With my first Victoria's Secret paycheck in hand (figuratively speaking, because we have those stupid-ass pay cards that I'm desperately hoping I will have done away with by next pay cycle), I went out and bought (even though I really can't afford it):

The Beatles in Mono boxset!

Lair.  You totally bought ladies underpants and you know it.

Well, he is a woman...

I'm working at Lowe's for the summer (watering plants, pretty nice gig) and they use the pay cards too Gaffer, and yeah they really suck.  I thought if I just used that I wouldn't have to worry about bank fee's that always get me into trouble, but instead I just get more fee's.  So I just always take all my money out when I get paid and operate on a cash-only basis.

Also, nice buy!  Please Please Me in mono is amazing.

Hey, where the hell did Sluggo go?

 He's still active on Facebook, so he's apparently okay.  Probably just taking a little time away.  Even lovers need a holiday.

Types of apples I've eaten:

MacIntosh
Empire
Red Delicious
Golden Delicious
Granny Smith
Honeycrisp
Mutsu
Royal Gala
Jazz
Fuji
Russet
Ambrosia
Snow
Braeburn
Crispin
Cortland
Pink Lady
Ginger Gold
Honeygold
Idared
Jonagold
Lobo
Spartan
Northern Spy
Paula Red
Red Prince
Cameo

There are more, but I can't remember them. Sometimes small/lesser known varieties pass through town like ships in the night.

Favorite? Hmm... Honeycrisps blew me away the first time I had them, then they were very hit-and-miss afterwards. A few years later, I still haven't had another truly great one. Fujis are amazingly unique and delicious, but the taste can grow tiresome more quickly than others, I admit. Russets are also very unique and good, though they can be pretty dry. Red Delicious is a great all-rounder. Empires are usually excellent. Braeburns are WAY up there amongst my favorites and I'm sad they're only available a short time. I had one Snow apple and was VERY impressed. Looking forward to getting some this fall. (I hope!)

Having said that, I'll just go with Pink Lady, I think. I love the tough texture and they're nice and sweet. Never had a bad one.

Worst? Golden Delicious. Even at their crispiest, they're pretty soft, which is very unappealing to me. The taste is nothing to write home about either.

Seinfeld was the original 'what is this I don't even', right? :p

Everglades! Everglades! Make the world another type! Try orange, no red! The rocky asunder under-way!!!! I try to see the mountain but, the Dragon's in the way. Never into the undergrowth I go. There by the Eagles training. I take my VHS case crush it in my mouth. While ribbons of silk surround me going every other way. Try intertwining carrots very good!!!! In the yesterday's news I find the toaster of hello kitty design.

Liar.  You totally bought ladies underpants and you know it.

wouldn't that be like Colonel Sanders paying for fried chicken?

Yeah, but see, we needed the money.

Funniest thing I've read all day. Granted, that might tell you something about my day.

Segue attempt number two: Now that this thread has produced the funniest thing I've read all day, it's time for me to dampen the mood.

The good news:  I successfully taught myself to change a tire today, completely on my own!  The bad news:  I was in a position today where I was forced to teach myself how to change a tire, completely on my own.  At noon.

And it gets better.  Interestingly enough, I discovered this tire problem when I got in my car to drive to a service station because my car's been acting up lately.  Could that be considered an irony?  But, anyway, when I finally made myself mobile again and got to the service station, it turns out my car needs $600 worth of work.  Since I didn't have that kind of money in my checking account, I had to put it off until I can get some money out of my savings.  Did I mention they only accept cash?

Well, at least Victoria's Secret is working me to the bone.  I've amassed nearly 40 hours a week in both the past two weeks, and with the Semi Annual Sale starting up this coming Tuesday, that's not changing for next week either.  I have to be at work until 2:00 in the morning the night before the sale starts in order to set things up.  But maybe with all of this work, I might manage to break even... =/

Would you believe the sense of accomplishment I felt at changing my tire was the high point of my day?

Pics or it didn't isn't happening.

I mean, Please!  Tell us more!
