OFFICIAL THREAD about "NOTHING"

[mraynrand]

I'm 25 songs deep into the You Tube channel and still haven't heard a dud. Never my favorite band, but man were they good at making a pop record.

Ric Ocasic was 75. Dude was a hero:



I used Cars songs for almost every different running workout in high school and college. Long slow distance "Bye Bye Love" "Moving in Stereo" what they now call tempo runs "Gimmie some slack" (and almost anything off Panorama) and race pace intervals, half mile and mile competitions: "Getting Through" "Don't cha stop" and "Candy-O." I still pace to the Cars and Blondie. Ric was the weird quirky guy and Benjamin Orr was the 'smolder guy" lol. Enough random thought. Wait, one more:

Lot of great songs on those albums, but PB, if you get to "This could be Love" on the 'Shake it up" album, be prepared for the crazy synth solo. Shocking.

Saturday morning cartoons lied to me...

It’s all I can do.

That was the song that got me running everyday while going through my divorce. Got me in the best shape of my life.

A 4:33 per mile pace? Holy shit!

A 4:33 per mile pace? Holy shit!

Yeah no kidding right? My PR in high school was 4:45. 4:33 is “I can’t comprehend pace.” Plus the guy wasn’t even winded at the end. He’s a machine!

Insane...but an asterisk next to it though.

Ryan Newman’s team shares this photo of the driver at Halifax Health with an amazing update. #Daytona500





Newman also said: "Once I get out of here I am finding the fucker who rear-ended me and I'm going to beat the living hell out of him with an aluminum bat."

I would imagine that if you could understand Morse code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.

Every book is a children's book if the kid can read!

I bought a scratch-off ticket, but then I accidentally spilled some cortizone cream on it, so it did not need to be scratched.

Mowed lawn today; shopping for the fam; visited mom. I feel like the day was a success. Now tomorrow, I'm not doing shit and I'm going to strive to fail

I make good money; my wife has a non profit business. She has a nice auto. I drive a piece of shit.

I'm pondering buying a used Pilot. Any thoughts ??

I love our 2016. Best car ever. We just sold our 2004 Mazda 6 and bought my in-laws Honda Odyssey. My wife is driving it now and very much misses driving the Pilot. I am extremely confident you won't regret it.

Should I add a second story to our ranch house? Does this ever NOT end in disaster? We love where we live and don't really want to move, not to mention there are no lots to really build near us in Pewaukee and stay in the school district anyway. We for sure need more space.
