So I’m looking at the scroll bar on the right side of my screen and twitch my eyes left to the scrolling thread titles and just for a second I read “Bathroom remodel… advice needed” as “Butthole removal… advice needed.” (I had just read [this](https://soranews24.com/2018/04/06/butt-detective-tv-anime-is-exposed-for-the-first-time-in-video-preview%e3%80%90video%e3%80%91/) article and it must have been influencing my mind.)

I can’t tell if he wants to _use_ a car strut bar, or if he thinks the butt hole enlargement technology is transferable to car struts. 😕

Another forum has a thread titled **Texas GOP Endorses Cannabis Decriminalization**.
