Random Thought of the Day

[Nightshade]

Hormone supressants in the air and water ;)

[ktd222]

"I see dead people!"

[Themis]

Agreed, but how to enforce it?

By organising lots and lots of demonstrations against hormones and thus forcing governments to give in?

[AimusSage]

Arrrrrgh, still 5 hours to go... :eek:

[Scheherazade]

What is fireworks' effect on environment?

This morning there was such a thick fog and smoke smell in the air that I couldn't help wondering if it was due to two days of ceaseless firework displays.

[Stanislaw]

I wish that I could get a promotion...then I could do less work and get paid more!:D

[imthefoolonthehill]

expected value is never the real deal.

[baddad]

expected value is never the real deal.

Hey, how are those Red Wings doing? Ever since I moved it's hard to keep track.

There was diet coke in my table last night. I left it in my table. This morning, I saw the empty can in my trash bin...

[papayahed]

Whoooo Hooooo!!!! 4000 posts. It only took 34 months, that's 117 posts a month.

[Taliesin]

hmmmm.... not to shabby.


I've always wondered..... Why are they called Oilers?

[papayahed]

Holy Cripers I had to go back 5 pages to find this thread.

[papayahed]

So I go on a job interview - they fly me halfway across the country. I paid for everything up front and they would reimburse me. I got the check today and they ony paid for the very basics. they didn't even pay for my airport parking or any of my meals (there was only one). What a bunch of cheap skates.

Now why would I want to go work for a company like that????? (That nd the fact that they were not prepared for my interview at all even though they set up the time) DOH! What a waste of a good day off from my current job.

[Nightshade]

Is airport parking so expensive then??
I dont know papya other than there chronic disorganisation is it a good job maybe you can just use them as a stepping stone to bigger and better things??
Thats what they said at the caree development student confrence I went to,
"Sometimes the only way around is through"

[papayahed]

Airport parking is 5.50/day. the total bill they didn't pay was only $21!!!!! In comparison to the $300 for everything else... it makes no sense.

[Stanislaw]

So..yes no, maybe so?:)

On a similar note, I got a new job at...IBM, working for the Fluor contract!

[Nightshade]

Is that good?? :confused:...IBM does that mean they give you computer bits as freebies??

[adilyoussef]

I thought I was in a dreaming land
That's not fair that's too sad
When I'm in a mood so bad
With no friend with no lad
I calling but no reply was heard
From my pals from my lad
But though the weather is bed
I will never be in a mood so sad
For though my heart is alone and sad
Seeing you make my heart so glad

[papayahed]

So..yes no, maybe so?:)

On a similar note, I got a new job at...IBM, working for the Fluor contract!


That's good right??

[Laindessiel]

Oooooh, Night, YOU changed your signature! Good on ya! The previous one scared me off. Love Peanuts. But I can't read it though. The letters are blurred. :(

Feels great to be able to sleep more than 5 hours again, even only for a day!

Is the theme song from firefly on my mobile. Well maybe not turns out that isnt the song thats bugging me does anyone know where this line comes from?

"Sernity's along time coming to me, infact I dont know what it means anymore"

I just checked the blog section - I don't have one.

[Stanislaw]

You can create one...I think I may have, but I am not sure. :D

:D just use a hazmat suit...its a subtle hint to those around you...or atleast, it prevents ye from becoming ill...though, from personal exp, it doesn't really display sympathy, and people have a tendancy to get all offended by it...especially if you jokingly put quarentine tape across their room. :D

[ktd222]

just disregard the thing with the glowing red eyes in the corner of your room.

[Stanislaw]

phew thats a relief...I was strting to get worried...but If I can disregard it...no worries then...right??? :D

[Nightshade]

[Stanislaw]

"where have all the cowboys gone?"

I think who you need is the "Hero of Canton"...

Let me ellaborate...the hero of canton, the man they call jayne...

Jayne
The man they call Jayne
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne

Now Jayne saw the Mudders' backs breaking
He saw the Mudders lament
And he saw the magistrate taking
Every dollar and leaving five cents
So he said, "You can't do that to my people"
He said "You can't crush 'em under your heel"
Jayne strapped on his hat
And in five seconds flat
Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne

Random thought of the day...

[Nightshade]

The blues never fade away....elton john ( music but since you can only read it the words are by Bernie Taupin



He wasn't famous but I sure did love him
I've got his picture in a little frame
He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name
But there's so many more and I've lost count
The hows and whys aren't important now
All that matters is they came around
And brightened up our lives

She was twenty one with her life ahead
You don't need to know her name
She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade
But fate's right hand isn't always just
Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust
She was just a little girl, ain't that enough
To rage against the day


And how did we get so lucky
Targets on the rifle range
Who makes the call and who gets to choose
Who gets to win and who gets to lose
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
And blues never fade away
Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls
But blues never fade away

He shone so bright with a lust for life
Like the Sun King that he was
His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth
And for reasons I never understood
About the choices made between the bad and good
I've tried to figure out why
The pain never goes away

