Or do you just spend that time wondering if it is a bug whether it will crawl into your nose and lay its eggs?

Never bother to look. I just try to wait it out.

That's good training for times when you cannot scratch an itch. Like at the dentist etc.

So there is the vasectomy, which allows sex without the risk of pregnancy. But is there some wire they can cut to just make you never think about sex again? I’m ready to go full George Costanza genius mode.

I think that’s called being a eunuch. Then you could be like Varys from Game of Thrones. Who is sort of like George if you think about it.

Hmmm well that’s a neat name at least. Maybe a brain surgery then.

Is learning Portuguese that important to you?

How early is too early to start attacking those bags of beef jerky and Cheezies I have in my desk drawer? Such a match made in heaven, those two things.

Cheezies aren’t what they once were. Shame too, they used to be a lot better.

It's so much easier to justify when you boil snack foods down to their base stats. It's cheese and lean meat. Go nuts

I actually think the primary ingredient for both of those is salt.

So as long as you've got a water bottle I say go for it.

Hawkins is the only right choice

Yeah, I mean, of course. But while the texture is spot on, but the flavour is awful. It’s orange-tinges fine salt. Use the flavour powder from Doritos or something and they’d be perfect.

Biking in I saw 3 pairs of shoes tossed over power/communication lines. A few days ago I saw another pair elsewhere. It got me thinkin', how many pairs of shoes do utilities have to remove from lines per year? It's gotta be hundreds, right? Thousands? More? I don't really have a good sample size, and suspect they'd be clustered around high schools. It's a real mystery.

I've never tossed a pair of sneakers onto a powerline. Sorta feel like I've let myself down.

I see this all the time when traveling around the US and never really understood it. It is much more prevalent down there and I assume it is buddies screwing around with each other.

I've always understood the shoes on power lines thing to be a signal that drug dealers operate in the area. Always thought that might be an urban myth, but a google search confirms that at the very least, the practice exists.

I thought it was a signal that bullies are prowling.

I thought it was a practice that was enacted by the shadowy 'Big Shoe Cabal' to keep people having to buy new shoes!

They're worried that if the callouses on our feet become too thick we could do away with 'Feet Prisons' altogether and destroy the sneaker market thus making suddenly poverty stricken professionals such as Michael Jordan have to buy groceries in the slums with the rest of us!
