  1. People using words incorrectly, often pronouncing them wrong, apparently trying to look "smart". I just heard a news interviewer say "denneymois" meaning "denouement". It didn't make him seem smart. EDIT: Sure, it's a small thing. But in this case it goes back to doing the job you're paid for. If you get PAID to use English in front of millions, get the words right.
  2. I had Taco Bell, first time in over a year here. My local has been drive-through only, the lobby having been closed since the panic over the flulike-Chinese-illness-that-cannot-be-named. I don't do drive-through, preferring to walk in if I get fast food...which is VERY infrequently anyway. After stopping by the hardware store for a 4-40 tap, a small countersink, and some suet cakes for the birds, I crossed the street on the off chance the doors at Taco Bell would be open once again. Halleluiah!! The rain clouds parted and a sunbeam lit my way. I got a bag full and went home to stuff myself.
  3. Sledgehammer work will build your deltoids, biceps, and pecs.
  4. "Director of Operations" is also known as "the big cheese".
  5. Cathedra bees what they shoves up you when you can't go...or it bees a big church.
  6. "Being from hell" aptly describes my last ex.
  7. Meat cleavers always remind me of Beaver Cleaver.
  8. Unfortunately, rather a high percentage of cosmetic surgeons seem to be the medical equivalent of Bad Chad, as far as their judgement of what "looks good" goes. Give this bozo a scalpel and pay him the big bucks.
  9. Equipment and tools for real-thing fab and restoration work are the largest investment I've made over the last 5 decades.
  10. "Fortune favors the bold", so the saying goes.
  11. Some years back, I made a resolution to stop making resolutions. It's been remarkably easy to keep.
  12. Behavior modification therapies are parodied in the film A Clockwork Orange.
  13. Experience is only valuable if you stop doing the things you learn have negative outcomes.
  14. List of people who got it...like me?
  15. Damm. Damm damm damm. At least I guess he was living with intensity at the time. Always something to be said for that.
  16. Decision making is difficult for those who need someone to tell them what to do.
  17. I'd second the Airfix 1/24 kits. There's tons of info on the web, like https://imodeler.com/2019/06/airfix-1-24-north-american-p-51d/ Trumpeter also has a 1/24 Mustang...(and at least two in 1/32) The Trumpeter kit is not without issues though... http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Fea1/601-700/Fea666a-P-51-Spitaels/00.shtm
  18. Mouth organs come in many different forms, making some interesting musical possibilities.
  19. When even the cat can't quite believe human stupidity...
  20. Hey kids !!! Buy several !!! Race with your friends !!! Scare the cat !!! Get the dog to fetch 'em !!! Hours of ACTION FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!
  21. Granted, it's ridiculously small in the overall scheme of things, but it's like a tiny thorn stuck in my sock on a hike, one that is constantly annoying on an almost subliminal level. Win10 stuffed in a useless bloatware "news and interests" widget during an update a while back, which I ignore for the most part (and just removed). The annoying part is the fact that the supposedly local forecast displayed in the taskbar is entirely devoid of any relationship to reality, for the past few days advising of "sleet coming", or now "sleet off and on". The abject ignorance of weather phenomena and the freezing point of water on the part of whatever techie dwerp set this crapp up is amazing. You just don't get sleet when the air temperature is 65 F. SLEET !!!
  22. Oh, the huge manatees !!!
