My paternal grandfather was a lumberjack in Quebec. He spent most of his life in the bush cutting down trees. He never smoked, drank, handled chemicals or even ate processed foods. When he died he had cancer though 5 different organs and his brain. We could never figure out why he had it so bad. Now I know that it was the damn joke that did it.

Waiting for class to start, and i read humfrz baby story with projectile shit on an airplane. Audibly laughed out loud, emberassingly loud. Can confirm, probably was similar as baby.

Toilet paper invented 1857 (and cost $12 a pack of 500 and it had splinters in it)

Ok, now I have a whole roll of new questions.

To close the loop on the Volvo, official word came down, she's dead Jim.

It will be picked up on Monday. The good news is the payout is 123% of what we paid for the car 3 years ago, so I can't really complain.

Of course the math only works like that when you have an 18 year old car someone else assassinates for you I suspect.

Was going to copypasta that. But you got there first. Fuck my life.

In other news, I shaved 9 strokes off my round today compared to my round in Wednesday. Pretty pumped on that

Go get checked for a detached retina. If anything is torn you can get it fixed before the damage is permanent.

Yep, @ichitaka05 best get it checked out by an opthamologist.

A black eye could be the least of your worries.

We don't need no one eyed mods on the forum .....

Back-in-the-day, I got hit real hard in the eye by a fast, hardball pitch ...... never got it checked out ..... see how I turned out ...... I rest my case .....

For more info on the Lewis and Clark expedition you should probably just talk to @humfrz. . Pretty sure he was at least a Lieutenant at the time.
