dance with the Devil if you don't want him to follow you home...
My neighborhood has become a nightly hot spot for drift kids to "hoon" as they call it.
It would seem logical that if I were going to engage in illegal activity under cover of night, I would go for stealth. These kids have the absolute loudest and worst sounding exhausts I have ever heard. I swear they must be amplified in some way.
turn this up to earsplitting "wake you up in a panic at 2AM from 3/4" mile away" levels and you can start to get a grasp

Miata's, AE86's, S13's. They all sound exactly the same. Doing donuts in intersections, in culdesacs.
The industrial park section of town is just another 2 miles west. Far superior roads, no one around, noisy 24-7 manufacturing plants to drown it out. Nope, they gotta do it where the blue collar types are sleeping.
Figured I'd give it a shot and suck up the markup of getting the exhaust gasket for the Jeep from the dealership. Of course, they don't have one at the only one that I can get to on the scooter. -_-
Thanks Washington state, for charging me something that isn't sales tax but just happens to be the same percentage of my purchase as sales tax would have been... to register a car that I bought in another country.
Fun fact, the computer system that my county auditor's office uses thinks that a 62 Nova wagon has a curb weight of over six thousand pounds.
Thankfully the woman working there was as dismissive of that number as I was.
thanks to our Governor and his Halt on all road construction that was only lifted when the senate agreed to hike the gas tax.. on my 10 mile commute to work today, I had to drive through 5 separate work zones, some only separated by a couple 10ths of a mile. Six if you include the one on the other side of the highway going into Atlantic City.
What a wonderful time to get a cold.
It's not that I think I'm never wrong. It's that you're not always right.

You should see the pretzel-logic used to impose a new totally-not-a-sales-tax on practically everything by me earlier this year. Even big companies were confused about how to apply it, and only had a weekend to figure it out. Total effective sales taxes on practically everything are now edging close to 25% if you include the new totally-not-a-sales-tax.
Meanwhile, we have a miniature version of India's tax problem where many wealthy professionals - we're talking doctors and lawyers - simply choose not to pay income taxes. At all. And nothing happens to them.
Having a root canal done tomorrow afternoon........ just in time for thanksgiving!
Better than a rotten, abscess tooth. Those berkeleyers are just plain awful. Just ask me how I know.
Rather have 10 root canals than one.

You guys voted on where the money is getting earmarked with whereabouts unknown as well
Berkeley you, carpal tunnal. Just won't let me catch a break...
Bleeding motorcycle brakes is ridiculous. Why is a twelve ounce container the smallest available bottle? Seriously, I need two ounces MAX.
Well, into the cupboard you go little buddy. Say hello to the other 4 barely used bottles of hygroscopic fluid you live with now.
My company decided to pay OT to ALL salaried assistant managers because 10% were under the new FLSA levels. Now I have to track that; and even worse, implement it. Argggh
Your 10 business days have passed VW.....
Make it happen.
it's Wednesday, my sis and her nieces are down for thanksgiving. When does Saturday get here and they go home?
berkeley CL again
You want a running up to date 4-cylinder gas 15KW ONAN generator advertised at $300 and want to know how much wiggle room there is. Guy took charge as 'da boss' from the get... one talk down motherberkeleyer that one. Says he'll look at it. I'd just as soon scrap the motherberkeleyer and be done w/ it rather than deal w/ CL bosses.
15KW... not your garden variety.

Why is it so hard to put gas in a car? I shouldn't have to start my day in line with half the taxis in the city when I've got a bunch of things to do before the parade gets started.

I was wrong.. they are staying till Tuesday.
My sister is bi-polar. Rather than coping with it, working with it, or even taking medication with it, she enjoys the ride. This has made her worse and worse and worse over the years rather than getting better.
Couple that with her chain smoking and that little dry "cough cough" every 20 seconds and the fact she crashes at 9pm and gets up at 5am makes her totally at odds to how things are usually done in this house. Having a 16 year old and a 3 old at the same time is just icing on the cake.

My advice to you, is to start drinking heavily.

So why didn't you use one of those bottles you already had instead of buying a new one?

I had an uncle that worked a lot of overtime on the holidays. We later found out it was a convenient excuse to disappear for a while. Wandering around a casino watching people go broke could be an entertaining way to spend a day.
It's 2016, what possesses a person to send a magazine in the form of a 300MB+ Windows executable?
