Random Thought of the Day

[Bongitybongbong]

Those are awesome doggie glasses.

[subterranean]

Indeed, they are so darn lucky...:bawling:...

[amuse]

i love how our bones look like tree rings (http://health.allrefer.com/pictures-images/bone-tissue.html) in microscopic cross section

[imthefoolonthehill]

i hate how our bones look like tree rings in a microscopic cross section.

Its almost as if they are doing it JUST to piss me off...

MY bones don't look like tree rings under a microscope... and i can prove it! (at a much much later date...yeah... a much later date)...

I must find someone else whos bones don't look like tree rings under a microscope, because everyone else is part of the conspiracy.

...........yes......i am THAT tired.

[Koa]

Yes, bugs bunny wears glasses sometimes, and he himself is a rich turd (to quote Mr. Who-Shall-Remain-Named...above). On those occasions when Mr. Bunny wears glasses he is usually in disguise, posing as a rabbit of soft intellect, or posing as a librarian, an acaedemic, a man of the books. But just as often, he wears glasses and a a dress........with pouch like pockets large enough to comfortably carry some juicy, extra carrots.
But I digress......

I LOVE Bugs Bunny! I like his intellectual pose too :nod:

[baddad]

My bone does not look like tree rings in microscopic cross section. Trees are made of wood, I am not.....going to chop down another tree...ever.....without wondering if the tree is screaming in agony, horrified at its inability to protect itself everytime the axe hits......the rest of the forest must inwardly cringe in fear that they may be next....toothpicks can be useful though.........

[mono]

I have noticed this too, amuse, being your fellow science geek. :D
Thinking also of trees, I find it interesting that multi-polar neurons almost appear like thin tree branches, touching each others roots (axons), which gives another idea of the 'tree of knowledge;' additionally that the white matter of the cerebellum, called the arbor vitae, translates as 'tree of life' in Latin.

[amuse]

"ooh, good points! (re: tree of knowledge) i hadn't seen it like that before," she said admiringly.
isn't Latin lovely. :)

[Cassiopeia]

I hate crying during plays.

" Mother Gibbs...it's George." *sobs*

That excerpt, by the way, is from Our Town.

[amuse]

well, here it is, time to do laughdry i mean laundry (where did that come from) early sunday morning so that i can either go shopping or babysit the yorkie while his mommy goes to a surprise birthday party.
much rather would've done brunch, but the clothes must have their day!
meanwhile, i shall ruminate as to why i dreamt of global warming with the reverse effect of extending the beach, and marine life washed up on shore, and chatting with a dolphin, so far from land and i asked would it give me a ride. of course it obliged. :) swam right under me and, how loving is that? we had to stay away from orcas of course, but we sang hu and - and i don't know what happened after that. i assume we made it safely to shore.
ta! have a great day.

[Dyrwen]

Sheesh, being in love and not doing anything about it is really weighting.

I need to stop watching so many movies.

[Taliesin]

We mixed up GMT and local time.
OK. We are a bit confused.
So 19.00 in GmT means 21.00 in local time? Not 17.00
:D Silly Us.

[Cassiopeia]

To sleep in is a beautiful thing.

[Snukes]

Sheesh, being in love and not doing anything about it is really weighting.

I need to stop watching so many movies.

Assuming this is not, in fact, a nonsequitur, I'd say you're either watching the wrong kind of movies, or you need to take up weight lifting. :nod:

[Koa]

I think yesterday was 2 years since I joined this forum. :goof:
Every comment is superfluous...except this: time flies..

[Scheherazade]

We mixed up GMT and local time.
OK. We are a bit confused.

:D Silly Us.

Tal, you are +2 GMT... Here's a good site (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html) for you! :)

ooh, happy forum birthday!

rt: i wonder why people apologize so often? i asked this cashier at the supermarket for change - he gave me 3 5's for a 10, so i spread them out and handed one back. he said "I'm sorry." !!!!!!!!! and when i told him no need to apologize to me he looked at me like i was loopy. i mean, i wasn't the one who'd've been $5 off at the end of the night.

