Edman85 Posted May 1 Posted May 1 I went to Lowes yesterday to get some sod plugs (In Florida, the grass grows sideways on stolons, so this works). The garden area was closed, so I had to go inside to ring them up and go out and grab them, like ice at a convenience store. The employee working the checkout area proceeded to type in sod into the touch screen to ring it up... and was unable to spell "sod." "Sid," "Sud", "Sd." Quote
chasfh Posted May 2 Posted May 2 The innate hotness that epitomized Marisa Tomei c. 1992 can hardly be denied, but it would be hard for the New York Times to come up with a more unflattering picture of her from this movie. I mean, yikes. Quote
oblong Posted May 2 Posted May 2 That hotness has carried over into 2026. She’s going to end up like Helen Mirren… Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted May 2 Author Posted May 2 Tuesday morning I woke up with "Renegade" by Styx in my head. Love the song, but hadn't heard it in years. Don't know why Wednesday I looked at the field for the Kentucky Derby having absolutely know prior knowledge of who was running and saw the favorite is a horse name Renegade. That's a sign. I put $50 on Renegade. I usually don't bet on horses. But I had to, right? Quote

Unable to because the keyboard would not cooperate or they did not know how Sod was spelled? It is getting scary. All the information in the world at their fingertips growing up with these damn "smart" phones and no idea how to think on their feet. We'll will the Alpha Babies raised with tablets since they were 3 grow up. Quote

Motor City Sonics Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago I had a weird couple of encounters today. Drove to Kroger to pick up vittles because I was making dinner for Ma. I park my car and I start walking towards the store and some guy, probably late 60s or early 70's goes up and takes a picture of my license plate. I asked him what he was doing and he says he takes pictures of cars with their tags in the wrong corner. Um, what the ****? I asked why it was his business and if he was the Tag Police. Looking around the parking lot there is no uniform spot for the sticker, saw stickers in every corner on different cars and in the middle. Anyway he gets into his red Ford pickucp and starts to back up so I get behind him to get a look at his plate and wow, he didn't like that at all. What's going on here? What kind of scam could be at play. By the way, his plate was 6PX K17. Truly bizarre. Then I stop at 7-11 at Monroe & Dartmouth in Dearborn and the poor guy behind the counter yells out like he stepped on a nail or something, then falls backwards, hits his head on the floor has a grand mal siezure. He starts doing that fencing thing where his arms and hands go rigid even thought he's out cold. Called 911 and waited so I could tell the EMTs what I saw. After dinner with mom I stopped by the store to talk to his boss and he is still at the hospital and talking alert, so I am glad he's going to be okay. Interesting day. But what's up with the guy taking my plate number. That was odd. He was not on the road when I was, so it could have been something I did driving (I am a very aggressive and impatient driver. Green light means go. 10 under the speed limit is unacceptable to me). Quote
