He'd get a 20 minute standing ovation from me if he happens to have a massive coronary onstage.

We're just on the end of a bit of a heatwave, and I found out my neighbors don't have AC because they spent nearly the whole time outside in the shade because their house was too hot inside.

These are the same people that have multiple pitbulls never kept on a leash, rarely mow, often park on their front lawn, and used to sell drugs out of the house, so I'm finding it very difficult to feel very sorry for them.

My grandparents came to Canada in WW2 after nearly being killed by german bombing in Belgium, to be with family that came here during WWI to escape the same thing. We had a lot of family members that went back to serve in the army, and I can fully understand why there were no intentions of playing nice.

Edit: We're polite, but you only get so many sorrys before the hockey sticks come out.

Probably less security risk this way too.

And "Weekend at Bernie's" was a movie about tasteful ways to move a corpse.

Now that you mention it, I've never personally seen them in a room together...

Is Milli Vanilli going to do his famous lip syncing impression?

I mean.. if the white house were to blow up at the right time it would fix a lot of things.

Way back when I was in school a kid tried ramming me on my bike with his, he learned very quickly why that's not a great idea. The rammer will completely lose steering and end up ass over tea kettle the second his front tire touches the other bike. The other bike will be fine unless you also get his front tire, in which case you both will go down.

Only thing the cop could have done is get in front of the other bike and cut it off, hitting the other bike's front tire with his back tire. That would keep him stable and cause the other guy to bite it, which is very dangerous to even try and can really go wrong quick.

probably nobody will care, but I'm sad at the passing of my microwave. It was born in July of 1983, and died march 24th, 2026. I had bought it used in 1992 and it faithfully served me and my family for many years until today, when the keypad decided to partially quit working. Rest in peace Zappy, you will be missed.

I'm looking for a new keypad but unsurprisingly the parts for this ancient thing are no longer in stock so I doubt I'll be able to resurrect it without some sort of miracle. I know it's just an appliance but it still makes me sad to see it go.

I wonder if JB Weld can fix this. I guess only one way to find out.

They're from the phones you see in old movies that you had to crank to talk to an operator, commonly used up until the 1950's. I put my multimeter on one and it's still reading 1.3 volts. The owner told me I can take the whole lot of them if I want them which I'm tempted to do just because I like to collect old junk but I probably drag enough useless crap home as it is.

I tried looking around a little and it sounds really scammy to me. All the contact info and domain registrars is listed "redacted for privacy." Personally the whole thing seems to smell funny to me but I could be wrong. Anyone used or heard of this site before? I just want to make sure my daughter isn't going to get screwed over

In the background of the one pic you can see one of the abandoned schoolhouses in the distance.

I didn't get a closer pic of this one sadly because a)Bees and b) I got distracted by the old Fargo that's directly behind me in this pic.

I've always wondered how many people fell for that.

Well that was unexpected. Rip Matthew
