Arby's on road trips is like playing russian roulette with your colon. 

That being said, I do like myself a french dip.

A few years back I wanted to buy a retired police cruiser but my wife pushed back and i didn’t end up getting one.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Cars.... How far have you went before getting a new one?

My first car was a 1980 Pontiac Bonneville.  Loved that car.  Bench seat in the front and back.  Huge freakin boat.

I got it up to about 150,000 miles.  When I got rid of it, I was putting in 1 quart of oil per gas fillup.  Gas cap was behind the back license plate.

Great car.

I'm curious if you told your dad and got a great dad response?   I'd bet on "Tastes fine to me"

After he looked at the date on the bottle, shrugged his shoulders, and said eff it.

I was in a league a while back, and watched a dude drink Hamm's beer through a straw and roll a 290.

It was amazing.

If they've been in the freezer and are not moldy, go for it.  Not sure if the effectiveness wears off after time.  One way to find out, I guess.

I dropped acid one time.  Once.  I did it, then later on went to take a crap.  I looked over, and the toilet paper roll was breathing.  Scared me pretty badly.  I spent the rest of the trip way frightened.  Not great.  After that, I just stuck with booze and weed.

Must be the lighting in the room, cause those fries look underdone.  And they look like they were cooked in the oven.

well that's a bit of an exaggeration... the worst thing a senator can do is probably like jacking off on the original copy of the US constitution or something

Regardless of who is at fault, or what happened, I feel terrible for all in Texas who are suffering.  This is brutal.

Holy crap, guys.

I live in central Illinois, and pay a power bill that includes electric and gas once per month.  I have honestly never thought about where it comes from or how I could lose it.

I feel for you guys that aren't getting what you pay for.

Srs, I am buying a generator because of this debacle & the only thing to decide is if it is gas operated/moveable or natural gas/permanent.  My leaning is gas operated.

Would LP be an option?

I just got done snowblowing my driveway.  My back hurts now.

Need to do my mother in law's later.  Guessing my back will be hurting worse later.

About 15 years ago (I think) my gallbladder stopped functioning.  No stones, just stopped functioning.  After meals, I would get a pretty intense belly ache and nausea.  It was rough for a bit.

The function test sucked.  They basically do a test to activate the gallbladder.  If it doesn't activate, you have your symptoms.  When they did it, of course, I had the symptoms.  When the nurse came in, I had tears in my eyes, and she said "I think we found the problem." I said, "no crap."

The surgery is super easy.  Outpatient laproscope.  Sore belly for a few days, and watch the tiny incisions for infection.  I had mine out on a Thursday, back to work on Monday.

Guise, I’m at the DMV helping my oldest get her learner’s permit. Kinda surreal. Thinking about how proud she makes me and what a fantastic human she is becoming (mostly thanks to her mom).

If you're at a place with snow, take her to a parking lot and let her play in it.  It will really help.

He's probably going to jail

And probably for a long time.  That kid still isn't out of a coma. 

I would hope so, but I'm pretty jaded when it comes to our legal system.

Another fun game is trying to figure out what the date actually means.  Sell by? Best if used by? Rotten by? Explosive diarrhea by?

How long will you guys use milk after the exp date? I usually stretch it by a day or two.

Expiration dates are a giant scam led by Big Food and Big Grocery Store.  Oh this thing is expired, guess I have to throw it away and buy another one!  "Best by" dates are even more vague and therefore a bigger scam.

Yeah milk is good for about 2 days after the expiration date.  If it passes the smell test it's good to go.

2 days?  Psh...

Walmart milk will actually go bad before the expiration date.  I've seen it.

Has anyone seen Get Him to the Greek? Russell Brand and Jonah Hill.  Spin-off sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

It's one of those movies that's pretty bad, but really funny all at the same time.

Nothing at all expired in the fridge, I'm vigilant about that, this abomination was in my pantry that had a best by date of December 22 2015.

definitely doesn’t expire and I fully expect you to jokingly serve that to your wife for valentines

remember you owe her after that dad remote control debacle

Served in a heart shaped pan.  By candlelight, of course.

What wine goes with Homestyle Bakes?

I'll check out the condiment section when I get home but I know there is like 6-8 untouched bud light pounders in there that I bought to give to my friend when he helped me move in around May '16

How the hell you pull this crap off?

There have been 12 Truly’s in my fridge untouched since Saturday and that is a record in my household. 4.5 years of BL Pounders?

Damn.  Open up one of those pounders and all the skunks in the neighborhood will come running.
