Today I saw a guy on a motorcycle with a sidecar and an extremely elaborate harness system that allowed his German Shepard to sit in it.

The dog even had a special helmet on. It was pretty great

My uncle's classic Harley had a sidecar, but I rarely see them, at least in the PNW. Was fun riding in that as a kid with him.

Does anyone know how much these loving giant tailgate wrap things cost? I swear every time I see one it's some stupid poo poo like this or "ASK A REAL FORKLIFT OPERATOR"-pseudo tough guy pablum, and I always wonder how many hundreds of dollars they've spent to advertise to everyone how much you do not want to associate with them.

I feel the same way about huge, full-rear-window things that say, "GEORGE COSTANZA 1971-1999 GONE TOO SOON OUR PRECIOUS ANGEL WE AWAIT OUR TIME IN HEAVEN WITH YOU" and that sort of, uh, whatever that is.

I can happily say I have no idea, but I'd guess yeah, a couple hundred?

the deceased decal thing though, that's interesting. having lived among these people, if you questioned why they had it, they would not be able to comprehend why there was anything weird about it. like, the fundamental question doesn't exist; it's just what's done for them. you'd be the rear end in a top hat for questioning it. promise.

Around here, it seems that all the "in loving memory of" stickers on the backs of trucks, and beat rear end Pontiac Gran Ams and poo poo are for people named "Cody".
Seriously, don't name your kids Cody. The life expectancy of someone named Cody seems to be about 22 or so.

I'm dumb enough to choose to work for a railroad. I can't be that bright.

In all seriousness, I know Texas is a wasteland of stupidity. I just got excited about going home because I associate Texas with the people I usually hang out and work with, who are good people. I'm definitely not staying here forever because I can't handle this poo poo for 20+ years.

EDIT: another fine slice of Americana is that I took that photo while my wife was driving 2½ hours up to the Choctaw nation to get her vaccine because our county government is so far behind that she might get her first dose in May if she waited. We're both extremely grateful to the Choctaw for opening up their arms to anyone who wanted to go up to them and for having their poo poo together so well that she was in and out in half an hour.

No, it's not actually, there are major entries from around the globe. It's held in Madison because the University of Wisconsin has one of if not THE premier dairy science departments on Earth.

I been there, poo poo rocks. Also a lot of people don't get how much wisconsin is into cheese.
You'll be at a blue collar working man's bar after work and over hear like "ey, any you guys want some aged cheddar?"And u think it's a drug deal but no. Dude was just up north visiting his folks and grabbed some premium home made aged cheddar and is selling it at the bar. I'll give another example. Gas stations have about as much cheese selection as grocery stores anywhere else. And actual grocery stores have sometimes multiple full length cheese isles and a separate gourmet cheese section usually near the delly.

Growing up there I thought it was normal until I moved out of state and realized how cheese starved the real world is.

Big Beef City

That's no exaggeration.

Think of your normal 'large' grocery store.
Mine has 1.5 full aisles of just cheese.
Then, as mentioned, as an aside to the deli, about a 1/2 aisle or more wrap around island of 'the good stuff'. Artisan local and imported high end stuff.

At my closest rural gas station I can get cheeses and fresh cheese curds made daily from local cheese factories and dairies set right in the middle of the store next to the racks of beef jerky and stuff.

Which is why when people say 'Americans don't have poo poo for cheese' I do a little chest clutching (well that and the heart attacks)


... There's a reason green bay packer fans wear giant wedges of cheese on their heads to games and are known as 'cheeseheads'

I took my :canada: wife to a Meijer as she'd never seen an American grocery store. "Why is half the store frozen foods, and why are two of those aisles only for pizza?", she asked.

"We have so much poo poo, just endless piles of it! this means we are really good at making the best poo poo" - yet another proof the American mindset makes making good cheese impossible.
