Riding behind the guy that bought his cycling jersey one size too small and he doesn't wear bibs.  :nono:
Whats the issue??

Exposed skin. Shirt is too high and shorts are too low. Considering that bike jerseys are designed longer in the back than front, this should never happen.At least with a bib, you don't see any skin.  Lucky for me the guy was skinny so no but crack.

Helping a friend scrolling through the ads on kijiji for a used car.  Local Toyota dealer has all kinds of used Corollas listed, but they don't actually have the cars.  Also, on the lot they have a used Outback, partly and badly repaired from an accident (bumper still has holes in it, trim on the side is peeling off).

Suggests to me that the management of the dealership is sloppy and doesn't care.  If you don't have the car, take the listing off.  And if you're trying to sell a car for top dollar, at least fix it enough to look decent.  This crap wouldn't fly at a half-assed used car lot, I'm surprised at how bad this place has become.

Well you asked for it!  Sucking back a Cresmore after being discharged from the hospital.
Ouch...that looks like a good one!

Those YouTube ads for the Volvo XC60:  if you're a clueless twit with an a, and don't pay any attention to your driving, this car's for you.

Found a short Phillips head sheet metal screw, light abrasion on head, stuck in a tread block at a 45 degree angle. Carefully backed it out using a Phillips screwdriver, with no audible hiss. Maybe I got lucky? Dribbled some "spit" onto the area, and no bubbles. Hooray! Drove to work, and eight hours later at 11pm tonight, flat tire. Phooey!!!!, or words to that effect.

Wanted to take my kids to the drive-in this weekend when we go camping, there is a drive in nearby.  Legend of Tarzan, and Central Intelligence are playing.  You would think they would have one G rated, or even PG rated playing at a drive in on the long weekend.  Like the BFG (big friendly giant), or finding Dory.

You can buy expansion foam with warfarin for that purpose.

Trailer showed it as PG-13.  Not sure if that's the US rating or what.  But from the trailer, looks too violent for kids 6 and under.

But then you'll have a bunch of rotting squirrel carcasses in your attic.  :P

I guess the trick is to block the hole when you're sure they're outside.

I only looked real quick, but it looks like the 5 Drive-in right near you (9th line and Dundas) has some kid movies....Dory & Alice. http://www.5drivein.com/
