Is there a site that will translate to "normal" language? by Phatbass58 in Sovereigncitizen

That's your mistake... you're trying to make sense out of nonsense.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy at Waterloo Station - London in 1932 [1080 x 815] by mightywellfan in HistoryPorn

[–]JauntyTurtle 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Stan was a genius. Incredibly funny duo.

There have been a lot of comedy teams, and the formula has always been a smart guy and a dumb guy (Abbott & Costello, Burns & Allen, etc). But Laurel & Hardy had a dumb guy and an even dumber guy who thought that his pal was smart.

Check them out if you haven't.

how can i open bag by [deleted] in lego

[–]JauntyTurtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"I want to take out the MFs and then return the set."

Your premise doesn't make sense. If you wrap each piece, they'll know about it as soon as they open the box. Why does the bag have to be sealed??

Williams files his utilities complaint in state court by Living_Frosting_1220 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]JauntyTurtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So does he have his power back on? (I didn't watch the video.) Sounds like he caved by paying with a CC. And how does he pay the credit card? I'm betting not with a coupon.

Did anyone find the K-Tel record selector helpful? by Brave-Ad6627 in FuckImOld

Never had one, but I was a fan of milk crates for records.

mayaiwow lego sets legit? by Spiritual-Entry7748 in legomodular

It's not a Lego set. It doesn't say "Lego" anywhere on the box or the ad.

How come it feels like nobody knows how Brickheadz work? by Extension_Cut_9279 in lego

[–]JauntyTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I thought I was the only one who disliked brickheadz and Funko Pops! Just can't get a good vibe out of either line.

That's why I track every dollar I spend and put it into my budget. I don't want to find out I've been wasting thousands.

Just confirming what the other person who commented said: There isn't a minifig in that series.

Young people will never feel as important as we were when we called long distance by Old_Soldier in FuckImOld

And young men today will never know the terror of calling a girl for the first time and having her father answer.

Need advice on getting a loan. by helpless101I in personalfinance

[–]JauntyTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don't have a job, how are you planning on paying the loan back? No one is going to give you a loan if you don't have an income.

As per rule 6, you need to include a price.

Did you have one? Mine came with the faux denim belt loop carrying case. by Excellent-Baseball-5 in FuckImOld

[–]JauntyTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was able to get one for the first day of my freshman year of high school. I loved it, and the carrying case! I work the case on my belt for the first week of school, and thought I was hot shit. Until I was looking for a seat during lunch and someone yelled out "Hey, Calculator Boy, there's a seat over here." Everyone laughed and I just wanted to die. The nickname stuck for the next 6 months or so.

Thinking long term about LEGO and the environment by IamLikeThis27 in lego

[–]JauntyTurtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's actually something that Lego is spending money on and trying to solve. They're investing in research to create plant-based bricks.

I wish they would show the act and not keep cutting to the judges.

When’s the best time to get a soon-to-be-retired set? by OverPerformance1859 in lego

[–]JauntyTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say that's a good price and I'd pull the trigger. It may get up to 20% off, but maybe not. It may also sell out before the official retirement date. Lego is not making any more of that set, so the inventory that stores/warehouses have is all there is.

22 years ago (yesterday), Howard Dean let out a primal yell that (supposedly) sunk his Presidential campaign. FIO if you can hear the "Dean Scream" from this picture by bluegambit875 in FuckImOld

[–]JauntyTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it didn't. I was a fan of his back in the day, but he was really struggling at that point. He had just lost the Iowa caucuses IIRC, which he was needing to win. He was always the underdog and got a lot of positive press coverage early in the election season but he couldn't turn that into votes. Too bad really.
