Word Shenanigans

 Top of the morning to ya! Or top of whenever you read this to ya, if it's not morning.

Pretty sure I already posted a picture of a shirt with the word "shenanigans" on it. It's just such a fun word to say. And it implies fun in its meaning. It's just a top-quality word in general.

Happy Birthday to Oreos! 110?! Yikes! I hope these cookies are fresher than that. Notice there's some kind of contest to enter to "Win Your Wish". Did somebody at Oreos find a genie lamp, and decided it would make a great prize for a contest?

Bart Simpson writing some truth. I'm too lazy to look up when this episode aired, but it's time for you might vary depending on your own opinions. If you think about it, MTV was very similar, in its time, to what YouTube is for today's youth.

Another funny thing I saw on a The Simpsons episode. In the recent movie Ant Man and The Wasp, the gang's security company was named X-Con. The idea of former convicts helping secure homes is not really a new concept. And it's maybe a media cliche at this point for everything to say "They already did that on a The Simpsons episode."

So long old cable box! I made sure to wait a week or so before I sent this back, to make sure the new one was working fine. Since they sent it to me in this giant box with no packing material at all, probably fine to send this back the same way. Why make me send it back if they are going to throw away this 10-year-old piece of junk? Or, maybe they will put it in their museum? Does it count as a "dinosaur"?

My laptop updated to Windows 11, I think. No explanations or anything, but I don't really care. As long as it works enough to post these pictures.

I saw this chair and laughed because it totally looks like it jumped right out of Animal Crossing. The type of furniture Pascal would have given you the recipe for, and you'd need a pearl to make it.

I finally stopped slacking off and called XBox tech support to un-brick my console, which was displaying a blank screen. They easily talked me through a hard-reboot which made me re-log into the wifi and XBox Live account, but now I'm back! I'll take a moment to mention the newest Call of Duty game is so awful, that there are plenty of people still playing the older WWII game. Which came out in 2017! In our opinions, it's the best one they've made.

I did have to buy an XBox Live Gold membership card to play online though. If you try to buy this on their online shop, they only sell 3-month memberships. But the 12-month ones are available in stores. I know it's weird, but I'm not going to figure this out for them, I'll just go to a store I guess. No big deal.

I was bored one weekend and tried some nacho fries instead of chips. Pretty good actually. I think I might prefer dipping-cheese rather than melted shredded cheese, but hey, any cheese is good, right?

After a while, I start to pair up the jalapeno slices with bits on the plate. To make sure I don't wind up with extra of one or the other. It looked a little silly and I thought I might get another funny picture of it. I meant "awesome". it looked awesome. I'm not crazy.

Look at that tiny adorable Atari 2600! AHHH! So cute! Um... how are you supposed to play this tiny Dance Dance Revolution? I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to step on it. SQUISH!

This Barnes and Noble is putting other merchandise in what used to be the video section. I thought it was funny seeing this part labeled "Box Sets" and... I guess those puzzles are in boxes. 

C'mon Disney! Seriously? A cookbook for the villains? And you are going to put the famously POISON APPLE on THE COVER!!?? That apple is so good, you'll feel like taking a nap.... forever! Should I ask if cooked Sebastion Crab in there, too?

Lunch break, stopped in traffic checking out the workers working on this broken wire pole, I get busted by this dude looking at us getting his picture. He had a fun laughing reaction afterwards, and now being stuck in traffic is awkward. Can we get moving please? Haha.

Might as well get a picture of the other side of the road. This field has cows and sheep in it. Cows right now. It's always nice to glance over there as you pass by the cute animals.

GROSS!!! Something about recycling your sauce packets at Taco Bell? What The Blank! Who's idea... I can't even right now.

Oh, whew! On the way out we spot this other ad saying they shred the sauce packets into a plastic and make benches. I thought they were going to re-eat them or something. Still, a little gross, but not as much as I originally thought.

Getting the oil changed at the dealership. In the lobby they have on display an old Honda 600 Coupe from 1972! the tag says it sold for $1,543!! Can you imagine that? I'll take a couple please. It would be nice to have a spare.

This thing is TINY! I couldn't quite get a picture showing it next to the nearby SUV, but seriously it looked like you could just fit it in the other car's back seat.

Big sticker on the back said it's not for sale. Obviously somebody would have bought it by now. This thing is adorable, I want to put it in my pocket! Some kind of sticker on the back for Merciless Mings, since 1967. I wonder if Merciless Mings is still around, whatever it is.

Not only does the dealership have the best price for an oil change (with a coupon we get in the mail), but they give you a coupon for a free car wash from the place next door. 

I've been through a couple of these before, as a passenger. But my friend can't remember driving through one of these with his own car. So we were a little unsure about what to do. There's a sign for that!

A few stickers on the side there at the entrance. Including the OBX! Outer Banks, North Carolina if you don't recognize those initials. We go down there a bunch. Also spotted a Disney Passholder sticker with Tinkerbell on it.

This is oddly very uncomfortable, as your car moves forward on it's own, and you can't see a thing out of the window. Instincts telling you to panic and what-not. The thumping of the brushes all over the car, too. We made it through okay, but wow that was weird.
