You Keep Using That Word...

I saw this at a major hardware store while waiting for customer service.

First software, then vaccine tracking chips and now this?!?

Unpredictable Missouri Weather

 My phone at work has a convenient weather app.  Last week, it had a bit of a misunderstanding (I hope).  You may click the picture to enbiggen.

I thought it had been unseasonably warm as of late.  I guess I just need my light jacket today.

U Can't Touch This

Today's post comes courtesy of field correspondent, Shu (which is a phrase I haven't typed in a long time).


He writes:
It's okay for customers to change the thermostat, but don't dare as much as touch the GM. No word on their policy of feeding the bear.

Google Translate Never Lets You Down

Soooo, it's been a while.  Mayhap you've noticed that there has been a couple things going on in the world and I have been a bit... distracted.  In any case, I am going to try to get back on track with the postings, because the weirdness in this world hasn't let up.

What we have here is a pic of the box from a water bottle pump.  It works very well and is quite convenient.  However, the description has some interesting wording.  Please click the picture to enbiggen.


small and easy handy.  Who wouldn't want that?

material and child standard silicone tube.  I've got nothing.

Barbecue.  Just... barbecue.

This Post Is Labeled A Post

Long-time field correspondent Lord Captain Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. brings us today's post.


He writes:
I was assembling a deck box and appreciating how well the manufacturer labeled the parts. I then noticed that the bag holding the hinges had conveniently been labeled ‘bag’.  I thought I might open it and find a bag inside the ‘bag’ but no, the ‘bag’ containing the hinges was identified for my ease of assembly.

Maybe This Has Something To Do With Chistmas

I see the this sign every morning the garage where I park.


I don't know what a ginch is but an 8 foot one sounds terrifying.

I Don't Even Know What To Call This

This is a picture of a neighbor's mailbox from last week.

That's Big Bird looking very... intense on that mailbox. Good day, citizens!

He Had A Dream

I forgot that I had taken this picture when we went to Las Vegas back in January.  You may click the picture to engiggen.

Now we know how Freemont is answering MLK's quote: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"

On The Crest Of Value

We haven't heard from Field Correspondent Shu in a while.  Let's go to him now.


The new economy has required creativity in marketing and Crest and Kroger are at the forefront. Novice shoppers might believe they're getting a deal by purchasing two single tubes of toothpaste at $2.79 each or $5.58 total. But experienced shoppers will see through the facade and for just an additional one dollar and one penny, they'll go for the VALUE 2 PACK.

16.95 Proof Cola

I was given this receipt after having lunch a couple weeks ago.  Click the picture to enbiggen.


If I may draw you attention to the line just below "Subtotal".  Am I'm subsidizing someone's Pepsi habit (I drank water with lunch)?