And how did we get so lucky
Targets on the rifle range
Who makes the call and who gets to choose
Who gets to win and who gets to lose
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
And blues never fade away
Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls
But blues never fade away

And there's marble markers and little white crosses
Along the beaten path
And I've spread their ashes on the wind
And I miss John Lennon's laugh

And how did we get so lucky
Targets on the rifle range
Who makes the call and who gets to choose
Who gets to win and who gets to lose
It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
And blues never fade away
Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls
But blues never fade away

he wrote the words to Your song and candle in the wind too... all my favourites:D:D I might have to check out the guys poetry :nod:

:D wow...sounds like ye work in a library or a bookstore...you should join the darkside, the world of IT, you must not underestimate the power of the darkside of the force...moments of intense action, and then long periods of wait. :D

[ktd222]

I wonder where I'll be in a year.

[Pensive]

You get bad marks. It is the same class. They are the same class-fellows; the same friends, the same people, the same teachers. They don't eat you. They don't kill you. They don't shout at you.

In the school's play-ground, there are girls playing football as usual, talking and chatting to each other happily/sadly/angrily. It is the same old place.

You go back home. You see your mother greeting you the same as she always does. You eat dinner as usual. You browse the forum. You read stories. You do your bloody homework.

See, everything is same. But no! There is a difference; there in the corner of your heart, you feel a pang. And it hurts, hurts more than anything else. From the inside, you are broken but who knows it better than you especially when you are trying to hide it from most of the people.

You try to forget the pain. You try to forget the hard times. You try to get into other nice activities, which works sometimes if you are lucky enough. Other times it doesn't.

[Nightshade]

Choices. One should have the right to choose.

It snowed in west L.A. today. In other words, it snowed on the beach. In Southern California. It also snowed in Malibu, which is also on the beach.

70 degrees in Pennsylvania (Or at least it was a couple weeks ago...) and it snows on the beach in Southern California. :eek2:

Good day, global warming! (Or is it cooling?)

It hurts when we never get what we want the most. And it is terrible when we have to hear all bad news in one day, especially when we are expecting a lot of good things from that one day. What hurts the most is that; this one day affects a lot of our life!

[Themis]

I should write a book. "How to wreck havoc on a daily bais!" sounds about right.
The first chapter would probably be called "How to graze your elbow, knock over a hallstand and nearly be slain by a table lamp while attempting to kill a moth with a bunch of papers (and all the while trying to hit the wretched thing without actually touching it)".

You can probably find it on youtube anyway, or you can upload it yourself! :p
Boxes of stuff are great! It's a look into your own past, lots of nostalgia :D

Or so I've been told, I don't have a lot of stuff myself.

Thinking is so good, can come in very handy. Teacher is delivering a really boring lesson, and you can't do anything else for the fear of being caught. But you can think. You can imagine being a teacher yourself, of course a better one. Or you can always imagine dancing in the valley on a lovely rainy day. Not to forget imagining yourself as the queen of the earth. But no...being a queen would take all the fun out of life....

Nah, I can't agree here. I can't see the fun in being an Emperor when all that surround him are chains. He can't walk/wander around like normal people, and has soooo many responsibilities to cope with...maybe it's just me, but I don't find it much appealing! :D

[Lily Adams]

John Adams spoke with a lisp! :eek2: I just found that out a few minutes ago! Was it a lateral lisp like Sid from Ice Age? (Ha ha, the actor who played him is funny. "Buy me toys! Buy me candy!") XD How amusing!

EDIT: Aww. He only had a lisp when he was old because he refused to wear dentures! Tough old guy! It was really Thomas Jefferson who had the lifelong lisp! Hahahaha! I'm laughing so hard, now! Imagining America's Founding Fathers with lisps makes me laugh hysterically. (And squeal as well! Makes me wanna hug 'em even more!)

They would be so mad at me right now. *Hides under the computer desk from a potential founding father ghostie attack*

Leave it up to me to post something like this! :D :thumbs_up

[zanna]

"Thith ith the United Thateth!" "What do you think you're dointh, the Britith are cominth!" Ooh, it must have been hard to take them seriously until you really got used to it. Does anybody here lisp? What is it like, to have to deal with that? I have wierd hiccups, and I laugh wierd sometimes, so I know I get annoyed when made fun of for that, but it's not the same.

[Lily Adams]

How about, "Weeth holth theeth thruths tooth beeth thelf-evidenth..."

:lol: Oh my gosh, I love the Founding Fathers...I really wish I had tape recordings of them! I've always wondered what their voices sounded like.

[zanna]

a suggestion, Lily. See if you can find the book "Founding Brothers." It's ten chapters, written by a historian, and reads similar to a novel, but tells you all about ten different events that took place in those "first years," and a few before them. Good stuff, I really enjoyed learning more about our history.

[Lily Adams]

Yes, yes, I have been planning to read that for a while now. :nod:

[zanna]

Tell me how you like it. :)

[Lily Adams]

Alright, I will!

Oh! That reminds me, there is also a book on the ladies of the Revolution. The book's title is, you guessed it, Founding Mothers. I haven't read that, either, but I saw it at Barnes and Noble and I plan on reading that, too. So many books to read, so little time...

