Lucky you. I learned that my M1A SOCOM 16, the Trijicon TA70 scope mount, and the Trijicon TA648-308 do not work together the way I had hoped they would.
If you were a true rifleman you'd use the iron sights.

Wait till you get a couple DECADES older, your perception might change a bit.

I learned a lot about scotch and Irish Whiskey

I learned a lot more about grilled cheese sandwiches

But I did not learn which whiskey goes best with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Someone lock their keys inside?

Somehow you missed it, check out this thread, about halfway down.

Did not see that thanks rod. Depending on a variety of factors those vans may have actually been at top speed. Many or our vehicles have 55 or 65 mph governors in then.

Two things:
Freshly microwaved mac & cheese is very, very hot.
Eating salt & vinegar flavored chips with a small but fresh 2nd degree burn on your lip is a very bad idea.

Whiskey someone else paid for - that goes best with everything.

Just because you're friend-zoned does not keep your other "friends" from assuming that you're tapping that, and they will gossip accordingly.

Creating South Park avatars for your colleagues is all fun and games until Mr. Garrison looks himself up on Wikipedia.

So go ahead and tap it. If there's going to be gossip about you anyway, it might as well be true.
