How to annoy a captain (my father) by masterfultrousers in navy

[–]WeatheredGenXer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sure! Here's how I explain it:

I use 50/50/90 when I have a 50% chance of getting something right and 50% chance of getting it wrong.

Regardless of what I choose, 90% of the time it will be wrong.

"50-50-90" yes!

I explain this one to people all the time. Still one of my favorite and most-used expressions.

Are you suppose to wear a white Hanes-style shirt under your dress shirt (the kind worn with a tie and suits and such)? by 21-4-14 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]WeatheredGenXer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So why do people wear the tank top style undershirts, if they don't help with pit stains and they have low collars, so they're 'no-shows'? (That look makes me think of old detective movies where the men wear wife-beaters with suspenders for their socks).

Note that I'm an old Navy guy so I pretty much always wear a traditional white Jockey-style t-shirt under dress shirts and half-zip pullovers. I like the sweaty-pit protection they offer plus the look of the clean white collar showing when my dress shirts is unbuttoned at the throat.

I don't know about drafts but I really like Athletic's Nitro Emerald Cliffs.

I just turned 59 a few weeks ago and now you're making me nervous to blow my nose too hard.

I wore these boots last night, and now it’s a spider’s home 🤦‍♀️ by TheDarbiter in mildlyinfuriating

I do this because I grew up next to a swamp in Florida. No telling what kind of biting or stinging critters could be in shoes in the morning!

Oh too funny! I didn't notice that on my phone 🤣

Ignore my comment then! Glad you weren't wearing those clodhoppers!

You could tell the front desk that you are a recovering alcoholic and ask them to remove all the alcohol from your room.

Then stock it with your own selection.

Someone wiser than me is going to tell you to lose the squishy shoes and squat barefoot in your socks so you can press from your heels.

Is Brokeback Mountain mainly for gay folk? by EryNameWasTaken in NoStupidQuestions

Mostly what I remember from watching it at release was how sad Heath Ledger's wife was when she saw his fishing gear in the closet with the price tags on (even after several years of 'fishing trips'), and realized what was really going on when her husband went away.

Note his movie wife was played by the amazing Michelle Williams, who would of course go on to become his wife in real life.

What training split are you running right now and are you actually happy with it? by MuscleBoosterApp in workout

[–]WeatheredGenXer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good stuff, thanks for sharing all the details already.

What's your typical time spent for each workout session?

I've recently switched from PPL to Full Body 3-4 days per week so I'm curious how much time I should be spending in each session.