[Stanislaw]

I think people apologize compulsivly, there was a study done on the use of sorry, and its variouse meanings, I will look it up and post a link, it is very enlightening!

[mikalcino]

i wonder free-masonry

http://www.globalfreemasonry.com/

[subterranean]

A fragile relationship, with lack of trust and continuous argument about the same issue, can bring serious effects to personal health :(

[Stanislaw]

I had a thought: knowledge is not knowing that one is smart but rather knowing that one knows relativly little, believing oneself to be extremely knowledgable is to be arrogant and therefore ignorant! :)

[amuse]

it was blizzard-ish today. my uni even cancelled evening classes, unheard of! and i was thinking, after making it safely inside - not easy, there was a bit of a white-out and the bus fogged up, so i ended up missing my stop by about 6 or 7 blocks - how beautiful it looks outside, rather like an eighteenth century greeting card plus cable and telephone wires. the trees were luscious, fat snowflakes resting on branches under a blindingly white sky. everything just purely, sharply bright and wouldn't you know i've loaned out my cam'ra? ...this was so worth the sharp pellets driven into my face.

[subterranean]

Totally Agree :nod:


And congrats Ash, you hit the 2000 button :D

[imthefoolonthehill]

i shot at eccentric rodents today.

picket pens.

cute little buggers anyways.... didn't manage to hit any, well, only shot at one, and it was with a 12-guage.... what can i say? It was handy.

[Scheherazade]

No thought is random.

[imthefoolonthehill]

nothing is random, merely too complex to comprehend.

[baddad]

No thought is random.


Totally disagree!!!

But I loved your time-zone website.....

[Scheherazade]

nothing is random, merely too complex to comprehend.

Or we are too blinded to see...

baddad,
if you think about it, even the most random thoughts we have, they are results of some extended thinking... A leads to B, which leads to C and D and E... Somehow we end up at K and think it is all random but when we backtrack our thinking process, it is all connected. IMHO

[subterranean]

random means no pattern..

[Stanislaw]

AsSiMiLaTeD hows that for random!?!?

[papayahed]

Can I call you Hugh?

[Koa]

I had a random thought last night before sleeping...or was it this morning when i woke up...anyay, i forgot it...

Anyway, i wanted to ask... what do you guys think about closing this topic and some others that reached a huge number of pages, and open them again in the new thread? I think it would be somehow easier to open a thread that has less then 87 pages.... ;)
(ok it's not of big importance, but I got used to this practice on a forum I used to go to, while every topic with more than 250 posts had to be closed and re-opened again...)

[imthefoolonthehill]

i like it the way it is....

[Stanislaw]

Can I call you Hugh?

Of course, all my close friends do! :D

[subterranean]

why would we want to close this legendary thread and replace it with a new one..

[Koa]

cos I don't like it when threads are too long... anyway it was just a suggestion, if noone agrees I can't really do anything about it... it's not *that* important, just I thought I'd say my opinion.

[Dyrwen]

Random thought that got added into a post on part of this board, "I do what I can to reply with my own opinion on subjects in kind to at least see if I can defend them, I'd appreciate it if at least some attempt to volley a return defense was waged instead of running to shove your head into the sand through wise men's words." Thought I'd share with some folks without the context.

In other news, I'm hungry but it's 5am and lacking snacks. heh, onward mighty night, absolve this emptiness with hours of unconscious sight.

[subterranean]

Of course Koa, sorry If I sounded rude there..

random thought..I broke up w/ my boy friend :(..The relationship only lasted for a month and few days..

[Stanislaw]

random thought, I hate chemistry and biology!!!!!! :mad: :rage: :mad:

[mono]

I feel very sorry to hear of your recent loss, sub, as such break-ups never right until the heart heals, which varies in time, of course. My opinion: perhaps your former boyfriend knew not of the luck he had. ;)

My random thoughts of the day:
Some good foods and drinks taste good by themselves, but not together; never eat green tea ice cream with mediocre coffee containing too much french vanilla cream.
Sleep deprivation rarely feels bad for the first day; the second day feels horrible.
Today's haiku:

Standing in clouded
sunlight with admiration,
it began to rain.

