I love the word “goober” so much, it’s one of my all time favs

I have extended family on a dairy farm in Minnesota and they have a farmhand that goes by Goober and I could not stop laughing our entire family reunion.

I will never buy a “luxury” car

My ideal of a luxury car is something made in the last five years because every car I've driven up until recently was made in the previous decade and lacking a ton of modern conveniences that leave me spoiled now.

we just have emissions ever two years and can renew registration for two years, which is nice. somewhat annoyingly, they're not actually linked, so my emissions expires the end of march, but my registration is good through may or something since you have to have a valid emissions to renew registration

My cow orker described having to wait in line at the DMV to scan a QR code which then let him set an appointment to return and then do whatever to renew his license. :mad:

I have probably been sober for 2 total nights in the past year since lockdown initiated and I don't regret a single drat night of it.

e: also I have a family history of alcoholism and this was a nice front for a reason why I drink.

I've had to cut back a shitload of drinking in the past year because I just can't handle it anymore, a drinking night is two days of feeling like anxious poo poo for me now.

Drinking on Superbowl Sunday meant I was useless for two work days, with the point my career is at I can't really afford to do that anymore.

I'm on the other side and amped up my drinking to about 1 bottle of bourbon every two nights. I did start to slow that down a bit and traded my third old fashioned cocktail for a couple of beers and it finally added some necessary weight to my normally skinny frame.
Now I just need to start working out and it's over for you hoes.

jesus that is a drat lot of liquor

how does that not make you fat? i thought liquor had hell of calories

I am rather (or was) underweight at the start of 2020 and have put on ~25lbs from since then. I don't wake up hungover or maladjusted from poor sleep. I suspect my Irish heritage is to thank for that.

I have an abnormally high metabolism even still in my late 30s so weed edibles don't work unless they are heroically potent and likely to put someone else into a coma.

I can't typically drink coffee without chasing it with water because I get major dehydrated. Doesn't happen with energy drinks but I try to refrain from them lately.

I think we put $2,000 for our down payment in 2013 when we bought our house because the senior occupying it wanted to sell more than we wanted to buy and we had wasted ~6mo looking at other houses before this one.
A few corrections were required after inspection but it's been a house with good bones so far. Just spent a bunch of money to get the basement sealed so if we ever go to sell it's got a huge bonus for us.

Home ownership is a scam, and if you disagree it only means that you're still on the good side of the grift.

I will only disagree if you can do your own home repairs. If you are constantly at the whim of a contractor, it's a gamble that typically ends with you losing.

She's frosting a cake with a paper knife
All what we got here's American made
It's a little bit cheesy, but it's nicely displayed
Well, we don't get excited when it crumbles 'n breaks
We just get on the phone and call up some Flakes
They rush on over and wreck it some more
And we are so dumb, they're linin' up at our door
Well, my toilet went crazy yesterday afternoon
The plumber he says, "never flush a tampoon"
This great information cost me half a week's pay
And the toilet blew up later on the next day, ay, ay ♫

BLACKENED American Whiskey's Batch Playlists

Each batch of whiskey has it’s own Metallica playlist, selected
and arranged by the band members themselves.
--------

Each batch of BLACKENED has a unique playlist that was used
to sonically-enhance the whiskey during finishing. As the
well-aged whiskey rests in the finishing barrels, the music is
played to the barrel causing the whiskey inside to move and
interact with the wood. The movement of the whiskey and the
amount of interaction depends on the song being played,
so the variation of the music creates a slight nuance from
one batch to the next. Throughout this process, Dave
tests the whiskey to determine the optimal color
and flavor profile for each batch.

I still contest that Blockbuster could have survived if they created BlueBox as a competitor since they got rid of late fees, the stores largely just became those anyways.

We got suckered into a timeshare presentation for $100 each free credit at the Vegas casino; they gave us free water and a small buffet while people rang bells and hooted about selling properties or whatever. We said no to, iirc four different people before they finally let us sit on the bus back for an hour before it actually left.
