Occidental Leather. They make tool bags, pouches, and tool belts. Top notch shit, small company. I got a set in '94. I finally had to buy a new set in 2021 after 40hrs a week, 50 weeks a year of daily, hard use framing houses. I'd send them in every 5 or 6 years and they do repairs and cleaning for super reasonable prices.

Shit. I blame it on the massive dose of NyQuil I was on at the time.

I went to my 10 year to make sure I was right. I was. I haven't gone to any others and don't even get asked.

I think the quote was "that's what high school was, cheating and bad lunches". Or something like that anyway. I never cheated. I don't think I ever got cheated on either. I think in junior and high school a lot of people are figuring themselves out and make a lot of mistakes. But I think if someone is bragging about it as an adult, that's just shitty.

I got a buck says it was some moron that doesn't (or didn't) know the difference between fertility clinic and abortion clinic.

Actually it's not even good for that. Too much polyester.

Ha. To be fair, it was a joke gift, and I've only worn it once, to the givers house. I only keep it because every now and then I leave it out when we're going out to tease my wife.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term)

"Military personnel might use "86" to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., "That old radio got 86'd") or ending a plan or mission (e.g., "The op was 86'd due to bad weather"). It's not an official term in military doctrine or manuals, but it's part of the informal jargon and culture of soldiers, sailors, and airmen due to its common and frequent use, and is a concept military members are assumed to understand, although it originates in broader civilian language."

Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix.https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/eighty-six-meaning-origin

Words can change meanings. Language is fluid.
