Comments That Don't Warrant A Thread

It is easier to have one ticket type than having employees have to pay attention and choose the "right" ticket.


The part I hate about it is the look of disgust when I leave $0.00 as the tip as if I'm stealing from them because the at entitled to be given something.

Anyone know who to call if a railroad spike has worked its way up at the crossing by railroad park in Ruston. Someone is going to kill a tire there.

Why do people want big crawfish? The amount of meat in the tail of a very big crawfish is not much more than in a smaller crawfish. Those smaller crawfish have a much higher count per pound than the large ones.

And the bigger ones seem to have less flavor to me.

i would bet the big ones have nearly twice the meat of the typical-sized ones. if they are no more than twice the weight, then advantage: big ones. the lower count means you get the same amount of meat with less work. i will agree, however, that they seem to absorb less flavor from the boil -- not sure why that happens.

I love to hear a talking head say "statue" of limitations.

I posted it for you. It was probably the easiest lob of a softball in this entire thread.

This morning I heard a talking head say, "He is a idiot!"

I've always thought this particular talking head was bordering on being an idiot.

Who is Drake, what does he do, and why should I care?

Speaking of Statue. Since they're going to take Andy off the $20 bill will they remove his statue on Jackson Square and call it Tubman Square? After all didn't Harriet save New Orleans from the British?

He is still going to be on the bill, just on the back.

Andrew Jackson doesnt want to be on a centralized bank note.

sometimes i accidentally squeeze too hard when i shake someone's hand. i'm not sure how that makes someone feel who i've just met.

I would rather a good, firm, or maybe too firm handshake over a vigorous flamboyant shake I get some of the time.

Four years ago we didn't have Greg Goff in the coaches box -

As much as I admired what Mike White did for our program in making it relevant again, he was not the proven winner than Goff is at all levels

Goff is probably the most sound HC on our campus - with both him and Mark Montgomery in softball, we have our spring sports in great shape at the top

People lose their minds behind the wheel between Mill St and Well Rd in West Monroe on I-20. Wrecks there every 3-4 days. Maybe a new driving instructor is needed somewhere?

Drivers slow down to allow traffic to merge from Mill Street then the right west bound lane keeps slowing down even more due to traffic taking the Thomas exit. People DO NOT know how to merge into traffic or how to allow traffic to merge. Slamming on breaks when going 60+ mph should not be part of the deal but it is.

My children loved me as a driving instructor. I was consistent in telling them to floor it as soon as the hit the on ramp. People apparently don't understand basic laws of physics. It is never a good idea to try to move into traffic that is moving between 60 and 75... While you are doing 25.

Crazy how many guys walk out of a public restroom without washing their hands.

How do the zombies on tv & movies always manage to keep their clothes on? You'd think they'd eventually get their clothes snagged on a branch or something ...

It's not that I want to see naked zombies. You just think there'd be more.

Also, why don't any wild animals ever attack the zombies? Predators and scavengers consume carrion everyday. And in a battle between a single zombie and a puma (or even a flock of buzzards), I think the animal(s) would have the advantage.

maybe the animals turn into zombies before they finish their meal?

when i was typing "maybe" just now, my right hand was out of position and i typed ",aube" instead. reminded me of aubunique. haven't seen anything from him in a while...

Thank you state of Louisiana. Got a $30.05 tax refund from 2008. Better late the never!

Love it when the server in a restaurant comes by the table in latex gloves and offers to refill drinks. Only problem is that she held them against her chest as she walked to the counter. Nice try, but I bet that's not quite the idea.

Doing sunflower seeds a little, but the salt can't be much better for me than the nicotine was. I've got to get a handle on the weight gain issue. Even though I feel better, I've gained a few in the last few weeks.

My grandfather was a smoker until the 60s or 70s. He worked shifts, and he got home after a 3-11 one night, out of cigarettes. There were no 24-hour convenience stores at that time and place, and his craving kept him up all night. True to his character, instead of buying cigs when the shops opened, he got pissed! He was NOT going to let something have that much control over him!

Unfortunately, he switched to chewing tobacco, which eventually led to the throat cancer that killed him at a fairly young (considering his otherwise good health and activity level) age of 77.

Several years ago I forgot my snuff going to the duck blind and I was the only dipper in the group. I walked back to the four wheeler, rode to the camp, and got my snuff. Missed the first hour of shooting time. The stuff I had to walk through to get in and out of the blind was undescribable. 6" of water and 30" of mud. It was tough! I got my nicotine fix though.:o

Yowser.

