Meatball subs.


I wonder if anyone reads my wandering thoughts even.

I do. However I did misread that as Meatball sluts.

Meatball Sluts sounds like a good band name or a fucked up porno.

I found my "ten reasons to dislike the changes at TR that have nothing to do with misogyny" text and pasted it into the "we've renamed topless robot" post.  

Makes me feel better and since I know no one is looking at that page any more no one get's hurt feelings. (I hope)

rkwsuperstar wrote:I have a short tale and a question to ask you guys at the end of it.  You may remember way back when I said I had 2 flat tires in 2 days.  The tire guy said oh, the heat can cause cracks, etc.  Well, I have a spare tire on the back end of my car (it's an SUV) and the tire guy recommended I put a tire cover on it just to protect it.  Fine, I'll look for one, but with everything else going on and other things I needed to buy, including 2 new tires and new clips to re-attach my fender flare, a tire cover was low on my priority list.  Today, one of the guys I work with (we are not friends outside of work, and we really don't have conversations at work, he's a little weird and I don't want to get too familiar with him) asks me to come outside and look and something.  I do...and he's put a tire cover on my spare tire.  He says Happy Birthday, Boss and I bought it for your birthday (we share the same supervisor).  I said thank you, etc.  But I'm not really thankful.  I'm a little weirded out.  It's just a plain black cover, so it's not offensive or anything, but it's not what I would have picked out if I were buying it for myself, and even though I haven't been actively searching for one, I have been thinking about what kind of design, etc., I might be able to find, and now they've paid for one so I feel like I can't buy a new one...I also think it's weird that this guy participated in this purchase.  Now, my boss has bought me presents in the past-little things like a painted Wonder Woman wine glass, or a bottle of wine, like that.  But this other guy is a relative stranger beyond work.  So I'm weirded out that he paid for anything personal for me.  I feel like I should be more appreciative...and I am, of the thought behind it, but I kind of wish I could give it back.  What's your opinion?

I will keep it, I don't want to be rude when they obviously put some thought and effort into this, but I'm just curious if you think I'm wrong for being weirded out.

That's my hope, is that my boss asked him and he decided to pitch in.  I hope he doesn't have eyes on me to be Wife #4.

Well tomorrow I will make you a birthday thread. Assuming someone doesn't beat me to it.

It's a little strange since your not that close, but I wouldn't be to freaked about it. Maybe the boss recruited him to find one for you, and he pitched in as a way to get on the bosses good side. Or maybe he saw it as an opportunity to get to know you better, which you can shut down with a simple thanks and move on.
Either way you get a free cover, and even though it's not the one you may have picked, it was something you have been doing without, so spend the money on something for you.

When is your birthday?

Man, I totally fell behind on that show. Need t'catch up one'a these days.

Also, on last week's episode of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver said they were taking a two week break... which seems weird because that was the first episode after a two week break. I suppose it's better than going 4 weeks without a new episode.

It's still a great, so bad it's good, show.  

I've given up on Fear the Walking Dead.  and I'm at the "I'll have it on in the background" point of Z Nation.

I didn't like her last season but I'm really enjoying Missy from this seasons Doctor Who. She was also great in The Brink.
