Random Thoughts That Don’t Warrant Their Own Thread: 2025

That sounds like a very special 30th birthday

 

I’m not sure how anyone with three or more kids functions without a minivan.

 

zing!!!

 

we have an enclave that does the job for 3 but recently got an odyssey and it’s so much easier. the horizontal sliding captains seats are a game changer

 

On pride.

 

Drove a VW minivan through Slovenia last summer. Downtown Piran was not fun

 

Just handed in a Hybrid RAV4 and holy shit that thing had zero acceleration

 

Pretty sure they’re British

 

Disappointed in no Seinfeld reference

Next weekend is already Memorial Day weekend?

 

A couple of weeks with 2 and I had already signed up to put my nuts in a grape cutter

 

5 seater with 3?

2 cars needed for more than 3.

 

goddamn sometimes a well executed hash brown patty in the morning is a great start to one's day

 

Ketchup or no?

 

sometimes, today...no

 

Ketchup as a condiment is only good on potatoes

 

And hot dogs

 

Onion rings

 

Gotta have a little ketchup glaze on your meatloaf.

 

I would argue a glaze is not a condiment.

 

I’m just surprised no mustard only purists are roasting your hot dog suggestion. YET

 

mustard is the devil's condiment

 

I live in Chicago and have been getting the side eye every time I order a hot dog for years.

They cant phase me

 

Burgerville's Walla Walla onion rings with Portland Ketchup Co. ketchup on the side with a little black pepper on top :chef'skiss:

 

You’re just built different

 

I'll do one strip of ketchup through some fried potatoes. Sometimes hot sauce but I pay for it later because I get bad heartburn. I just take Omeprezole every morning

I like ketchup on eggs also, but just a little bit. Ketchup is like a food group for my brother, I don't get it

 

Ketchup on hot dogs is gross IN MY OPINION but people can eat their hot dog however they want to.

 

I'll eat any kind of hot dog

 

That’s it. I’m going to go get a hot dog for lunch.

 

Some hot dogs are best with just ketchup, some are best with just mustard, some are best with both, some are best with both and relish.

 

We know lol

 

You’re only supposed to call it “ketchup” if it was produced in the Ketchup Valley outside of Heinz, Pennsylvania.

Otherwise, you have to use the generic term “catsup.”

 

I don't put ketchup on much, but if I have scrambled eggs then I love some ketchup on there

 

Is this a Simpsons reference

 

Herb is prone to making shit up

 

I reject this rule.

 

I unequivocally made this up.

 

Charles de Gaulle uniquely understood the difficulty in governing a nation with 246 different kinds of cheese.

 

I got an actual letter in the mail related to a personal matter today. My 88 year old great uncle wrote to see if I was available to play golf on September 23rd (I am). This is exciting, I feel like Mel Gibson in The Patriot.

 

There aren't any 7/11s near where I live or work anymore. Two Big Bites, mustard, ketchup, heated buns, and a little bit of relish sounds pretty good

It's been so long since I've had one I assume it's like Panda Express, in that I'll get it every few months and it just disappoints every time

 

The ones down in Texas only have the 1/4pd dogs and the are far inferior to the normal size dogs. I still grab one about once a month and am always let down. But I will do it again.

 

I was just in Japan and 7/11 is a different world there. It's like a legit restaurant-quality food distributor. People go there specifically to get food and great prices

 

i read a NTY article yesterday on what to do in Japan and they recommended 7/11, which blew my mind to learn

 

it's very weird to witness

 

Going to Japan really drives home how much America sucks ass

 

This is a must watch
