I have to say that I cannot, and in the same sentence, thanks to all those that can. I know exactly what they are, though can say I've never had the need for them thanks to all those who served that made sure I didn't have to. I never served, but am damned lucky that I didn't have to thanks to...

Well, I had to think about it, but I'm not a child of the 80's. I'm a child of the 60's and they were certainly around back then. They are what I thought they are, but I just don't remember expiry dates on them. Some of those probably were left over from the 60's and just got expiry dates...

Had to be Artificial Intelligence. Sure wasn't any Real Intelligence.

Can't count the time the electricians with one of our preferred contractors would put about a hundred zip ties on the driveshaft of my truck. At first, I got pissed that I had to crawl under there to get them off. Then, I found out if they beat under the truck enough, it would remove a lotta...

I like it!

Never forget the folks that rely on AI mostly were eating Tide pods a few years ago.

I officially declared war on chipmunks about 15 years ago. It's going about as well as some other wars. They are PERSISTENT!

Nice place you got there. Like the rolling hills. Should get plenty deer in when those trees mature enough to start bearing acorns. A lot better for them than corn feed.

Even simpler. Bury the body vertical (standing up) and place an endangered species plant on the dig site. Bob's yer uncle.

And the triple dog dare left no options.

We had one of the ’cube’ type gym sets like that one in your photo, but also a larger pyramid type with a center pole much like a fireman’s pole to slide back down after climbing to the top. I still wonder what kind and how much math was used to determine just how close to death a child would be...

Milk cartons in the 60's had the same usefulness. We had one like that in the children's home that I grew up in, and another that was probably at least 20 feet high with no guard rails other than the hand rails for the ladder. Dunno, maybe kids back then understood gravity better and didn't...

This reminds me of, ummm, ME! ME and the missus more often than not fall asleep with the TV on. Probably has a little to do with being at least 30 years older than this couple.

The Definition of Stress Stress: When the mind overrides the body's basic desire to choke the everlovin' sh** out of someone who desperately deserves it.

Those little pumps from HF are the bees knees. A couple new D-cells each year empties a 5 gallon can in less than 10 minutes. I set the can on the loader boom and stick the pump in and Bob’s yer uncle. I wait until I know 5 gallons will fit and just empty the can.
