And now, not so deep thoughts

[Ghoulish Delight]

You know that feeling?
The one after a long hard day spent on your feet
And you get into bed, lie flat on your back, take a deep breath...
And as you let it out slowly you can feel your spine start to decompress.
It hurts. If you exhale too quickly, it hurts a lot.
Damn do I love that feeling.

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

Me, too. Body in motion transitioning into sleep mode. Love that kind of pain.

[Ghoulish Delight]

If no one actually gave a sh!t about anything, there'd be no war.

[innerSpaceman]

There'd be no love, bro.

[Ghoulish Delight]

There'd be no love, bro.
Hey, you were properly warned by the title of this thread. (though I still stand by my statement. I never said it's a good solution, but it's true).

[Motorboat Cruiser]

If I had any abilty at painting, I would probably paint some really cool stuff.

That's about as "not so deep" as I can get.

[scaeagles]

I wonder how long it would take me to produce enough belly button lint to knit a sweater out of it.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Why is it that according to supermarket packaging, "one serving" is equal to the amount one would feed to a pygmy hamster, while according to restaurants, "one serving" is the amount you'd feed to an entire tribe of African pygmies?

[Capt Jack]

I'm gellin' like a felon. My feet still hurt.
:(

[Kevy Baby]

I like to bang my head against the wall because it feels good when I stop.

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

I think it be cool to have the magical powers to transform yourself into a straight slightly taller Ryan Seacrest...

Oh yeah.

It's frickin' Friday. Woo-hoo

[Gemini Cricket]

There's something zen and mean about drinking hot Sencha green tea while watching someone sip their grande coffee that has enough caffeine in it to make an eighty year old tortoise quick enough to stomp dragonflies.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Now I'm wondering if Zen is mean....aren't you just mocking everyone else's rat races with your tranquility?

Now I'm thinking that if I could look at Zen that way I'd be more likely to take it up :evil:

Now I'm realizing that nothing will ever make me truly tranquil, no matter how evil. Sigh.

[scaeagles]

Yesterday after dinner I sat with my six year old son and put green grapes up my nose, and then shot them out like an air gun. We had fun.

[SacTown Chronic]

Be careful with that, dude. I once got a small jawbreaker stuck in one of my son's nose and a piece of corn stuck in my daughter's nose. Schtuff happens.

Besides, if you use green grapes how will you know if something other than a grape comes out?

[scaeagles]

They are big green grapes that don't fit up very far.

Plus, the fun is that they look like boogers. What fun would red grapes be?

[Kevy Baby]

They are big green grapes that don't fit up very far.Okay, I don't want to ruin the fun of the thread, but I just have to say this.

While it is fun to do this, it sends a message to the kids that it is okay to shove things up their nose. Next thing you know, you are in urgent care having a marble removed.

Now back to the regularly scheduled frivolity of the thread.

[scaeagles]

You guys are just a bunch of killjoys, aren't you.

I guess it's back to flinging things off the forks now. But you'll probably just tell me someone will lose an eye. :)

[Scrooge McSam]

What fun would red grapes be?

Bloody boogers?

[scaeagles]

Bloody boogers?

There is that. What's more fun than a booger? A bloody booger!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Hehe, you know things are bad when Kevy is the resident watchdog :p

Why, after 10 some years of AA is the screaming mantra "SERENITY NOW!!!!!!!" from a Seinfeld episode the slogan I have on my phone?

I'm hungry

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I'm not hungry but if I dont' eat I'll starve at work

[Not Afraid]

I just ate lunch.

[Motorboat Cruiser]

I skipped lunch today. Compensation for the cheesecake I had last night. Probably should skip dinner as well but that's not likely to happen.

[Kevy Baby]

Does anybody skip any more?

[Not Afraid]

Skip to my lou my darling.

Or maybe it is Skip to my LOO.

Maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years. I've never once skipped to my loo.

[scaeagles]

I prefer the potty dance to skipping.

[Capt Jack]

what if the hokey pokey really IS what its all about?
(ripped off from some comedian I cant remember the name of)

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I've reached a point in my life where I can't stuff my face with dessert anymore. I had 4 slices of cheesecake at my disposal and only managed to finish one. It was too rich for me. I had a big dinner, but still!

So my deep thought is - I wish I could stuff my face with cheesecake

[Prudence]

Ryan Seacrest really needs some quality time with a dominatrix.

[Gemini Cricket]

Why is it called 'whining' when you're hearing a complaint from an opposing group and it's 'constructive criticism' when it's from your own group?

At the Golden Globes, Salma Hayek could have housed several homeless pigeons in her hair. Why didn't she?

Can't stand it myself. Last night we had the misfortune of being within earshot of someone watching it. Yikes. And the parrot in the room agreed, squawking in what I believe to have been pain at the "singing".

