It should come with a trucker hat.

Or a hat trick. That's hockey hall of famer Cam Neely of the Boston Bruins.

Anyone sprinkle some Metamucil on that Taco Bell breakfast?

Mary knows her shit, and IMO definitely read the comments.

Her gold tooth is distracting

Rolls of the tongue better than “kick his ass Patagonia Toothfish!!!”

Also, y’all want sea bass? Or toothfish? Lemme just reckon for one minute on which one I can sell for more $$.

Tonight: pan seared Chilean sea bass. Served with a vegetable medley and rice pilaf. $26.99

Or:

Tonight: pan seared toothfish with garlic mashed red potatoes. $14.99


“Can I substitute the rice and veggies for the garlic mashed potatoes?”

“No.”

Bring out The Gimp

[Buster Highmen]

Well, at least there's a hook.

[ötzi]

There has to be a pefectly normal, logical explanation.

Right?

[BCMtnHound]

Oh my. There are some stories there, both real and imagined. Are those hooks and chain on some type of ceiling runner, or just hanging isolated at those separations? And the pipe drains …

One question answered, a dozen more unearthed.

[ötzi]

Betcha they butchered hogs in there. Hogs, or....

Ok that was mean to drop a few weird pics with no context but I really do want some answers for those pics as well.

But first, a real update. I started digging at the base of the pvc vent and made it down a few feet then gave up and had a G&T. I’ll keep going soon.

As to those pictures - was looking at a house for sale in the area yesterday. Really oddly laid out. It had two small metal doors at the base of the house that opened into these two small concrete bays. The chains were coming in from where the ceiling meets the back wall and had concrete poured around them, so they are permanent as hell.

The only thing I could think of was that they were installed to allow you to connect boats or something to repel down the front yard to the water.

Here’s the house: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1...ource=txtshare

Whale poaching station?

Do black vehicles kill more birds? I just got a black van and have birds flying into it seemingly often. Weird.

[TBS]

No, because
Birds aren’t real

maybe people who don’t drink coffee but need to poop

Bravo

I was thinking abattoir

But given the location, maybe marine mammal abattoir. Or long pig, as previously suggested.

That should be in RE crash thread. Sold a year ago for $1.2
Not selling a year later for 125k more. After bathroom remodels. Maybe relief from the insanity is at hand.

Does rat poison go "good"?

I have a 15 year old box of the shit, it can't go bad, it's already nasty stuff

Guy who bought it did so impulsively without his wife’s input. She put up with the place, not liking it, for months until he finally relented and threw it on the market. Rookie move there.

After some remodel and closing costs he’s one of the few guys in the Seattle area who learned how not to make money on a real estate transaction.

After about 10 years it goes good and is fit for human consumption. I’ve been aging some in my wine cellar. Heard 2011 was a good year for it.

Name that sound:

Laying in bed this morning, all cats accounted for, suddenly there is a very loud BANG!

Sounded like it came from overhead in the attic space not something hitting the metal roof which has a distinct sound. There was no reverberation. It was crisp and sharp like a clap or shot or snap.

There is nothing in the attic space except for duct work and electrical. There was no other subsequent sound.

I did check the exterior of the house/roof but saw nothing.

metal contracting from temperature change?

[jm2e]

Garage door opener spring failure. If there’s one spring the door won’t open. If there’s 2 springs they will look different because one has unwound. Plan for $3-400 to have replaced.

Yeah I'm thinking it was some sort of contraction but man was it loud. Sent both the cats straight up in the air and flying down the stairs.

Is this a guess as to my noise or an issue you're having? If it's the former then no - I've got an overhead door - the kind that roll up.

Folks in the Utah thread mentioned a very loud boom this morning at 0830 MDT that was later found to be a meteor.

It is the height of the Perseids right now...

There's something banging on my house when it's real windy. I've been searching for it for years--moved or removed any possible candidate--without success.
