Did you also notice that fancy spreads just became another chore? I switched to a basic notebook for grocery lists and it cut my planning time in half.

That "shared tragedy" line is so true. My buddy spent like two weeks hunting down a VHS copy of the End of Evangelion dub back in the day, the really bad one. When he finally got it, five of us crammed into his room to watch it and just yelled at the TV the whole time. It was awful, but we still quote those bad lines at each other. Now that whole thing would just be a ten second clip with a funny sound over it. What was the last show you watched that actually made you stop and talk about it, @the_quinn?

So how does that burger place justify the price?

My buddy Alex stained a desk in his closed garage last year. Got so lightheaded he almost fell off the ladder. His wife found him sitting on the floor looking pale. They had to air the place out for a full day before he could finish.

Exactly! And even with a shop vac, most people don't realize how badly that fine dust can mess up a regular home vacuum's filter.
