I forgot what brand but my mom's has lifetime warranty.  Just call the company up and explain the problem then they send you a new one in the mail.

TIL that the kid in Jingle All The Way is played by Jake Lloyd, the kid who would play young Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Ep. 1

"The real thing we learned is that the name of the place lends itself to adolescent punning."

And what pray tell is adolescent punning(Menards)????? trying to learn sumpin' here

"Shop at Menard, be hoist on your own petard" is the best I can come up with.  And that's pretty bad.

As in what I always say when I'm getting out of the truck in their parking lot.  In a pirate voice:

Aye!  Look at MeNARDS!

And so on.  My wife's pretty sick of it, to be honest.  But she married me so that's on her.

Wae gets it.

"Whoa, it's almost winter; I can feel a cool breeze around Menard's tonight!"

I imagine it's either hilarious or annoying gathering shopping carts there, what with all of the comedians in the parking lot.

TIL  I learned there's a difference between a picture with words, even if it's funny(ish), and a real live meme.

TIL that 2020 has claimed The Toecutter and Immortan Joe.

TIL captdownshift's main life advice is don't get to the point that you drive a Dodge Journey.

In reply to Stampie (FS) :

YIL they still MAKE the Journey.  With the same boringtacular 2.4l port injected four, like it's 2008 or something.

I had a friend that chose to buy one new about 10 years back and she LOVED it.
 

TIL her taste in cars really is as bad as I thought. LOL.

Was the last Mad Max movie just a Burning Man documentary?

TIL RossD has yet to see Fury Road.

In reply to Appleseed :

Oh I watched it. My question still stands. Lol.

I still don't understand fury road....

Bad guy enslaves people. Other bad guy aims at redemption by freeing slaves. Freedom ends up not being a place to go to but elimination of main bad guy. 

It's about as simple as it gets

Meh, I didn't much like Fury Road.

It was better than Thunderdome.  Which raises the bar not even a little.

It's a car chase, with a lot of post-apocalyptic politics.
