Basic Things That You Don't Know ...

[Ignatius]

I am a disgrace to manhood when it comes to prowess on a grill. I'm totally intimidated by those ******* things. I can break down anything at all with electrical wires in it and master the most arcane PC issue, but I'll burn a ******* steak quicker than you can catch AIDS in a Haitian whorehouse...

I also suck at installing doorknobs...

i dont know how to can goods, i have failed multiple times at attempts to grow my own vegetables, i would like to be able to take some wheat, turn it into flower and make some baked goods but i have no concept how that is done.

 

[accuratehorn]

I don't know which is flotsam, and which is jetsam. There, I said it, and I'm a better man for admitting the truth.

 

[FattyMac]

I never know when to use "effect" and "affect." Drives me crazy.

The OP is basic things, not impossible things!

 

[S.A.Diva]

I don't know how to juggle...

 

[Fievel121]

Which boards I should post certain Threads on. What goes "In the Stands" v"On the Fields" is beyond my knowledge level.

 

[mcmike1492]

Jessica Simpson thought that Chicken of the Sea tuna was chicken.

And the longer I live, I understand that I really don't know a lot and I've quit worrying about it. You can't know it all, despite what some of the other posters on here think.

 

[mcmike1492]

I have more trouble with the "par" and "per" in separate.

Central Daylight Time vs. Central Savings Time.... I just say Central time to cover it.

when a FG is blocked and the ball goes forward, who can touch it? I still don't understand the Leon Lett play vs. Miami about 12 years++ ago.

why are there so many damn fees at closing for a house?
why can't the selling fee be about 1% instead of the 6% murder?

 

[bluto]

affect = a stands for action. when you affect the outcome.

effect = end result. when the final effect is known.

not sure if capital/ol is on this thread...
capital - final a stands for austin, the city
capitol - 'o' is like hte rotunda<?> on the building.

I can't shuffle cards.

 

[rickysrun]

1. how to tie a tie
2. shuffle cards
3. how to say "rural" w/out soundling like I have a mouth full of marbles.
4. What the **** a frush is

 

[horn blooded]

its vs. it's... Which is possessive and which is a contraction.

Lay down, lie down... I don't even worry about that one anymore.

How can anyone eat black licorice?

Why does "will not" = won't.

How can anyone smoke in a car with the windows up?

 

[hard knock horn]

I wish I knew more about electronics. I am not very handy at all. I can barely change the batteries in a flashlight.

That Danke Schoen wasn't sung by a woman, just a very young Wayne Newton

 

[Hornius Emeritus]

I don't know how pawn shops stay in business.

I never see anybody buying anything there.

 

[HornHawk]

Why I can write tons and tons of stuff to someone online or in an email, but can't carry a conversation one on one.

 

[zinger]

I don't understand how aggie/aggie marriage whether hetero or gay survive. It seems that the amounts of frustration embarrassment and dissapointment with which they have to deal with,(being fans of the cult) on a daily basis would have a profound effect on their relationship.

I don't know why our kidneys and lungs are the only internal organs we have two of.

Why no love for the backup liver?

we have multiple parathyroid glands, multiple lymph nodes, 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 butt cheeks, 2 breasts (essential for the survival of the species).

some stuff in 1's, some stuff in 2's.

the stuff in multiples we usually can survive on with only 1, (i.e. lung/kidney/boobs for the kids) but its less than ideal.

 

[free=good]

I'm 39 and have never been able to figure out 2 things:

Is 12 noon am or pm. Same for midnight. I have absolutely no idea.

Labor day and Memorial day - which one is at the start of summer and which one is at the end? All I know is I get a 3 day weekend.

The only thing I can guess is that I was absent from school the day they covered these things in class and my brain is now too old to absorb this info. I've been told the answers to these 2 things a million times and I still don't have a clue.

 

[Teasip63]

Anything electrical is a mystery to me. I do not understand amp, watts, etc. I even have my ham radio license and I still do not understand it. I have bought and studied books on it and it will not stick with me. I do not know why.

When I was young I could sing pretty well. Well enough to be in a choir and sing duets in front of church. But something has happened and I can not carry a tune at all now. I do not know why.

 

[RockyBalboa]

What "quarter of" means.

When someone says to arrive at a quarter of six, do they mean 5:45 or 6:15.

 

[Seamus McBundy]

Can't keep track of which direction I'm headed North, South, East, West. Its easy for me to lose track.

 

[WhoseHouse]
