It's gotta have the signature fisherman's hat with the three flaps.Coworker let another crew use our mini bobcat so a little while later we get a text from the boss "it's not turning right or left, belches out black smoke then dies, wtf!" coworker texts back "did they try the throttle?" boss replies "Yeah, never mind" I'll bet lunch for a week that Big (Slow) Pete was involved.we need some stats for Big (Slow) Pete. He is the PERFECT NPC.

I'm exhausted! Still got a lot of s~*! to do.
I blame pants for my day, everything went downhill as soon as I decided I didn't have to do laundry, I can always wear pants instead of shorts!
Turns out they inhibit my awesomeness.
Never again!

It's sad. Once you stop wearing jeans for a while, you forget just how binding they are.
I can't stand wearing jeans any more. If you see me out and about at places where fish pants are verboten, you'll more likely see me in cotton slacks than in jeans. Jeans just inhibit my movement too much.
It wasn't jeans, my cargo pants.
ALL pants are to blame.
This is the police 2 is out. I highly recommend the precursor for the impii, as this is a game similar to prison architect, which I believe they enjoyed, but is considerably more complex. It is a visual novel, strategy game, and simulation all in one. Check it out.
Me? I'll get Valkyria Chronicles 4 when I get paid next week.

Congratulations VE! Hopefully you get the thumbs up soon! And I've given up on pockets after a little kid tugged at my bermudas and nearly pulled them(weighed with my wallet) off.
was the kid black? Did he have a flat top? Did he smile cheerfully as he did so? If so then I am sorry, that was me as a little boy.
Confirmed japanese language in the game, potentially with french subtitles? If so I will learn how to speak French to avoid the sheer horror of english cast.
Japanese language with english text confirmed. Now to use all my willpower to wait a week.

Well, three kinds of laxative, three kinds of enemas, and one kind of suppository has failed. So they are going to put a tube down my throat, vacuum me out, and then fill me with more laxative. It sounds awful, but at this point I would cut my own self open to eat again.
...That sounds like I would eat my own poo, which is unfortunate phrasing, but I need something to laugh at so I'm leaving it there.
*Looks a bit apprehensive, and hopes for improvement*
Update: The attending gastro doctor changed her mind, and just put me on more laxative. Apparently today's x-ray shows improvement, though I don't know how, so she doesn't think drastic measures are justified. And my nurse emphasized to me just how horrible an NG tube is, so I didn't argue.
*Lightens up a bit and gives TS a reassuring pat*

Why NobodysHome is Going to Hell:
NobodysWife : I wish they were whiter.
NobodysHome: As the Klansman said about his daughter's first date...
EDIT: Yeah, I was sent to my room for that one...

I had to stop by the gas station on the way home to pick up a jerry can and a couple of gallons of gas for our new lawnmower.
I own a freaking lawnmower.
It was $30 on Craigslist, it's probably older than I am and it looks like it belongs in Leatherface's garage, but it's mine. And tomorrow I'm going to mow ALL THE GRASS AND WEEDS so my neighbors stop complaining.
Plus, I can't in good conscience put up a "Beto" yard sign if my yard makes me look like a serial killer.

My daily bit of inappropriate:
We were picking up the kids from Grandma's after their weekly dinner with her tonight, and some neighbors walked up, and she's re-introducing me. In the middle of which, she stops to sing them the "crossing the street" song. (She's a crazy old southern lady version of Mister Ray from Finding Nemo, she has weird little songs for washing hands, crossing the street, everything.)
And as she got to the verse about "stop, look, and listen", I said to the neighbors, "That's where I always get confused; I try to stop drop and roll instead and when you do it in the middle of the street, people look at you funny."
The neighbor lady howled. Thank goodness my mother-in-law is deaf and couldn't hear me.

I live in Brooklyn. I do not have a lawn. But i dont understand what business it is of anyone's whether or not you mow it. That just sounds dumb to me.
Finally beat the monster hunt with Crowley! That leaves only.....ugh, Toki.
All the RNG effects are the only issue I have with Hearthstone, why must one of the four wild hunt heroes be all about the RNG effects?!
*sigh*
I will still beat the monster hunt with you Toki, despite your obnoxious cards and irritating hero power!

I was going to suggest a scythe, but that wouldn't help with the whole 'not wanting to look like a serial killer' thing. I found a couple in Lancashire, and would have bought one had I any way of getting it home on the train without getting thrown off and/or arrested...

Most cities have ordinances so the lawn doesn't grow too tall.

Hmm, a high of 55 today, but it's already 54, at 6 am.

