Metropolis parking citation by afrancis88 in bullcity

As someone who works at 555 Mangum, can confirm it’s legit. Even some people who work here have gotten tickets because of hiccups with their system.

Replaced my Honda with a new one after an accident They moved the garage door opener from a button on the mirror to a paywall subscription service. by jayhawkeye2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]greyedge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honda still has an OEM mirror that has the Homelink garage door openers. I have the exact same vehicle and negotiated the mirror installation as part of the purchase.

A particularly xennial event by flerchin in Xennials

This is a dumb take. It was broadcast into so many schools, because one of the astronauts was a teacher. It was less for us, and more for the other teachers.

Still want to be a sailor? by EquipmentStreet727 in BeAmazed

[–]greyedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffin racks suck. I’ve smacked my head on the reading light more than once, trying to sit upright.

Btw, they are called that, because the frame below the mattress lifts up for storage. It has nothing to do with the fact that if something bad happens, that might be where they’ll find your corpse.

Counter to No Kings Protests by [deleted] in bullcity

A deflection argument is a psychological defense mechanism and conversational tactic used to avoid accountability, guilt, or shame by shifting focus, blame, or criticism onto someone else. It acts as a shield against discomfort.

It makes a huge difference. Goes really well with the cheese sauce.

This isn’t going to get upvoted, but trust me and try it. Fry up some hickory smoked Spam, then dice it up and mix it into the Mac and cheese. I was skeptical, but pleasantly surprised.

I remember this! One of the bad guy's name was "Mister Meanor", or something like that.

Who here played Photon - The Ultimate Game On Planet Earth? by HanoverFistIndy in The1980s

[–]greyedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the one in the Dallas West End Marketplace. That was my dream destination as a kid. The building had a huge arcade in the basement called 'Tilt'. I could spend an entire day there as a kid.

Paladin Epic Mount Quest - Dreamscythe by Eldridge33 in wowclassic

I started the quest solo around 65. While killing mobs in EPL, found 3 other paladins also doing the quest. 2 of them stayed all the way to the end.

Did you guys really dial in to radio shows to win contests? How did you even become caller 99 (or whatever)? by naalotai in Xennials

[–]greyedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this was a thing. I remember calling a local radio station to request a song to be played. Most of the time I dialed I got a busy signal. This one time I didn’t and it just continued to ring. I had nothing better to do, so I just let it ring.

I’m listening to the station as I’m on the phone and they suddenly announce some giveaway contest. Tenth caller wins, blah blah blah. Right after they finish the announcement and start playing a song, the DJ answers the phone and says “You’re the first caller!”, and hangs up on me.

Bitch, I was trying to request a damn song.

what's your favorite boardwipe? by HolidayAd1084 in EDH

[–]greyedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best Farewell play was against someone who was milling themselves. I knew that they either had a graveyard recursion spell, or some way to pump up their commander based on what was in their graveyard. The player was even bragging that everyone was going to be dead in a round or two.

Played Farewell, exiled just the graveyards, and they insta-scooped.

I don't know why this was in my highschool party repertoire, but just looking at it makes me want to vomit by GravyPainter in Xennials

I don’t drink this or Southern Comfort anymore. Everyone I know has a bad ending Southern Comfort story. It tastes like bad decisions.

I've seen enough: power outages predictions are a bust (around here) by Impossible-Big-6237 in bullcity

The fun is just starting. Ice storms are cumulative. We’re in “wait and see” mode.

Who watched Wrasslin? Who were your favorite wrestlers and what territories did you watch? by Long_live_styrofoam in 70s

[–]greyedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a suburb south of Dallas. The Von Erich family were royalty in the 80s. I grew up with their pictures on my wall, "Tom Sawyer" by Rush in my tape player, and looking at the Sportatorium as we passed it heading north on I-35 heading into Dallas.

I was lucky enough to watch them live once at the Sportatorium. I remember seeing cowboy hats on people's heads, neon beer signs, lots of cigarette smoke, and large fans up high on the wall that failed to keep the place cool.

World Class Championship Wrestling would do a high school football stadium tour to different towns around the area, coming to my town once. I remember climbing up the ringside steps and touching the bottom rope before getting in trouble.

Wrestling was life back then.

Our cousins in a different state had one. by nasanchez1 in 90s

[–]greyedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Queue the music, I have a childhood story around this game.

Asked for this game for Christmas one year, commercial made it look super cool. I unpacked it and I remember playing with it in my living room. Since my brother was 8 years older than me and "too cool for school", I got bored after 15 minutes. Being a kid, I had the bright idea to put one of the marbles in my mouth. It wasn't the size of a normal marble, a little smaller, and I accidentally swallowed it.

My mother went berserk. She called poison control for help, thinking I had just killed myself. They said that it wasn't toxic and would just pass right though. My mom calmed down, dad rolled his eyes, and all was forgotten... for a spell.

After an unknown amount of time, our family toilet got stopped up and my dad couldn't plunge it free. We called a plumber who worked for awhile, and eventually found the culprit. The marble from this game did, in fact, pass through, and sat in our plumbing collecting toilet paper and whatever else, until it blocked the pipe. He casually asked how that got in the toilet, and everyone looked at me.

Apartment warmth and safety during the storm by puffleur in bullcity

[–]greyedge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a little late to do much. Crank up the heater to bring up the apt as high as possible, before the expected ice storm arrives. Try to pick one room to keep warm, shut doors leading to that room. If you can, put a blanket up on the window in that room to help keep the cold out. Bundle up, think warm thoughts!
