      I’m sure it means something. But none of us knows what.

      Haha!... I've seen Tori Amos in concert, so I feel I got an extra big laugh out of this one haha...Ya know...They should really do a Home Movies/Bob's Burgers crossover!  That would be Awesome!  

  2. "My grass ain't gonna paint itself!" - dumb-ass Michigan redneck protesting the state's 'stay-at-home' order. This is NOT the time to play politics.

      At least in Florida, the "stay at home" order explicitly call out a whole bunch of reasonable exceptions: getting groceries, exercising, walking your pets, going to the vet, doctor... obviously mowing your lawn falls into that.  "Stay at Home" and "social distancing" doesn't mean "don't ever go outside of your house."  Of course, the value/risk proposition is different if you're in a crowded city instead of a spread-out suburb...  I think most people see a phrase like "stay at home" and make a whole bunch of assumptions without either thinking... or reading.

      ...for example: I haven't read Michigan's rules for this, but I assume it is not "never leave your house." ;)

      Michigan governor is being completely unreasonable and draconian. On the one hand you want people to stay home if possible, but on the other hand you have the governor laying down new restrictions at her whim, every day. It is going to be mowing season and general lawn care season real soon, it's practically on top of us now. You can't be telling businesses that are open anyway, not to sell in entire departments of their stores. Ok, you can technically go outside to mow your grass, but you're not allowed to purchase the parts and maintenance for your tractor, or hedge trimmers, or seeds to plant your garden with? It's a good thing people are protesting that shit.

  3. "tightened that bad sucka 'side the runway like a motha" RIP all the old, un-PC movies of our childhoods. Things were better, in the past.

      I would rather take fifty of The Underground Comedy Movie, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Poultrygeist, or the Ungovernable Films' filmography over PC-friendly crap any day. In fact, I'm working on an un-PC comedy film that can be best summarized as Love at Stake + Date With an Angel + Newgrounds' brand of raw and crude. (Pre-Legendary-Frog-and-Eddsworld Newgrounds, I might add.)

      You're missing out. The sliders are only part of the appeal. The chicken rings are damn good for fast food, and I also enjoy their fish sandwiches..

      I don't know what would be my second favourite.  I preferred Frontline Assembly to Front242 back then, although I still liked both but I don't listen to much of either anymore.  Mellowed in my old age and prefer something a bit more poppy from VNV Nation or Assemblage 23.

  18. Dropped my phone in the toilet about an hour ago. Wonderful. We are now reliant on my girlfriend's phone. Our only link to the outside world. Besides AA of course.

      Tried the rice trick, but ended up just buying a new phone. Arrived today. I cannot express how much I loathe setting up a new phone. And losing all kinds of data, including old text messages.

      jd_1138

      What kind of phone did you buy?  I use Google services, so all my data just follows me when I get a new phone.  Sometimes you can connect the 2 phones via BT and then move your contacts and messages over, but your phone was toast so that wasn't possible.

      @jd_1138 I'm with Boost Mobile. Bought an LG Tribute Royal. All my apps were restored, contacts of course..  and some settings. All pics were on the unaffected microSD card. But I refuse to put my life 'on the cloud'.

  19. First night of a four-day weekend. Life is good.

  20. GF and I broke in the brand new Weber charcoal grill with some ribeyes and potatoes. Outside kittens were very curious and supportive!

      Cool, I found her older movie Foxes 1980, to be surprisingly good.

      My favorite of her films is probably Little Man Tate from '91.

  22. Goddamnit. Got a call from my boss today telling me we are in fact 'essential' after I've had the week off. I'm expected to show up for work on Monday. In Wayne County. In DETROIT. I'm still on the fence...

      “For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
      For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,
      For the want of a horse the rider was lost,
      For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
      For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
      And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.”

      This is why almost every part of our economy is essential. You can't just shut down what some bureaucrat deems non-essential without affecting everything else.

      My company was declared an essential service as well.

      I've been working from home for two weeks and it's driving me bonkers.

      My supervisor has his hands full working on-site doing physical work, so I've told him I am happy to come onsite to give a helping hand.

      We're waiting for executive approval, but I've been told that that probably won't happen anytime soon.

      We've been relegated to some weird grey area.. I was told we were going to reopen today, but on a 'voluntary basis'. This makes no sense to me. I thought if we were 'essential' we would all have to show up, and if we weren't, we would all be expected to stay home. Needless to say, I'm holed up at home.

  23. Good deal on an 800XL with best power supply, two Tac-2s: http://tinyurl.com/sz59nle

      That is a pretty good deal, I got mine boxed for about that much without the cool extras. 

  24. Good friend of mine bought a Porsche 928 S4 yesterday and was kind enough to let me drive it today when he brought it over to show off. Damn, I love older German cars.

      Did it come with service records and did he have a ppi done by a 928 specialist?  If not, some things needs to be checked asap.  Engine is interference...regular timing belt, water pump and tensioner replacement is critical.  All rubber fuel lines need to be replaced...it WILL eventually catch fire if they are original.  Original high pressure power steering hose is also a fire hazard.  If automatic, thrust bearing end play needs to be checked and tension off the torque tube needs to be released by loosening a clamp.  It's an engineering design flaw that allows the torque tube to creep forward and put pressure on the flex plate and thrust bearing.  If driven long enough, internal engine boring starts and you won't know the damage is happening until the engine is completely destroyed.  That area is easy to access and check during oil changes and improved aftermarket clamps exist.

      Being a member of Rennlist forms is a must for 928 owners.

      The Porsche 928 is one car I would like to own. Truth be told, I would mind riding along with you.

    3. adam242

      @Turbo-Torch It's a Canadian-market car he bought from the second owner, who is best friends with the original owner. Always dealer maintained. My friend is a long-time Porsche enthusiast and owner who knows what he's doing. It's a sweet ride, despite being an automatic ?
