Rare spot… They only use these tires for qualifying

An Edward Gorey drawing showing a morose looking black bird on a branch. He (and this feels very much like a he) is pointing downwards with one scraggly wing, and looking straight ahead with debt-filled eyes. His beak is long and sharp, like winter on the Great Plains. He is pointing with his right wing, but this means he is pointing to your left. Your wicked, sinister side. This is no accident. The Bird makes no such mistakes. But he is talking, and the text tells us that he is saying, "Beware of this and that."  

Honestly, you feel his message in your bones.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

this doesn't even feel like a job that exists at a livable wage anymore, much less for $250K

it's all been downhill since Starbucks discontinued the mocha coconut frappuccino, TBH

Raymond Skiles EDIT: Many ask how to help. I believe the Governor of Texas is best positioned to make a difference - If enough Texans ask. 800.843.5789. More contacts, Texan or not:...

Simply disgraceful. Landowners around Big Bend are still getting letters from CBP asking to take their land despite the presence of historical artifacts and despite the fact that huge canyons and other barriers make a natural "wall." Those lands need protection, too: www.facebook.com/raymond.skil...

I do not like potatoes on pizza, either. There's a pizza joint that we sometimes order from at work that sneaks the damn things onto their specialty pies and absolutely not, I do not like that.

Oof, that's a harder one to find. I thought I lost a socket a while ago, though, only for it to drop out from under the 944 when we swapped the clutch. MY PRODIGAL SOCKET SON RETURNED HOME.

really fitting that TCU has a player named Bielefeld because I wish this flipper-spec grey basketball court did not exist

Mulk was an awful person too her players, but good grief, I'm glad our One Good Sport era was played on a normal wood court. Who wants this???! Chip and Jo?!!? BAYLOR ISN'T PLAYING THIS GAME.

Holy crap, it's even worse.

I was going to chalk it up to a cunning plot on TCU's part to depress the hell out of competing teams, but no! The conference did this! WILLINGLY!

I post some solid 5/5s, though. Let me focus on some beautifully designed liner tile or a big ol' mosaic while I'm losing World War P.

I love malt vinegar, but it's not enough on its own to make up for thick-cut "steak fries"-style potatoes. I gotta have a thinner cut (I love shoestrings and curlies) with a thicker, well-seasoned fry coating for fries to be worth a malt-vinegar-only treatment.

good grief, TCU's basketball court looks like every cheap ghoul's idea of an ""update"" that serves as a giant red flag that the toilet's gonna leak when looking at a new place

embarrassing

bad-landlord-ass flipper court

Bless your hearts, that's all I've got.
