    Found an unoccupied stolen vehicle today and was pretty sure I knew who stole it based on a street tip. Couldn’t prove that person stole. Was able to set up surveillance on the vehicle and just got word they caught the person I believed to be the thief in the car and made the arrest. 
    Awesome!  Now hopefully the prosecutor will step up to the plate.

    If you click on a sandwich photo, there'll be a description of the sandwich below the picture.
    those sandwiches look incredible
    Thanks, but you know I'm just the guy that sent you the link, right? I don't make the sandwiches, or make them look incredible, or take pictures of them, that make them look incredible. I'm just a guy who sent out an incredible sandwich link, I could have sent out an incredible sausage link instead, but you'd ask for pictures of those .... and some of those pictures are private, At least until I tease apart all the random pictures that my wife started filing under the top folder of Sausage_Party.

    Got a haircut at GreatClips this morning.  
    Cute, young brunette (whom I hadn't seen before) sat me down, and was a bit too chatty for my tastes.  
    When she learned I was retired AF, she started discussing recent European history and the Russian atrocities.  Then, when she learned I had worked in nuclear weapons/missiles, the discussion steered into deeper stuff: Paper Clip, "The Final Solution" train, NASA, Wernher von Braun, and Egyptian/Nile issues.   
     
    This all happened during a 12-minute haircut.  Wow.  
    I made a point to look at her name-tag while I paid for the haircut, but of course I've forgotten it already.  Hope to get another haircut from her soon.
     
    I'm not quite  ready to give up on the American Dream, with smart kids like this working up thru the system.  I needed this.  
    Hair stylists/cutters/aestheticians are all plants, capable of blowing the cover of any person in the Witness Protection Program.

    About 20 yrs ago, I decided I was sophisticated enough to graduate from Fantastic Sam's to a fancy, real  hair cutting place. The kind where you have to book an appointment and such, according to their schedule. The lady who cut my hair was nice enough, but always seemed to be asking questions, and filing the answers away. She shared way too much info about herself, too (ovulation times, trying to get pregnant, etc). Whereas, my idea of a haircut is - "Please use the #4 guard here, and the #6 guard here. No thanks, I have shampoo at home." Take nap in chair. Wake up. Go home.

    I freaked out one day, when during a haircut, I mentioned that I was going out of town for the weekend, and she said something like " oh, to see your sister? How old are your nieces now?" She knew too much about me. Never went back there. The GreatClips type of places have done a fine job ever since then.

    My dad had a barber that served beer.  It was amazing.  Since I am terrible at planning I just go to Great Clips.  If I flirt they sometimes ring me up as a senior and saves me $3.

    When we lived in Chicago (near Little Italy), there was an older barber gent, who had porn mags in the waiting area. Gave everyone the exact same haircut, no matter what you asked for. Few complained.

    My father's barber had porn magazines too, and he gave the older ones to my father, so I always thought that if I got my hair cut, I'd start getting porn magazines from him too. The problem with all the porn magazines from the barber is the hairs on the pages. You can't tell the upper hair from the lower hair.

    What is a Puffs Souffle?
    « Soufflés » is the french translation of « puffs ».  Cheetos makes hard ones and puffs.  I hate you now because I haven’t eat that for years, it is 3am, I can’t sleep and I just want to drive to the corner store now to get a bag. 🤣😂

    @Botch I went to Great Clips yesterday. I guess I drew the short straw. The young lady that cut my hair was very unattractive and wouldn’t shut up. You would think she was getting paid by the question. She did a decent job on the haircut but I hope she never cuts it again.

    My last cut at Great Clips was when I was in my 20's.  The girl kept talking about how she'd just returned from a cruise with all of her girlfriends, and how much her head hurt she was still so hungover.

    I walked out of there looking like my head had passed through some kind of a buzzsaw.   It was awful. Nothing was straight.  The next day I actually had to go to another place just to get a buzz cut, since I figured there was no way to screw that up.  The older gentleman cutting my hair asked me what happened, I told him about the girl at Great Clips who was hungover from a cruise, and he insisted on giving me the buzz for free.

    Used to go to all male salon. Female barbers. ESPN on every TV. Free beer. Haircuts progressively got more expensive and of poorer quality. Met a real barber. Took a chance. $20 every 4 weeks. It’s been 6 years. He’s one of my good friends since then.

    I bought a Wahl clipper and haven't been to a barber since. It paid for itself the first haircut, not to mention the savings in time.

    yep blue house,  was doing some google and i think this may be the sauce, the tangy is hard cider mixed with cider vinegar added.

    Ok, yes, thank you for this. Finally an interesting conspiracy theory on a bbq forum that shouldn’t rankle anyone.  Please feel free to expand on this if you can.
