This could have been us, but you refuse to believe in dinosaurs.
By the way, you could’ve been the guy on the right.

I love this and will be what I imagine whenever I think of you two…..(which is surprisingly often!).

They’re back, fellas!!!

They are fake

Probably. Or dragons.

It's funny how we are taught from a young age that oil is dead dinosaurs and finite.

Yet I've heard that we bleed wells dry then years later go back for more.

Did more dinosaurs die in the hole?

I later learned oil is from plankton and other aquatic plants and animals.

Can't trust what you see on the interwebs anymore I guess.

I have ... 1 ... bag of curds left... olives are easily attainable.... i.should buy some cherry tomatoes too...

Thanks for the reminder.

The brisket was amazeballs. My wife.did an awesome job.

It is me. I promise it's me. I'm all covered in dead dinosaur juice questioning how it got here. Watching boondock saints because it's culturally appropriate today.

Aliens are gay or they wouldn't have probed yoko and clinton1

If me and yoko are the specimens they chose to represent the human race, we all have bigger problems!!!

Turns out Leprechauns did it...

I was tied up in a big cast iron pot all day yesterday with no socks on. They finally let me out at midnight.

I wonder what I missed at work ?

OOF

Stupid and unnecessary thought time:

Why are there still so many toll free numbers?

The whole point of toll free was for customers to call in orders or ask questions without paying for long distance calls. But everyone now has cell phones and do not pay for long distance.

Associated with that is that the poor schmucks who sold pay phone booths, yellow page advertising, and long distance time minutes are pounding the pavement looking for something else with a future.

Yep about as random as you can get.

It's for old people* who are not savvy with smart phones and other digital paraphernalia. Without digging into it, I suspect that companies still need to comply with ADA accessibility requirements so they keep toll-free phone lines open so older, potentially infirm people still have a point of access that doesn't require an internet connection or use of a touch screen.

That, and it gives scammers easy cover to send dozens of calls to one person each day. As long as someone is paying the phone companies to keep them open, the toll-free lines will linger for a while.


*only slight offense intended to present company.

Also, not everyone has a cell phone despite it seeming like everyone does. Land lines are still thing, much to the exasperation of the phone companies. It costs a lot to maintain the legacy system.

Sometimes the landline is the best option when the cell towers are down during a storm or other event. It's happened here in recent memory.

I wish pay phones were still everywhere.

It's tough to find a spot to hide from attackers these days.

Man I'm gonna buy a pay phone for my house now

It was a highly reliable communication system. Too bad it became so expensive to maintain and therefore expensive for the customer. Cell phones are not a 1 to 1 replacement.

Not every one has reliable cell service, cell phones are only reliable in populated areas
