This is not really something I’ve encountered, but I suppose it’s fun to think about things that are going to piss me off.

In the coming months and even years, I’ll likely be telling more and more Grandpa Sammy stories.
It must’ve been sometime in the late 1980’s or early 90’s — My grandpa parked the car across the street from a 7-11. With my sister and I (us kids) waiting in the car, Sammy asked us if we [...]

Wow. All within one day……
First I’m picking up pizza at this place in Van Nuys, CA. I look up at the menu in the place, and realize they don’t offer baked ziti. I ask the employee there, “Do you guys make baked ziti?” He looks at me as if I’m speaking a different language. “What’s [...]
