Stupid **** that pops into my head

ShawnOL

Just got an email from ccom offering 10% off site-wide. The fine print said exclusions apply. This is the list of brands that are excluded.

That's a hefty list. Wouldn't it have been easier to just list the few brands NOT excluded?

Rdp77

I’m actually surprised to not see Fuente on that list.

and THAT ^^^ is why I don't pay any attention to those 10% off "offers" anymore. What good is 10% off, if nothing that it applies to is anything I want?

I do see that Gurkha's will still be available for discount.

I guess we should tell @peter4jc , I'm sure he's always in the market for a Gurkha discount.

peter4jc

A 10% discount isn't even worth looking at. They have to try harder than that to get my $$$.

Amos_Umwhat

Oh, not enough? Well, better luck next time.

Why do I have more bad luck on a Thursday the 13th than a Friday the 13th?

And an even more compelling question; what's the difference between this thread and the Thought Pool thread?

And yet one more... can you imagine yourself involved in such inane inquiries in your golden years?

Yakster

In college, we would plan parties for Friday the 13th, so it was something I would look forward to. I always seemed to have bad luck on Friday the 31st, dyslexic luck I guess.

I think it's funny that @Yakster still has @Bob_Luken as his profile picture

It's taken me this long to get used to it,.... not think about it.
Hey! Maybe next year I can get him to recreate this photo with him as the subject, and I'll use it for my avatar.

No.

ShawnOL

Why is it beheaded and not deheaded?

Who was the first to say, in the slag context, “Does the carpet match the drapes?”

Yakster

Some say the 1970 movie MAS*H where a bet about whether Hot Lips carpet matches her drapes lead to the famous shower scene, which does nothing to answer the question.

Lavender scented sardines! That's the ticket. We'll make MILLIONS!!

TheKraken

I read this "Efeithal" - eff it all.

Thought that was pretty clever, then just realized that I can't read

ShawnOL

I wonder how they judge a tie in a horse race when two horses cross the finish line nose and nose. Do they then look at the position of the horse's front feet?

Yakster

It becomes a dead heat and is judged to be a tie.

An extremely rare photo finish triple dead heat, recorded in a 1953 harness race at New Jersey's Freehold Raceway

ShawnOL

Do they split the prize money, Chris? Do they gather an asterisk * in their record book?

Yakster

The prize money is split by the number of horses tied in the dead heat, according to Google results. I don't know about the record book entries.

ShawnOL

Interesting, thanks, Chris.

When we make pizza, wouldn't putting the cheese directly on the crust keep it from sliding off, burning your chin?

So put the cheese, then sauce, then pepperoni?

@VegasFrank Frank, you still add your pineapple last. 🤣🤣

Pineapple + pizza ≠ food

It's salt, fresh garlic, basil, sundried tomatoes, Jalapeño chili, with sausage followed by mushrooms, oil cured olives, onion, then parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. In that order. Sometimes anchovies.

You had me until the anchovies.

Only sometimes.

I’ve always wanted to try it with anchovies but haven’t been brave enough
