The dresser was always pretty precariously placed. It had a flap down front and I had my Commodore 64 computer on it so it was front heavy already.

No “I can’t drive 55” from Sammy Hagar? This list is bogus.
Why exactly? Are you worried it will summon Christie Brinkley?
Freedom units? Dude, way to exclude 99% of the world. And these are vehicles, not just cars, of course a jet pilot can't fly 55.

With your wife in the passenger seat? It's very dangerous to summon supermodels!
If the list is open to all vehicles, shouldn't My Heart Will Go On be on the list?Freedom units? Dude, way to exclude 99% of the world. And these are vehicles, not just cars, of course a jet pilot can't fly 55.
...why you gotta do this to me.

(Context: When it's dead at work, our workforce team often offers VTOs: Volunteer Time Off, where we can go home early without pay.)
Team Chat
Co-worker: Me, waiting for a VTO. *finger tapping gif*
Me: They rarely give out VTOs on Saturday since few people work them. In other words, "YER GOIN' NOWHERE!" - Bonesaw, Spider-Man (*Bonesaw gif*)
Co-worker: LOL, and they just gave me one!
Me: That is so not fair! WHY DID BONESAW FAIL ME.

TIL Ellen Feiss, the "PC ate my paper" girl from the old apple commercials (it's been TWENTY YEARS)... well, turns out she must write some pretty good papers, because she got her PHD last year.
sorry you didnt get the pick Nick, I run a sales department and im always trying to figure out who I can let go home early this time of year. some people are happy to take it and others are ticked, and it seems to shift from day to day. anyways hope you get that time off when you want it.
I think it goes in order of who started their shift. My co-worker, for example, started much earlier than me today. I PROBABLY won't be offered a VTO today because there aren't many other working.
Due to my son misunderstanding the radio dj, he was temporarily excited, then subsequently disappointed, to learn there isn't a band called Mario Speedwagon. I, on the other hand, was looking forward to their hits, "Can't Fight This Freezie", "Take It On the (Speed) Run", and "Keep On Loving Lu...igi".

One of the best things I love about @That best friend is her humor. I never know what she'll say next.
For example:
Me: That kinda looks like a bird of prey.
Her: What, like a seagull?
Me: ...a seagull isn't a bird of prey.
Her: A mussel doesn't know that! A mollusk doesn't know that! A small child with a French fry doesn't know that!

"How to contradict yourself in two sentences, by Encyclopedia Brittanica". Either they're all birds pursuing other animals for food (in which case swallows, seagulls, etc are all birds of prey) or they're just the falcon and owl families, in which case they aren't. Gulls definitely pursue other animals for food
The falconiformes/accipitriformes separation is fairly new, though, I remember when it happened.
What kind of bird of prey is Big Bird?
Protestant.
Vor'Cha, I think. Might be Negh'Var depending on the era.

Yeah, I think to be considered a bird of prey, it has to be a taloned raptor. Just about every animal is an opportunistic carnivore, but this term is particular to those that primarily feed by hunting from the sky and seizing and carrying off their prey in talons. Wikipedia says piscivores (such as seagulls) and insectivores are specifically excluded.
Funny enough, the thing I thought that looked like a bird or prey? It was the way she positioned the billiard balls when we were playing pool. And I actually meant a Klingon bird of prey. She took it another way. 
Unfortunately, after much deliberation I have come to the conclusion that, by human standards, a seagull is not a bird of prey.View attachment 43940

Hawks are by definition birds of prey, and although seagulls share a phylum, they also share it with hummingbirds and penguins.
I just can’t accept, as a human at the top of the food chain, that seagulls and hummingbirds are birds of prey.
Although I do stand by, a mussel or mollusk would view that seagull as a threat.
