Well, here's the polread, because portmanteaus make EVERYTHING BETTER!!! Right?

Yes, there are a dozen options I left out, some of which I thought of and nixed. Anything Dale would probably dominate the poll, for instance.

I am curious if the guy in 2529 is a fan of Jackie Robinson or Hitchhikers Guide?

Ah yes, portmanteaus could never lead to bad things...

Actually, there are a lot of sensible, practical things I could choose, but I didn't realize until I looked at the poll just how much I kinda missed the hipster slander (that would NEVER fly in real life).

Thanks for taking the thread this week.

The tank top and numbers look like a basketball uniform of some sort. If it doesn't match one of the local schools, I'd almost think it was the University of Kansas.

Rather not-too-subtle. Actually I think I mentioned it somewhere else before. Actually I was serious. I don't want this birthday to suck like the last one. Which I spent working for a school project due the day after it, about which my teacher told me that day.

I guess this one would be much less of a big deal to me, if I'd have had an opportunity to celebrate my last one. 'Cause when you're 18 you're basically allowed to do anything here, so the birthdays after your 18's aren't so important anymore.

Also belated happy birthday mtmerrick!

Ah. I'm not really sure polread works, shouldn't a portmanteau be fewer syllables than the actual phrase? Maybe pread would work.

No, if I did the WCDT, it'd be a "Pred."

Or, as has been thrown around the internets lately, "Perd."

I thought More door was doomy enough.  You can't simply walk into it, after all.

It's pizza delivery. It starts that bad then gets worse as time goes on. At least Dale has a car though; I'd really ate to be doing that on a rusting hulk of a bike like the kids around here have to.

(In case your imagination needs a kickstart, delivering pizzas combines the very worst of retail with the very worst of delivery then paints a target on your back…)

It's not that bad really, especially if you're an introvert with ADD.  The take home pay can be pretty good depending on your area, there are regular intervals of alone time, and there is outside stimulation for most of the day.

Tips you have to average, I buy cars that are close to the end of their lifespan and have always been a night owl.  The only thing that's a major drawback for me from a lot of other jobs is the stigma the job title carries as I get older.
