Who knows? Maybe they're better at soccer than baseball.

I thought things considered dietary staples were exempt from sales tax, as the tax would then be onerous to subsistence level incomes.

At least the cashier covered the tax for you.

We're pretty sure there are dimensions we cannot measure, some say 23 dimensions in all.

Obligatory Deep Thought, by Jack Handey:

What are all these "other dimensions" I keep hearing about? To me, there's only one dimension worth anything, and that's the good ol' U. S. of A.

One small thing that really annoys the shit out of me is that when you loot something (body, animal, herb, whatever) you almost never face the same way when you come back up. I.e. if you are facing east when you go to skin an animal you won't be facing the same way when you are done.

I totally agree with this. After I've killed a pack of wolves or a dozen buffalo, I usually have there locations or at least the next one to skin mapped out according to my facing before I start skinning. Then I get done and I'm facing my horse. At least they put little x's on the radar so you know where the corpses are.

And now all I need to find and kill are an eagle, a duck and a seagull, then I'll have killed one of every animal available for slaughter.

As for the minor "Help me!" missions, my least favorite is the "They're about to hang my $relative", especially when it happens while I'm trying to get somewhere before quitting the game. They're usually well out of the way and I never could save anyone. I never remembered to use dead eye to shoot the rope. And now that I'm used to using that game mechanic no one is lynching anyone anymore.

Umm, you don't have to actually type "uh" when you think it.

Does this happen to hold true for "Umm" as well?

Off topic. BUt wouldn't your sig be more accurate if it said "stabbed" instead of shot?

Maybe they already posted this story, but I am too lazy to go check

Like that's stopped them in the past. This is Slashdot after all.

I've spent more time wandering around killing rattlesnakes, rabbits, skunks, armadillos, coyotes, racoons, deer, birds, horses, and crows than doing missions.

Probably Inoperative and Deferred Maintenance Item. Both of which are probably bad for airplane parts.

Maybe?

They become ravenous aphid destroying machines. Watching them work on a patch of aphids is almost as much fun as feeding ant lions. Although with the ant farm history you might not be too keen on feeding ant lions.
