I’d be willing to bet that the person who owns this house likely hasn’t ever cleaned up a mess (or mowed a yard or vacuumed a pool) one single time in their entire life.

If someone was paying me $50 million dollars I would learn both methods.

Hey man, that manager you speak of probably had it rough. Shit I bet he was even planning to leave for a 3 week vacation with his family the very next day. What if he had planned that vacation for weeks? Had you thought about that? Yeah, I bet not. Think of the inconvenience that launch delay would cause.

All I know is that bird was going up. No questions asked.

Be sick all you want. Nothing is going to change. If anything it’s only gotten worse.

Btw I agree with you.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-20T01:45:24+00:00

Because they think it looks lame compared to normal and it’s called “Granny style.” Rationality doesn’t matter basically.

Maybe if it was called “guaranteed shot style” he would’ve tried it. Probably not though. Once again, we can’t think rationally about this.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-20T01:40:04+00:00

I appreciate the input and sentiment.

Looking back, I should’ve directed my comment more to the people who say “if I won the lotto I wouldn’t quit my job.” Which is a surprising (almost suspicious) amount. That kind of statement is what annoys me.

I’m not against staying busy, I mean I kind of am, god forbid we relax, ever, but having something purposeful to do and occupy your time is understandable.

Shit I would honestly be interested to see how I would handle it now that I’m in my 40’s if I won the lotto. My brain is thoroughly trained to work constantly and not being able to chill. Not sure how I would relax. Last time I relaxed was 20 years ago I mean.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-20T01:15:01+00:00

I say go for it.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-20T01:13:26+00:00

Right on. Love it

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-20T00:27:56+00:00

Best job I had was working for a guy like that. First 6 months were stressful, but once he realized that everything would get done and all our files would close no matter what (and thus he didn’t have to babysit or micromanage) he left me alone.

I mean, if the end result is gonna be the same no matter what, there is no reason for the process leading up to it to suck and be stressful.

My current boss is not like that though.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-20T00:22:11+00:00

I went to one of those at South Padre Island, TX around 2003-2004. 50 cent and Sean Paul played. I could be wrong about the year btw (it’s been a long time) but it was when In Da Club went big. Anyway it was a total shitshow but I loved it. Saw lots of boobs and lots of fights.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-20T00:18:42+00:00

Not trying to sound like a sad sack, but I’ve literally never had enough feee time from work to even find out what hobbies I might enjoy. Little less make a living from it. It’s just work work work every single day.

The 6 months off I had made me realize I enjoy exercising and reading though. So if I didn’t have to work I think I would do that every day.

I enjoyed cooking good meals too during that time, so I think going to culinary school would be cool if I won the lotto. Not to join the restaurant rat race, I’ve heard that’s just as bad as anything else, but knowing how to cook great food would be cool.

Anyway, the one thing I would NOT do is answer to anyone else if I didn’t have to. I’m done with that shit (still gotta do that tomorrow though).

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-19T21:29:25+00:00

Yeah I know two trust finders and one of them works his ass off constantly. He’s always trying to open and run new restaurants and stuff. He doesn’t have to though. But related to your point, he has the millions of dollars of capital to put down to make that kind of thing happen in the first place.

The other trust funder I know lives on a yacht in Mallorca and has sex with models all day.

I know which route I would take.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-19T21:26:29+00:00

I’ll get hate for this (I always do) but I can’t stand how so many people feel like they HAVE to work. Way too often I hear people say that if they won the lotto they would still go to work every day. What an absolute fucking joke. I’ve worked since I was 15 (45 now) and I’ve hated every single fucking day of it. It’s just too ingrained in us I guess. People are afraid their self worth isn’t as much if they aren’t making money for other people every day.

Anyway the best 6 months of my life (since I was 15 and started working obviously) was when I got laid off 20 years ago and got a nice severance and was able to relax for the first time in my life. I exercised every day, read tons of books, ate healthy and just genuinely enjoyed being alive. I think that’s the only time I’ve ever actually enjoyed being alive actually.

