What have you all noticed?

There's just no feeling svelte with all that junk in the tummy.

that men driving red corvettes are normally squicky middle-aged divorcees and think you should immediately fall for them because of the 'vette?
(Though other squickiness issues aside why you would ever want to get into a car that they treat like a child and be afraid you might damage it by farting in it is another question.)

I haven't noticed that in the Bay Area though [and I don't drive like that]. Around here it's the BMW drivers who act like they're on the Autobahn.

No way! 10, 20 and 30% off are never as much as they sound like. I've made a rule for myself that I can't consider it "on sale" unless it's at least 50% off.

My car is a Buick. I drive about 57 mph. My husband's car is a Ford. I drive that about 57 mph. In this case, at least, it's the driver, not the vehicle.
here's one that is specific to my work: ever notice how something goes wrong with the computer program when you are in the middle of something or when you aren't doing anything at all? (we have a program that shuts down at the drop of a hat ... or something. There is no commonality, no clue to what makes it do that.)
edited to add: unstable proprietory software is the phrase I was looking for.

Um, no. One is made of tortilla chips topped with melted cheese and peppers, and the other is a casserole consisting of noodles cooked in a cheese sauce. The only thing they have in common is that they both contain cheese. But then, so do a lot of things.

Yes! That drives me crazy! Does anyone know the reason for that?

let me guess. If it was in the first place you looked you would keep looking?

It's true. I looked for that pizza for about half an hour, and finally found it in my underwear drawer.

I submit that Cheezits are actually the closest thing to Mac and cheese.
Say did you ever hear the joke about "not yo' cheese?"
So Porter, did you leave the pizza in the sock drawer or was it helped there by a youngster?
Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :
I think it was kidnapped (pizza-napped) by a band of hungry unwashed socks.
I never did trust those Argoyles.
