There was probably a pretty cool looking fish swimming around in those waters.
Gotta watch out for those rogue waves. Especially in the high seas of ST A beach. The waves are so gnarly I think I’ve seen a surfer surf for about 2.4 seconds straight!!!
Well, exactly why I wasn't worried about wearing them in the water.

That’s why I hang them on the nuts. If I forget to retrieve them, I’m driving around with the coolest balls in Jacksonville.
I didn’t expect you to roll with the truck nuts. I thought you’d dismiss it. Then I’d suggest I recalled seeing a telescope mounted in the bed on a tripod vs the mounted guns you’d see in the Mid East. Either way. It’s cool.
Side note, most men would give their vehicles a feminine name. If they even give it one. No man says “this is my truck, Todd.” It’s either a “ole Betty”, or something of the sorts. Which makes me wonder. Why do they sell truck nuts? Wouldn’t ole Betty have a vagina? Do they sell truck vaginas? Or truck vulvas or clits? Or perhaps areolas for around the headlights? Or would that make the truck less masculine? Somewhere there is a tool bag with an obnoxious lifted truck with the catalytic converter taken off with truck nuts and calls it “Maxine”.

I lost a hat in the same waters for the same reason. With my hat and your sunglasses, yeah, some fish out there is styling and probably spawning like crazy!! Probably has so many fries. Paying lots of fry support.
I bought a pair of Oaks about 5 years ago and paid about $150.. They lasted about 3 weeks cause they broke.
Then I bought a pair of Dollar General $5 specials..
Been wearing them ever since. Can't kill them suckers. Go figure..

Well, then it’s official. I’ll pull out my hacksaw and name my truck Caitlyn. Can I borrow some earplugs?
Seriously though, a telescope on a tripod would look sweet mounted in the back of the Taco! Plus it’ll have you stargazing on the move and in most terrains. If you need a co-driver to make it happen, I know this Asian girl a house or so down that just got her driving license. Like, what could go wrong?
This trend to pronounce the short 'a' as a short 'o'. No, it doesn't make you sound any more intelligent or inclusive.
Do you have any idea, Mr. Weatherman, how idiotic you sound saying Palotka? Perhaps it's snobbish acknowledgement of the elite breeding and education status of Putnam county's finest denizens.

I'm going to springboard off of that a little..
Mickler's Landing or Beach..
I pronounce it how it's spelled.. Mick-ler's, and some people get upset over it.. Don't like it? Change the spelling to fit the way you want it pronounced.. Mikeler's Landing..
I'll pronounce it the way it's spelled for as long as it's spelled that way.. So go have a heart attack..

Apparently the family it’s named after have said it’s pronounced “Mikelers”. Reminds me of that BBC show Keeping up Appearances. Her last name is Bucket but she tells everyone it’s pronounced “Bouquet” to be all fancy schmany!

My last name ventures pretty far from it's spelling as well, makes it easy to weed out telemarketers!

Everyone keeps calling me “Jags”. Ugh. It’s J’ ays. Pronounced Juh-ayes or zchuh ayes
It’s French.
The people who constantly complain about Joe Buck and his commentary.. Jeez.. if you don't like the guy, turn down the volume or change the channel.
Presently annoyed that eBay won't let you use multiple forms of payment for large purchases.
Trying to buy commercial equipment for 9K and my CC only allows max 8K purchase. The offer for 9K is about to expire and return to a 12K price.

Can you call your card company and tell them you need to make a large purchase? Or can you buy ebay gift cards with your different payments?
