I have my concealed carry license so I take the bottom one. The shorter length makes it easier to conceal.

No, but according to my wife they are family heirlooms. They start with her great-grandmother, her grandmother, her mom, and her's.

Our neighborhood had large community mailboxes and my dad would always make me walk down the street to get the mail. One day there were some older kids outside and they started squirting me with water-guns. I got home and told my dad and he asked me to show him where the kids were. When I did he yelled at them saying, "don't squirt my mail!"

The sad thing is I though he was talking about me, as in male. It wasn't until years later I realized he didn't give a crap about me, he was mad his mail got wet.

It's by far not be the most narcissistic thing my dad did, (that would be beating the shit out of me for not wanting to go to church because it made him look bad). But I think about it often because I want my kids to know they are the most important thing to me, and I never want to say something that would make them think otherwise.

It's really just a small pinch of salt that comes out

I have a BUG-A-SALT that attached a laser sight on. It can take out a fly from a few feet away. And it makes it fun.

I was in the US Air Force and stationed in England. If someone left their ID out we would hide it or freeze it in a block of ice. Your ID also happens to have your social security number on it. One of my coworkers left her ID on the table and when I grabbed it to go hide it, I noticed her social security number was only a couple of numbers off of mine. The first 8 numbers were completely the same.

For those not from the US, our socials are 9 digits long. The first 5 digits of your social security number indicates the part of the country you were born in. The last 4 digits are assigned from 0001-9999.

It turns out we were born in the same hospital 1 day apart, and met halfway across the globe 20 years later.

The one that drives me insane is using the touchscreen on my Surface:

  • Go to a channel's page
  • Click on the video tab
  • Scroll through and find the video you want to watch
  • Click on the video and YouTube slides to the playlist tab instead of starting the video. Every fucking time.

I'm saving this thread to show to my wife later. She was mortified that I let the cable guy into our house with dirty dishes in the sink. And I'm not talking about an overflowing sink. I'm talking about 2-3 plates and maybe a couple of forks.

I started using Crunchbang because it was so lightweight and ran great on Virtual Box on Windows 7. I stopped using it, when they stopped developing it. I wasn't aware of ++. I will be installing it this evening.

There is a version of Macbeth from 1979 with Ian McKellen and Judy Dench. It's not really a movie but a recording from the Royal Shakespeare Company. It uses minimal sets and just the actors standing in a circle. My wife is a huge Shakespeare fan, but I had no real interest in watching it outside of making her happy. But it was amazing. The acting was absolutely incredible. I've never seen anything else like it.
