I was cutting butter with a knife (We don't have butter knives), and it fell three times right below me.

All of the drops missed my feet- one of them was only two-three inches away.

Pastrami + me = 24 hours of gastric misery.

i just ordered 3 double cheese burgers, no onions….that's all i didnt want….and i know you guys know that, because you made one onion free…i dont know who pissed you off, but i was polite and kind….i even tipped you….fack, you're fast food for crying out loud…your job cant be that hard…

also being DD rocks. (designated driver, not the drunk duck). i got to help everyone out, i still remember my night and the bartender (female) was all into me…and it was great…she was getting me free non alchoholic drinks….she'd ask for the money, i'd give it to her, she'd break the larger bill into smaller bills, and then gave me all my money back!!…and when i ordered alcohol for my friends, she cut the price in half!…awesome right?

maybe i still hold a chance once my marriage is done…

They were trying to tip you off that you should only really be eating one cheeseburger.

that's probably true…i shoulda only had one or two…

but who ever invented onions needs to be shot….and whoever decided they should go on food, should be shot, stabbed, repeat several times, then hung by his toes from a tree…

But-but-but… the onions… :(

You tipped the fast food place?

Madness. I hate all those tip jars in places people are already being paid a full wage to work. Your job is to make my subway sandwich, it isn't hard, I'm not tipping you. T_T

They should be tipping you for eating the junk to begin with.

If it's a great pizza, a true Philly cheese steak or a New York Deli but nothing else.

But I do occasionally tip gas station attendents (I live in NJ, there is no self-serve) Been there, done that. The person's in -10 F windchill and is visibly shivering. Here have a buck and get some coffee.

Wrong. You need to learn what real food tastes like. Then afterwards, your taste buds should go to the gym because they are all utter pansies.

i've eaten all manner of food. when i was growing up, i wasnt allowed to say a food was disgusting until i tried it. and if i said "ugh, that looks disgusting" i definatly ended up with that on my plate… so my taste buds have been to the gym, and then told arnold he was a momma's boy.

Can a power outage really be so dangerous for your computer? I had the power go out twice today, knocking out my comp abruptly…the first time because of a storm. I would've left it off had I known it might go out again, but it wasn't storming the second time around and the outages were far between each other…and when I turned it on the second time the computer clock was completely wrong even though the time zone was correct. (Whoa it's suddenly December 2001 again!) And my Earthlink's login was a little wonky acting too.

No severe damage, but little glitches like this have happened with my computer before due to outages. Ugh, things like that scare me. I have a regular drive and an external one with my important stuff on it and ya can't even completely feel safe with that! Guess I had better rip it onto CD's again soon as well with the ol' storm season coming up.

Or you could just invest in a UPS.

Then the veteran who spent three weeks on MRE's and then had soggy green eggs and ham beat both of you up by himself with one hand tied behind his back. Unless you've spent time in the military (Army especially) you have no idea what bad food tastes like or looks like. After a while I carried an onion and a bottle of hot sauce to drown out the taste.

Creamed beef on toast and grits. Hot dogs with bean component? It could be worse it could be raining… (Cue rain)

Onions? PLEASE!!! Hey look I found some SPAM… Gods be praised! SPAM! After a while you'll eat anything.

I like Green Eggs and Ham, Sarge-I-Am, I like it in the rain, I like it when we train…

You also learn to drink coffee black because milk has no effect on sulphuric acid anyway.

They can. If you have an external hard drive, make sure you only turn it on and have it connected when you're backing up to it, other times, have it off and disconnected.

Heh, for your comp a UPS would be great, like APC says (uninterrupted power supply), it's like a temporary battery backup. It gives you time to shut down and save your stuff when the power goes dead suddenly. But if you don't have one of those, at least have a good surge protector with everything that's connected to your comp plugged into that as well.

Goddamnit, I just made it so that I had a day based sleep schedule, don't make this fuck up lead to me sleeping at night again.

Posted at 6:05PM, May. 11, 2008

i'm in the airforce. i once had mre's for one week straight in basic. they were good, kept getting the good ones.
also right after hurricane katrina, we didnt have a chow hall, so we ate mre's for a week.

and when i "deploy" we have 3 chow halls

Posted at 7:05PM, May. 11, 2008

You both seem to have misunderstood me, I'm referring to strong flavours rather than bad ones.

Goddamnit, I just made it so that I had a day based sleep schedule, don't make this fuck up lead to me sleeping at night again.

I know how that feels. Except I'm the other way round. I just seem to sleep better during the day than I do at night.

Posted at 8:05PM, May. 11, 2008

Heh, that stuff about taste buds being "pansies" is lightly off. Good taste buds will always recoil from strong flavours. The weaker your taste buds are, the easier it is for you to take strongly flavoured foods.

That's because taste buds are a sense, not a muscle. They're like hearing: people with less sensitive hearing are more comfortable with louder sounds. Lots of chili etc is bad for your taste buds in the same way that loud music kills your hearing, or staring at bright lights for too long damages your eyes. ;)

Posted at 9:05PM, May. 11, 2008

Thank you for sharing all that, Mister Obvious, because when I said 'your taste buds are pansies' I meant it entirely literally.

Posted at 9:05PM, May. 11, 2008

So you believe people have pretty coloured flowers on their tongues? Or is this a new meaning for the word "literally" that I'm not getting? lol!

Because I have to tell you, that's a sort of interspecies mixing that just doesn't happen.

HAH!! it took me a second, but i just realized what ozone was talking about…

Don't be stupid ozone. It happens all the time. My grandfather had a bunch of roses growing out his right eye socket.

I'm seeing visions of 1960's hippy artwork.

Make it stop. PLEASE :(

Go away crappy mood, Go away crappy mood, go away-

At least i'm not one of those people who's always in a crummy mood. they're probly that way because no one likes them, and no one likes them because they're always in a crummy mood. or they smell bad or something

Posted at 11:05PM, May. 11, 2008

It's actually a little of both.
