What sort of shank do you normally carry?
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

The act of enduring something which results in continuous consternation and/or pain of which you have no control over once into it. And, the event does not end until the act is completed or until you find a way to tunnel out and/or crawl through a proverbial 500 yard, sewage-laden drain pipe to free yourself of the event.


From the Urban Dictionary - pretty much describes a TubeNet visit. :lol:

My wife has an enchilada recipe that has been registered with the armed forces as a weapon of mass destruction.
That sounds terrible.

Is it as dangerous as the Firehouse Chili in Texas?

Take a toothbrush and melt the bristles over an open flame or some kind of high heat surface. Refine the edge as you go by scrapping it on concrete or other relatively coarse surface to shape the melted bristles to a point. Same pattern you use to properly sharpen an actual piece of cutlery. Let cool and enjoy.

I put a butter knife nearly through my left index finger almost two years ago. If you push hard enough, a flat piece of stainless steel can go through almost anything. That finger still looks very different and doesn't function very well, and I doubt it ever will. That didn't impact tuba too much, but it made playing bass a lot harder; the 1-4 fingering pattern so often used is no longer available.
Score one for the pack of frozen hotdogs I was trying to separate for the kids' supper.
