"this video does not exist"

Neither does my social life.

Speaking of which, it's now official: I am almost completely out of the loop when it comes to celebrities. I discovered this when I clicked through a site featuring childhood photos of various movie, TV, and musical stars... and discovered I never even heard of half the people featured.

Not sure if my ignorance is necessarily a bad thing, though.

"this video does not exist"

Neither does my social life.

So, I was thinking about this today and I came up with a solution which should solve any lack of social interaction.

Keep in mind this is tailor made for you Zag, I put a lot of thought into it.

First, gather up your Nerf gun arsenal and hike down to the nearest middle school. Challenge the kids there to a big Nerf war. You can do things like capture the flag and TDM and stuff. After a while just casually say something like, "You guys like Skylanders? Wanna come over and play?"

When they show up you can play video games and have chips and Faygo. I'm sure you have more games then any of those kids have ever seen, they'll be hooked. You'll have people showing up from then on out. As much "social" as will fit in your life.

What could be simpler?

Just looking out for ya buddy....

Do me a big favor, and stop looking out for me.

You're just gonna get me into trouble with your ideas.

I got to #100 and recognized less than 10 of them.

I'm so out of the loop the link didn't load.

I'm so out of the loop the link didn't load.

Did you click the first link on my post, or one that was quoted in subsequent posts? If you did the latter, you may want to do the former. You know, in case you really give a damn. Personally, I don't think you're missing out all that much.

After eight years of honorable service, I had to retire my phone today. Its survived a broken screen and two trips through the washing machine, but the third time was its undoing. I just hate that I'm unable to move over my contact list, so I have to either ask people for their numbers again, or answer awkwardly when I don't recognize the number. 

[Izret101]

Answer every unrecognized number with an accent.

Finally got around to closing the AmEx Serve account i opened back in 2011. Opened it to get the free 10$s used that and never touched it again.
Pretty sure they started charging 1$ a month awhile ago to keep the card active so i probably paid more than i got out of it....

Our dryer crapped out. Knew it was the motor but opened it up anyways to humor the woman. She thought it was the belt. Surprise surprise i was right. Hopefully can get a "new to us" one in a couple days.

As glad as I am to get a break from the winter weather, I think I prefer it over the rain. Our goal at work today was to plant 120 shrubs on the far side of a fairly large stream. Its about 10 feet across and a couple feet deep, but there's a couple spots where they put in large rocks, which we use to get across. When I got there, it was no problem getting across. A little while later, I could no longer see the rocks, but I knew they were just a few inches deeper. At lunch, the rocks were completely hidden, so we built a bridge from some lumber on the site. It wasn't great, but was a few inches above the water level. We come back from lunch to find the boards gone. They were completely underwater.
So we dragged the boards back out of the water, and left. My shovel and water jug are still there.

Did my taxes...
"You don't have a refund or a balance due. Congratulations, that's great tax planning!"

Oh if only they knew how poor my planning was.

Wait, you owed/were owed $0?

[Izret101]

Correct.
