I loving wish cops would enforce the "keep right except to pass" law we have here in Colorado. There are a lot of fuckers in the Denver area that make a point of driving slow in the left lane and it's loving infuriating.

Yeah I get a call at least once a week on my mobile from some student loan re-financing place in Illinois. Every time I listen to the voicemail it starts in about halfway through the pre-recorded spiel right at the point where they say "this is your final notice..."

It's not that it's unstable, it's that if you put your trucks on backwards leaning right turns you left and vice versa.

The above is true.

OR you can move to a place like Des Moines where the police aren't raging dick heads because the populace aren't raging dick heads making everyone on edge.

The amount of stress the average citizen in a major city experiences on their BEST day has to dwarf the stress in a Des Moines or Omaha on their worst day.

Actually Omaha had one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country as recently as last year. And I know at one point in the recent past North Omaha had the worst child poverty rate in the country.

The issue is that clowns do look weird up close, but that's because traditional clown facepaint was designed to be seen from the bleachers in a circus, not up close. It's mean to exaggerate and make visible facial expressions from a distance, and does look odd up close.

That and the classic "Creepy Clown" was originally designed to BE creepy and off, and people just start thinking that's what clowns look like so now when people design clowns they make them look creepy even if they don't mean to.

This is what modern Circus Clowns look like:

Wait till you're 36 and realize the things that were important to you 8 years ago now mean nothing and you let the one thing you truly cared about go because you couldn't find a middle ground.

There will be nights when you're walking home with a random woman you've just picked up in a bar and you'll let your liquor soaked mind pretend it's actually someone that holds meaning to you. You'll call her a different name by mistake, but you'll both ignore it and then quietly make your way home after she falls asleep. You'll make drunken small talk with the cab driver, unload a bunch of baggage on him, then tip him a $20 once you get home.

You'll slide into bed and look at your ex's number through slightly misty eyes and wonder to yourself if she still had the same number. Then you'll wonder if she'd even answer if you called. You'll realize that the answer to both is obviously no and sleep will slowly fall over you. Right before you slip into unconsciousness you'll mutter to the dark emptiness of your room, "At least I don't work Saturdays."

More football schadenfreude: my child goes to the same high school I did. A few days back, I, my wife, and our other kids were at the football game supporting our child. They were playing against the actual high school football team from the movie "Friday Night Lights", and our scrappy little high school happens to be the one that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. The other team is playing super seriously, taking a few cheap shots, and generally being dicks. Even their marching band is seriously overblown, and causes halftime to go way beyond its allotted time limits with their grand scale performance. Thanks to a couple of turnovers, the other team has managed to gain a small lead with very little time remaining in the game. In an astonishing scoring drive, featuring the same star player that helped knock them out of the playoffs last year, a last-second touchdown by our team for the victory shut them and their enormous marching band up but good. This marks the first time I've cared about the outcome of a football game, if only because they were being aggressive and risking injury to our team members needlessly.

Thanks for the poo poo story, pal

Well thanks guys but I assure you it's purely accidental. It's pretty hard to even care about rule of thirds when you're traveling 80 MPH. Feel free to post it in the Trump thread if you want, I'm sure they'll get a kick out of it.

Here's the only other shot I was able to get that shows the state of the roof/wall better but it doesn't have the signs visible.


I feel like I'm probably going to start an ugly derail with this but uhh the real schadenfreude would've been you getting in crash due to the incredibly dangerous activity of taking pictures while bombing down the road at 80 mph.

I was filling up my car about six months ago when a guy tried to vape at the pump near me and got seriously yelled at over the (incredibly loud) speaker system from the bloke working there. I believe it started with "What the hell do you think you're doing you bloody drongo!" and only got better from there.

The petrol station was attached to a mall parking lot, so there were literally hundreds of people around looking at the guy and how stupid he was.

When I went inside to pay, the vaping idiot was trying to argue with him that he should be allowed to vape while filling because the vape isn't "electronic" and can't cause sparks or anything.

i mean, his reasoning is wrong and dumb, but it's no more dangerous than a mobile phone (the battery voltages are literally the same)

it's also like the pinnacle of FYGM because of this juicy nugget:

quote:

The proposition decreased property taxes by assessing property values at their 1975 value and restricted annual increases of assessed value of real property to an inflation factor, not to exceed 2% per year. It also prohibited reassessment of a new base year value except for in cases of (a) change in ownership, or (b) completion of new construction.

Lot's of people do sell them. But then what do you do? Housing is crazy expensive in San Francisco. Trading to another place is just a zero sum game. So you have to take that money and move somewhere less expensive. And people do that. And then they pay capital gains tax on the non-excluded portion of the gains.

But there's this thing called community. Lot's of old people don't want to leave theirs. Probably because they have strong family and community ties to the place they've liven in for decades. Change is hard when you're old.
