You need to get out of the habit of prattling tripe - that'd be Two and a Half Men
Two and a half men sucks. In my opinion.

Decided to replace the terrible showerhead in this house (a rental, sadly, or I'd have done it long ago) with something nicer. So I bought one off Amazon last Thursday, it arrived same-day, and I was able to surprise my wife by having it installed before she got home from work. She loved it. 

This morning, she showered and went to work. I went into the shower, tried to adjust the angle, and it came off in my hand. Realized that a plastic retaining ring that held it on to the ball joint that it rotates around for adjustment broke. Finished my shower with the high pressure spray coming out of the ball joint. 

Oddly, I noticed at Costco last Friday that there was a Kohler one on sale. ~3x the price of what I bought from Amazon. But at least I trust the brand. And it's one of those fancy ones with both the rain head and the wand. 

So I ran over there during lunch, and the crisis was averted.

Another good thing about Costco is that you can return pretty much anything, pretty much any time.

Yep. They had to adjust the policy for electronics due to abuse, because people would bring in a 4 year old TV or laptop, return it for original purchase price, and then get a brand new one with much better specs... 

I'm considering buying a Kirkland Signature putter... If I use it and don't like it, I can return it.

Yup, electronics are different.

But my i s c & a aggie wife buys all of our vacuums there.  Because invariably they fail within a year or two, and she just takes it back and gets a new one every time.

We are ditching Sam's for Costco this weekend. I like the crab legs, lobster and beef better. 

Like, WAY better.

Better store brand stuff too, for sure.

It is insane how good the Costco stuff is including their meats, fish, the bakery and even some of their pre-cooked meals!

I don’t know if it’s the worst thing that ever happened to me or the best, but when I moved from Michigan to Florida I went from having a Costco 3 miles away or I probably spent $400 every two weeks to having the nearest one be 35 minutes south of me in Palm Beach. I rarely go there now. Only when I need large quantities of steaks or fish for company or a great pumpkin pie for the holidays.

Sam's is awful compared to Costco imo. Costco is the shit.

Kohler is garbage for what they charge if you ask me. 

Better off going Hansgrohe for shower heads, hand showers, faucets, and tub fillers vs Kohler. And better off going with Toto toilets over Kohler. Not only are Hansgrohe/Toto better products they look much nicer imo.

Will Costco sell me this?
that's probably the funniest sketch SNL has had in a decade. And I didn't really laugh one time, more like smirked once or twice. Kinda sad how far that show has fallen. The writing is trash and the cast is beyond weak.

I remember when people like Phil Hartman, Chris Farley, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Norm McDonald were on. Now? Yeeeesh.

And everyone said those casts were crap compared to the ones that came before them.

Same as it ever was.