[Stanislaw]

HAHA sleep deprivation...I have been living off coffee for the last few days...

[subterranean]

Thank you Mono..that's very nice of you :)

Random: Wish someone invented a beverage which has the taste of coffee, tea, and fruit punch at the same time..


I feel very sorry to hear of your recent loss, sub, as such break-ups never right until the heart heals, which varies in time, of course. My opinion: perhaps your former boyfriend knew not of the luck he had. ;)

[amuse]

B. :( I say celebrate yourself. long bubble baths, self-indulgence - read whatever you want for however long, eat your favorite foods, window shop or for real shop, buy a very special coffee drink, smile to yourself, and totally pamper yourself. because you deserve it. and i'm sorry. what a very big loss for your poor boyfriend.

[subterranean]

Thank You Ash...you're so sweet :)...I was the one who made the call and I know that he's kinda blamming me for the decision I made, but I have too cause I feel and think that's what the best for us. We're still friends and I'm glad coz of that and I still love him very much.

[imthefoolonthehill]

I agree with Stanislaw...chemistry is the devil.

[Dyrwen]

Biology > Physics > Chemistry. You're quite correct in its suckage. heh

[Snukes]

Except for Redox reactions. Those are just fun. :)

Why is it I want to call a bastard a person who speaks the truth about my shortcomings?

[subterranean]

Cause you're human???

[Stanislaw]

Who likes short shorts???

[papayahed]

Nair likes short shorts?

[Stanislaw]

I like short shorts. :lol:

[atiguhya padma]

When I am self-critical, it is like splitting the atom: I can only criticise Atiguhya Padma when the 'I' is in the critic and not in Atiguhya Padma. This means that in the act of criticism I am forever creating lost 'I's and personality detritus. Sometimes I wish I could pin the 'I' down and expose it for what it is, but the focus of sincerity would never be there, for the I is no more than the now moment in time, and like Eliot's birds say of us humans, it cannot take too much reality.

[Helga]

Yesterday I was sitting at the local cafe and looking out the window. I always sit in the same seat were I can look at the sea and the ships and the boats. A group of birds started flying and I saw how much beauty is in this world. Things we take for granted like the ocean and people walking around. The birds were so free and amazing as they started flying. They bearly touched the ocean with their wings. I started talking to the girl that was sitting on the next table and she had been thinking about the same thing. We sat there for two hours talking about this beautiful world we are so fast forgetting. I wish I remembered her name. Sometimes the world is so beautiful I don't think I can handle it. I just want to curl up in my bed and forget it.

This was such a big revelation for me I just had to share it with someone.

[Taliesin]

Random thought:
Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhh!!
Thank you for your attention.

[Cassiopeia]

It's my stepmommy's birthday today, but it's MY unbirthday.

Happy Unbirthday to everybody else having an Unbirthday too!

*hums the Unbirthday song*

[subterranean]

I'm STUCK..help...

[papayahed]

A stick of butter usually works

[subterranean]

:D :D...really ehh? Well for regular stuck, it might work...but my stuck is a little bit different ;)

[imthefoolonthehill]

i'm seriously concidering which page I replied to last on each of the threads i frequent...

a spelling checker thingomobober might be helpppfool two.

[subterranean]

Meanwhile at table Eve ministered naked, and their flowing cups with pleasant liquors crowned. O innocence deserving paradise..

[Helga]

I can't decide witch brand of tobacco I should smoke.... Right now it's Wild Mango. I don't know if I should keep smoking that or try something else...just a random thought.

[Scheherazade]

How about none? ;)

*shines her 'Non-Smoker badge*

[Helga]

I smoke a pipe and I am only a social smoker.....I know, I know there no 'only' but it's soooooooo goood..........

[Jay]

*joins the non-smokers* just soooooo... ugh, no, thanks :)

[subterranean]

*joining the non smokers *

[imthefoolonthehill]

smokers are all evil. they are all sinners destined forever to burn in hell.

repent of your ways before it is too late!

see the light!

Don't light up!


























(you'd go crazy too if you had to listen to that bull**** all day long too)

[subterranean]

read....not listen..

