When I was about 7 a new store Acme Auto was being built. I couldn't wait for it to open cause I knew you would be able to get all the Acme stuff the Coyote used. Needless to say I was sorely disappointed when it opened and I finally convicted my parents to take me. I think that's why I am still a little twisted!

We don't make the prices, we make the prices higher.

Back in the day we negotiated lines of credit with individual stores and shopkeepers. Bigger places like the Woolworth managed it with store credit cards.

It's tricky business this credit animal. Arguably the economy would be more sluggish without it but in a lot of ways it's just another mask on a wealth redistribution game. Some people default on their debts while others pay exorbitant interest for years on end to cover losses on defaulted accounts.

It really reminds me of some other schemes that are sorta like inverted Ponzi's but I can't quite put my finger on them ... insurance? healthcare? medicare? social security? ... I sometimes wonder what all those things have in common. Taxes?

Instant quote for a long block right there.

You fix one thing on that engine and everything else that goes wrong with that engine thereafter is all of a sudden your fault.

About 20 years ago, I overhead a customer going ballistic on a service writer. Walked out and asked what’s the problem.

“YOUR MECHANIC FIXED MY RADIATOR LEAK AND NOW MY A/C STOPPED WORKING.”

Sent the tech out to look at it. About 60 seconds later the customers rips out of the parking lot sideways. Tech walked back in and I asked what he found. “A/C button disengaged.”
 
Need a cold front to push down some fresh birds. Got a couple mallards, woodies and gadwall last weekend.

Birds are getting educated/stale and need some cold air to push some new one's down to ambush on the pond. Need some more mallard and widgeon to eat over the winter.
Killed 5 green heads on Sunday. Buddy’s pond and were really picky there. Could have both limited on ducks but we’re only shooting big drakes in the spread. No pass shooting, no hens, no water shooting. It’s very low effort to hunt this spot so it’s really fun to go waterfowling rather than duck hunting. lol.

Who is training these characters?


Got to be more to this story.

Fire truck standing by and another person waving a flashlight before the rear of the cruiser which had all its light going.

Yep, stupid.

A police officer in North Carolina found out the hard way that there are some places you just can’t park a police cruiser. The Greensboro officer was responding to a collision involving two vehicles in Jamestown, NC, at the end of November, reports local news outlet ABC 11. Upon arrival the officer parked their state-issued Explorer Police Interceptor over the train tracks. Mere minutes later an Amtrak train came through and destroyed the police SUV.


While attending to the incident, the officer must have forgotten where they’d parked as the crossing lights started flashing and the barriers began closing, which trapped the car across the tracks. An Amtrak passenger service then came through town,

We have been very wet here and the hunting has been fantastic. Best in years. I am seeing massive numbers of Pintails like I've never seen before. 80% of our birds right now are Pintails. I though they were supposed to be rare, which is why you only get one!

We are just not shooting them at all, letting them decoy, and then shooting other ducks over their heads. We're not shooting the one you can keep, because sometimes they flush into the ducks you are shooting at, and you only get the one mistake. It's crazy. Never seen anything like it, but I definitely think they need to up the pinner limit to two next years, because the numbers are huge. The mallards aren't even here yet. I want all these pintails pushed out and for the mallards to get here.

We installed a phone w/ voice control module, way back when those were dealer installed options, in one of our super-douche customers car. He came back a few days later screaming in the service drive about how his car is fucked up and we’re all idiots and he wants it all taken out and refunded blah blah blah. Service manager(who is the best tech I’ve ever seen) gets in the car and looks around for a minute. He then calls McDouche customer over and says “You’re phone wasn’t clicked into the cradle all the way”. Clicks the phone into the cradle and says “Get the fuck out of my service drive”.
