I mean, he kind of targeted me a little more than most. But I didn't want to literlly break his balls.

(For the record, he never wanted kids anyway and I've really apologized and we're pretty okay).

Was it an actual fight or the result of a sliding tackle that connected studded boot to groin?

The latter. It was a comedy/tragedy of errors that ended with us in a three guy pile-up. I still felt bad.

He was fine. Got a yellow card is all. The rest of us chaps got smashed balls or long-lasting guilt. It wasn't really anybody's fault (or, it was everybody's fault), we just kind of coordinated a strike and a block poorly.

A private equity firm calling themselves that is like Henry Kissinger bragging about being Nobel Peace Prize recipient... wait a sec.

Today i learned not all the car's Warning Icons are listed in my owner's manual. The one for "Your Hybrid Engine has an ISSUE" had to be looked up via Google.

See HoS for the whole story. I ranted there how Life Fucked Me again.

TIL that at least one, probably more, of the old (Sean Connery) Bond films had their screenplays written by one Roald Dahl. Definitely not what I expected while skipping through the opening credits of "You Only Live Twice."
