Custom Licorice Plates — Seen in the Wild
You might be thinking-- how do I get ‘Custom Licorice Plates’ from ‘Custom License Plates’?!?
Well, I’ll tell you. I saw the first two words and briefly misread them as ‘Custom Licorice’; thinking for a second it was a thread about making your own styles of licorice at home. Which actually sounds like it might be fun to try!
Tornado tourist advice
The proximity to the “experiences with natural disasters” thread may have influenced my misreading there.
Had you heard of Captain Kirk before he was killed?

This one gets me every time:
Widest road you’ve ever been on. Nope; it’s:
There are lots of winding roads, and of course long ones, and certainly narrow and crooked ones, but this one is one of the weirdest I’ve ever encountered. The first time I drove on it, I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Notice how 11th st. simply turns into a parking lot?
Weird.

6 traffic lanes each way is not so huge.
But it being divided into 4 sections, each with two full width shoulders, so 8 shoulders total, makes for a 20-lanewidth roadway. Pretty darn wide I’ll say.

Crosswords and the death of the motorcycle
If all you do is sit around the house doing crossword puzzles, your motorcycle will eventually fall into rusty disrepair.

When in the dinosaur of sequential threads
Could Shalhoub have made use of the One Ring?
Tony Shalhoub? I just picture him trying to clean a smudge off of the ring, although I know that’s just a character he once played.
Elon the useless
I misread that for obvious reasons…
It’s not like it’s rocket science.

Can Al Ever Be Secure?
Who are we talking about? Al Yankovic? Al Pacino? Al Gore? I hope they can all be secure.
Emergency room sticker shock!
“Look, doc, no need for the shock paddles, I’ll get the sticker out with a needle at home, k-bye now”
Could Shelob have made use of an Onion Ring?
For what?
A crunchy, tasty side dish for hobbits.
