I just realized that I wrote in my letter that you didn't complain about your kitchen sink enough. I somehow MISSED your kitchen sink post! I am now revising to say that you complained about it the right amount.

MORE complaints? Sure! How come 99% of single-bowl sinks have the drain in the center or on the right? My pipe out is on the left!

Also forgot to mention my worst injury during the project: pinched my finger when I released the tape measure

I hate tape measure pinches. That definitely needed to be front and center in the story.

I too consider it a failing of the industry that Alfred Molina isn't a playable character in more games. Even if he -didn't- have the performative range to cover so many genres, he would still make an excellent unlockable bonus character or premium outfit in many titles.

A revelation strikes me as I peruse your site: life does not feature quite as many puppets as it really ought to. Thank you for your efforts to rectify this.

It only now occurred to me that you included a Youtube link at the bottom of your home page. Logically I knew beforehand that you must have an Aussie accent, and yet somehow I still wasn't prepared for it.

Forgot I left it on neon green last time I visted your site and instantly got hit with 10 points in psychic damage. I must thank you again for this feature I don't know what I'd do without it

Expectation: "I can probably replace the sink in four hours or so." Reality: Well, looks like we're going into a second day folks...

I thought we could move into a house and renovate a bedroom all in one week... godspeed

Y'all remember when I spent an entire weekend being overly bitter about converting to a static site generator, because I feel like I'm this close to doing that again but about replacing my kitchen sink.

I am here for your bitching about your kitchen sink.

skep's avatar skep 2 months ago

My current bitching is levied towards the people who installed my existing sink as well as the plumbing supply industry. I haven't even started on the sink.

Why yes, I suppose you could say that!

ghostscape's avatar ghostscape 2 months ago

nothing better than bitching about the idiots who did things to your house before you, while proceeding to be the idiot doing things to your house currently

(I mean this in a nice and lighthearted way including myself as a fellow idiot doing things to his house, not the totally unnecessary jab it kinda reads as)
