Is there anything worse than popping a pistachio in your mouth, cracking open the shell with your teeth, then biting into the nut & finding it's bad?

I swing both ways -- with pistachios. You definitely get a different flavor when you pop them shell & all in your mouth than when you extract the nut and discard the shell/husks. Lots more salt too (depending on the brand.) If I'm at home, I'll pull the shells apart and just eat the nut. If I'm driving I'll generally crack them open in my mouth (mostly to keep a hand free for steering) and keep a cup handy to spit the shells into. But the problem last night was a stubborn one that I couldn't crack by hand, so I let my teeth do the job of splitting it open...
Nasty surprise was waiting inside. :puke:

Family still in town. Going golfing instead of fishing tomorrow. Hell, next thing you know I'll stop wearing white after labor day and start eating with my elbows at my sides.

Looked up at the clock at work tonight, it said 5:05, quitting time is 5, and I said to myself I'm taking off early today. And I did. :D Home at a quarter to 6! I can't remember the last time I was home that early on a standard work day. :up:

Dudes' wearing kitty ears. Seems kind of redundant in a Miata (NTTAWWT).


On the way home from work today.

Any bets on whether Mr. Miata is also wearing a Shippo Tail along with his ears?

I was really worried about my hops fueled evacuations just now but then realized my lunch consisted of many freshly harvested asparagus spears and, well, hops. MuRrrrR

I love leaving the house early enough that the dew has yet to fall.

Where is my coffee?

I suddenly feel that my life won't be complete until I buy a car in Phoenix and stay at Kohler's place.

It's kinda breezy in South Dakota today. A friend posted this on Facebook; taken about 100 miles east of Rapid City on I-90. :shock:

And another one...

30mph sustained winds with gusts up to 50mph here today; I heard reports of 70mph gusts further west. Not a good day for high-profile vehicles.

He ate pussies and ass fucked cheerleaders and kept his house and all his guns. And all his friends and family thought he was fuckin cool as hell and he had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up ..... The end...

I just finished breaking in an engine on the dyno which was roughly akin to watching paint dry. Hooray Friday.

Being happily married and dad to four great kids, I could probably write an 'alternative' not-so-happy ending for Brian's fairy tale, but... Nah.
It's Friday. :banana: :alright: :banana: :alright: :banana: :alright: :banana: :alright: :banana: :alright: :banana: :alright: :banana: :alright: :banana: :alright: :banana: :alright:

I think tomorrow will be spent at the shooting range and make lots of once fired brass. Nothing beats the stress relief like a day at the range.
