What in the Sam Reich did I just watch? @gamechanger.dropout.tv

A Wichita police officer apparently was driving an armored car fast enough *down an alley* to snap a utility pole, knocking out power in the middle of July. The kicker is that the standoff they thought they were going to wasn't a standoff. The suspect wasn't even home.

This photo was taken less than a mile from the house I grew up in between the ages of 4 and 8, and less than 4.5 miles from where my parents lived at the time of the spill (and still live). They could smell it inside their house.

Estragon: Let's go! Vladimir: We can't. E: Why not? V: We're waiting for Mitch McConnell. E: Ah!

I know better than to engage, but people bitching about paywalls really irritates me. "But this is such an important civic issue." Well if it's so important, then maybe the person who spent 5.5 hours in the city council meeting and more time writing about it should get paid, fuckwad.

every time I see an Pirates stat it's like "Ryan O'Hearn did something that hasn't been done in the National League since 'High Pockets' Kelly of the 1924 New York Giants, as the Pirates defeated the Braves 12-4"

In order to avoid being chastised about speaking ill of the dead, allow me to repost this while he is still technically alive.

Belgium's first choice to be its initial king (in Eighteen-Thirty-One!) turned them down.

Today is that rare time when I am genuinely looking forward to leftovers for lunch. Finally tried a Thai/Thai-fusion takeout place on Saturday. The food was great, and the portions were huge (hence why I have enough leftovers for lunch).

"You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West." ...

Reminder that "better things are possible" doesn't have to exclusively come from charismatic young politicians. Old dorks are an important part of the coalition.

Tonight's episode of Dimension 20 is an immediate favorite. Zaeth and Koschei at the top of a bunch of great moments.

After my wife and I got back from our anniversary trip, we noticed Minnie was pulling out tufts of her hair. We took her to the vet, who found no sign of injury or illness. Probably a habit she started because she missed us. Gave her a shot in case it was an allergy.

This same episode included Will snapping at Uncle Phil with a "You're not my father!" Imagine being in the live studio audience for that episode?

Anytime I hear "Stuck in the Middle with You" by Stealers Wheel, I am taken back to when I was a Walmart cashier and would think of the Reservoir Dogs ear scene every time I heard it over the store speakers.

Attempted (for now, a victim is in critical condition) axe-murder spree in my town!? What the actual factual fuck?!

1990 TMNT narrowly beats Mystery Men

I generally agree with this sentiment, but for certain physical tasks, a visual really helps me. Photos to go with the written directions are usually better than a video. Car maintenance, plumbing fixes, cooking.

Saw the highest baseline gas price I've ever seen in person today

I just found that the only other full-time reporter at the paper is taking a different job. The only saving grace is that we'll have someone for the summer before this guy leaves.

Finally, after how many failed-to-mediocre attempts, I have succeeded in getting breading both to stick to meat cutlets and get good and crispy frying. Pork tenderloin sandwiches!

We took Pumpkin to the vet this morning, and she did so well. Didn't try to fight the vet or hide under anything.

Both my wife and I have been some degree of sick for more than two weeks now. Our dishwasher died on us. We can hear our fridge dying. And now our outdoor cat probably needs a trip to the veterinarian. All while work is horribly understaffed. I really need a break ASAP.

Our dishwasher finally died, and the compressor for our fridge is making highly suspicious noises. Looking for recommendations for both. I don't want either to need an internet connection, dumb appliances only.

Not a crazy funeral story, but the summer of 2008, I made the 1,100-mile drive back from Idaho for my grandma's funeral. The pastor was *brand new,* like he'd led no more than 2 Sunday services at the church. There was a reading that was a lot of "Surely this" and "Surely that."

The best food I've gotten at a ballgame in a *long* time was a quarter-pound hotdog last summer at a local college-age wood bat summer league game.

This photo would never reproduce on newsprint, but I have to share it.

I've done just over 1,000 miles -- 15 hours + pit stops -- in one day, solo, twice. From my hometown to Blackfoot, Idaho, where I was working at the time. Once after returning for my grandma's funeral, then after returning for a cousin's wedding (the first on that side of the family).

Pumpkin was sleeping in the window of the garage when we got home from grocery shopping. She woke up to pose for a photo.

I went to the local Department of Aging for an interview for an article today, and when I left I was a few minutes older than when I got there, so A+ for truth in naming.

Sure, I'll give this a go.

My wife and I are probably going to be looking at replacing a lot of our cookware in the not-too-distant future, and I really want to get stuff that will work really well and last a long time. So I'm looking for recommendations of specific pots and pans or sets.

I will forever remain convinced $4 gas played a way bigger role than the Iraq War in Dems winning a triad in 2008.
