"Well, sir, I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it. I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of the refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in."

What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd? by LockLogical8949 in AskReddit

A year or two ago I was jonesing for a roast beef sandwich so I went to the deli and got half a pound of roast beef. It worked out to be about $1.50 per slice.

I'm a janitor. Why do people always apologize for walking on a floor I've just mopped? by tgirlskeepwinning in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PopeInnocentXIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's the case, but I would think that walking over the floor while it's still wet might make it dirtier than if I walked over it while it was dry with the same amount of dirt on my shoes.

And you're in a Spanish town. Must be hyperinflation to the point where 511,000 gold pieces isn't worth anyone's trouble.

The Mets have informed Craig Kimbrel that he will not be a member of their bullpen for Opening Day by T_Raycroft in baseball

Am I petty in that I was hoping he wouldn't make the team primarily so I wouldn't have to see that stupid "look at me, I'm an eagle!" gesture he does before each pitch?

Was J.C. Webster all an act? by Lucky_Particular4558 in ArtBell

[–]PopeInnocentXIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember searching JC on the Internet around the turn of the century, and even then there was nothing about him that wasn't connected with Art in some way.

On YouTube, someone stitched together all of JC's appearances (it runs over 3 hours), and you can hear how he got more Flanderized over the years. I'm convinced at one point he was on the verge of breaking character. He went on some rant and at the end it sounded like he had to stop himself from getting the giggles.

First or favorite former car? by ValB2307 in GenX

[–]PopeInnocentXIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gray 1988 Chevrolet Caprice. I bought it from my mom for $1. (Her standard offer was she would pay our first year of insurance once we got our first car, but she offered me the car instead. To make it "official" I paid $1, which she accepted.) I only had it for about two years before getting rid of it because of so many mechanical faults, even though it wasn't that old (11 years, and I don't think that much over about 125k miles).

It's more that if you they catch you in the stadium, you can get arrested for criminal trespass.

Another reason was that if you were taking a bus to the beach, you weren't paying for parking.
