So I just witnessed a clean red wingless MKIV Supra twist, grind, and bend its front bumper and underpanels against a parking stop trying to pull out of the parking spot. The sight and sound of the bumper scraping made me

. Driver was an old dude. I felt sorry for him and still gave him a thumbs up when I saw him exiting from the parking lot.

Anyhoo, I'd say 1/4th to a 1/3rd of my graduating class are either:

-Having kids
-Already had kids
-Getting married
-Already married

Meanwhile, I'm here pondering why I put so much veggie oil in my fried rice.

Alapca's are way more fun where they dont belong

Phone calls have reached a whole new level of creepy this past week. Both my wife and I received calls from "people" that actually turned out to be robocalls. What was different was that the computer not only sounded like a person, but responded interactively in a way that was very convincing.

These were both fundraising calls; as soon as the words "I'm not interested" came out of our mouths, the call was ended abruptly. Frankly, it was spooky how well these robocalls mimicked actual humans.

If Arnold Schwarzenegger calls, I plan to slam down the phone and head for the hills!

Fun fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger's father was the police chief of Graz. When Arnold became the Governator of California, he was the chief executive of a state whose population greatly exceeded that of his home country of Austria.

This tax return is much larger than the past 6 (when I started working) combined. By about 4.5x

If I didn't have a car loan that I'm aggressively paying off...

I would much rather receive an interest free loan from the IRS than to give them one.

@Tcoat

I saw this on Facebook and thought of you/your profile picture.

I graduated in 2012, and while I do fall into one of those categories (just got engaged a week or so ago) it never ceases to amaze me how many people in my class have [illegitimate] children or have already been married. This will come off as hypocritical I'm sure, but we're young... Why tie yourself down so fast?

Also, I want fried rice now. It's great for lunch at work, but I can never seen to find a good way to microwave it. The oil always seems to sink to the bottom of the container.

Which he probably took as sarcasm and he will now hunt you down and kill you in your sleep.
