PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Most recently, I've been trying out this smartphone app called Coffee Meets Bagel; My cousin told me about it...

I am not going to lie; One thing I love about it is that a lot of the users are attractive Asian women within my preferred age range! Unfortunately, none of the Asian women I've "liked" have returned the favor...

CmB will not let you communicate with anybody unless you've "liked" each other, and only woman I've really chatted with is taking things annoyingly slow; She's 36 and very attractive, but we've been chatting for a month and she won't even give me her Facebook info or cell phone number!

I am sorry to say this, and I am even more sorry if I sound rude, but I do not go on dating sites to make friends! I've got plenty of friends, both male and female! I want a romantic relationship!

 

The realtor selling my Grandma's house in Bethlehem not only drives a Tundra TRD PRO, but is quite hot! Unfortunately, she's married...

 

As many of my viewers know, I've developed a renewed interest in the Disney cartoon series Recess. It came out when I was 8 years old, literally right before I started third grade; I have a Disney+ subscription, and most of the episodes plus the 2001 movie and two other specials are available there, so that's where I've been watching it.

@El Duderino has recently introduced his daughter to it through Disney+, and he said he enjoyed it as a kid too. He specifically said that he hated Randall Weems, the school snitch; Everybody hated Randall because, well, he was the school snitch!

I was watching some old episodes last night, and this morning I had the theme song stuck in head when I walked out to my truck!

 

This story addresses two issues I have...

The first issue is how little sympathy I have for paint huffers and glue sniffers...

The second issue is how much I hate the checkout counters at the Home Depot in Warrington!

My coworker and I drove over to Home Depot to buy some stuff, specifically a spreader, some rock salt, a can of gold spray paint, and dust masks...

The spreader and bags of salt are obviously for treating the icy parking lot and sidewalks around our office building; The spray paint is for painting a gold metal stand, and the mask was for me to wear while doing the painting...

This Home Depot has recently switched entirely to automated checkouts; More often than not, there is not one employee around! So, my coworker scanned the can of paint and it immediately wouldn't let him complete the transaction because, well, enough people are using spray paint for nefarious reasons that they've ruined it for those of us who buy it for legitimate reasons!

So, we had to wait a couple minutes for an employee to show up, and my coworker who is 21 had to show his driver's license; What annoyed my coworker the most was that due to the automated checkouts, time was wasted...

 

@HomerTaco

Have any of the Home Depots you manage switched entirely to automated checkout kiosks? For small purchases, the kiosks don't bother me terribly; What annoys me about the automated kiosks is that they are still very glitchy! The ones at supermarkets are the absolute worst, because they will lock up and start screaming at you if you don't place your groceries in the bag, or if you remove the back and place it in the cart too early. The scanner guns at the Warrington Home Depot are pretty cool, but the process would be a lot more efficient if they had at least one employee there to speed up the process and unlock the system when someone bought an "age restricted" item.

 

Something similar happened to me at a Giant in Bethlehem; I found a reasonably priced DVD copy of Made in America on the movie rack! This was right before my dad bought the Yukon (which has a BluRay player), so I was still buying regular DVDs. I scanned the movie, which is rated R, and the computer locked up, telling me I need staff assistance; Translation: This movie is rated R, so to make sure that minors don't buy it, we've locked the system so we can come over to make sure you aren't underage!

Considering that kids as young as 12 read Playboy, and kids not much older than that routinely access porn on the internet, I hardly think it would be a huge travesty if a kid under the age of 16 got their hands on a copy of American Made; My parents let me watch the The Terminator when I was 14, and shocker, nothing bad happened!

So, a female employee came over, and I prepared to give her my "You had better not card me if you don't want me to walk out and leave my items at the checkout" look. It did not come to that; she smiled at me and bypassed the lockout.

 

@HomerTaco

As I've said many times before, I am beyond satisfied with the grille I bought from you almost three years ago!

However, after not only asking the opinions of some people I know but also staring at the front of my truck for an incredibly long time, I have determined that my truck looks great with the "blank" mesh; In my opinion, adding mesh that says "TOYOTA" or "TACOMA" would clutter up the front of my truck. I've decided to leave my truck as-is!

If I ever buy another truck and decide put a grille on it, you will be the first person I call!

 

I think I'm gonna hit 24K messages tonight!

 

I just realized that Randall Weems from Recess looks quite a bit like Randall Boggs from Monsters Inc. (both Disney)…





I do not believe that this is a coincidence!

 

I recently had to block an old friend high school friend (who lives out of state and who it's probably been 12 years since I've seen in person as of this post) from seeing my future Facebook posts...

Why? It's not because she actually did any thing wrong, but because she is still friends with another girl who used to be my friend; I blocked the other girl on Facebook and cut all contact with her because she has been rather rude to me in the past, and because she is just plain obnoxious...

The girl I totally blocked still lives in Pennsylvania, but from what I've heard she relocated and moved about two hours from where I live; The other girl who I am still friends with found a few of the memes I posted on my Facebook page funny, and was sharing them with the girl who is totally blocked. The blocked girl would in turn start hounding the girl who lives out of state to talk to me about unblocking her because she herself has no way of communicating with me.

When I told the first girl that I had no plans of ever unblocking the second girl, she went apeshit, started saying all these mean things about me, and further proving to me that she needs to remain blocked. The first girl agreed with me, but she is one of those types who seems to have no life outside of Facebook and will stalk the pages of her friends until she finds a funny meme; I blocked her from viewing all of my future posts after the second time she shared a meme with the second girl because, quite frankly, I don't trust her not to share my posts with the second girl and start this nonsense up again.

Social media drama at it's absolute finest; Makes you realize who your friends REALLY are!

 

Still some residual unmelted snow leftover in the bed from last Saturday...

Did I tell you about the time I was shopping at the Acme supermarket near the place we ate, and an old woman couldn’t find what she was looking for, so she reached into my cart and took it?

I was nice to her because she was an old lady who clearly had dementia or something, but I firmly demanded that she give it back; She was utterly confused as to why I was making her give the food to me, but she gave it back. I forget what exactly it was, but I was shopping for the kitchen at Puck.

 

I spotted this 1998 Land Rover Discovery in the parking lot of a supermarket in Warminster; I still think the older Discos are pieces of suit, but I have never seen one in this color combo!

I think it’s absolutely beautiful in green with the beige leather!

However, it’s still a Land Rover Discovery, which is probably one of the worst SUVs ever made! I know it’s a 1998 model because it a “50 Years: 1948-1998” sticker in the back window...

 

Because cold weather sucks.

Nice Star Wars decal, where's your Star Wars tattoo?

 

Don't let that stop you, the age thing. My wife is 13 years older than me.

Can always adopt children if you want to down the line.....

 

I think body art is very cool, but getting ink myself is NOT my think...

 

I don't think a 40-year old woman with a mortgage, and two kids from two separate fathers, is going to want more kids whether they're adopted or not!

 

Wow, that's messed up.

 

The nursing home bus drops people at the supermarket who shouldn’t be by themselves, and this is the result...

 

I have met 2 different chicks on POF, slept with 1 so batting 50%, lol.
