Random Thoughts

[jenniferofthejungle]

These are positively disgusting and if I ever saw someone had given any to their children, I would sever all contact.

The only ones I'd find objectionable are the ones that represent STDs. Fo kids, I mean. Adults tend to joke around like that with each other, but I'd be offended if my child was given a herpes stuffie.

Howard the Duck is out on dvd soon. I might just buy it. How's that for random?

EDIT: On a UK region 2 bare bones disc.

The drunk thread is two doors down, Lasse.

1) I currently am fighting a bed bug infestation.

For real? Where did they come from?

Hmm. I should probably wash my sheets, now that I think about it.

[Sycophant]

For real? Where did they come from?

No idea. They just kind of showed up on the 5th floor of my building. Probably inadvertently transferred here from someone's vacation or something. They're on the wane but they are tenacious little bastards.

I ran a good call yesterday. It may or may not make the local news, most likely not, considering nobody died. But that's what we're suppose to do. So good for us.

I'll comment a few other thoughts about it all later. Some pretty neat stuff to ponder on.

Who the hell is Hannah Montana? I refuse to dignify a name like that with a google search.

A Disney fabrication. What I didn't know about was her apparent alter ego, which I'm not going to search for on Google for similar reasons.

I believe the alter ego you're thinking of is actually her real name. They show how she transforms from a normal girl into Hannah Montana; ergo, any of her fans can be Hannah Montana!

Where's that one string of posts where you all gave meg suggestions for a hypothetical horror film? I want to crib a few of them for a joke email and can't remember we're they are located...

That was in the Film Discussion thread, starting here.

Just when I feel like I'm starting to get on people's good sides again, I have to go and defend the Shyamalan, tirade against the Apatow, and laud the director of Jurassic Park 3, all in a fell swoop.

Why would that change anything? We all know you hold these opinions, as you've expressed them repeatedly in the past. Methinks you just like being considered an eccentric, hence this post reasserting yourself as such through self-imposed martyrdom.

:P

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I'm trying to be less monotonous with my unpopular opinions and realized that in the last hour I had slipped back into pot-clanging loudmouth mode. I could happily live the rest of my life without having my eccentricities validated by the disembodied voices that sometimes talk to me from cyber-space.

Anyway, excuse me as I casually revert back to liking Spielberg's The Terminal.

...

D'oh! I suck at this.

Clearly, you're just that into Starbucks.

I only have 16 years left to explore how these monitors can endure the heat of the sun and still find food. They live off the few living beings that exist in this desert...smaller lizards, mice...who, in the day time, are hiding away in their burrows in the sand. They are generally large predators, which you can tell by flies that are gathering.

What wouldn't you do to find out about these animals?

By the way, Duncan, I've been meaning to ask what this is about. I mean, beyond just being about monitors.

Oh, it's just a quote from Herzog's Fata Morgana. It's almost certainly "fake" but it still blows my mind. Like, why does the guy only have 16 years left to study these creatures? How does he know he only has 16 years left? Why does he use the qualifier "only" before 16 years? Why is he wearing those crazy goggles (see av) that the singing pimp wears later in the film? I love the sense of decay you get from the line about flies. I love that he's got these legitimately
informative things to say about monitor lizards. I love that someone may or may not exist who is so absurdly passionate about monitor lizards. I love that he expects other people to be as passionate about them as he is. And I love that I've made similar comments about films only people on the internet have ever heard of.

[Sycophant]

Oh, dear Christ, I need to watch more Herzog. Wow.

Meanwhile, I have a huge urge to do my taxes right this fucking moment, but one of my W-2s isn't here yet.

So...I had quite an eventful evening...

My on-stage debut, which went well until my second-to-last-line, where I read someone else's line.

Luckily the lines were quite similar anyways, so no one in the audience actually noticed.

This was followed by the group of us going to a bar, where I had 3 double-rye's, and 2 beers.

Then my D.D. drove the other 3 people in the car home, and on our way to my house, we were in a small accident. Nothing major, but we ended up in a ditch where the snow was so high that we couldn't open the doors or see out 4/6 of the windows of the car. Neither of us have CAA, so we had to call his mom, who called a tow truck for us.

Even though it wasn't a major accident and both of us were perfectly fine, we were both still pretty shaken op.

So...that was my night.

Glad you're alright.

Damn meg that sucks. Glad ok.

A pimento cheese sandwich is perfection.

A pimento cheese sandwich is perfection.

Which one?

[Sycophant]

Sometimes I feel the urge to tell one of my co-workers that I find her bottled water consumption to be borderline unconscionable when there's ready access to cups and a drinking fountain.

[Raiders]

Which one?

A plain one. With bread and the cheese.

[bac0n]

As far as sammiches go, El Cubano laughs at the puny pimento & cheese.
