The Official Status Update Thead: Part 99 - Fight Club

[MrsGungho]

Sounds like a good day! You have earned a good nights sleep

I put in 9 hours and have to go in tomorrow

oh and something good happened today

I hate that the boys are always playing World of Tanks on xbox. well, they have been having a lot of problems with both of them playing, hubby is constantly calling the cable company and they reset the modem, do this, do that. Today was the last straw. Not only are they sending a tech tomorrow with a new modem, they lowered our cable/internet bill by $50 a month.

 

[MrsGungho]

I quit too!

oops

 

[db1959]

no young!

I see what you did there!

 

[chocktaw2]

Didn't get nearly as much done today as I wanted to. I guess the world won't end over a few chores. Time for me to go pick up my wife from work. BBL

I see what you did there!

At least you have 20/20.

 

[chezuki]

Can you use a normal can opener???

Negative. The lip on the spam can is much to tall.

Take a look here...

open a spam can without the opener - YouTube

Yeah, that's where I got the hammer and chisel idea. Just figured I'd see if someone had the correct tool first. I may try to neatly remove the top with a dremel, seems like it would make a cool piece of garage wall art.

Some people open them from the back to collect them.
You can also probably open just 2/3 of it to get the ammo out.

Hello Sylvain!

Good morning .

Saw an interesting thing Tuesday evening. I was waiting outside at a local eatery for a friend. there was some older guy standing out there smoking. There was a kid who was about 12 or 13 who was running and carrying magazines from a business next to the restaurant to a SUV parked about 4 cars from where were standing. He did this 3 times and I commented to the other guy that I wish I had that kids energy. Just as I said that the guy asked me if I could see anyone else in the vehicle. I stepped closer and told him no, I didn't. Then the SUV pulls out of the parking spot. I then see the guy on the phone and he said "Chief, who do you have on duty tonight? Some young kid just took off driving in a green SUV". Not sure who the guy was but he had a badge on his belt, no visible weapon. We watched the kid drove down the street. I have to say he was driving better than most people

 

[db1959]

Howdy Sylvain the Frenchman!

So... anybody near the west side have a spam-can opener I can borrow, or should I just start hacking on this thing with a hammer and chisel?

Take a dremel to the top lip/edge. The top comes right off. You'll never use and opener again. You can come borrow my dremel or come over and do it here or I'll do it for ya. It's only gas right

 

[MrsGungho]

oh yeah, I got it beat

lady comes to the register and was standing off to the side, asked a question, glanced up told her yes mam and went back to what I was doing. She comes back with her purchases and she has skin tight shorter than daisy duke shorts on. She was pretty tall, so her "junk" was level with the counter. She wasn't a she and her junk was clearly printing.

I almost threw up in my mouth

Einstein!

Yes! Howdy!

Obviously I'm too late to the party
