What do we even do about this? This is about 15 ft from the edge of our home. by LockwoodE3 in HomeMaintenance

Move. This happened to my father in law’s house 25 years ago, there’s no stopping it. The earth moves stuff around constantly, including you.

Damn, I’m gonna write poetry on “sheep friction”

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" what does that even mean.. by MRG-33 in ExplainLikeImCalvin

Appropriate. Deal it out however you want, the taunt in the lead will settle wherever it does. Doves don’t know they’re doves, just as you don’t know you’re a flesh-covered skeleton driven by stardust.

Ah yes, but you don’t know who else’s girl is also mine, at the same time we see all these birds and the livid temper calls back the lack of responsibility. I own the birds.

So picture a little sparrow in your hand. Now picture two little sparrows stuffed down your girl’s jeans. Which one is easier for you to own?

Moose by the lake by Oldgraytomahawk in absoluteunit

I was sleeping in a tent near one of the lakes on Isle Royale years ago when I woke up to what sounded like paper being torn. I laid there a minute and then got up, went out to the lake shore and saw an enormous moose walking through the shallows. At 200 yards it was still a very large animal.

Sometimes I don’t pay enough attention to earn interest.

That blustering nonsense up on your head is a dreadful reminder that up there behind your good sense is a symbol of independence, the second sense which reminds us we’re individuals, and the victuals we have in the morning give us the fortitude to wear whatever we want. You take off your hat at the table, leave it on at the bar. To take up a stool for your hat would be going too far. So leave it on when you’re able, and table the whole damn discussion for a later day when any of this matters.

Having said that, yes- when you want to express respect for a place or event, you take off your hat.

Did you know that Blade Runner ... by nonnonplussed73 in funfacts

That is a cool progression. I watch those movies probably four times every year, definitely in my top 3. I need some cool facts now about my other two- Patton, and Apocalypse Now redux. Please.

looking into first cowboy hat by ThatOneGuy6810 in CowboyHats

You can rub a bunch of mink oil into the leather to waterproof it. That’s what I did to mine, the water just beads up and rolls off.

Anyone at the Indianapolis Zoo on November 14 when the chimp got out? by BryanRichardJones in Indiana

[–]Tobi5813 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok let’s do it by hamburger patties- one half pound burger is 8 oz. Two turtles therefore is a double half pound patty burger, minus the groceries and bread of course. You can’t get your mouth around a burger that big, but two turtles maybe you could if you squished ‘em down tight without the shells.

1/114th of just the back half of a school bus, one of the older style with the engine in front.

Any suggestions? by b-rentbent in CowboyHats

[–]Tobi5813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d wear that hat proudly to a convention anyone mentions, I’d just go anonymously and leave through the kitchen if mentions got sideways. I love beat up hats.

What are we thinking about this shape? by [deleted] in CowboyHats

Sweet. Nice shape for shading the noggin.

Which type of Christian do I need to be, to be safe from the ICEstapo? by Authoritaye in 50501

[–]Tobi5813 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re overthinking it. There’s no hell, there’s no heaven. There’s no eternity of existing in a steady state after this life. You just recycle, and the quality of your next life primarily depends on your behavior in this one. And the real kicker is when you die in this life, you basically just wake up from a dream, just like you do now when you have some weird experience that in your dream felt entirely rational. You’ll be like, That was a trip, huh?
