CC Random thread

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Yup, I have to constantly make adjustments on where to hide shit. They got those sensors.

Corporate salami slicing for profits at its finest. Also, compare ingredients to what food used to be.

Processed food was bad back then, but anything real is now cut back even further and replaced with even more chemicals. Is it even chocolate anymore?

I guess be glad that there's less poison you are ingesting.

I really don't have a sweet tooth at all, so candy, chocolate, etc., doesn't interest me. I use my garage for woodwork projects and having the odd beer.

I wanted to use my garage for a proper home gym and workspace.

We got the rubberized gym floor matting installed. Then the wife put all her shit on top of it.

Finally reorganized it and I bought a decent weight bench and weights……and she put her shit on top of that.

I finally gave up.

The garage is my space. I used to have a huge garage when I was in the country (30 x 50), so lots of room for everything. Now I have a 24 x 30 garage, but 1 less vehicle, so I have a decent sized shop area and I'm always building something.

Your first mistake was not establishing sovereignty over the garage. Once you put fancy mats down it's only a matter of time before she gravitates I to your and starts hanging shit on the walls.

I've got an old TV on wall up high, my old Harman Kardon amp belting out either mullet music or country, a very comfortable yet slightly stinky old couch in middle, fridge full of bevvies and a big fucker of an air compressor.

When she starts thinking about shit she might like to do in my garage i just fire up the compressor and loosen up the bleed off a tad so it never stops.

I don't know why but women hate air compressors

When we emptied my parents house after my mom passed away, I think I found like a dozen half eaten chocolate bars in different places in the garage. Apparently my father would forget where he had hidden them. Or that he had hidden them.
Or half eaten... it was usually a two pack, where he had eaten one and then saved the other for later. And obviously forgot about it.

There were also four or five weed whackers. When my father ran out of string, he bought a new one.

A brilliant mathematician and quite good chess player. Also did track and field when younger, best at hurdles but also ran 100, 200 and 400 flat.
But not very handy with tools and such. He taught physics as well, but despite this not very technically enclined.
