Fun Facts

FF.

The McDonald's in Bangkok is only open from 10a.m. to 5a.m.

AnJ, thanks! Resetting my GPS!

Chezde,

There are now 4 THs in NJ - Hazlet, Newark, Raritan and Stockholm. Not sure if that helps. And no way are we counting or anxious to get one close by or anything.

TimBits serve as currency, weaponry, and drain plugs in the frozen north.

Did someone mention TimBits? The only T.H. in NJ is about an hour from me.

I do have a connection tho, so every now and then I am able to "get some" :-)

;-*

FF: More people have walked on the moon than have scored an earned run on Mariano Rivera in 96 post season appearances.

Definitely deserving of induction into the HOF.

Michael Vale (June 28, 1922 – December 24, 2005) was an American character actor famous for being the longtime sleepy-eyed mascot "Fred the Baker" for donut chain Dunkin' Donuts, with his famous catchphrase "Time to make the donuts." He was featured for 15 years until he retired in 1997, having done more than 1,300 television commercials. Vale also reprised the role for commercials for the short-lived Dunkin' Donuts Cereal. He died of complications from diabetes at age 83 in Manhattan at New York-Presbyterian

After the cashier told me that I remembered having one a month or so prior that was ice cold. All the Dunkin Doughnuts around here have big walk in freezers but no friers.

The local Krispy Kreme does have friers.

I'll stick with the local mom n pop doughnut shops

Died in his sleep?

There were some pissed off DD customers out there on Route 9 that morning... No crullers!

all the dunkins stores around here get their donuts from a donut factory every morning and whats left at end of day go in the trash

Do you remember the "Time to make the Doughnuts" commercial from Dunkin Doughnuts? I walked in one a few months ago and asked for a French Curler. They told me none came in on the truck this week. I suddenly realized, as I looked around and didn't see a frier, that Dunkin Doughnuts doesn't make their doughnuts in store anymore. At best your buying a "Day Old Doughnut".

"Do you or anyone you know ever say that their kid is normal or not especially bright?"... JSMH

I do know some kids who say their parents are not especially bright.

Both of my kiddos are ADHD to the max, they apparenrly inherited it from me. My second kiddo is also extremely high functioning autistic. Both of them are considered 2E.

Is that not your experience too? Do you or anyone you know ever say that their kid is normal or not especially bright?

I understand why parents want to brag about their kids. But it defies logic that everyone's kid is above average, and if a parent is forced to concede that their kid isn't the next Isaac Newton than they pin it on a learning disability, real or confabulated.

I have described to a few people that our son is definitely above average, but our daughter is normal or possibly very slightly below, like an IQ of 95. Bear in mind that about 40% of the population you see walking around every day are about this level, and it's pretty normal. But people act as if anyone with an IQ below 135 is basically Forrest Gump, and it just isn't true.

Fun Fact #1: Only around 2% of kids are "gifted" or especially advanced.

Fun Fact #2: Almost every parent I've ever known seems to have kids that are gifted or advanced. Or at least they say they do.

(notice nobody ever says "yeah my kid's pretty much an average everyday dumbass?)

Fun Fact:

In 1976 radio host Neal Boortz was fielding calls about possible Democrat hopefuls to challenge Gerald Ford in the presidential election. A caller suggested Jimmy Carter.

Neal Boortz laughed at the caller and told him “It will snow in Nassau [Bahamas] before Jimmy Carter is sworn in as President of the United States.”

Well, on Jan. 19, 1977, it snowed in Nassau (and Miami). The very next day, Jimmy Carter became president.

Every time I see the words "Tech Support" I think of Tom Cruise's breakdown in Vanilla Sky... with his life completely disintegrated, he shouts at the sky "TECH SUPPORT!!!!"

Sometimes when I feel a little overwhelmed with work and life I want to just yell out "TECH SUPPORT!!"

For those who saw the deleted thread and are wondering if what I was saying was true. This is from page 10 in the WTF thread 232 days ago.

Profile Review wrote "Profile edits have never been reviewed. When you edited an existing profile it would immediately go live. As of today, all profile edits will now go through an approval process, which may take up to 48 hours. All new forum threads and Hot Date postings are also going through an approval process."

There were also "Approval Tests" run by a few members that can be found on page 4 of the Open Forum Main page.

Next town over from us, Lakewood (NJ) has one of the largest Orthodox populations (a top Yeshiva is locates here) and since December, there has been an outbreak of measles that county health officials have been trying to get under control. I wouldn’t be surprised with the growth of anti-vaxxers if this doesn’t start to be commonplace. This might be the true American crisis.

Fun Fact #1: In 2000, measles was declared eliminated from the United States, meaning an absence of endemic measles transmission for 12 months or longer. In fact, there were only 66 cases in the entire western hemisphere that year.

Fun Fact #2: Since September 2018, New York state health officials have seen approximately 170 measles cases to include 55 confirmed cases in the Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, 105 cases in Rockland County, 7 in Orange County and one in Monroe County in western NY.

Good... grief...

...unless Mrs SOTW needs to calibrate the new device. In that case, don't go away at all...

8-)

SOTW, please go away... KIbbs seems to have a handle on things ;-)

FYI. I saw a measuring tool in Profile Review. It seemed impressive at first, then I noticed that it didn't start at 0.

Introducing the NEW Ron-Co penis measuring tool, "You too could have an 8 inch cock, with the Ron-Co Cock measuring tool. Just start with 8 at the tip and it zeros out at....well...where ever...."

I will make MILLIONS!!"

Kibbs,

I like the way you improvise.
