Bojangle’s is a Carolina chain of fried chicken restaurants that has recently expanded to other surrounding states. Their sides can indeed be hit or miss, but the chicken and biscuits are splendid.

We are in the middle of a chicken sandwich war here. Wendy's, McD's, Bo-han-glaze, Popeye's, and now Zaxby's are all claiming to have the best. That they have revolutionized the chicken sandwich. NONE are as good as Chick-fil-A. Never will be.
Spicy w/extra pickles, please!
Or is it Beaux-han-glaze?
Ribs and BBQ chicken.
Does anyone here NOT know what "/s" signifies in an internet forum?
Asking for a friend.
Aimo used "/extra" earlier and she was discussing extra pickles. So unless it is as awesome as extra pickles I don't think I want to know.
Maybe I spend too much time on Reddit.
Scratch that, I obviously do.
"/s" is commonly used to denote that the previous statement was intended sarcastically. I have clearly misunderstood how widespread that practice was. Multiple times.
I don’t even know how to read or follow Reddit threads when I visit them, which isn’t often. I went to the GameStop thread and everyone was all “stock X to the moon” and then stock X would jump so I assume it’s a bunch of basement dwelling wizards with their own tongue.
I used to be one of those annoying guys that would say “hashtag blessed” and make the pound symbol with my fingers. Now I’m going to be one of those annoying guys that says “backslash s” after I say something sarcastic
Like, “Yes, darling, I’d love to hear about your sister’s work issues. Backslash S”.
She's in the administration of one of the largest school districts in VA. She deals specifically with parents who are threatening or who are bringing lawsuits against the district. Her job burdens have increased recently and I actually have tremendous empathy for her position and the stress she is under.
I was just being a snarky lil so and so.
I've legit reached a phase in life where I'm pretty sure I don't want to advance and get more responsibility. I feel like I shouldn't feel that way but I'm pretty sure that's how I feel.
Stepdad played point at Ohio University waaaayyyyy back in the day.
Haven't been to Athens since they renamed everything after Joe Burrows though.
Lemon bars. Mmmmmm.
I want to live this life. I mean, just look at that horse walking on the lake.

It doesn't appear to have pedals. What a fun picture.
And what is the point of homeboy's cane?!?!
You can always tell a non-native Southerner when s/he spells it "ya'll" instead of "y'all".
I am of the opinion that y'all is an absolute victory of efficiency. It's the best word to describe a group of people. I had someone, who is not a native Southerner, recently tell me it could be singular. I have never used it to refer to one person, and looking at it it should have to be plural. Does anyone disagree with that?
Speaking of y'all does it apply when addressing a collection of animals?
In this case I'm thinking Skydog, Bluedog, dudog84, and Kdogg.
Insert Baha Men reference here.
Do you guys think pink gloves will leave a pink residue on someone's face? Follow up: do you guys know of anything that would remove pink residue from someone's face?
Isn't "all y'all" the more proper phrasing?
Yes, I'm expecting a "bless his heart" any post now.
I side with you here. Y'all in the singular seems crazy to me. And I have an entire lecture based on the Dunning-Kruger effect. I had an unbelievably fun lecture last week where there were 8 of us in the room and all of us had different opinions and everyone was firmly convinced they were right. How fun is that?!?!
not sure I can ever use y'all since I haven't seen more than one person at a time since 55 weeks ago.
May I use it addressing my wife and dog?
I think Pringles' initial intention was to make tennis balls. But on the day that the rubber was supposed to show up, a big
truckload of potatoes arrived instead. But Pringles is a laid-back company. They said "F*** it. Cut 'em up." --Mitch Hedberg
"A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer. " --Mitch Hedberg
I'm also workshopping some titles about the inevitable book that will be written about this. I have settled on "Y'all saw what he Posted: the Punching of Clemmonsdevil". But I would welcome suggestions.
Attempts to resuscitate my lawn mower this year were successful. Inaugural mowing was also smooth.
Chortle the tortle?
It's official! I'm a consultant. Got my first project approved.
New business opening up. Very similar to the one I owned and operated for about ten years. Directly in my wheelhouse.
I spent days obsessing over what to pitch them for a fee schedule. I didn't want to scare them off,but wanted it to be worth my time. Feeling pretty excellent at the moment.
Congrats! I’ve done a few independent consulting gigs. I had no idea how to price the first one and think I could have gotten much more —- and I charged what I thought of as a lot for that age. It can be quite lucrative. Intermittent but lucrative. Just don’t forget back end taxes!
Almost lunchtime. Heck yea!
If I had to choose between those two, I would go with Julia Roberts. She is a little less scary. I think you pictured Hilary Swank b/c of my pink boxing gloves. I was afraid someone would say some MMA fighter, and that would be SO not accurate. I am tall like Julia, but sadly nowhere near her skinnyness.
I like the Robert Downey, Jr choice. He is punchable. If you really wanted me to get violent, pick someone like Geno Auriemma.
After having had to rebuild a lawn mower carburetor or two, I finally switched to premium unleaded for the lawn mower. And emptying out the fuel before the start of winter. Ultimately, I ended up going electric/battery operated when the local utility offered an incentive to do so.
There are solutions for this:

