Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
We only have a small backyard, so it doesn't take long to mow. The problem is that it's impossible to grow a decent lawn. When we bought the place, it was in rough shape, so we resodded the whole thing. But there's so much wildlife around—squirrels, raccoons, skunks, groundhogs—that it didn't take long to get beaten up again. Seriously, that first summer with the new sod, every morning a section would be rolled up. I still reseed it a couple times a year, but it's minimally effective. My guess is that next year we'll get rid of the grass and install stones and flower beds.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
A female coworker was talking about how she spoils her dog. She jokingly said she only feeds it filet mignon and champagne. I nearly said "Now I wanna be your dog". But as she is much younger and enjoys different music and wouldn't get the reference I bit my tongue.

Oh for sure, the thing is it was such a seemingly natural response to what she said. It's one of those things where someone will say something and it just triggers a song lyric response.

Honest to Pete, I never worked in a place that screwed up my paycheck more than my current employer. JFC!!
