    Class Action Park

    Went there several times as a yout. They had these sled things that went downhill on cement tracks. I weighed about 140 lbs back then and would still hit big air. There were always a few people at the bottom of the ride with gnarly bleeding scrapes. There was also some water ride that would shoot you out of a tube and drop 30 feet into a pond. People would hit the water wrong all the time, I could watch that for hours.

    Financial Geeks

    Depends on when you want access to your money. I have a money market account earning about 1.85% and a 1 year cd making 2.85% with capital 1. You can probably do a little better with other online banks, but I happen to like the capital 1 software.

    Tell us something stupid you did as a kid - preteen

    For whatever reason my teammates thought it was funny to fire bottle rockets at each other after practice. Had to stop when one got caught in someone’s shirt and he got burned (not too bad). Other dumb like biking down steep hills and going off jumps around boulders.

    Describe something from the "other side" that you agree with

    I think the current situation is a product of the primary system. Funding and nominations go to the most extreme candidates even if most folks would prefer someone more centrist.

    Omg IT is breeding. Which geek was this desperate?

    Well, she has the ‘eating for two’ part down.

    Quitting a job before getting another one

    Wait until you have another job. I would also be prepared to answer the question “Why are you looking for a new job?”. Complaining about extra hours probably isn’t a good selling point, I would go with something like the job wasn’t a good career fit, or you are ready for the next step in your career. Lastly, it’s better to run to something rather than from something. Spend some time thinking through what you want out of your next job and then work to make that happen. Also, have you spoken to your supervisor. Phrase it as you asking for help or advice rather than a series of complaints. You mentioned that you assume they will just tell you to work faster. I would at least give them a chance to help. If you are going to leave anyway what do you have to lose?

    Focking depressing

    Wait. Back up. A woman was killed by Dashunds. The weiner dog? How, was she attempting to eat them?

    Why college should not be free

    I think the dumbest idea is that college students should repay loans based on their income. Wait so you mean your philosophy of gender studies didn’t result in a paying job. Color me shocked.

    Stock Market Prediction: What do we hit first? 20k or 30k?

    That’s the thing with being a pessimist, eventually you’ll be right. The only problem is you can miss out on big gains in the meantime.

    See any more movies this week other than Star Wars?

    Just saw jumanji with the kids. Teenager didn’t like it, manly because she is a teenager. The 11 boy loved it. It was fine if you can stand Kevin Hart being Kevin Hart.

    Who was your favorite character from Cheers?

    Coach, he made up a song about Albania.
  15. Peanuts, gluten. Brought an assortment of donuts to school at my son’s school. Apparently one had some peanuts on it and that was roughly equivalent to a nuclear holicaust.

    You got that 'one food' ?

    Granola, great going in but then an intestinal hurricane

    Ah Damn, Higgins

    Damn, loved that show. Did they ever confirm that he was robin masters on the show? I remember hints and suspicions but nothing definite.

    Thor Ragnarok: Anyone watching?

    Just saw it, liked it a lot. I tend to like a bit of humor mixed in with my action flicks and that was this movie.

    Any geeks TSA prechecked?

    Pre-check is for domestic flights only, global entry is a little more cash but also covers international flights, especially awesome for getting through customs.

    How do you feel about your liquid savings?

    47, have probably 5 months pay in an emergency fund, but we have $4 saved for the kids college funds, so there's that.

    MLB 2017

    This is what I came to post. I know this is a baseball thread, but ditto for the capitals.

    It amazes me how many democrats

    Sanders would have a republican congress and wouldn't have been able to do much.
  25. Driving like doosh when I was 19. Speeding in the rain and I hit a puddle zipping around a curve. I think the puddle is 2 inches deep. Surprise, the car hydroplanes straight into the nearest telephone pole. Wraps both headlights around opposite sides of the pole. Only thing that saved was that I randomly decided to wear the seatbelt that day.