Could someone please explain to me WHY Just for Men is JUST FOR MEN? Is there something chemically different about it that makes it NOT for women? And I am referring to the stuff for head hair, not beards. Not going there.
I think I'm going to print up some t-shirts that say Have an Audibly Chortling Day!
I slept like crap last night and need a nap, but I'm off to a remarkably productive start to the week both at work and at home.
My wife says she's making a surprise for dinner for me this evening. I hope it's chicken marsala.
Ah, my man Ed at Little Engine Heaven (he's a jet engine mechanic in his regular job) nods his approval. Unleaded only, run the gas out, and you might also sprinkle in some fuel stabilizer as you do this for any remaining gas in the carburetor.
And at the end of the mowing season (do you have an end to your season?) pour the gas in your car, get new gas for the next mowing season...Ed's like the Heloise of small engines...
Is it really chortling if it isn't audible?
Trees. Forests. Falling.
I've used more eggs in the last year than the prior 5.
I love eggs.
Number 2 son, Paddies, just called me to tell me he has been named the John Converse Award recipient for 2021. Super proud of him. (UVM Economics Department award given for outstanding academic achievement to a senior economics major. He gets his name on a plaque in the department's office and a check for $94!)
Take out. What should we get?
Congrats to Sondevil (Bostonson?)!
I would likely spend a $94 prize on Legos.
We went with sushi. Wife got beef drunken noodles at 10 spice.
I'm allergic to swinging consistently and the admittedly stereotypical golf culture. My parents live on a golf course in SC and I've met the people that live there. They are not my people. I do like when they do the best ball derby and everyone gets drunk by 9 AM, puts on big hats, and swerves around on their golf carts chasing the best ball. By the time there are only 2 players left all these retirees are completely sloshed and hooping and hollering so much that my stepdad, who flew B52s while bombs burst in the air around him, said it was the most nervous he's ever been. In perhaps one of the most odd traditions, the assembled revelers then brings out Deep Sea Barb, a leviathan of a mermaid, for the ceremonial victor's motor-boating.
My neighbors just built a chicken coop. I told them if they ever have an over abundance of eggs and they just HAVE to get rid of some, I would take some off their hands. Haven't even bought chicks, yet, so a little ways down the road.
Guess I'm counting the eggs before the chickens hatch?

Which one? My in-laws had a second home on Spring Island, then retired to live there full time, then sold it a couple of years ago to move back to their hometown of Springfield, MO. The Spring Island golf course is fantastically beautiful but I don't remember anything like this best ball tournament going on there.
Anyone have Alexa or Google Home enabled light bulbs?
Pros/cons?
I recently got a couple plugs and was debating options. I also just replaced a light bulb, first time in 4-5 years for this particular bulb. I have quite the inventory of CFLs and LEDs.
I have some home automation, but not Google or Amazon connected. A few lights and my thermostats are automated.

I've been reluctant to go with more advanced thermostats. I've got schedules programmed with my current ones and have stuck to those for the last 5-6 years. I guess it is sort of like the manual timers I just replaced with the smart plugs, those have been working fine for years but I've had a rash of failures in the last year, so the more advanced automation is merely replacing current functionality on one level.
My thermostats spend most of their time in an ordinary pre-programmed mode. What I have set up through the automation is a program that turns the fan on if the heat or ac hasn't been on in a while to mix up the air. Our basement and first floor are on the same zone, and without mixing the basement can get a lot cooler, and uncomfortably so. It's an issue in the spring and fall.

I've been reluctant to go with an Alexa or any smart-style tech in my home over fears of the Terminator scenario.Quote:

The reason we don't have Alexa or smart-tech is out of concern for the tech. My fear is my bucolic existence will bore them and I fear for the psychosocial well being of the tech. Could I take it outside so it could at least see my contentious interactions with neighbors? Maybe that would hold Hal's interest.
car wash, after which I'll rediscover the color of my wife's car.
I did.
I believe mine required the 'C' wire to be hooked up - it carries power from the air handler to the thermostat. I had my HVAC tech hook it up when he did regular fall service one year, and then it was pretty simple for me to do the rest after he left.
I have a Honeywell WiFi thermostat, and I love it. I pretty much use it like a normal programmable thermostat, but when we travel (or when we [I]used/I] to travel) it was great to start adjusting the heat/air so the house was back to temperature when we arrived home. It's the little things, you know?
To a certain level, I have also. The "smart plugs" I bought are nothing more than glorified Clappers.* (I have one of those in its box in my closet. "White elephant" gift from a few years back.) I contrast this functionality with say a Nest thermostat which bills itself as having an algorithm which optimizes comfort and energy use. The "smart plugs" are programmable within Alexa as to their turn off and turn on times. You can use a schedule based on sunrise/sunset or definitive times or both. That first part is the smartest thing going on, using my lat/long with a calendar of daylight savings and sunrise/sunset times. I do this manually already and make small adjustments as we go through the year.
*I've probably made the machines mad with that statement.
