[Coiled]

Got we.....

 

[Texasgordo]

Bottum.....

That's how it's spelled over there

 

[ZX9RCAM]

That's how it's spelled over there

Over there in Round Rock?

 

[Grumps21]

Over there in Round Rock?

Maybe they discovered new a word from the Roosevelt Fonetic handbook that we haven’t seen yet.

Teddy Roosevelt’s Bold (But Doomed) Battle to Change American Spelling | HISTORY

The 26th president found that simplifying the language was anything but simple.

Over there in Round Rock?

Yeah.



It's called Round Rockenese

Have a fun one from my retired neighbor.

He got a C8 Corvette about a year ago, and he loves driving around the neighborhood, revving the motor like a teenager.

He’s also super random. Called me one day to ask me how much a jet airliner weighs…

Got a call this morning. He wants to take me riding around in his Corvette while he runs errands and gets a car wash.

I told him I really can’t…I work from home, we have kids, yada yea

He says let’s do it Saturday!

I declined.

He got annoyed and hung up on me

Never decline.

A Major I was in Army with got a phone call from an Old Guy he barely knew. Old Guy was ill in bed, wanted Major to visit.

Major went, just small talk.

A few weeks later, Major got a call. It was Old Guy’s Attorney. Old Guy had died. He had left Major a 3,700ac ranch in will.

Quien sabe ?

Apparently, poor Old Guy had only the Major he barely knew...damn, that makes me terribly sad...

It sounds like he needs a wingman?
Maybe buy him one of those realistic passenger dummies folks use in the HOV lane?

WSP: Driver caught using impressive dummy to evade fines while using HOV lanes

A Washington State Patrol (WSP) trooper ticketed a man for driving in the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes with a fake "dummy" passenger.

Never pass-up any opportunity to help an Elder or an ill person.

Be kind & polite to everyone.

GOD is watching.

Even if GOD were not watching; you’d know !

I sold a gun a few weeks ago, met the guy in a CVS parking lot. He was driving a brand new C8, his friends car. His friend wanted him to put some miles on it.

Does he have a boat? I'd be willing to put a little time on it!

Should have sent your MIL instead

And ask them to swing by the local Chicom restaurant for some egg rolls and general tso chicken…

 

[pronstar]

When their apartment/garage conversion was being built, I asked my MIL to stop washing dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.

Tonight, we had a big dinner for Dani the au pair, tomorrow is her last day.

I had to put the kids to sleep, MIL decided to “help” with the dishes.

Now my kitchen is flooded with soapy water.

Did she put dishwashing soap in the machine instead of dishwasher tablets/liquid ?

 

[General Zod]

Did she put dishwashing soap in the machine instead of dishwasher tablets/liquid ?

Seems likely. Or dishes that were coated in half-dissolved dishwashing soap, plus a tablet.

 

[Lead Belly]

Them dishes are now clean enough to eat off of. Like an episode of Lucy over there.

 

[pronstar]

Yeah they pre-wash everything with dish soap. Like, a lot of dish soap. We went thru about a bottle a week when they lived here. We go thru a bottle every few months now that they have their own-ish place LOL

It irritated me back then, still does I guess

But I have an expensive machine that does these things so she can spend that time with the kids…that’s the point that gets lost in translation, methinks

And I still find paper towels all over the fucking place
