    next thing you know you'll be drinking PBR.

    as to the pour-over; you know you can just add half a pot of water into the machine; right?

    My wife had to fly out tonight. I told her when she gets back she has to stay in the basement for 2 weeks; but it wasn't a total loss as the basement needed cleaning anyway. I was joking but she didn't see the humor.

    Then on my way home tonight I stop in at my favorite BBQ joint to get take out for myself. Waiting for the counter girl to put it all together when I hear a sneeze behind me and this giant Polack kid behind me is wiping snot off his mug and then picks his nose. This kid was like 6-4 250 and could not have been more than 13 years old. Then he asks the counter girl for BBQ sauce which she hands to him and I watch as their hands touch. Chick goes back to packing my food without washing her hands and I flipped out. "Are you kidding me? Didn't you see Shrek picking his nose?!?! I didn't order my pork dinner with a side of Swine Flu. I need you to wash your hands and get me a new order."

    I actually felt kind of bad because I'm a regular and this girl is always really nice but WTH else was I supposed to do? Just shut up and eat my snot-wrapped food?

    I would do the same, had a pizza all employee meeting today. Could not do it, 1 I decided I am too old to eat pizza, it does not taste that good and it raises hell with my digestive system but I can not eat food that many hands have hovered over.

    actually we are scheduled to go to Vegas in March and I am not happy about it. Already bought tickets to a couple of shows that if we cancel have no chance of getting our money back.

    If the plane is partially full then that is a perfect setting to use the mask. Pick a middle seat, put on the mask, then cough a few times and you will have the entire row to yourself.

    Never an empty seat flying MSP to Detroit and Atlanta. I never sit in a middle or isle seat. 2 D is where I usually sit.

    Not the original order. I watched her wash her hands (they have sink right there and make a big deal out of customers seeing them being clean) and wrap me up a new batch.

    Yeah, but then I have to clean it because wife doesn't do dishes. It is easier to just to pour over, and stick the little thing in the dishwasher when I am done. Insert your naughty jokes here.

    On the morning news the weatherman was dishing out some facts about our winter here in Oklahoma. We've only had 2 days since September that the high for the day was below freezing. So I'm guessing the mosquitoes will be as big as a Fiat this summer..

    After she got over the initial shock at me popping off she did.
    Shrek did not. I think he might've been a bit Special. Or maybe just FOB. Hard to tell the difference these days.

    ticks are gonna be AWFUL as well. Have my annual QDMA group Spring wildgame banquet at the end of March on my buddy's WI deer property and I am already expecting we get covered up in ticks.

    I have found the ticks leave me alone if I soak my outwear in Sawyer's and my innards in whiskey, High Life and seasoned deer/elk meat. Not sure which part of that ritual is most effective but as I don't want Lyme Disease I am not gonna mess with what's worked so far.

    Good times!

    I moved all my 401k into bonds last week. I told my wife to do the same.
    Did she listen??? noooooooooooo

    Years from now, when I mess something up and she's about to say "I told you so"; I am going to look at her and say "remember The Crash of 2020? Yeah, shut it."
