Honest to God - do they sell everything? Damn near...

Truth sometimes is stranger than fiction. Ya know how they used to sell whole house kits in the Sears Catalog? Well...   
 
The rumors are true. You can buy a move-in-ready house on Amazon and have it shipped directly to your door in a matter of weeks - and, no, you won’t need a real estate agent or 30-year mortgage. The price - installed - is only $ 52,800. You couldn't build it yourself that cheap, and I know, having spent the better part of 30+ years building houses here and in the Caribbean.
Amazon has no shortage of tiny houses, from dwellings on wheels to a-frame cabins - all for a fraction of the price of a traditional home. The options are endless with these homes, as many are fully customizable and can serve as a primary residence, a backyard guest suite, a home office, or even a short-term rental property
All you need to prepare ahead of the house’s delivery is a flat area to assemble the home, and the delivery team will do the rest of the work for you, assembling the home in your desired location in a single day. 
Electricity and plumbing are pre-installed and can be connected to your city's main utility lines, or you can opt to customize the home to accommodate a fully off-grid lifestyle with the addition of solar panels and a water system. 
If you click on the headline photo, you can see the listing on Amazon. No wonder that friggin' Bezos guy is so rich. Jeez...

I had the pleasure yesterday of coming across not one, not two, but three different little millennial non-girls-of-color who were sporting nappy-ass, really bad dreads. Sadly I was in my truck all three times and couldn't speak with them but had I the opportunity, I may have said to each of them individually: "YOU LOOK LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT - IF I WAS YOUR PARENT I'D KILL MYSELF", but I didn't have the chance. 
The bad attitudes, spray-on hair tint, piercings and tats are nice additions to the overall whateverthefuckitisyourtryingtosay look. Yer workin' it, babe. That being said, have a nice day...

Where are all of the MOR Dimorats hiding? If ya follow the 'news', you'd think each and ever one of them is a raving fuckin' loon. Schumer - as full of shit as he is - almost seems 'fatherly' compared to the rest of the rabble in Congress. The Dim Senators, with one or two exceptions, come across as a bunch of screaming memes themselves. How did it happen that they all appear somewhat fuckin' nuts?

Do you really think anyone ever got a free 'scholarship' from the school? I sent away on a similart drawing thing from them when I was in high school. I never did get anything back from them, but people tell me it took them the better part of a month to stop laughing. Yeah - I'm sure this outfit was legit, right?

That's the Belfast (NI) City Hall all decorated and lit up for this fabulous Christmas Fair that they do every year. I was there three years ago, and aside from the fact that there's a 90% chance it'll rain, it really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The food, the music, the people, the genuinely friendly vibe was truly a magical experience, and you know I don't wax romantic easily. Belfast really has become a wonderfull City in the last 20 years or so.

I wish we coulda seen that whole thing unfold. I think the guy's 110% right. These street people who do shit like that just to get 'likes' on TikTok or wherever need to get the shit beat out of 'em. Doing stunts and bullshit that take advantage of other people is straight up wrong, and the guy did deserve to get his ass kicked. Juss' sayin'...

Yeah - like I could get Babs to wear that. Right...

  3. Does that house come with a foundation. Probably need more than a flat open space. Also the flat roof is a bad idea. It will leak.

    1. Snow load, 2x4 exterior walls, double pane windows....it'd be a nice summer cabin. It'd be tough to keep it heated in winter up here.

  4. I liked the prank (in Russia?) where some idiot was in a mailbox and would throw the mail back out. Some guy got fed up with it and emptied his magazine into the mailbox. Best ending ever.

Regular or high test? There's a question ya don't hear much any more...

 Premium gas sounds like it’s something special. But it translates into paying extra for a higher octane without any performance or fuel-eco...
