which shows how dumb that "Lady Antebellum" band was to change their name.
How does that show that it was dumb? Before the civil war was slavery. Can't blame them for moving away from that association.

I was thinking about this last week, and I've liked all my cars where the gas cap was on the passenger side and disliked all the others. Maybe putting it on the driver's side is a GM / Toyota thing?

I had to check this one out since trash bags being inside out was news to me . . . Per Snopes, it is not true.

Tin foil hasn't been around for many years. I bet you're talking about aluminum foil.

That's not unusual for people not from Baton Rouge. Did you know that "valley" to the west/Southwest of Highland Road use to be the Mississippi River bed?


Also the so called "bottoms" in Baton Rouge got the name because it was Mississippi river swamps. Some think it is related to slums.

There's a partition on every package of bacon you can press and twist and it opens the packaging and closes to keep it sealed, easy once you realize it.

I've always heard that "you can sue a ham sandwich." I always thought this was just hyperbole until we actually elected an orange piece of shite POTUS.

Right? I grew up listening to “give me one reason” in the grocery stores and on the radio and always thought, “that is one Smooth dude.”
