To the engineer

Who thought it would be a chortling giggleriot to use pressed in bolts on the exhaust system on the wife’s Escape:

Look: I know you have to make this shit to be assembled by the lowest common denominator on the line. I understand that they can never be expected to use two wrenches, let alone their actual brains. But could you just make the press fit on the bolts such that it will come out without a torch? Or make the bolt heads as soft as the damned bolts?

Just a word to the wise. You’ll want to think about this before you’re duct taped to your couch with your eyes stretched open while I have conjugal relations with your household appliances. No amount of lysol will get those images out of your brain, believe me.

WordPress user bleg:

I have, on the dashboard of WordPress, a section called “incoming links”. Once upon a time, this was filled with people who had linked to me, or my blogposts. For about ever now, it’s just full of bullshit. Does any one know how to get it back the other way? I’m using, I think- 2.0.4

Helped the Oglet with her Chemistry homework last night.

Her Chem teacher is hurried and less than adequately explanatory, so she wanted to spend a bit more time understanding, and I uncovered some still-functioning brain cells that I figured were dessicated lumps of dust on the floor next to the toilet in a seedy motel in San Dimas. Here a guy spends good money on a weekend with the hookers and everclear seeking to burn that shit out of his brain, and those memories turn up forty years later, working like they had never been melon-balled out by a mexican girl named arlene with daisy dukes and a muffintop.
