Nope. Toof. Singular.

He has a front tooth. Where most of the rest of us have two upper front teeth, co-captains of the mouth, he has one right there in the middle.

I don’t have a problem with Tom Cruise as an actor, but ever since my daughter pointed it out, I can’t help staring at his tooth.

US parents only last for 20 years.

Jeez, I’m way past my warranty. Almost at 27 years.

…the game ends and we all head home because we have to get up early for work tomorrow.

Which is how they got their ass handed to them in the European Union when they went after Supermac’s and lost.

I’m going to disqualify your second scam on a technicality: it’s part of the first one.

My wife is no longer hostile to the idea of me owning guns.

I still don’t have any other than two collectors pieces that shouldn’t ever be fired except as a last resort, only one of which still has ammunition manufactured for it.

I was out with friends from work and this recipe came up (I added it to our wiki at work under the oncall issues page).

Whenever it is brought up, I have to make it or I never stop thinking about it.

The recipe was handed down from my grandmother through my mother, but we could never get the white cheddar cheese sauce to work right. My wife figured out what we had to do, and now it’s easy.

Personally, I’m of the opinion that they aren’t fashionable if they are ripped to be fashionable.

Ripped jeans are supposed to be the pants that you wore until they started to come apart, and you’re supposed to be wearing them because they are comfortable, not for looks.

Greatest comfort food recipe ever:

Mac, Cheese, Peas, and bacon.

The recipes online are all nonsense. They either mix the bacon in or put it under the mac and cheese!

White cheddar cheese sauce with macaroni. That goes into the casserole dish.

A layer of peas on top of the mac & cheese.

2 pounds of bacon cooked crispy and crumbled on top of the peas. From the top you shouldn’t see anything but bacon.

Put it in the oven and cook it till it starts bubbling.

Last Monday we made sausage and spinach strombolis. 1/2 hot & 1/2 mild Italian sausage, chopped frozen spinach (thawed and drained), mozzarella and parmigiana cheese. Brown the sausage, cool it, mix with the spinach and cheese, wrap individually into single-serving strombolis. Roughly three pounds of sausage makes 12 strombolis.

We’ve been eating them every day since Monday and had the last two yesterday.

I wouldn’t make it every day, but only because a recipe makes 12. However, I wanted to make it again after six days of eating them so I could eat them for another six days.

When it works correctly, IT makes it possible to do more with less.

I’ve noticed over the years that IT jobs aren’t the first to disappear when the economy tanks.

There are exceptions, of course. Stupid employers. Ineffective IT people. Sometimes just a shift of focus: if a division goes away, you no longer need the IT staff who supported it

An intelligent employer understands that talented IT people can let them maintain productivity with fewer staff or increase productivity with the same staff.

Unless they filmed a flashback to when I was killed, nothing.

I’d point out that taking responsibility for your actions doesn’t necessarily mean fixing them on your own.

It’s often more difficult (and more adult) to acknowledge that you’ve dug a hole for yourself that you can’t escape from on your own and ask for help.

Saying this as the parent of young adult children that are adulting well, but still need to ask for help. Also as the old adult child of my parents who must still force himself to ask them for help.

One big sign is when you stop demanding to be treated like an adult and just start being one.

Being an adult is just a decision you make one day.

Years ago my older brother was on the phone complaining to me because our mom found out he bought a motorcycle and was mad at him and my dad (who helped him pick it out).

He wanted to know why my mom thought she could treat him like a child.

I pointed out that when he decided to get a motorcycle and kept it secret from our mom, he was acting like a child and enabling her to treat him like one.

I have no interest in ever owning a motorcycle. However, if I ever did, it would never occur to me to keep it secret from anybody, because I’m an adult in charge of my own life. Everyone else can have opinions, but I get to decide whose opinions matter to me.

It existed as more than an idea in the late 1800s, because it is referenced in the US Constitution in 1787.

It looks like the concept was established earlier:

Intellectual Property

I was doing IT 30 years ago.

Back then you’d post a question on USENET and get an answer back from the guy who wrote the program you were asking about.

My go to.

Sounds like Twice Baked Potatoes.

My mom used to make them. My wife does too.

To be extra fancy, use a piping bag with a star tip when you fill them.
