Snarking in a Becker Wonderland

it's up to 16f here, WC of +5 -- deer haven't started moving about yet, so I feel no guilt with sitting inside drinking a mug of tea and trying to plan out the productive parts of my day.
 
Happy New Year Beckerheads!

Since DunkEm already broke snark, some randomness...

Air fryers are awesome! That is all. Lol

A co-worker was talking about those before Christmas, and the wife and I spotted several at Kohls while shopping. What's the benefit of them, less oil/grease?

That said, I am feeling no pain, haha. Good ol' Johnny Walker.
 
I got mine for Christmas and haven’t stopped playing with it since. You can use trace amounts or no oil. It cooks circulating high temperature air. It makes a healthier dish that still gets very crispy.

I’m back to work tomorrow, no JW for me. :(

Enjoy though! :)
 
I don't know if I have ever been quite as furious as I was earlier tonight.

Was going to go bowling with my best friend and one of his buddies. The buddy was going to drive but if I remember right he's totalled about 6 vehicles so I volunteered. I kinda figured it was coming so I said no alcohol in my Jeep (I'm under 21, state law is no open containers in a vehicle, and I work a job where a single moving violation with get me fired).

Before we even made it 100 yards out of the driveway the buddy pulled out a mtn dew bottle and passed it to my friend and told him to try whatever concoction he had in it. Halfway through his sip I stopped the Jeep and started backing up towards his driveway. At this point no harm no foul, whatever, put it in his car and we'll be just fine.

But they start prodding. The buddy keeps saying, "come on man, you're kidding right? If anything happens I can throw it out the window! You're kidding right, your kidding? You've gotta be joking?"

I was still calm, but I'm awfully hard headed so I'm starting to get a bit perturbed.

"Do you reaaally think I'm kidding?"

Then my friend said, "You're being pretty lame dude," and that absolutely set me off. I'm a pretty quiet feller to begin with, but when I get really mad my voice changes, I stay quiet and sound calm but you can definitely tell it's not my regular.

I told him that I didn't give a damn whether he or his buddy thought I was 'lame' or not (in a few more words) and that my job is more important to me than "cool points."

So my friend changed his tune pretty quick but his buddy is still outraged that I would DARE not risk my job, driving record, even license so he could pregame for bowling.

Finally it went back to his car and we went on our (not very) merry way. We ended up eating some mcnuggets while his buddy sulked and going home without bowling lol.

Check out this machete at 3:20 ... the sucker looks like a BEAST!

That machete is THE V44. The ONLY V44. All those "V44s" that look like bad ass Bowie knives are really Collins #18 Pequeno Machetes or authorized copies (if REAL WW2 versions by Case, Western or Kinfolks). Any Bowie-esque knife called a "V44" is a wanna-be.

Sorry, Mr. Cole, you were wrong.

Edit to add - IIRC, this machete is Ethan's basis for the Brute.
 
Yes, Dawson, YOU did the right thing. Sometimes you have to make a choice between being right and keeping friends. I've lost a few over the years. In the long run, they don't matter. Your integrity and good name does.

Behind you 110%.

Thanks guys. Luckily my friend is a good guy and usually owns up to being wrong. After a couple minutes of telling him where exactly we stood he went from "c'mon man it won't hurt" to "dude just put it back" and we had normal conversation the rest of the night, with the exception of the sulky feller in the back lighting me up to his friends via text lol.

You ABSOLUTELY did the right thing.

A young man in our community was recently arrested for tampering with evidence when he tried to swallow a joint he was smoking when the police officer pulled him over. The young man "really thinks" pot should be legal, as if that will matter to a judge. The pot possession itself would probably have been a misdemeanor, but he's facing a felony for the tampering with evidence charge. Though your friend thought he could "just throw it out the window" my guess is that if the same cop pulled y'all over, the tampering with evidence charge would have landed on you as well.

You made the good, but unfortunately at times, hard choice.

Well done!!!!

Thank ya sir.

That was my thinking, anything they got in trouble for as passengers the driver would get worse.. I told them if that's what they wanted to do tonight they were more than welcome to do it by themselves in their own vehicles but they would be no risk taken on my part.

I should have backed out earlier when I heard who was going along but against my better judgement I went along with it until the already clear house rule got broken. Couldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
 
Oh yeah... open bottle >>>> minor in possession charges for everyone in the vehicle. Heaviest charges get laid on the driver as it is his/her vehicle. Only the DRIVER gets the driving record points in addition to all the criminal charges. Such as open container in a vehicle, DUI charges, + whatever else the police find, like that joint the dingbat had in his pocket that he dropped on the floor.

"No, officer, that's not mine. It was on the floor board when I got in."
