Be unremarkable but no so unremarkable as to be in and of itself remarkable
Damn Alan’s bad boy identical twin brother who rides a motorcycle!
Maybe not the worst but the most recent one is my father in law. You know the type: baby boomer who had every advantage growing up but didn’t avail himself but still managed to eke out a comfortable life while working at the business his dad started and he inherited. He doesn’t take in the bucks but it allows him and my mil to own a comfortable home in an area that is only going up in value. Anyway…
As you can imagine super religious, super right wing, trump loving, gay hating (has a gay brother that he’s estranged from), you know… the usual. What gets me is remember trump did an interview a week or two ago where he said that all federal employees are “crooked and dishonest and must be held accountable”? He couldn’t agree more! Guess who my wife (his daughter) and I work for? Yeah…
Well this answers some questions
Can’t stop the signal…
I found a Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster. That’s the one featured in an excellent video from Technology Connections. I can afford the $6 for toast that’s “Automatic Beyond Belief!”
I got to sit in one of the Batman Begins tumblers that was used for filming the movie(s). I used to work where I had easy access to one and early one morning when nobody was around I figured out how to open the door (hatch really over the driver seat) and climbed in. How cool it looked on the outside was unfortunately inversely proportional to how comfortable it was on the inside. Picture a NASCAR car and you’re most of the way there. Neat experience
Oh and also OP’s mom…
♫ Daddy would you like some sausage? ♫
A funnier response for more social occasions that I bust out is “thanks, I practice everyday”. Usually gets a laugh
I get more people saying to me “wow you’re very tall” to which I respond with “yes and you are very observant” which I feel is funny in the moment but is just condescending enough to make them realize it later on.
Stop judging this poor baby, he already has the hardest life
There is no way that The Core is worse than Moonfall. I mean… it’s not good… but at least it’s fun and has Stanley Tucci in it
I occasionally teach some training classes for my organization and one of my favorite things is to say that we’re going to play one of those ice breaker games, wait a beat, then say that we’re actually not going to do that because I hate them. Usually gets people to relax and open up a bit
I would take her out for ice cream
Who are you and how did you get in here?
They are definitely a buy it for life item assuming you take care of them and get them resoled when needed which mine are about ready for. I did the paper trace method where you mail them your fit sheets. I’m not sure what the process is now but I went through it about 8/9 years ago so it probably has changed. That said, it was a smooth and easy process but be prepared to wait for them. I’m unfortunately one of the small percentage of people who don’t fit into stock sizes so they had to custom build for me which they did an amazing job of!
Yes this is definitely something to keep on top of but don’t feel the need to do it too too often ex. Once a month assuming you drive a normal amount. Check the manual in your glove box and stick the recommended service interval. It should list miles driven and a length of time. Change it at which ever of those come first.
