Sleipnir isn’t a centaur. It’s a horse with eight legs.

I dated a girl who could recite pi to a hundred places.

There have been few things in my life more satisfying than being in a room full of generally smart, knowledgeable people, and being the only one who knows the answer to a trivia question. It’s happened a few times in my life, and usually it’s about mythology.

One time while scoring the round, the quizmaster was asking the questions aloud and letting the crowd shout back the correct answers. When it came to the Greek mythology question I was the only one who shouted, “Tartarus!” Someone in the back of the room shouted, “Nerd!” Later in the round he found me and apologized, but it didn’t bother me.

For my first baby shower we hired our quizmaster to host trivia. In the interest of fairness, our six person team was split across three of the teams. It ended in a three-way tie, and the tiebreaker was the name of Odin’s horse. It was Sleipnir, which means “Slippy”. Slippy the eight-legged horse. That one was especially satisfying.

The Highlander is an SUV and is thus unsafe to pedestrians and worse than a minivan according to this post.

Fair enough. But short beds notwithstanding, removing seats or using a roof rack hardly qualify as “doing everything trucks do and doing it better”.

I’d still rather use the truck. The original post is silly.

What about moving a mattress? Can’t fit that in a minivan, and that comes up all the damn time.

There are valid complaints in here, but most of it is nonsense. Trucks and SUVs are the only choice? What do you even mean by that? It’s way easier to get a regular car.

I live in Texas. I only know one person with a truck, and it’s used constantly. There’s something in the flatbed that wouldn’t fit in a van at least once or twice a month, I’d say.

Maybe it’s not about poop. Maybe “liquid ass” is what was “poured into them jeans”?

Let’s have a little optimism on the internet for once.

If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid.

To be fair, that’s kind of the point of the story. He’s a bit of a dick who needs to learn to do better.

Piano. Chopin, especially Raindrop.

If I said guitar, I’d point you to this song, which is actually a piano song performed on guitar. Lately this is the song that makes me feel things.

If something has no downvotes, I might second guess downvoting it. For example sometimes I downvote bad typos, but I usually won’t if the post doesn’t have any downvotes.

You already have a couple of downvotes…

So it sounds like you’re checking to see when the light turns off, to know that the car is going.

Sounds like what we actually need is a green accelerator light on the front of the car.

All babies look like actor Wallace Shawn. Any resemblance to their parents is overridden by their resemblance to Wallace Shawn and may be coincidental or imagined.

Seriously? People live their lives in those houses. They sleep, cook, decorate, throw parties, watch movies, raise children. Just because the outside isn’t non-conformist enough for your personal tastes, that’s not a home?

There’s something wrong with that perspective.

… or a neighbor who does something that actually reduces resale value in the neighborhood.

I started collecting Lego again.

… and running.

In my experience it still comes apart.

I wash with soap when I shower. Do you use soap with your bidet?

Toilet paper doesn’t stick when it’s not wet. It falls apart when it is wet.

Soap. In the shower I use soap.
