> [@lindsaybluth](#): > > Not to get too off topic, but you MUST watch Parks & Recreation if you aren’t already doing so. It’s been renewed for another season but is always on the cusp. I highly recommend it. Were you in the thread recommending 24? If so IT’S AWESOME but like others said, I don’t think I’ll watch beyond season 3.

Yes, really. If you can think of something more interesting than an uncomplicated real-estate transaction, I’d love to hear it. ---

Most people probably fart a dozen more interesting things before they finish their morning coffee. My boss is a semi-self-made rich guy. Meaning, he was born on second, made it to third on a sacrifice fly, and likes to think that he hit a triple. One of his more annoying habits is to start every other sentence with “You know what’s interesting is that…” whenever he talks (at length) about his rich guy hobbies/problems. “You know what’s interesting is that with a Black Card, you get a toll-free concierge number for your exclusive use.” “You know what’s interesting is that my the ILS on my private plane can probably land the thing without any human intervention.” “You know what’s interesting about my house is that despite being in one of the wealthiest an most exclusive neighborhoods in the city, there’s a little dive bar a couple of doors down that makes it hard to park on the street sometimes.” ---

I gassed up my car today without my Kroger card to get an extra 10 cents off. Make it rain! ---

I had to take the tires off mine and balance it on cinderblocks in the front yard–I’d’ve sold my sister for a nice car hole. ---
