Polar Vortex vs Solar Vortex

I removed the punctuation to make the mental image more entertaining.
 
I'm trying to think of what I want to do today. I have a lot of home improvement stuff to do because I'm getting the Savage Manse ready to put on the market.

There's lots of weeding and yard work to do as well.

I could take a weekend trip, but I really don't feel like driving anywhere. I could go float in my boat I guess.

Or I could just sit here and do nothing.
 
Jordan Zimmermann is the only Nat to make the All Star team.

I wish they'd do away with the whole thing and give teams a break in their schedule like they do in the NFL. And wait until the end of the year and see which individual players put up the best numbers. Or continue to let no-nothing fans vote for their favorites half way through the season and just call it the MLB Beauty Contest.
 
I can never remember if it's spring rolls or egg rolls that I like best.

I like the thin wrapping that's kind of translucent.

Spring roll I think that is...
 
The best part of the 4th of July festivities are the news stories post celebration of people burning down their house and/or blowing their hands off.

Darwinism makes me giggle.
 
So it's Tuesday and part of my Tuesday morning routine is to sit here in my office, looking out the window. We here in Johnnyville have private garbage companies that pick up our household trash (the county picks up the recycling). Everyone seems to have a different service, which means there are trash cans set out every day of the week...

Well on Tuesday mornings a guy in a pick-up comes through and picks up everyone's trash. My trash is supposed to be picked up on Wednesday, but if I set it out on Tuesday, this guy will pick it up. I don't know how this guy stays in business because I'm not sure anyone actually pays him.

Sometimes I think I should go out and ask him why he picks up the trash of his non-customers. Other times I think I should save myself $7 a month, fire my trash guy, and let this guy pick up my trash for free. Usually I just note the situation and realize I just don't care that much.

If only I could get the neighbor's lawn guy to cut my grass for free...
 
What summer should be like.

It hasn't rained here for a while. For the past week it's been perfect, but today it's hot and humid.
 
it has rained here every day for... forever!

but when it stops raining, it's hot & humid.
 
I dropped $10 in Niagara Falls last weekend. :D

I play the Powerball, but otherwise I'm way too cheap to gamble.


As an aside - A hillbilly I went to high school with won second place in the World Series of Poker a few years ago and got $5 million. Up home, he's like Jed Clampett now.
 
I hope the McRib will be back soon!

This should really be in a chemistry thread:

"The patty is, according to McDonald's website, "pork, water, salt, dextrose, BHA and BHT and propyl gallate and citric acid (preservatives).""

"The sauce is "water, high fructose corn syrup, tomato paste, distilled vinegar, molasses, natural smoke flavor (plant source), food starch-modified, salt, sugar, spices, soybean oil, xanthan gum, onion powder, garlic powder, chili pepper, sodium benzoate (preservative), caramel color, beet powder.""

"The patty is topped with some chopped raw onion and pickle slices made from "cucumbers, water, distilled vinegar, salt, calcium chloride, alum, potassium sorbate (preservative), natural flavors (plant source), polysorbate 80, extractives of turmeric (color).""

Better than a McRib!




Mary had a little pig

Mary had a little pig,
She kept it fat and mellow.
And when the price of pork went up,
Dad shot the little fellow.

Mary had a little pig.
Her father shot it dead.
Now it goes to school with her,
Between two hunks of bread.

Finally, a Mary thread!

Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
Mary went to bed one night,
The lamb was bound to go.

The lamb turned out
To be a ram
And Mary had
A little lamb.
