If trick or treat was halloween night I'd be more inclined to partake in handing out treats/scaring kids. It's usually the sunday before Halloween from 2-4 PM

The phrase "pulled a Fleury." Especially by Pens fans describing other goalies.

So, the office manager sits near me. She ordered a laptop case/messenger bag thing for one of our finance dudes, and it arrived yesterday....

...in a box rated for up to 75 pounds measuring 20" square, containing - and we measured this - thirty-six (36) linear feet of air pillows.

Take pictures and send them in to Consumer Reports. I think they still run sarcastic "golden cocoon" awards for excessive packaging.

The cold and flu pill packages that you need tiny fingers and super strength to tear open. I know they need to be kid proof but if I am sick and weak I want something easy to open

How can Fed Ex have a shipping option that wont allow for pick up on missed deliveries?

I'm supposed to be at home from 8-6 tomorrow to sign for the package, what idiocy. I just spoke with the rep and apparantly the thing just sits in the driver's car and isn't taken to a central location.

They dont even exist for old people anymore. Too much tech and too many buttons.

How some songs' studio versions are all unavailable on YouTube if I'm on my tablet. Seriously? Why do I have to listen on my laptop and not tablet? I'm just going to use Grooveshark..

Buicks are essentially the same as a Chevy. They look the same and feel the same inside.

I saw a bridge project sign here with the tag "Finishing in Fall 2016." Ugh. I-90 over the Mississippi is one lane each way.
