Somehow I had never read the actual Grover posts before, and now I am left dumbfounded. The little extra jokey bits about drugging his wife just draw attention to it: he was trying to spice up what he thought was a totally normal, even boring, discussion of standard electrician work, oh my god

"the Ol Wifenheimer, fuzzed out of her mind on black bombers and kratom, skittered by like a trembling woodcutter ant with several dozen sheets of plywood hoisted above her quietly jabbering head" is one of those quotes i remember the spirit of but not the letter, and i love it more each time i'm reacquainted with the original

I dreamed once that I was banging Tina Fey under a waterfall. It was really nice! Two days later, I saw that she was pregnant with her first child, and I felt a moment of panic. What have I done?

elise the great posted:I lived in a more beautiful world for a few minutes ah but the reason those little stories are so good is because they're very nearly real! he really did have like two dozen electrical outlets in his kitchen, one every three feet on every surface, and in bizarre spots like above the cupboards he really did fail the code inspections on more than one occasion, and eventually used his engineering degree to sign off on his own plans when no one else would he really did post about how both he and his wife were taking adderall/etc and on more than one occasion talked about getting hopped up and doing a ton of work in a manic state

I’ve seen outlets above cupboards before, most frequently used for speakers.

I doubt Grover was planning that far ahead though. I imagine him in an Adderall frenzy growling "Mooooore. Mooooore outletssss" through clenched teeth as he screws on the 35th one.

my grandparents had the weirdest outlets in their kitchen, it was this weird strip in the wall that went all along the countertop and above the cabinets. the strip had two deep grooves in it, along the entire length of the strip. these grooves were where the electrical plugs went into the outlet, each strip was one super long outlet that could fit countless plugs into it. it was insane and i've never seen anything like it before or since. there was no little third opening for ground either, just the two grooves for the two main prongs on a plug.  basically like that only super long, all along the countertop from one end of the wall to the other, and same above the cabinets. i've asked other people about this and everyone thinks i'm either crazy or making it up

I tend to have vivid dreams about things I'm been doing lately. That may be Buffy the Vampire Slayer when I watched the whole show (and Angel) at a pace of 8 hours or more per day, or my job as a hard physical laborer now. I liked the dreams about Buffy more.

They say Tap-A-Line is safe but wouldn't it be relatively easy to electrocute yourself with it?

I could see people getting in to all kinds of trouble from trying to get as many plugs into it as possible. Looks like it was built to be overloaded.

Moon Slayer posted:It's a depressing idea but I got a grim chuckle out of that turn of phrase. I think they meant Roma, who are not Travelers, though? Travelers are their own thing and primarily a british isles offshoot, complete with it's own british version of 'oh they all steal you know?'. I agree with the jist of the quote, though. We're hella loving racist about Roma people, and I've known several people who I figured weren't racist cockbags just casually throw out that line as if it was 100% natural and truthful.
