Oh man Dave was totally right, templates saved my sanity too.

Man, I had a buddy who swears the movie version of Jurassic Park fixed something from the book. He told me in the novel, the T-Rex just kind of wanders around and gets loose without any real explanation, but in the movie they show it pulled through the fence during the storm. He said that always bugged him as a kid reading it, like why didn't they just lock the gate better. When the movie came out he was so relieved they actually showed the cause.

...and then I realized I spent $40 to save money on things I probably shouldn't have bought in the first place. But hey, 2x fuel points got me a full tank for under twenty bucks, so I guess I'm winning the game they designed for me to lose. I bet Kroger is laughing all the way to the bank while I'm over here celebrating a dollar off gas like I just hacked the system.

Oh man, that magnet set sounded like a great idea until it wasn't. I had the same thing happen with one of those cheap magnetic pickup tools from an auto parts store, the magnet literally fell off inside an engine bay and I had to fish it out with wire. Now I just stick with a stubby flex-head ratchet and a prayer (and maybe a drop of tape to hold the socket).

My buddy Kevin did this at a cookout last summer with a bag of spicy chili chips and a whole tub of ranch. He was bragging about his "dip game" and then took a huge bite. His face went from proud to confused real quick. He tried to play it off but I saw him spit it into a napkin when he thought nobody was looking. The texture gets all weird too, like clumpy and grainy. I told him the vinegar is the problem but he said he "likes the tang." Dude literally ruined his whole appetite.
