Follow him on Twitter. You get to learn so much about his life, like the ghosts of TRUCKMAN and Wife name of Barbara who is trapped in the frozen lake and sounds like marbles, and his feud with his neighbor Ted Cobbler, and how son (name Jon) has to wrangle him and help him come down after drinking too many chocolate milks.

This sounds like a description of a Phil Hendrie character.

Aren't the little "red hot" candies really difficult to find down there? I sent some to my buddy in NZ awhile back 'cause he couldn't get them on the bottom of the planet.

If you're a gardener, and live in a fairly infested area, the best groundhog is one that looks exactly like that Capybara on it's back. Especially out on the road. Groundhogs are shitheads that can mow a good garden down in a couple of hours. I use a wood fence, an underground wire fence (to prevent them from digging), an electric fence (bottom wire at ground level hot so you'll short if if you try to dig under, top wire and ground wire at top so you'll short it if you try to go over the top), and as a last resort, a .22 rifle when we need to discuss the "lease agreement" in close detail. Sometimes the fuckers still linebacker their way through all the obstacles to eat my drat green beans. They're bastards every single one, and since they no longer have any natural predators, they breed faster than rabbits.

That's my groundhog story.

"How many times has this happened to you? You have a bass, and you're trying to find an exciting new way to prepare it for the dinner table. You could scale the bass, remove the bass' tail, head and bones, and serve the fish as you would any other fish dinner. But why bother, now that you can use Rovco's amazing new kitchen tool, the Super Bass-o-Matic '76.

I was a little kid in the mid 60s in Dayton, OH, and Island Park offered not only the typical potentially deadly playground equipment, but also an old retired fire truck, and (due to the proximity to Wright-Patterson AFB), a loving F-86. To this day, I've never forgotten playing around in the bubble-less cockpit of that plane. Kids need cool poo poo to gently caress around with.

No, it was named after the type of childbirth known as the Caeserean because it looks like a vegetable birth. I guess. If maybe you're kind of drunk and stuff.

Yeah. Exactly my point. There's nothing about the government being a guarantor that prevents a currency from being speculated infinitely up and down. I mean, countries have chosen in the past to literally hyperinflate their currencies in order to pay off debt. Big-name economists like Krugman have advocated that the US should engage in massive inflationary policy in order to pay down its debts. At the time of its issuance, this was worth about $30 USD and is also a funny picture:

Spend 15 minutes, using 25 cents of raw materials, and make the dough the night before. Let rise all night. Next morning, spend 15 minutes folding the dough 3 times. Place in dutch oven. Cover with lid, and bake in oven for 30 minutes at 450F. Remove lid. Bake additional 15 minutes for thick crust. Done. Looks like this:

I hope that they made holes in the bottoms of the bottles so it flows properly.

The Jack would need to be vented. The Coke (I assume) is under pressure, so venting is not a problem there. I do think, though, that the turbulence created passing through all the valves would cause the Coke to foam excessively. So you'd end up with a Jack and Coke foam.

I worked in a bakery in HS, and we had some sort of an annual street fair on the main street out front. We baked soft pretzels, and sold them in a cart on the street out front. I was working at the ovens inside, and unbeknownst to me, the other guy out front had tacked a sign on the door, saying "Free Breast Exams, please step inside". We almost got fired. He was a weirdo.