[Gemini Cricket]

9 big companies own almost all of the media outlets in our country. So, basically 9 old, rich CEO's shape what is being said about everything in our country.

[Gemini Cricket]

Lots of times, my mind can not wrap itself around my ambitious nature.

[Gemini Cricket]

If a drinking straw is not strong enough to break out of the paper sleeve it is wrapped in, or can't break through the plastic lid of my drink... there is a manufacturing problem somewhere.

[MouseWife]

I don't like American Idol. I can't stand to watch Fear Factor {grosses me out}. Well, same effect as AI.

I do enjoy The Biggest Loser and the Discover Channels weight loss show. Don't know if it is a series or what.

Salma Hayek was at the Golden Globes? Missed that one. Mariah Carey is living la vida muy grande. It's all of that money. Who the heck is buying her cd and making it bigger than Elvis? I mean, in this day of ipods and file sharing, THAT I can't wrap my mind around.

Oh, and no offense to anyone who likes her. Don't send me poison PM's. I respect your opinion. :p

I like this thread. I fit right in. Not so deep thoughts. Right up my alley....:D

Gosh, how many words did I misspell in this post? :rolleyes:

LOL Ya know, I could go on and on in this not so deep thread. Can't post to the meaningful ones, though.....

Peace out!

[Ponine]

Am I the only one on the planet who doesn't give a corn loaded sh!t about 'American Idol'?
Right up there with me Honey. I've no interest in watching, and do not think its changing my life any.

Now mind you, my whole office watches, and discusses in detail the next day.

[Prudence]

Deep thoughts from work, courtesy of my boss:

You should never appear to be busy. People don't like to be around people who seem busy.

You should never appear to be focused on your own work. Such behaviour is selfish and contrary to the team spirit.

People should not have to ask you for help. You should always anticipate people's needs before they even know they have them.

You should never talk about your own life. It's a big morale problem for the faculty with condos in Hawaii to hear that you spent several days at Disneyland.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I occured to me the other day that much of the music I love sucks, and yet I still love it. That surprised me.

[Gemini Cricket]

I read somewhere that the number of voters tallied for the last season of American Idol outnumbered the people who voted for either presidential candidate in 2004....
:eek:

[Gemini Cricket]

Speaking of songs...

The other day I was listening to 'Heart and Soul' by T'Pau. And I thought to myself, I could very well be the only person on the planet listening to this song at this very moment. I may have been right.
:)

[Ghoulish Delight]

The Sabbath is nothing more than cosmic subsidies.

I find that I am trying to think of not so deep thoughts. If I have to think about not so deep thoughts, then don't they become too deep to post in this thread?

Sounds about right. As a wise bumper sticker once told me, "Our ignorance is their power".

Salma Hayak and Penelope Cruz are the same person.

Television has much to be desired.

Charlie does not make for a good computer screen.

It's all about randomness for me today:

~ People in Boston think I'm a Red Sox fan. Little do they know that I only wearing my Red Sox cap because my real first name starts with a "B".

~ When taking the elevator at work from the 6th floor to the 1st (if there are no stops) it feels like a small pissant Tower of Terror.

And like the GOP, many voted for an untalented amateur hack.

[scaeagles]

You know, there are many similarities between AI and elections. The primaries always include people so bad and so odd and so untalented that it is tough to look away, and some of them become famous for being so bad.

[Motorboat Cruiser]

And like the dems, many people voted more than once.:)

We needed all the help we could get. Your side makes the voting machines. ;)

Ok, that's probably too deep for this thread...

To get things back on track, I'll just say that everytime I see an ad for the AARP, I can't help but think of of the tongueless woman yelling at Robin Williams in "The World According to Garp".

"Aarp, Aarp!"

Where is the "cake" part of cheesecake? I mean, I didn't try it for years because it so obviously wasn't actual cake, and it looked scarily flan-like. I missed out on years of tastiness over the misnomer.

Panda Express puts crack in their Orange Chicken. I'm convinced of that.

[Not Afraid]

Ellen Jamesian.

Now, what's the thing I ate for dinner last night?

[Motorboat Cruiser]

Ellen Jamesian.



Yeah, I couldn't think of her name though. According to IMDB, I'm either thinking of Pooh or Cushie. I get confused between which was the one he had sex with and which eventually became an Ellen Jamesian though.

[scaeagles]

Sigh.... I wonder the same thing of Luc Robitaille.

If Luc refuses, Michael Cammalleri is pretty smokin'. Ooh! Craig Conroy, too. Actually, I'll take ANY of the Kings. Just give me a few naked hours in the penalty box. Make sure to bring those sticks for spankings- and leave on the skates (don't ask). I'm into kinky..puckin'. :p

I wonder if this makes me a whore for hockey.

I wonder if that makes me a "horkey".

