Below is the actual scale Bucky used. The 1/3 counterweight was probably just misplaced years earlier.

At least I stuck to the 1/4 ounce measurement kids understand.

My mom is one of those people who always answer the phone, no matter what the number is, because "it might be important." I think tonight is the 3rd time in the last 18 months I've had to go help her cancel her credit cards and change passwords. Pretty sure if my 5 year old nephew called pretending to be from Amazon, she'd believe him. Tonight's caller was real because "he gave me his Amazon badge number". FML

On the deli front. I generally just order in quarter pound increments, but I get where CFP is coming from here and fully approve of his usage

My parents still have a house phone. When I go over there to visit, they always seem to be mad when someone calls from an unknown number. I tell them not to pick up, but they always stop whatever they're doing to get the phone. Crazy to me.

Are we cousins?

You guys aren't alone but my Mom's fallen for more shit online I think. The new phone announces who's calling which has helped.

Even my oldest brother (who's young enough to know better) has gotten scammed. Actually the other one did too but that was just an AOL password 25 years ago.

Those Apple e-mail scams are getting pretty good. Even I almost fall for them. The ones where they say thanks for your purchase from the Apple store, yada yada. They look damn real.

This man was arrested for...

[Reveal] Spoiler:

We can all rest a little bit easier knowing that monster is off the streets.

Woohoo! A silver quarter! Finally!