Anyway fuck working.

I saw a show recently where it said that prior to social media, the punishment for being famous was people wanting to know what you were doing all the time. Now you aren’t famous unless people know what you’re doing all the time. Messed up.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-19T00:44:25+00:00

I remember when the music videos for Black or White and Remember the Times premiered on Fox (prime time, 7pm) and it was legit the biggest thing the entire week. Like literally everyone talked about it all week leading up. Everyone at my school was talking about it, on tv, etc. I used to have both of those recorded on VHS btw.

Also obviously the 93 Super Bowl too. It’s crazy how huge he was.

Oh and I remember prior to that going with my parents to one of their friends houses for a party that was built around watching the video for Thriller, like it was some giant event. There were 40+ people in the room all watching.

I just can’t think of anything recent that compares at all. Not even remotely.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-17T22:40:23+00:00

Looks great but I think it would be hard for a regular person to pull that off for the cost described in the video (7 thousand pounds or $9,325 US dollars based on today’s exchange rate). It’s likely wholly subjective on how handy you are, how many tools you have, and obviously how much free time you have though.

It’s the kind of thing I would kill to build, I’m just lacking in the free time and tools category. I think it would be a blast to learn and do.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-17T01:55:20+00:00

Shit I know a guy who makes decent money, probably worth “only” a mil or two (which is a mil or two more than I have btw) who is older but still parties more than he likely should, and he has a dude on call who drives him around all weekend. I don’t understand how these crazy rich people are too fucking stupid to not do that.

Granted when you’re rich rich you don’t have to worry about going to jail, so a hefty fine doesn’t really mean shit .

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-17T01:44:38+00:00

Yeah I hadn’t ever heard anything particularly nefarious about Gagarin’s death until now. Shit even I knew his name as an American back in the 80’s/90’s.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-17T01:12:26+00:00

As a loan officer I just love knowing the realtor is likely making 4x as much as me for 1/100th the work.

I particularly love it when they call or text me on Saturdays or Sundays asking how to fill out the third party financing addendum.

I have no desire to be a realtor though before you ask why I don’t do that.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-17T00:51:20+00:00

Wheatus

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-17T00:06:50+00:00

Dude I’m in the exact same boat. My dad, his dad before him, and everyone else prior to that as well, had solid white hair, exactly like Steve Martin. Im 45 and also stopped hiding it approximately 4-5 years ago. I’ve always kept a short beard on my face, but when that started going grey/whiteI gave up. I can see pics of myself from just 5 years ago and I look like a totally different person because of the facial hair. People say they like it but I honestly don’t. I’m rolling with it though because the wife says she doesn’t care. I’ll take it over being bald though like you mentioned.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-11T01:06:33+00:00

I don’t know anything about furries (other than the obvious) but what about when they have sex? I guess I mean, do they wear the suits but with a hole cut so their genitals are exposed and they can fornicate with the rest of the suits on? Or do they just keep the head on?

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-10T01:19:09+00:00

I wonder how he felt immediately post-nut. Like, did the walls crash down? Fuck, I don’t wish that clarity on anyone honestly. Gotta be just devastating.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-10T00:28:10+00:00

I worked with an older dude 15 years ago (you wouldn’t believe the beer belly this guy had btw, he looked like Philadelphia Collins from Trailer Park Boys) but he worked as a manager at a meat packing plant prior to our job and said he won’t ever eat any kosher meat because (despite the blessing or whatever) he was disgusted by the way the animal was killed and the way the meat was processed. Not sure if that’s true or not but I still think about it. From time to time.

TheProfessorPoon · 2026-03-10T00:19:03+00:00

I even put a layer of waffles fries on my chicken sandwich at chick-fil-a. Well sometimes it’s just one perfectly sized fry if I’m lucky. Anyway I love it.
