Me pulling into a parking lot: Oh, Veloster N. Really would like to drive one of those.

Moment later: Holy crap. A Shelby Daytona?! I cannot remember the last time I’ve seen one.

I made a pricey meh turkey 1x & decided to never make it again for thxgiving. I marinate & grill salmon - turkey of the sea - & we pair it w/a ton of Italian despite having no Italian blood. The wine drinks well despite being abt 3yrs outside the 'best' window [guessing]. Missed it in our collection

appropriate for the guy who actually wrote the song to sing it in a United States football stadium, after all everyone else already does

pub I used to go to had the Touchtunes app digital jukebox & sometimes I'd queue up Tom Jones' "What's New Pussycat" & play it 10x in a row when leaving [yes, Mulaney's bit, which helped some get it]

they removed the song

but they forgot to remove the Alvin & the Chipmunks version

so it continued
On national jukebox day I must come out against being able to control the jukebox from your phone, people should know who put on that awful song and you should stand there and support your taste with whole heart

Not working today, day 3 of 9 in a row, and feeling my return to 'normal' [for me] - inflammation subsiding, weird aches disappearing, the ability to think coming back, I can sleep! - really doesn't say good things abt my current workplace & anxiety lol

Also, we're back on our moving West bullshit

What? You mean you don't see 31-34 year old base model Chevy Cavaliers in absolutely mint condition every day?

this is very wrong. we own no rustic pottery
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

"Been Caught Stealing" [because he literally stole the ball from the Bucs receiver's hands] and Jane's Addiction is from LA - and the LA Rams scored. Double points. No one else understands the outro game like SNF on NBC. Why do other networks even try?

sitting here calculating how much 'fun' this Eagles loss just cost me on this vacation because wow she is not happy right now

they're not even my team and I want Kevin Patullo fired

It'd have been better to let Pickens score there

I suspect the Eagles play this way just to troll WIP callers and hosts

Isn't this just a used car? What am I missing here? Did BaT owe someone a favor?

You could get these with a 5-speed manual. The 80s & 90s were great.
