They just opened up the vaccine line to a slew of industries this week from what I heard this morning. Hopefully we can all move on to some normalcy very soon.Quote:

You misinterpreted what he said. He wasn’t incorrectly saying “EVER loyal be”, he was correctly saying “every loyal BEE”. Bees a matriarchal society and they must be loyal to the queen. He was giving you a free entomology lesson, you should feel lucky.Quote:

In basketball.....score the basketball(isn’t that the point?)
We don’t say a running back is a great runner of the football, do we?
Do we say Usain Bolt is a great runner of the track?
As someone who plays - I get the striker reference...Quote:

All 5 mentioned are considered HOFers and 4 of the 5 are major winners - i.e. great players - but not all are great "strikers" of the ball
When you break it down like that, I get it. Hitting it squarely seems like a good enough description.
Card readers and key pads at gas pumps that don't work.
"Please see attendant" I would not be here if I wanted to see/speak to an attendant.
Related note. I don't like the way they seem to be changing how card readers work. It's generally been push your card in and out quickly. They've basically trained me to do it that way. Now several want you to push the card in and leave it. Then only pull it out when you've answered all their questions. The one at Sam's yesterday actually grabbed hold of the card and held it, only releasing it after the transaction was done.Quote:

Just an FYI... If you're at a pump that plays commercials or music while you're pumping gas, you can mute the sound. There is a row of four buttons on either side of the monitor. Normally, you can hit the second one down on the right side to mute. At least it works on the pumps I use. If the second one doesn't work, try the third one. :)Quote:

Something else to touch at the pumps.:DQuote:

When people say "every since" in an attempt to speak properly.
