Do you think Petroglyph was also Pacomartin?

They both stopped posting on the same day. They don't seem anything alike, but still seems an odd coincidence.

Or maybe it's they both never showed up on the site again on the same date.

This is advertised swag on Goodyear's stie. It would have been rude to use a chubby girl.

Must be instant karma. Person whose snowman gets destroyed by malicious driver of car builds one over stump.

I think that’s standard size.

I love that and would do the same if I built a snowman.

Went for romantic dinner with wifey at Cracker Barrel. ( maybe not romantic…)
Sat down. Friendly waitress takes order. I order fish fry, wifey fried chicken. Moments later friendly manager comes by and asks ‘how was the chicken’? I answered I’m sure it will be good but we just ordered. She thinks I’m joking. She says she was the one who brought it to me! I assure her she’s mistaken, and she says I’m the spitting image of the guy she brought it to. By Cracker Barrel standards pretty slow service, but eventually we get our orders, eat, and ask for the check. At CB you pay at a register, not the table. I didn’t even look at the check. Take it to the register…. and the girl can’t cash it out for some reason. I ask what’s on the bill, and she says fried chicken. Tell her I also had fish, and two sodas. Manager comes over and can’t figure out what to do. I suggest make a new bill with my two entrees and sodas. Blank stares. They get another manager. After pushing a million buttons on their computer screen the second manager says ‘I can’t figure out what to do; the meal is on us’. I gave the waitress a cash tip. And suggested that somehow the guy who the first manager brought the chicken to absconded without paying. But not sure why I couldn’t pay for his bill. And why they couldn’t find my open bill.

Same day. I bought a new golf cart a month or two ago. One of the buckles that holds the strap that holds the golf clubs snapped off. Two of the other 3 are loose. I called, and clearly relayed this information. They said they’d be sending out a guy to fix it. Guy arrives in clean white van that says ‘CARTIOLOGIST’ on it! Guy looks at it, but says he wish he knew that one of the buckles was missing as he didn’t bring a replacement. I asked when a customer tells the (dipshit) girl on the phone that one is missing that information isn’t relayed to the repair guy? Anyway, he looks at the two loose ones, mumbles something like ‘cheap piece of shit’ and suggests his he gets a whole new unit to install. They will call me on Monday..,

I must be a stereotypical middle class chain restaurant eating person because I always enjoy Cracker Barrel. That or it could be that I reminisce about my younger years when there were no local Cracker Barrel restaurants in Ohio and we only ate at them when we travelled to the south.

Back in my law school days I asked a prim and proper lady from Turkey out for dinner.

We went to a local Chinese restaurant; divey, but good.

While lifting the sugar bowl a cockroach scurried out.

Our only date.
