Official Gramps' Memorial Eternal OT Thread

My least favorite thing currently is when they get lip work done that swells them up 2 or 3 times.

I don't mind work if it looks natural, but most don't know when to stop.
When I first joined VN I was at the thread that never dies. A woman mentioned she had a little enhancement done. I told her God doesn't make mistakes and if someone just likes you for your breast size or shape tell them to go to hell.

Just got word from our partner who builds reactor skids and desiccant driers, that a dairy-based project we've been working on for several months just became a real job...

This is where cow farts are collected and compressed and the methane cleaned up and concentrated into pipeline quality renewable natural gas. My company has contributed the design of a catalytic converter to remove the O2 which is done with a precious metal type catalyst (platinum and/or palladium on alumina).

It's relatively small compared to some of the landfill gas projects, but still worthwhile. And I believe it will be our first reference on a dairy gas.

EDIT: actually the gas is generated in a lagoon where cow manure is decomposing under water...

Double whammy on my hate for Texas and lawyers.

Looks like we're getting sued because of a wreck one of our trucks was involved in about 3-4 weeks back just south of Dallas. Idiot in a pickup played the "oh crap that's my exit game" and lost, whipped it across 2 lanes and clipped the front bumper of our truck. Guy was cited for illegal lane change, had no insurance suspended license and expired tags yet he's able to find a lawyer to file suit.

Unfortunately, there's a Jim Adler in just about every corner of the state.
 
A guy is driving around the back woods of Tennessee and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house:

Talking Dog for Sale

He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Yep," the Lab replies.

After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says "So, what's your story?"

The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA and they had me sworn into the toughest branch of the armed services ... The United States Marine Corps... You know one of their nicknames is "The Devil Dogs."

In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders; because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.

I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running, but the jetting around really tired me out and I knew I wasn't getting any younger.

So, I decided to settle down. I retired from the Corps (8 dog years is 56 Corps years) and signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in."

"I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

"Ten dollars," the guy says.

"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

"Because he's a liar! He never did any of that crap. He was in the Navy!"
 
Ok.... the backstory here is the father found out the two boys had been stealing. Please take a look at the video and provide your thoughts and opinions on the father’s actions