I'm listening to a band called The Naked and Famous on spotify while I work. Their sound is kind of an electronic pop thing. Not bad, don't know a ton about them, only know a couple of their songs.

Apparently they have a song titled "Spank." I have no idea what the lyrical content is to this song because of the style of music and the fact that I'm listening at work with the volume down.

For a fleeting moment I actually considered trying to google the lyrics.

Then I considered what that search would consist of and how much I like my job.

Wonder if the TAMU chat rooms are blowing up with fans griping that their stands were never full tonight and they began to empty with the game still up in the air in the 3rd quarter. Can't believe all 103,000+ seats weren't filled.

High school educators who don't understand or give validity to the Electorial College and can't grasp the fact that we are a Republic and not a Democracy....

the "just in" prefix for thread titles should expire after 5 days.

I got in my son's vehicle last weekend for a quick trip to the store. When I got in I heard a "clicking" noise that sounded like it was related to the drive train or trans mission in some way. Later in the day my wife helped me as we would take turns driving slowly while the other would try to find exactly where the noise was coming from. She finally saw "something hanging down underneath". I asked "where?"... She replied, "The round thing in the middle"... I asked, "The drive shaft?"

Some my son's "friends" went to the trouble of crawling underneath the vehicle and putting a couple of very long wire ties around the drive shaft. This may be a common practical joke, but it was a first for me. As usual the joke was on Daddy and not my son.

I'm sitting here while a very thorough inspection is being done on a house we're trying to buy (our first to buy). It's an interesting feeling. Kinda like someone else taking a test where you're very invested in the outcome. Maybe similar to your kids taking the SAT.

just remember this house is not your kid. you can throw it out if it fails (may be a good idea for a kid that fails the SAT, come to think of it). texastina and i made the mistake of getting too emotionally attached to a house before the inspection once, and didn't back out when we should have.

Good point. Fortunately the inspectors said it's in great shape and seems to have been well taken care of. They were extremely positive about foundation situation and roof. Around here, foundation issues are brutal, so that was good news.

Not worthy of its own thread, but here's former Tech assistant, Steve Forbes, trying to rally his troops at East Tennessee. They were only down by one at halftime, but they eventually lost 80-65.

Good job! Congratulations!

I read that we were supposed to have a home and home w/ BYU a few years ago but it got postponed. Is it still "TBA" or did they officially cancel it? Would be a solid opponent.

It was a one time offer from BYU with one game being in 2012. Our HC nixed the series.

Damn we've got some dumbass people roaming the streets -

...yep, they would have been eaten alive in dinosaur times!

Went to Philadelphia for the week and got to check off seeing the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall's Assembly Room, and Congress Hall. Very awesome to be in the room where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were written/signed and where Washington and Adams were inaugurated.

It seems everything worth going to closes at 5pm which sucked because it is hard to make it to anything when you're not done working until 4:30pm. Also, Rittenhouse Square smells like a sewer. The whole area. It gets better when you get to the hospitals towards Washington Square.

And Philly reinforced my hatred for independent (non-chain) hotels.

Discussing Louisiana culture with a friend of mine (in Arkansas) and he mentioned that he'd driven through NO many years ago, got lost in a bad part of town (so, New Orleans), and saw a city sign with the motto (dunno when this was) "Thou Shalt Not Kill." He said "A city that needed to put up that sign wasn't a place I wanted to stay for long."

This may be the best one since Pee-pie the pig...

A Monroe man is facing multiple charges after an alleged altercation at St. Francis.
According to an arrest report for Logan Horn, age 30, Jackson Street, officers were dispatched to St. Francis regarding a disturbance early Wednesday morning.
When officers arrived, employees told them Horn grabbed a flashlight off of the wall and a cup of urine before stating, "Let's get it on."
An employee said she asked Horn what he was doing with the flashlight, and Horn said, "I'm going to use it as a weapon."
Both employees said they felt threatened when Horn talked about fighting them.
A worker also told officers Horn damaged the flashlight by throwing it down.
Horn was booked into Ouachita Correctional Center on two counts of aggravated assault and one count of simple criminal damage to property.
Total bail has not been set.

ahem … Pee-pie. RIP.

I think I am done with any thread that doesn’t pertain to Tech athletics.