[zanna]

Sounds like a good one . . . do you enjoy historical fiction or h. nonfic? or both?

[Lily Adams]

Both, of course! :D

I'm glad I have a John Adams doll to take out all my squeeage on. (You should all be considered fortunate, too!) I make him walk across my desk when I need a homework break, etc. I got him in Quincy, Massachusetts, and when I was in Boston all the gift shops had George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin, Abigail Adams, Revere, Martha Jefferson, etc. dolls, but they were so expense, so I could only buy one. :bawling: I wanted all of them so I could make little historical puppet plays in my room. :( My John one has a quill in his hand and letters to Abigail in the other. the Abigail doll has a quill, too and letters to John! My poor little John doll is friendless he just sits on my bookshelf all alone. :(

[kathycf]

Where is Schokokeks with some cookies? I really need some. :D


I didn't know Thomas Jefferson had a lisp. That makes me think of Cindy from the Brady Bunch. Now I must worry if TJ had a Kitty Carryall doll....:( ;)

Uh, I get the impression if I mock one of our nation's great founding fathers Miss Lily will beat me up in a very genteel lady like fashion. :p

*edit*
gah! No offense meant if anybody really does lisp!

[Lily Adams]

Uh, I get the impression if I mock one of our nation's great founding fathers Miss Lily will beat me up in a very genteel lady like fashion. :p

Ha ha, don't worry, Miss Zanna and I had fun mocking them earlier, as you can see. :D

Well, founding fathers of the USA is an interesting topic, but one of my favourite periods of US history is the civil war period, very fascinating!

It's wonderful to come back again. I missed this place.

:nod: I know a bit about the civil war, too. So interesting...

[Stanislaw]

:nod: I know a bit about the civil war, too. So interesting...

Uncle Sam and Honest Abe! I also quite enjoy the architectural, and technological study of this period aswell. Also the time period is very romantic, Cowboys, Indians, Yanksees, and Confederates! Indeed there are a great many things that can be studied in this period, but my preference does lie with the technological/architectural branch, but the anthropological interactions of these periods are fascinating.

Hi there! :wave:

Hi Kathy! How are you?

[AimusSage]

significant events are insignificant to me... :)

Insignificant events mean the world to me...:)

Significance is an overrated commodity

Insignificance makes the eyes rotate in their sockets

Rotating eyes may witness significant events

This will still be insignificant to me...:)

But the world is free to disagree.

Actually I hope no one agrees

Because if you do, you do not understand

Anything about random thoughts, or me...:)

Just a tip ---if you're planning on selling your house, remove the beer bottles from the counter tops and pick up the random trash strewn about the yard before you take the pictures to send to the realtor for posting. You just might attract a greater number of potential buyers.

"What happens to a dream deferred?"

Don't worry. It would not dry up like a raisin in the sun or fester like a sore and then run. Instead, it will vanish like a free bird and come back again to haunt/please you. (depends on how the dream was-a nightmare or a pleasant one!) If not you, then somebody else might experience the same dream. :)

Its funny when people in the author section are all:

"Im sorry...you just don't like sthe book cause you is teh dumb n00b st00p1d, only teh dumb n00b st00p1d5 dont like teh book"

that makes me feel sad for humanity. :(

My John Adams av/sig combo is getting old. I'm thinking of changing it to a kind of Dr. Forrester/MST3K theme.

[ktd222]

Why say what you can do.

[Lily Adams]

My new avatar/signature set doesn't really fit with my habit of calling people by their title, "Mr." or "Miss"...

[Niamh]

Well Miss Adams would it not cheer you up to have a sir/miss/m'lady type avatar? although i must admit, even though i've never heard of mr forrester, its quite a qurcky avatar!

[Lily Adams]

Aw, it's alright. I'll still call everyone by their title. I just got this new set and I don't want to take it away now! It's new and fresh.

Maybe this invention was made of the couch potato who doesn't need to ask why, but to know that a television and fridge in the same spot can be quite a time saver:p

[Lily Adams]

Ahahahaha! My brother just called me a nerd on IM. He said, "Now don't take this too hard. You're a nerd." :lol: It's pretty obvious we don't see each other a lot just because of that comment he made about me.

-That apple pie is delicious, I dig it.

I wonder what the most random thought of my day was... Hmmm... I think this is it!

[Taliesin]

We are feeling positive and enpowered again by reading a thing from an essay.
(Mari are a people that speak a relative language of Estonian, to make what we say more understandable.)


The essay gave this little comparison about what might be good in finnougrian mentality:
1914. First World War starts. Even European intelligence is carried away with exaltation of war - Freud, Wittgenstein, Schönberg and others want to fight for fatherland and support war.
In the same time, the message of the starting war reaches Mari-El, who are still mainly pagan. It reaches a sect, who were basically reformed pagans. They put their heads together and discuss and then, they put on ceremonial white clothing and then, they take all the weapons, the old flintlocks and hunting-guns and other weapons.
They dig a big hole in the ground and bury all the weapons.
