Is your roommate a 35 year old video game tester?

...and your mom.

You should add Weeki Wachee Springs to your list. Go and see the mermaid show and take a dip in the (quite chilly) natural springs.

I went years ago and was just floating peacefully in the water. All of a sudden there was big commotion and people started pointing towards me in the water. My heart instinctively skipped a beat and then looked under the water with some goggles on. A massive manatee had decided to swim up toward the spring head and was probably a foot from me. As I was staring completely stunned, it turned to look at me, smiled, and swam on. A bucket list experience for sure.

The Sundays. They're an English shoe gazer band from the 90s. I got into them in 12th grade because my best friend Moises could play most of their first album. So un-rock and roll, but I *love* the acoustic guitars in their songs, and Harriett Wheeler might have the most incredible voice in pop music. They only ever made three albums.



Nice! Very Cranberry-esque

  • My dad/uncle is a cop!
  • I know my rights!
  • 2 beers, 2 hours ago, I live right there!
On a related note, when' the cops put their gloves on they are about to go hands-on.





Yee Yee! Hands on, live action!!!

I love The Sundays. Saw them live in '92 on the Blind tour. I would not consider them a guilty pleasure as that implies embarrassment that one likes them. Huge fan is a better description.

Also, not shoegaze. Leave that term for bands like Lush, Ride, MBV, et.al.

Carry on. Those that know and appreciate Harriet & David's talent are good in my book.

My new guilty pleasure… watching police body cam videos of people, almost always an unhinged female, losing their minds during a traffic stop.

Typically it starts with a normal traffic stop. Many times someone might have gotten off with a warning or a ticket… but the attitude, combativeness, and just downright crazy these people throw at cops results in them getting arrested.

I've got anxiety.
I'm pregnant.
You are hurting me.
I'm going to sue you.
You can't arrest me.
I want my mommy.
Etc.

Hey, lady, sign the ticket. Argue it in court. Don't go to jail.

The best ones are in the airport, normally involving Spirit Airlines.

I've find that I enjoy going on Reddit to find people asking for interior design/decorating help and telling them to add a dog.

A non-zero number of them respond with pictures of their dogs, so it's a win-win for me.

You forgot "I want to speak to a supervisor "…..

Right after "I'm not driving, I'm traveling".

I saw one yesterday where they tried that line and the cop didn't buy it. She refused to step out of the car (which had a fake plate) and then kicked a cop when they removed her so she got arrested. They ended up calling a neighbor to come pick up her kids and take them home. When they neighbor arrived, she too had fake sovereign citizen plates. They said they were going to tow her car as well and the woman asked them to reconsider because she was sure everything was above board. The cop immediately responded, "I've reconsidered it and I am still towing you car, you can walk home with the kids".

I want to see the World's Largest Pistachio in Alamagordo, NM

I go there about once per year. When you go, I highly recommend the tour. Only takes about 15-20 minutes and isn't expensive but pretty interesting.

Also, I recommend the New Mexico Museum of Space History (also in Alamogordo).

I go to Alamogordo several times a year on business (there's certain things we do that need to be done many miles away from people). Recommend both these.

Late at night, after my wife goes to sleep, I watch videos from YouTube channels that my whole family consider boring as heck. I think they're interesting; but if I get too sleepy then I just set the TV timer knowing I can resume later.

* Ghost Town Living
* The Repair Shop
* Vice Grip Garage
* Junkyard Digs
* various mudlarking channels, mostly in UK and usually on the Thames
* various channels with videos about exploring abandoned places

#4 cheese burger, fries, large coke zero, with a large sonic blast/ Oreo cookies pieces fron Sonic. I could eat one every night, however, I allow myself one per week while I watch the Fightin Texas Aggies football game.

How do you keep your blast from melting while you're devouring the cheeseburger and large fries?

Haven't seen that before but it's right up my alley. Thx.

Forgot to mention another one. This one the guys mostly explore old buildings (churches usually) and old cemeteries, mostly in rural Georgia