:p ;)

[Kevy Baby]

Sigh.... I wonder the same thing of Luc Robitaille.Do you also wonder the same thing of Eva Longoria?

Perverted minds want to know.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I like tea.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Somone at work apparantly really appreciated the help I've given him recently, so he gave me a shirt. Which is awesome because it means I don't have to do laundry tonight.

[Hades]

I wonder if this makes me a whore for hockey.

I wonder if that makes me a "horkey".

Ally, dear, that would make you a "whorkey", and yes, it does and you love it, don't cha!;) You wouldn't be the back checking, blue liner, up in the goalie's crease chick that we all love and adore!:cool:

[Capt Jack]

and with that, I now must wipe the coffee from my monitor.

that would be 'yes'

I declare the most wonderful breakfast on earth to be...a roasted garlic bagel with fresh avocado. And if you disagree, you're wrong.

[Not Afraid]

You know.....when I alternated between bagles with avocado and salsl and English Muffins with Peanut Butter for daily breakfasst, I weighed 145 lbs.

[Kevy Baby]

Since I started on the low-carb diet a couple of months ago, with only a couple of exceptions, I have eaten a Low Carb Breakfast Bowl from Carl's Jr. for breakfast every weekday morning.

Not getting poked in the eye with a sharp stick being first on the list.

I just did some research, and the aggregate record of all MLB baseball teams for the 2004 regular season was an EXACT .500. Weird, huh?Gee, what an amazing coincidence. (smartass).

What I find interesting (or amusing) is when people get amazed at how close the all-time records of teams in a rivalry are. "Wow, can you believe that over 50 years and over 800 games, the Dodgers have won just 18 more games over the Giants than the Giants over the Dodgers?!" Gosh, what an astounding result! Are you telling me that over time, with a large enough sampling, it approaches statistical probability? Amazing!

[Gemini Cricket]

Dinner or salad forks with only three tines bug me. It must be four.

[Alex]

However, the Yankees have won 1,060 games against the Red Sox while the Red Sox have beaten the Yankees only 879 times.

It must suck to know that not only is a team is better than you this year, that they are pretty much always better than you.

[Gemini Cricket]

Gold silverware bugs me, too.

I never quite realized that there was such a thing as levels in quality cotton candy. It's all the same, right? Nope. We had some damn good cotton candy tonight.

[Kevy Baby]

According to GusGus, a cotton candy aficionado, the (at least a DL) was the hand-spun cotton candy (when they had the machine to the left of the entrance to Sleeping Beauty Castle) was by far the best.

[Moonliner]

I think it's a mean thing to temp people with the concept of extra yummy cotton candy and give no details as to where said sweet treat can be acquired.

Speaking of sweet treats, does USH still have that wonderful gourmet carmel corn vendor I partook of on my last visit? I forget the name exactly but I think it had 'opolis" as part of it...

In Spanish, nouns have gender (e.g., la mesa is "female", el barco is "male"). Nouns that refer to people switch genders depending on if the subject is male or female. For example, a male teacher is "un profesor", a female teacher is "una profesora".

Similarly, if you're talking about an animal, the gender switches with that of the animal. So a male dog is "un perro", a female dog is "una perra".

What ocurred to me this morning is that the same does not happen with the word for "person". As a matter of fact, the word for person remains "female" no matter the subject. Una persona es una persona.

Interesting.

My dog ate his own barf last night while I went to get something to clean it up. Dogs can be gross.

By talking about rainy day activities at schools, I made it rain today. I did not bring in any games, even though I pulled a couple out of the closet last night.

Today is Read Across America Day, Dr. Seuss' birthday. We were supposed to do an outdoor readathon with the entire school reading, but instead they'll have to do it in the classrooms. I feel bad.

Actually, I don't care too much because the readathon is always after I've already left for the day. That always bugs me.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I doubly caused it to rain because I didn't bring a jacket. My hat and scarf will have to do. It's pouring. Now this is how I plan to get well :rolleyes:

Consequently, I have spent nearly all day extolling the virtues of compact flourescents to a bunch of people who had obviously never heard of them.

Yes, they are... I don't save so much because I live alone, usually only burning one light at a time except for the office light which is always on. But this lady has a husband and 2 high school kids... the lights are on all the time. They should save big.

Yep, they're useless in 3 way lights.

[scaeagles]

Do the flourescent tubes provide the same savings? I am considering doing some remodelling in the kitchen, and my current plan is to rip out some flourescent lighting and replace it with track lighting. Not that the kitchen lights are on that much to make that big of a difference.

[Scrooge McSam]

Same? Hmmm Hard to say. Flourescents are "generally" more energy efficient than incandescent. They are, however, more expensive to replace, but their expected service life is a lot longer.

