TheWife makes a funny
Me: Why does a bread truck need two guys in it? Is it really heavy bread?
TheWife: Maybe it's gluten-free.

I keep my personal life pretty personal, so I don’t think many of you know my father is somewhat famous. He’s a world-class inventor, but lacks common sense.
He spent his youth bumming around the Southwest, just getting by, and spending all his time and money tinkering with his insane creations. Some of them worked pretty well; some of them were complete bombs. Thing is, pops is a...

kfedup:
I’m going to eat my cinema display.
Stuck here in the desert, there’s no hope of a lobster roll, but…I saw a recipe today for an interesting (albeit inferior) alternative. Shrimp and deviled egg salad roll.
It might slake my craving. Or it might stoke it; I’m not sure.

Ha, none :) I bought this candy I’ve been looking for for a long time - chocolate covered seafoam, also called honeycomb or sponge candy. I LOVE IT! And it’s hard to find now for some reason.
BUT, the other interesting chocolate covered things were - choc covered honeybuns (Ack!), and choc covered Ding Dongs, Ho-hos,...

Early Onset of Night: Story time. →
Several years ago, I was the assistant manager of a liquor store. It was called Queen City Liquors and it was a really nice place to work. The owner and manager was Margaret, a very cool older woman who had won the store in a divorce, like, 20 years previously.
Obviously, we sold alcohol of all kinds, but also alcohol paraphernalia, like shot glasses, wine glasses, styrofoam coolers, beer...

I fell asleep at 8:30pm and woke up at 6am.
mrsbadcrumble:
I was not exaggerating about the exhausted, apparently.
Today I’m bringing in a coffee maker. “Probably 50% of the people here don’t drink coffee for religious reasons” means that there’s no coffee in the office and there’s nowhere close by to get any. I hope they don’t hate the smell of coffee, because that sucker’s going to be percolating all day long.
COFFEE!

Quinoa is nasty. I assume there’s some kind of mass possession happening.
If it’s cooked right, it can be awesome. It’s really good if you make it like dirty rice: chicken livers, shallots, a bit of wine to finish…

If I get sucked into one more totally awesome British show (Downton Abbey, Sherlock Holmes Masterpiece, etc) only to be left with a cliff-hanger and no new episodes for a year, I’mma lose my shit. This is torture.
Good thing there are 5,000 episodes of Hoarders waiting in my queue.
I just, not five minutes ago, finished the first series of Sherlock.
“Cliffhanger”...

Unmasking the dark secret behind gay marriage
It finally came to me when I saw a comment elsewhere about how New York City Clerks aren’t ready with new marriage license forms. The commenter suggested Wite-out. And then I knew.
Gay marriage is a conspiracy, paid in full by Mike Nesmith. That explains why he finally relented to going on the reunion tours: he needed liquid cash to capitalize his astroturf campaigns.

Argyle makes you demonstrably hotter.
love-and-radiation:
Really. I can prove this with graphs.
It is not a two-axis graph. It is a three-axis graph. The third axis is for weight. The fatter you get, the less effect argyle has, until you pass the Fatty Arguckle point and argyle actually makes you less hot.
I’d show you data points, but I don’t like to be photographed.
