I do parts, wreck estimates, as well as a few other things for the Service Dept. at a motorcycle/atv/tractor dealership. And sometimes you run across some oddly shaped parts......

That's not too odd, I bet half the peoples got one.
Probably 99% of OS'ers got one.

Touche....

Once my lady friend responded to me with a text that said "Touché," but for some reason from her iPhone to my past flip phone the é couldn't be decoded so it showed up as a question mark. Her text ended up saying: "Touch?" I was like "HELL YEA!!!" and the rest of the conversation got weird until it was finally disclosed what she actually sent and what I actually read.

I think my text to her before hers may have been like a "That's what she said" or something. Basically something that kind of flowed somewhat fittingly from one piece of dialogue to the next.

Half phallus, half barbell. What's so odd about that?

re: Off-Topic

The actual nomenclature for the parts is "knob" and "angled knob"

I can attest to that lol, before I was forced to upgrade after tracfone stopped carrying 2G in my area there were lots of gaffs between messengers that my simpleton phone didn't support. I blame them for ignoring my multiple reminders that I don't have those emojis or fanciness

It was annoying getting the "unsupported emoji" icon when someone was most likely just making a crying laughing face

why does everyone cry laughing anyway? is this the current extrapolation of "lol" when people used to mock the language and say "are you really laughing out loud?", but now it'd be "are you really crying?"

I need to put this in the took too long to realise thread:
Whenever I used to read that word & wasn't in the know, I'd read it as touchy.

Police batons don't look like they hurt.

I'm not saying they don't, and frankly I wouldn't want to be hit by one to find out... I'm sure it can break bones, even. Just any time I see it used on shows/movies or wherever, it looks like a nice little slap on the wrist and I'm not feeling the weight of the result. I guess part of it is because they look plastic, when in fact they're probably what, steel?

Never held one in hand either, so obviously I'm criminally undermining its brutality.

I've always felt the police baton looks like a person getting slapped by an orchestra conductor, it looks like nothing

re: Off-Topic

Also, I wonder why police are saddled with full equipment, shirt tucked in, belt tight, isn't that an encumbrance when foot pursuit is necessary?

I propose new equipment for law enforcement that allows any unnecessary equipment to be dropped during a foot pursuit that allows police to run at full speed and track down criminals at peak efficiency

Enjoy your last few hours of summer vacation parents/kids.

I'll thread jump again from the 'Longest Standing member' thread. When I joined, this day actually meant something to me, now it doesn't.

For 2 decades of your life this weekend was the most dreaded one.

Will make me feel old if I have to read about people on here talking about themselves going back to school.

For people without kids, mid-September is a nice time for a vacation. Still warm enough to enjoy things, no crowds, and prices on hotels are slashed in half.

re: Off-Topic

so I just bought 7 tickets to th e Bama-Ole Miss game in a couple weeks, from VividSeats. I printed them off from my computer & printer but what happens now to the real tickets that are floating around somewhere out there & whats to keep someone from using them & beating me to the game? I printed out a couple tickets to a Bama softball game a couple years back but this didnt occur to me then.
