AH JEEZE.  Can't I just put out one of those traps with the rope on the floor and hope I catch something?  Not actively hunting?

I can help! *grabs elaborate H trap from closet*

NNNNNOOOOO.  AN ELABORATE TRAP.  WHYYYYHUDW/

Another morning, another flagel.  Time to plan out my weekend because I've been forced into being sociable.

It is the worst thing in the world.

She only buys premium turkey bacon for them.

This has been bugging me since I saw it yesterday. People think the term premium can apply to turkey bacon and retain any meaning?

I've been wondering what part of the turkey the bacon comes from.

Turkey bacon comes from the neck

It's a marketing gimmick. In this case "premium" doesn't actually mean anything, but it gives the buyers some semblance of justification for purchasing something that's otherwise utterly horrendous. And it gives the seller a reason to charge more for it.

The garbage. It's where it comes from, and where it should return to.

Engineering put to good use. 10/10 would buy (and modify to replace glitter with liquid dye or ball point pen ink)

^^^ Really glad my front porch is shielded from view from the street.

Well, at least now I know I'm not the only one who wastes time on Reddit.

Is it bad that if I'm ordering anything that can't get delivered to my workplace, I just have it sent to my parents?  They're old, and retired, and don't mind me driving out an hour to see them just to pick up packages.  Plus, sometimes i get corned beef out of it, which is always a plus. 

 

[MA_PE]

I'll bet your parents think it's great!

we used to send stuff to work but I think with the amazon shipping when its not UPS / FED EX / UPS there are lots of issues we have with the packages getting sent to the wrong office within our building, (when its some dude in an 1983 ford escort delivering packages) most of the time we eventually get them but this year we used those lockers inside whole foods that amazon ships to for free. Note at no time did we shop or buy anything at whole foods, although I did step on some gluten free bread that was stacked up next to the amazon lockers..

 

[Audi Driver P.E.]

I read that as you buy a lot from whole foods.

 

[Master slacker]

At least grab a freebie juice box or snack bar when you go into Whole Foods.

 

[Road Guy]

They did have the best decorated ginger bread house I have ever seen in person, probably done by the cashier with his degree in art history

 

[JayKay PE]

I'm feeling a lot of hostility for Whole Foods here, and it, seriously, brought a tear to my eye.
