You can always put your cell phone on your home owners or renters insurance.

That State Farm turd never mentioned that when I signed up for my home owners

This is random ramblings. You should post that in "known facts"

Not to me it wasn't, nosireebobbysack. It was a random question. I know that because i can still see the question mark I put at the end of the sentence. Can you see it, too?

anyone have surround sound?

No, why?

I was reading about a way to get commentary out of sporting events is to have surround sound and change up the settings and shit.

Sounds like a pretty technical article you read.

The main suggestion was disabling center channel audio on 5.1 system

Like muting one of the channels? Not sure I see that working but admittedly I'm no George Martin sound engineer.

So like 20 years ago this week Hale-Bopp was at its closest point to earth. Remember how cool that was?

I remember people telling me how cool it was. I was working too much to look up.

Went to the EffBeeEye offices today, I better watch out how I post now

That's a shame, really was a hell of a thing. Didn't work out too well for the Heaven's Gate cult though.

Whoa--now •that• I remember.
I actually don't recall why I didn't see H-B. Could've been work, but cloud cover couldve been just as likely. I've always tried to make time to see sky events, and back then it was easy to find dark skies just north of EL. The biggest deterrent has always been uncooperative weather patterns.

BIL had bought our kids a 5 or 6" diameter telescope (not super great, maybe $300) the prior Christmas. I set it up on the driveway but it was kinda useless. Comet was moving too fast to keep up with. Binoculars worked best. Probably would have been much better without local light pollution.

Got invited to a $0.50/$1 NLH cash game at the apartment of a friend's friend. Hope this becomes a regular thing

Walk in with a .44 on your hip. Announce you don't want to see any funny business.

Offer all the other players all you can eat ganja gummie bears.



Profit.

This might sound weird but my car just got hit by a dog. Big fucker too. Got away from the woman that was walking him in our sub and ran into the street as I was passing by. Hit the left rear quarter, hard...very loud thud.

Stopped the car and got out thinking it must be really fucked up or dead. Surprisingly it had already got up and was back on the sidewalk with the owner like nothing happened. I apologized. She was cool. Said it was her fault for letting him get away. Dog looked fine and was very friendly. Not sure what breed but looked like some type of husky.

Got home to find a little hair on the rear wheel and around the opening.

Daughter flew back to Miami for rehearsals this morning. Will be gone 10 months this time. All of our family will miss her but it will be toughest for Sasha, not knowing she will be back

In 25 years or so, you're going to look back on this time and wonder if you have any kids you've never met. Happens to a lot of us.

25 years? I started thinking about it when I got married. Fortunately never got any surprises from the past. Child support is murder

Don't scare me like that

Funny story, kind of related.. long story short, my buddy (UM fan) went to the 2015 Blake O'neal game in AA with me. Super pissed off after the game. Couple months later, a girl he banged one time sends him a text and says he needs to take a DNA test. Finds out he got her pregnant the one time they fucked..kid was born at halftime of the game, October 17, 2015. Unreal. UM losing turned out to be small potatoes. Needless to say i've been pretty careful since then minus a few times of course

An alternative to cremation?

Search and rescue rangers who arrived later did find the victim’s body in the pool, along with his wallet, and flip flops. But, a lightning storm stopped the recovery efforts. The next day, workers could not find any remains. Veress says the water was churning, and acidic.

He remarked, “In a very short order, there was a significant amount of dissolving”

There would be a lot more "disappearing" if the mafia did their thing near Yellowstone.