I don't understand, what would leggings be if not pants?But they dont have pockets?Many of them do! They are glorious indeed!
Also, while pockets are wonderful and amazing things, their presence is not required for something to be considered pants, e.g. women’s dress pants. Harder to find a pair of those with pockets than a pair of leggings with pockets....
Pockets are the best!
I'm cleaning up after coworker today and finishing our job, coworker is at an uncle's funeral I guess.
I'm trying to find things that don't exist, and eating stew.
I'm doing an internal handoff, then prepping for my next project.
I'm prepping my monthly reports, making lunch, and then going home to sleep. Have a game tomorrow and nycc next week.

People keep telling me I'll get used to Windows 10.
Instead, it seems like every week I find a new reason to hate it.
This week was a twofer:
(1) The aforementioned, "We've combined your hardware and software mute buttons without telling you! Enjoy!" that bit me yesterday.
(2) This morning I was printing my payslip (what can I say? I'm old. I keep 10 years of records on everything). I have been printing docs on Windows for 20+ years now, thanks. So when I say, "I could not find a 2-sided option anywhere", please believe that for my particular printer, there was no 2-sided option. So my 2-page payslip ended up taking 2 pages of paper.
Seriously, Microsoft? Your "latest-n-greatest OS" is making me long for the 90s?
(I'm sure if I take a few minutes I'll find the 2-sided option. But the fact that I have to do a thorough search of every configuration option just to print duplex is downright pathetic.)
EDIT: Nope. I'm wrong. MS's driver for my printer just has no 2-sided option. Wow, Microsoft. Just... wow...
Yeah, I know it's supposedly the printer manufacturer who's providing the driver, but considering on EVERY OTHER COMPUTER, including my Windows 7 machine, the 2-sided option is there, it's hard to believe the printer manufacturer would say, "Nah, let's not do this on Windows 10 for, er, reasons..."

I bought a Chromebook because I don't know Linux and Microsoft (and Apple) will never get more of my money if I can help it. After a red ring of death, a disc tray error, and an error where it couldn't read any games from 3 seperate X-Boxes owned by me (two were gifts), I swore off Microsoft forever. If their software is even twice as good as their softwarw it's still a pile of hot garbage. (Apple is just too expensive for it's quality. Sure it's like 25% better but at 100% more cost. F*~# that.)
Microsoft is about as impressive to me as a micro-soft penis is to a heterosexual woman.

Yeah. Unless the printer model you have is 'old' and the manufacturer wants to push you to a newer model. Nothing like a windows version update to 'help' costumers along to a new, 'better' printer. At a 'competative' cost of course.

"Water Only! Don't drink! May contain microscopic society bent on world domination"
First winter-like day since July (overcast, 53° F, with a predicted high of 64° F (yeah, that's our 'winter')), so all the windows and curtains are closed up because I don't want to turn on the heat 'til November.
We'll see whether I get there.

Just bought it last year, so I think it's just M$ being a$$hats again.
Trouble is, at work I'm stuck on Windows. All our development is in Word and PowerPoint (with lots of templates and macros just to be sure alternatives such as OpenOffice aren't an option), and trust me, you don't want to be on an Apple using THOSE.

In Science of Discworld 2, you learn that everything in Ankh-Morpork has "*may contain nuts" printed on it, because, according to the wizards, you can't actually prove there isn't, on some other ethereal plane of existence, some nuts within the container.

{in Narrator voice:} The city of Seamonkeytownsville. A city that, while being a city, is for some inexplicable reason called "Town." And not only is it called a "Town," but also a "Ville," thus making it a city, town, and village, which seems to me to be redundant and repetitive, which can be quite annoying if you ask me, which you have no choice but to do, for now I, Mojo Jojo, am in charge of... the city of Seamonkeytownsville!

You have no idea how much land you actually have until you try to mow it when the weeds are thigh-high and the grass is wet.
I hate St. Augustine grass.
I also hate it when Whingey Wizzard is right. I tried to convince him to buy me an old-fashioned push-reel mower instead of a gas one because I thought I wouldn't get enough of a workout with a gasoline-powered mower.
After three and a half hours, I can say that I was wrong.
Yeah, I know; Cap could have done it in under an hour and could have edged around the telephone poles and trees better.
Whatever.
I'm going to the fair now and I'm going to get something ridiculous deep-fried and a Shiner Bock. And I'm going to go through every livestock, quilt, and dahlia exhibition and ride the ferris wheel. And we're going to stay for the illuminated parade and the fireworks.

My favorite status report line yet:
- Received another Camtasia license
So, year after year, someone in power objects to my having a Camtasia license, and insists that they're going to take it away from me. I dare them to, and sign anything they send me.
We thought I was finally done in about 2016 when a VP got involved.
Nope. Last week I got yet another, "Congratulations on your new Camtasia license" e-mail.
One of these days I might even get uppity and install the stupid thing...
