Go Gamecocks!!

That thing would never fly here. I think I'll look up its top speed.

@scottalanmiller said in Cars I Spot on the Road:

These are super cool and I see them regularly. I really want one.

You see that REGULARLY???

Post them up!!! Can be anything. I saw an H1 Hummer the other day. Not exactly rare, but interesting to see one. The funny part is they really aren't as big as they seem. I think a Toyota Highlander or Tundra is bigger.

For reasons that are completely lost on me, the area that I live has a lot of cool and unusual cars. So, I figured I will start a thread on what I see and post them when I do. I'll try to get pics, but if I'm driving...well, Google is your friend

This morning was a Buick Reatta. Anyone remember these? I think they were the first production car to have a touch screen interface. That's about all it was famous for. Rare to see one.

Good band. Played the hell out of those first 2 records. Singing their songs in Rock Band was tough!

I wish I knew how to draw. Had a cool idea for a cartoon but I can't bring it to life.

Is either company hiring janitorial staff? Actively looking

You'd prefer to be a janitor? How messed up is your job?

Short answer: IT isn't for me anymore. Not exactly specific to my current job

Not to hijack but if I wasn't doing IT I would totally go back to being a forklift operator. Working for the Miller Brewing Company was some of the best years of my life.

Seeing that I have been working for a company that all they had was a tight budget, I would like to see it on the other side of the fence for a while.

Movie "Raw" will include barf bags in theaters

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/la-theater-provides-barf-bags-cannibal-movie-raw-987788

Seeing that the movie grossed a whole $78,000 I would say either

A. The movie sucks so bad you NEED it. Or (more probable)
B. It's a stunt to get more $$$$

Current lineup:

LF Starlin Marte
3B Martin Prado
CF Andre McCutchen
1B John Jaso
2B Josh Harrison
SS Jordy Mercer
RF Gregory Polanco
C Francisco Cervelli

Not exactly murderer's row.

Literally playing all 162 games batter by batter in OOTP 2017 with the Pittsburgh Pirates. In June I was 8 1/2 games out of first. Made a couple of deals (Martin Prado and Sonny Gray for prospects) and now I am within 1 1/2 by the All Star break.

SEPULTURAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

I saw them in I think '93 or '94 with Fudge Tunnel and Pantera, if memory serves me correctly.

Great live band! Max and the singer from Fudge Tunnel (too lazy to look up his name and I can't remember it) joined up in Nailbomb. That was a good band!

Stuck making a decision between 3 possible job opportunities (for now):

1. Most pay, only contract and could go perm
2. Medium pay, but a lot of travel in the car (60%).
3. Least pay, crappy benefits, guy really likes me and I think this one will be offered this week.

They have on their happy faces... Can't you tell?

Oh I can tell!!!

That band right there may have the most messed up story in the history of metal.
