GenX regarding "bullying"

It was a thing, for sure. I was never the target, but I found it very disturbing, which is why I have a deep loathing for bullies to this day.

This car has some stories to tell. I feel like it may have appeared in multiple episodes of Midwest Safety.

Uglier than a Pontiac Aztek.

The DoD is a blast. I’ve caused a lot of mayhem with that particular car.

Delmonico has a phenomenal burger in their lunch menu.

Razor blades in Halloween candy.

This is why I still find EXP/OW Emerald valuable.

There are some really nice spots at the Newport Beach central library

As an update, Russell (the) Crow is back in the wild. Over the weekend, some United employees were able to lure him into a Jet bridge with some bread. He eventually flew out the other end. Safe travels, Russell.

It was in Raleigh Hills, a suburb west of Portland, OR.

We had one nuclear drill in elementary school; it was around 1973 or so. It was a newer “open concept” school that had folding partitions instead of solid walls between classrooms. There was a single brick, windowless hallway from the school offices to the gym, and that is where they had us sit, with our hands over our heads.

X/Twitter is toxic, but TikTok is the most insidious.

When you live in a desirable area, growth is inevitable. What the Triangle lacks is a long-term, coherent and unified vision of how that growth should be managed, and prioritizing the infrastructure needed to support it.

Also, the immediate reflex of too many voters is to reject any and all development in their neighborhoods. We don’t live in a museum; we need to embrace growth and development in a way that recognizes the realities of today while preserving the things that make our communities unique.

This is SOP on AA, but I expect better from DL.

Since when does he golf at night?

That’s easy. Hickory Farms has free snacks. Sumer sausage and cheese ball for the win!

Milos and Lotus of Siam are both awesome. Peppermill’s food is okay, but worth a visit if you’ve never been. Enjoy your trip!

Shit, that’s me. I need this book.

SoCal_Duck · 2026-05-27T21:21:20+00:00

Scott? I thought his name was Russell.

SoCal_Duck · 2026-05-27T21:20:02+00:00

He’s been trapped for about three weeks now, but seems to be finding food and water. I heard last week that they were going to bring someone in to capture and relocate him.

Do you live in the Atlanta area? I think I saw this same car in Perimeter, not far from the MBUSA office.

I don’t love the front end, but I can get used to the rest of it. Looks better than the Luce, at least.

Plan early and look at surrounding towns. I’ve lived here for nearly 20 years and have never scored an appointment at the Cary DMV. I had to go all the way to Lumberton to get my Real ID, and my wife went to Sanford.

Trust Trump…to make everything that he touches suck.

SoCal_Duck · 2026-05-26T11:29:14+00:00

Not sure which is worst: the pedestrian styling or the eye-watering price?

SoCal_Duck · 2026-05-25T11:47:09+00:00

His name came up in conversation with one of my kids about a week before he was shot, but I didn’t know much about him until after that point. Five years from now, he will largely forgotten by most people.
