the lady at the chick-fil-a drive through took an extra long time this morning w/ my order (she was waiting for hash browns, i heard her tell the dude in the back that she needed hash browns). the ginger girl in the TL behind me from texas seemed to be like "wtf?"

sorry babe, my bad

I find a great way to start the day is with two orders of Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis, a Plain Biscuit (buttered) and a Cinnamon Cluster. Also a 100% Colombian Coffee. I can't not dominate life when I'm hopped up on all that go fuel. Should probably just make that a meal deal and call it the Life Dominator Meal Combo.

my Life Dominator Meal Combo includes a spicy chicken breakfast burrito + 2 jalapeno salsas, an order of hash browns, and a powerade. i didn't realize you could order a plain buttered biscuit, i feel like a complete n00b dumbass.

chick-fil-a: 1
clams: 0

look for this score to be tied up soon and pretty soon after that i will take the lead and then just basically always score a point and they will never score another point on me.

I would give chick-fil-a 1 point for every time you have eaten there and did not realize you could order the plain buttered biscuit. It's probably going to take you a while to tie the score.

i've never eaten there.
clams: 1
nuts kicked: 0

Lady just got into work complaining about traffic. Some truck driver is in the hospital because he crashed his semi on the highway but she is more concerned with how frustrating it was sitting in her car for 1 hour. I mean my goodness sakes.

Well, 99% chance it's either the truck driver's fault or some other dumb crap. I rough ridin' hate sitting in traffic because of some other bad person's ineptitude. Don't waste my time.

Anyway, back to topic, I'm 10 pounds overweight because food is so damned plentiful and cheap. I'm thinking about paying a gym a bunch of money so I can get some exercise.

Like I don't really have a temper with people or animals. But like if some thing doesn't work like it's supposed to, oh my eff, pisses me off so bad. Also, when you're an engineer and something doesn't work, it's SOP to be like "whoever designed this was a rough ridin' moron." Even if the design is fine, that's what you do.

I joined a wine club back in March for some pretty elite wine in the Napa region. They don't deliver to Kansas, so I have to get my shipments sent to Missouri.

so wait...are you having an irrigation dude come to your house because one of your sprinkler heads is facing the wrong way?

Is that what's wrong? I don't know. I just know I can't sleep with it spraying on my window.

So, you're saying it's something simple that I could probably just ask my landscaper to adjust?

You should probably just put your house up for sale and move. T's & P's.

you should tell your pud wine club to quit being cheap asses and buy the ks special order shipping license. or quit describing your wine club as elite. both options available to you.

I dunno, a first world office blocks access to turntable.fm right? (Mine doesn't, but still.)

great point, i should have referenced a shitty wine club that sells elite wine.
elite wine drinkers buy their elite wine direct.

My roommate has an espresso machine that came with a can of mocha chowder to enhance the espresso experience. This morning I couldn't find the mocha chowder so I had to drink a regular flavored espresso. So peeved

A lot of them I visited did not know they could ship to Kansas. It's only been legal for a couple years I think.

yes, it's only been since 2009, but you should make them ship to ks. they're just being lazy and shitting on residents of your state and making you drive down to the UPS facility on james street in kcmo.

I get baseballs hit into part of my back yard all the rough ridin' time, because there is a baseball practice area across the street.

Last week, when my mower guy was mowing my lawn, his mower launched one of those baseballs at super sonic speed, and it blew a hole THROUGH my privacy fence and directly through my neighbor's window.

On the upside, I get loads of free baseballs.
