That's a great story.
Best family story I have is of "Stick Leg" Jaime. He lived back in the 1800's and had apparently lost a leg at some point and had a peg leg, hence the name. Well ol' Stick Leg Jaime turned out to be fond of the drink. Being that my family is primarily Scotch-Irish, this is no real surprise. The surprise is the extent to which Jaime drank. He would regularly be found face down in the gutter and finally, the community had enough of it. They hauled him in and he got Excommunicated from the PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. I didn't know that was even possible until I heard this story. I went to the Presbyterian Church Historical Center website to see what qualifies and it says: "This censure is to be inflicted only on account of gross crime or heresy, when the offender shows himself incorrigible and contumacious." (emphasis mine). He was such a bad drunk that they considered it a "gross crime or heresy." The kicker to this story is the person who turned him in to be excommunicated was his own son.
I am completely unable to verify this story, but this is essentially how it was told to me.

No, we're 10 episodes into the 2008 TV series.
To be fair, I was terraforming in Animal Crossing and only half watching. My island needs to be pretty.
WITH MY SPEAR AND MAGIC HELMET!It’s not just you. ATT, VZW, and T-Mobile are all shitting the bed today. Couldn’t even play Steam because it was experiencing 40% packet loss and 300ms ping times while YouTube videos would play just fine, which is just all kinds of upside-down.

TIL that one of the Youtubers I like (Marc Rebillet) who does Funk Music,
was the smart ass kid that traded his no. 1 spot at an Apple store for 800€ dollars to a woman who wanted to buy all the Iphones to resell em at ebay,
just for her to find out that is was 1 per customer.

All of the food trucks around here are mobile kitchens.
When I worked in DC, there was a website I'd go to that would let you know which food trucks would be on which streets at lunchtime. It was kind of nice to have different options every day without having to go too far from the building.
We have tons of these in the Phoenix metro area. Most of them are taco trucks, but there's this one truck...
Post automatically merged:
Judging by all the food truck festivals they have around here, both. You just need food and a truck.
See I knew someone else here has experienced these moving oases of ... food.
I just got a resume for someone applying to join my department. He's currently a professor at a prestigious university. He's previously served as the general manager of a moderately large company, worked a consultant to a couple of other moderately large companies, and had his own startup when he was younger.
This guy is suspiciously overqualified to be applying for a translation editor position.

Can't have that! If anyone around here is going to be Kevin Spacey from American Beauty, it's going to be me, dammit!
Now's your chance! Hire him and then train him to be the guy who does all your work while you run out to the casino every day or something.
