    Oh I did not see Clerks but I did like Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. The out takes are as funny as the movie.

    Weird. I’ve never really seen/thought about the number 37 being over-represented. I don’t recall anytime that I’ve seen the number and thought that.

    Clerks is several times funnier than Jay/Silent Bob.
    One of my favorite things about Clerks (written in 1994) is it's one of very few older comedic scripts that isn't destroyed by the advent of universal cell phone possession. The plot line is timeless.

    It is called situational awareness and that is basically asking yourself if your perception matches reality, when you become aware of something you see it all the time, while it was there the whole time. :eek2:

    Hah! Nothing- notice I said "sending the wife out to buy beer now"?
    And I buy her flowers 2x per week. Pay it forward, brother.

    No, after the 3 day monsoon we had, I noticed the eavestroughs were backed up (erosion on the ground underneath.) I went up on the roof today and holy eff.... Fricking cottonwoods have crapped all over my gutters. Some places almost 2" deep. I have gutter guards but cottonwoods give ZERO effs about gutter guards. Spent about 2 hours ripping out the gutter guards and muck.

    So my rant is- effing cottonwoods.

    well, believe it or not, I've actually experimented with this.
    Pick any random, non-repetitive double digit number (no 22, 55, 77, etc) and go with that for say 2 weeks. Then do 37 for the same time frame. I suspect you will encounter 37 more often than whatever alternative you pick.

    Being part of a larger number set counts....say for instance my current street address- 9237. This marks the 5th consecutive address I've had that included the consecutive numbers 37.

    Prior 4 addresses: 24237, 37, Unit 37, 37th St.

    I have also lived just off Exit 37 on Highway 37.

    I saw that and decided not to post it so that Germ didn't inadvertently see something from FoxNews and learn something.
    MFer looks like a demented Dr. Seuss character.

    Relatives of people full of rage when their relative was standing in the street discharging a handgun and got shot by the police. And BLM protested at the Pride parade in Minneapolis and the Pride people were upset that their window was being infringed, what does that even mean?

    So evidently there is a serious push to let 16 year olds vote, saw it on NBC national news. Wonder what party is behind that?

    the vast majority of the time I'm reading news and\or posting here is done from the crapper. Saves me time.