[Not Afraid]

When replacing lighting, keep in mind the quality of the light. You want you lighting to be warm and comfortable. Flourescents traditionally have a cold, clinical feel to them and not something I find condusive to making a warm, comfortable environment. But, I'm REALLY sensitive to lighting and illumination.

[Ghoulish Delight]

I really hate the overhead flourescent tubes commonly found in kitchens. Drive me nuts. But the compact flourescents that are designed to replace regular incandescents have a MUCH better quality of light than those tubes.

[Not Afraid]

Yes, the newer flourescents are emit a much more palatable and comfortable light. Just be careful when planning and choose the newer bulbs with warmer light.

Why do I feel like I'm on HGTV?

[BarTopDancer]

And why didn't I learn to ride my bike
when it was warm and sunny outside?

:confused:

Why did I leave my bike out last winter for the back wheel to rust?

I need to go to the gym, but watching 24 when it's on is much more appealing.

I hear you. I was a little leery when I first heard of them, me of the popping tube in childhood kitchen experience. These don't seem as blue white as the old tubes.

Plus, every little bit I can wring out of my KW hours gets me just that much closer to going solar!

I could launch into a whole lame-assed boring discussion on color temperatures as measured in degrees Kelvin. But I won't.

Cuz it's really freakin' boring.

Did I mention I know what metamerism is? Actually took an entire (university) course on color.

Does it need to be 'repurposed"?

(What's the saying?)

It might be too embarrasing for that - though I suppose I could mail it anonymously to someone in need of some inspiration...

Hmmmm now that I think about it - it could be used as some sort of note-delivery-system...

Why does asparagus cause stinky pee?

[Motorboat Cruiser]

Why does asparagus cause stinky pee?

Ask and ye shall receive...

From WebMD:

Aug. 14, 2000 -- You may have heard the tall tale that "asparagus urine" is linked to higher intelligence. In fact, it's the result of a simple chemical reaction. Asparagus contains a sulfur compound called mercaptan. (It's also found in rotten eggs, onions, garlic, and in the secretions of skunks.) When your digestive tract breaks down this substance, by-products are released that cause the funny scent. The process is so quick that your urine can develop the distinctive smell within 15 to 30 minutes of eating asparagus.

But not everyone has this experience. Your genetic makeup may determine whether your urine has the odor -- or whether you can actually smell it. Only some people appear to have the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan into its more pungent parts. A study published in the May 1989 British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that 46% of 115 people tested produced the odor in one group of British citizens, while 100% of 103 people produced it in a group of French citizens. The ability to smell the by-products may also be genetic. Another study published in the same journal found that 10% of a group of 300 Israeli Jews could not detect the odor. In other words, a person's urine could smell, but he or she might not know it.

[Not Afraid]

Fascinating! I've always wondered.

Thanks MBC!

From a newsletter I get (about the printing industry):

Not too long after the founding of the American republic, a citizen complained to Franklin that he had not received the "happiness" promised in the Declaration of Independence. Franklin replied that "the Declaratoin's 'persuit of happiness' only gives you the right to pursue happiness -- you have to catch it yourself."

[Ghoulish Delight]

A Canadian once explained to my father that America is all about the "pursuit of happiness" while Canadians are just happy.

No matter what, a dog will never learn to untangle itself when it is on-leash and circles a tree several times. Frodo just doesn't get it. I don't think any dog I've had did. :D
What Frodo's puppy trainer said was that the predicament is hard for a dog to understand.

Be sure to take the lampshade off before beddy-bye, okay?

:D

[Prudence]

Tonight, live from Washington State....


It's the Prudence and Wendybeth show!

And I left the lampshade in the hotel banquet room. I never take them home with me! Don't be silly!

And then I came home to find a new wheeled laptop backpack waiting for me at the front door and it's pretty cool and ....

Boris is showing me his belly! He's so cute when he flops his little paws over like that and...

I wonder if we'll be allowed to cite to pdfs of journal articles this year or if they'll still demand paper cites because they're slaves to the Bluebook and those damn ivy league editors who...

Oooh! Jellybeans!

[wendybeth]

No! Back away from the jellybeans, Prudence........

You shouldn't mix intoxicants. You eat those beans, and in ten minutes your brain will be struggling with trying to balance the sugar buzz will the booze buzz, and will attempt to convince you that only breakfast at Denny's will do the trick. Trust me on this one.

My Boris is washing his derriere right now- trying, anyway. He's too girth challenged to actually be effective. Really clean tummy, though.

Can I have one of those Russell Stover coconut nest thingies? I love those. I don't know why. They're totally crappy chocolate. And I guess they do have jelly beans -- but they're really small jelly beans!

And the Denny's parking lot is right at the freeway onramp so it's too hard to get to. Besides, IHOP is my post drinking breakfast of choice!

Great. Now I'm totally craving IHOP. ARG!
