Fucking Hell... Matt LeBlanc just resigned from Top Gear. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-...its-top-gear-time-to-be-sent-to-the-scrapheap That really sucks. After a dismal start post-Clarkson/Hammond/May, they finally seemed to be hitting their stride, and I was really enjoying it. There is some true chemistry amongst the three new co-hosts, and LeBlanc is a real car nut. I was looking forward to being able to enjoy episodes of both The Grand Tour and Top Gear next season... now, I'm not so sure.
Focus: National Donut Day! There is a wrapper on someone's desk in this house that is not me that has a half eaten apple fritter in it. Bastard! What's your favorite? I had a perfect apple fritter at a Yum Yum donuts in CA and they've been my favorite ever since. And I'm not sure why I googled this, but there's more than I thought there'd be: Spoiler It's a 3 day weekend for me, woohoo! We get a lovely bullshit holiday Monday, Jefferson Davis's birthday.
I'll see you one awesome cover, and raise you a country parody song that's also better-sounding country song than most of the generic shit on the radio.
A new dollar store opened near us so I stopped in to check it out. This isn't one of your faux dollar stores where prices are all over the place - every item in this store is $1. While I can see picking up soup, drinking glasses and barbecue skewers here, why would anyone entrust things like family planning or a potential parole violation to a $1 purchase?
I bought both Wheeler Walker Jr's albums, we're going to the beach over father's day weekend with my very conservative redneck in-laws. Because I'm the resident music nerd they always leave the playlists up to me. I'm gonna slide a few in there and see who notices. Fight club style when he would splice porn into the movies. "Cause if I had my druthers, I'd butt fuck both your brothers Then I'd grab your sister, take her out back and fist her Go down on your momma, start a whole lotta drama Save your dad for last, so I can eat out his ass." Poetry. Pure poetry.
Did you take a good look at the shoppers there? Folks that shop at the dollar store are not usually there because of their outstanding life decisions.
I actually shop there all the time because they have reasonable shit for amazing prices... like kitchen cooking utensils, mixing bowls or tupperware stuff, etc. Hell, I needed a metal bucket for my shop (oily rags, anti-fire thing), and Home Depot didn't carry them except some fucking $50 fancy POS for fire place ashes... Dollar Store had one for $4. Same goes for popsicle sticks or tongue depressors for glue-ups, or little dixie cups for mixing epoxy... Dollar Store baby. All day, every day.
That's not a true Dollar Store. The one's I've been in everything is 99 cents and they've been filled with toothless hillbillies filling their carts with Windox and 408 cleaner to tidy up their house along with 8 packs of single ply toilet paper....all for 99 cents each!
My partners at my mud racing track took it upon themselves to play David Allan Coe bullshit through our PA system. I screeched at them loud enough to drown out the PA and the song. I'm so thankful I don't have to deal with rednecks on a daily basis anymore.
The one here in town is a true dollar store where everything is a buck. I could eat like a king on microwaveable burgers, potted meat product and corned beef hash for about $3. I have to confess I’m missing a molar and have several caps so draw your own conclusions.
To be fair, we have above-average Dollar stores here. Some of them have almost suspiciously good products. I like Spanish moss for decorating, it is ten times cheaper at Dollar Tree than anywhere else. They are VERY handy. Even things like garbage bags are good quality and size. It doesn’t seem right.
So, I've got some rhubarb plants beside the house that are ready to be harvested. Typically, I'm good for one strawberry/rhubarb pie and that'll do me for rhubarb for the year. Anyone have any other suggestions on what to do with it?
They're also good for cleaners. I don't go out of my way, but if I pass one I will always pick up some off brand draino, bleach, and like you said buckets and plastic containers (tupperware I won't care if we throw away, water bowls for the dogs). If the sink or shower clogs up it's a lot easier to pour a $1 bottle of generic shit down there first. Usually it fixes it just as well. If it doesn't, then I'll go pick up the industrial shit.
