The New Coffee Room

I'm sorry to hear of soccer's imminent demise. RIP. I know a lot of people will miss it.

Forget the Banana I'm saving my pennies to buy the Monet.

More Russian saber rattling.

Quite an interesting chart.

The only people that think the criminals are the smartest people in the room are the criminals.

My wife would've wanted to throw away all the bags. Then sell the house.

I'm not really into the action-ey type movies. Mission Impossible? Meh...

Reacher got boring after 3 episodes.

Gimme Sandbaggers (which is fabulous, I must repeat myself), Line of Duty, etc.

lol that bull is so dumb. Probably a DEI hire lol

Where's the MAGAT whisperer?

Magats clap like seals at anything that reminds them of a circus. Also they were hoping the bull would gore the guy in the butt, because that’s extra hilarious.

How was Orlando?

Warm and humid, honestly not sure how folks can stand it during the day. But the evenings make up for it...beautiful nights in the low 70s and breezy.

Took the 3 young kids to Disney World for 2 days (3 nights), overall had a great time. I'd never been either, the operations of that place is mind boggling. Then went to Clearwater Cocoa Beach to show the kids what a real beach looks like, not the wimpy lake beaches we have here. Our 6 year old couldn't get enough of the waves and the boogie board. Very fun to watch. Taught them how to catch sandcrabs after the waves come in. I toured Kennedy Space Center with my FIL... that was a great experience. Next time I'll have to plan to go for 2 days to see it all. (Thanks for asking btw)

Remember the heady days when it was OK to call someone a chickenhawk?

We should lock them up before they build detention camps.

“Chair fly” is almost as cool as “air guitar.”

Really?

Easiest question ever

@89th said in Burned or Buried?:

When you die, what are you picking?

As a kid I mostly thought everyone was buried, so I've always had that expectation. Recently found out my wife (and her parents) prefer cremation. I can also sense @Copper 's indifferent reaction to this!

Buried.

I'm freaking 6'4".* It would be a terrible insult to the zombie community if I didn't make my body available post-mortem.

*maybe 6'3" with my shoes off as @jon-nyc would be fond of pointing out but I don't give a shit, the point is, I'd make a good zombie.

Ha, that is funny. Does remind me a little of how you used to be able to drive in front of the Lincoln Memorial (and white house... all very, very much blocked off these days.

@Copper said in Obese on airplanes:

If those are the upgraded seats, I wouldn't want to be in plain old coach.

I just received a refund from American Airlines.
The only explanation was:

Refund for: Preferred Seat
Refund amount: 28.76 USD

My guess is that they changed equipment and I got a seat that wasn't preferred. That might explain the not so great legroom.

It looks like the house next door is ok. Did they have straps?

"WWAD" is not a bad metric to use in spiteful situations.

Especially if you do not fear incarceration.
