My example was a bit extreme but some folks shared a poem about the Deer Park fire in Texas, which I thought was rather strange.

I don't understand why some people have a hard time with workers leaving a job site so that the worker doesn't have a heat exhaustion/heat stroke episode.
yeah no.

Because bosses can be real scumbags.

Putting old comics in plastic bags. When I buy them, I take them out of the bag and board, and throw that s**t out.
I just stack 'em so when my grandson comes over he can sort threw them and read whatever he want's.
Or me. I don't treat them with surgical gloves.  :lookingup:
I din't buy them for nothing. I read them.

I remember hanging out at my comic shop years ago, a kid came in and bought the first issue of whatever new piece of s*** gimmick book was hot that week, and bought one of those super tough bullet proof "Mylar" plastic bag to store it in. When he left the guy behind the counter chuckled and said to me "The bag is worth more than the book in it."

I don't get why my local classic rock radio station plays Men At Work's "Down Under" so often.
Nothin' against Men At Work, they were a fine pop band, but they did not "rock" by any means, then or now.

Agreed, a lot of these radio stations have odd views on what classic rock is.

The classic rock station here rarely plays anything pre 80s. So much glam stuff that I really don't like. :lookingup:
yeah no.

I was tempted last night to add Overkill to my list on the "What have you been listening to" thread, just because they were famous for one or two other songs...

I used to love Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top, but when I lived in Houston, it was played so frequently, that it became the one ZZ Top song I can't stomach anymore.

:smile: As a matter of fact, I do! :smile:
I liked ZZ top well before I moved to Houston, & still do, It's just that Sharp Dressed Man the city's unofficial anthem, and was played with nauseating frequency when I lived there....

Why people eat food so disgusting it's enough to gag a maggot. Like tripe, head cheese, and mountain oysters.

You could add lamb's eyes and haggis to the disgusting list...
