Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread

Their usage really highlights ketchup's inherent grossness.

[P.D.X.]

I haven't had a bottle of ketchup since the condiment wars of '07.

[brian]

I usually keep a big bottle in the house because it’s the base of my homemade sloppy joe sauce but that’s all it gets used for.

Is Trump still trying to give the stock market a goose with theatrics, because, holy fuck, stop that you big Cheeto, if you are.

[Johnnie]

Multiple times the chow hall here has run out of ketchup. Same with hot sauce and honey. The food is so trash that you need to cover taste with something better.

Recently they've added Carolina Gold BBQ sauce and that shit is the truth. It's really good.

[Steve of phpBB]

You sooooooo don't have kids. If the logic is "get what you'd need to not leave your house for 2+ weeks", ketchup can be key.

It's a condiiment, it's a vegetable, it's facepaint ... it's a miracle in a bottle.

A good friend is an RN who just got sent home because one of her co-workers in her office tested positive. That co-worker is also a school nurse.

Oh, Jesus. So I'm sure she was contagious while still in the school...

[rass]

Yeah... I know the district, but not the school. Not a concern to anyone here, I think.

Great, right by one of the hospitals in my wife's system.

[rass]

Shit.

Not a district that anyone here lives in?

[The Sybian]

Shit.

Not a district that anyone here lives in?

Don't think any Swampers are anywhere near there.

Fuck.

[The Sybian]

And I know how wrong and self-centered it is to think about her system first, but here we are.

I think it’s only wrong if you’re rooting against people, like cheering future revenue.

Since Trump won't allow medicare to cover it, hospitals are royally fucked. With the bill making tests free, I don't know if the government is reimbursing hospitals, if they eat the costs or what.

So as I said previously my kids' school may have a case, so my wife is a little worried and is proactively working from home. Her company has been giving her shit about it even though 99.99999% of work involves conference calls and working on shared documents that can be done from anywhere with WiFi.

Makes no fucking sense.

The fucking key word is “working”. If educational institutions weren’t so worried about litigation, I wonder where my wife and I would be in this crossfire hurricane.

So, the local grocery store sent an email announcing that they will be observing special hours for customers 60 years and older... from 6-7:30am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. How many people under the age of 60 will this change affect?

Of all the businesses inundating me with how they are handling coronavirus, my barbershop's email was so far and away the best, no one else may even qualify for fourth place.

Ohio shut down all hair salons, barber shops, tattoo parlors, spas and other places like that today. Sucks for my buddy, who has a very popular barbershop in Parma.

[brian]

I'm glad I got a haircut last week. It's gonna get out of control, but not nearly as bad as it would have.

[DSafetyGuy]

I have to go to the bank tomorrow to make a deposit of all the extra cash I picked up for work so I can send off a check for the balance.

There will be multiple employees who think I am crazy.

Did I miss something? You reference your barbershop’s email, but did you tell us what it says?

[brian]

Not so nice.

[DaveInSeattle]

[L-Jam3]

I’ve been thinking about that for a few days now. Every major city has an arena, and some have domed stadiums. Since they aren’t going to be used in the near future they would seem like an ideal place to set up a temporary hospital.

[brian]

Seattle isn’t anywhere near peaking so CenturyLink Field might be next.

You probably only serve them homemade.

Wouldn't it hurt who is making the tests and selling to the hospitals and actually ease the burden on hospitals?

I’ve tried. Not good.

Someone explain to me like a big dumb child why a bailout, if one is done, can’t be contingent on a future payback or at minimum escrow account equal to the buyout before any stock buybacks or salaries in excess of $__ are paid?

Cause you don't understand the word "bailout"?


Obviously, that's exactly how it should work - short term influx with the intent of payback. But that would make the industries sad, D!)

It's back to the whole "this is how we've always done it." I still think not letting 1-2 of the really big banks fail back in the day was one of the worst decision ever made.

[brian]

I don’t even mind making the loans interest-free at least for a couple or three years but it shouldn’t be free money for these industries that were raking in cash and using it to buy back their own stock to goose the price.

[sancarlos]

Harrumph, harrumph!

Diaz-Balart said he felt symptoms while voting on the floor in Congress (on the Corona Bill, no less), and McAdams tested positive after returning to Utah, which means he obviously flew, so how many people did he infect on the flight or in the airport?

[brian]

I was doing OK today until I saw this picture.

[P.D.X.]

I do think its fun to go for walks and pretend I'm the omega man.
