I have a bomb in my kitchen

I have a plastic container of "milk" that has an expiration date of 12/07 in my fridge.

I wonder if the George Foremans have this problem.

My husband and his brother have the same first and last names. This has become a big problem with a hospital bill, and I need you guys’ advice on what to do next.

If I could think of a witty title, I wouldn't have to be wasting a question.

I need a cute catchphrase for a gift I'm giving.

Should I be hiring a patent lawyer?

Why did my casserole just shock me?

I have something to tell you--you'd better put down the nitro.

A common movie/tv trope is that people drop whatever they are holding (usually something that crashes impressively) when they hear shocking news. Does this occur in "real life"? I can't recall this ever occurring to me personally. You?

If we can survive the honeymoon, the actual marraige should be a breeze.

Road-trip filter. I am in the process of planning a rather ambitious honeymoon. He and I are canoeing in the Boundary Waters area of Minnesota for a week, which is exciting enough, but we are also planning to drive there. From Mississippi. And tent camping on the way.

What happened to me at Gröna Lund?

In 1987 I visited a friend in Sweden and we went to the amusement island Gröna Lund. As he shopped at a kiosk, I leaned in to hear the pitch, and began suffering an odd symptom.

Jack Sprat (and his wife) go camping

Anybody have any ideas for good raingear for a tall-and-skinny man?

Level with me, I can take it

My significant other and I are having an ongoing arguement about leveling our 80 year-old house.

It's getting hot in here, so take off...aw, hell, no!

Are my co-workers and I being pansies? I work for a financial institution in Mississippi. When I got to work this morning, the air conditioning was out (probably due to a storm last night). The temp today was 96 degrees, with a heat index of 105.

Or is it the "Redneck Riviera" for hubby and me?

I am interested in the hive mind's ideas on how to either rent a car with terrible credit, or ways to get to and travel in deep woods Minnesota without renting said car.

Or will you have to kill me if you tell me?

ParanoiaFilter: Several years ago I was riding down a Southern interstate and I was passed by a convoy of five or so SUVs. Everything except the front windows on the bodies was covered with what appeared to be black padding. No license plates that I could see. They gave me the sense of being military, but what the heck was the padding all about?

Can anyone recall this comedian?

I am looking for a particular comedian. I saw this guy, on HBO, perhaps, about 15 years ago. His comedic style was extremely dry, and his one prop was a martini glass.
