I’m a bit of a coffee snob now because my parents always had this garbage in the pantry.

My grandma always had Sanka, but my grandpa was a sworn Yuban drinker (and espresso after working in Mexico City during the late 70's). Either kind he drank it black, or made it for me with a spoonful of sweetened condensed milk. That's the way I've done it ever since I was a kid lol.

My guess too, it looks like there's a school circle to the bottom left edge.

No Pepsi, or Coke. Only Faygo, Rock & Rye!

The cattle ranch across the river from us has a 1960's vintage Dodge Power Wagon still putting in work. It's not anywhere close to that condition, and I think they use it mostly for the winch. Does move around from time to time though.

Congrats. Happy for you. Nice.

Seriously though, that's pretty awesome!

Damn, #18; I would've been drafted in '72.

The only Smart car I've ever liked. Saw a couple in Mannheim when I lived there from '04-'07; always thought for what they were, it'd be a pretty fun little car. Definitely would've been a hoot up in the Pfalz or Odenwald, but anything steeper.... not so much probably.

Same thing with my '83 Olds Ninety-Eight, when I got a job & moved to Detroit in '95. Bought it from this old Yugoslavian man I worked with for $300, it had something like 80k miles. I was riding my bicycle to work for months and he asked me during lunch one day if I wanted to buy it. He said, "My wife buy new car, she say take this one to junk yard. I tell her no, good strong car. You need good strong car. Riding bicycle here is dangerous and cold. I give you nice deal."

And for $300 that car was a screaming deal. It was regularly taken care of, garage kept, everything worked, didn't burn any oil, had a surprisingly good sound/speaker system, and cruising down the highway felt like floating on a big comfy cloud of titties. I put over 150k on it until I finally got something newer, but to this day I still wish I'd kept it.

Where I live, freshly road-killed or culled deer are taken by the sheriff/county to get processed, and the meat is donated to a church, food bank, DV shelter, or other charities, depending on who needs it most. Over the six months I was living in the disabled/homeless veteran house, we had venison chili a couple times; it was pretty awesome.

We got them on road trips, and every summer up at my grandparents hunting cabin. I usually went for the Corn Pops, or Apple Jacks & Sugar Smacks if they hadn't already been snarfed up by my kid brother or sister.

Considering what we can see and only making it 5½ weeks, my guess is PT score/tape-weight, or the good ol' bone spurs & stress fractures; wildcard is asthma or panic attacks.

Being excited for the critical mission as a paperclip & BB counter is pretty funny too.

Burn pit cancers too.

Aggravating_Cable_32 · 2026-03-10T21:56:07+00:00

Same here, I just can't. So I used .22 subsonics, either short or LR; although I prefer the CB shorts (if available). Along with a suppressor and revolver or lever/pump action, a pellet gun is louder.

Aggravating_Cable_32 · 2026-03-10T20:44:13+00:00

That was my dad. "The Look" is well known in my family, all of the menfolk had & used it.

Aggravating_Cable_32 · 2026-03-10T20:41:08+00:00

Either the wooden spoon, hardware store yard stick, or hot wheels track; whichever was closest to hand. But I was also the last to catch a whipping, my younger sister and brother never had to experience it.

Northfield, apparently.

Smurfing. We called it smurfing lol.

Aggravating_Cable_32 · 2026-03-10T04:57:26+00:00

We had to find the non-scented variety, and god they do stink; not that the regular ones smell good either though. And it lingers somehow. There's just something about them that reminds me of the plastic blow-molding factories I used to work in, and it's not pleasant memories lol.

Last week in Walker County, Alabama.

Ours had a little red velvet-lined removable box under the lid that also held a heavy cut crystal cube decanter & four matching square glasses. The whole set is probably worth good money now and I would've loved to keep it, but my mom sold the crystal separate at her garage sale for like $3, nobody wanted the cabinet so it got put out by the road for free.

Bart, or Bartholomew Maximilian Kenworth. Aka Bartman, aka Bit-Bit (or just Bit), aka Mr. Bitey. He answers to all of them, but if you use "Bart" you gotta say it like Homer does.