[imthefoolonthehill]

no.... its not on the forum that i hear that crap... its at school.

[atiguhya padma]

My parents make Brave New World seem desirable

[Helga]

if I burn in hell because I smoke, than at least it's easy to light my pipe there, so it's fine by me. But aren't there any smokers here?

[Scheherazade]

I know it is me but I somehow expect a vegeterian to be a non-smoker as well... Why is that? :confused:

[Helga]

For some reason peole think that because I'm a vegetarian I am into a healthy lifestyle and greenpeace and all that. But I am not that into all that. I don't know why. All my friends smoke and I was starting to steal one or two sigarettes but when I found my dad's old pipe I decided to use it and well here I am.

[Dyrwen]

Guess that whole "saving the animals" ideal of vegans makes me think they're here to save the planet by definition as well. So it seems odd to see them spewing smoke into the air as they protect animals from being killed.

Personally I don't smoke, but I would if I had the money to keep up a good habit of it.

[subterranean]

Opssiee...someone's really got nailed in the head there Dyr..

[Dyrwen]

Yeah, heh, well I go to a Liberal Arts college that is literally a hippie school in WA, so I see it often enough and wonder how they're anti-corporation, as well as occasionally anti-capitalist here, yet they still buy ciggarettes from major industries..

Ah, random thoughts.

[imthefoolonthehill]

one of the first words i learned in german was ziggeraten (can't spell)... but it was everywhere.

[baddad]

if I burn in hell because I smoke, than at least it's easy to light my pipe there, so it's fine by me. But aren't there any smokers here?

I smoke. I despise the product and government that allows the sale of this addictive substance. Try introducing a product that regularly kills people on to the market. Uh uh! Smokers are now pariahs. We are a dying breed.....my bad...

[subterranean]

bad bad bad

;)

[Helga]

thank you baddad, I knew I wasn't the only one. I smoke a pipe and the tobacco I smoke is as much as in 7 sigarette packs, and my friends all smoke a pack a day but I have mine for a month so I don't really smoke that much...did anyone get that,I don't think I did.

[Psyche]

American Spirits...Food O' The God's. Frank Zappa once said, when asked about his eating habits in an interview that cigarettes are a food. You can't distrust Zappa.

[Taliesin]

We do not have enough strenth of will to start smoking - (for if we did, then We'd surely want to stop and wouldn't have the power of will to do it)

[Koa]

I know it is me but I somehow expect a vegeterian to be a non-smoker as well... Why is that? :confused:

Ah right, that's why I found it strange too.

I join the non-smokers but I dont mind the smokers as long as they don't do it in front of me in a closed space. I actually have smoked a few times in my life but never got the habit...it really doesnt interest me, except let's say once every 2 years, plus some random times. When I buy myself something stupid I think : oh well, I dont waste money in smoking, I can afford some little present...:D

[imthefoolonthehill]

so then i said, "that's not even a real cheesecake!"

[baddad]

Speaking of cheesecake, if Psyche's avatar is anything to judge by.......I think Psyche is getting the hang of this place.......or at least this thread......and really, who can argue with Zappa??

[Psyche]

Tipper Gore can, but he still constructed the argument into a very cool song. ('Porn Wars') :nod:

[Basil]

...and really, who can argue with Zappa??

I'll tell you who can't: THESE GUYS!! (http://www.ifilm.com/viralvideo?stage=setpref&pinfo=pg%3A700004%7Csid%3A1%7Cc%3Atrue%7Crcid%3A%7 Cprn%3A%7Ccid%3A1%7Ccr%3A1%7Cap%3A1%7Cpt%3A7%7Cpop %3A%7Cctxpg%3Apl%7Cmt%3Amov%7Crefsite%3A%7Cgl1%3Af alse%7Cuip%3A213.118.24.67%7Ccch%3A61%7Cuh%3A213.1 18.24.67%7Cit%3A6%7Cbw%3A200%7Clid%3A%7Cup%3A1%7Ci pf%3Aquickplayer%7Cfid%3A2658805%7Cstage%3Asniffer %7Cipt%3Aviral&hidUserPrefPlayer=mov&hidUserPrefBitrate=&ro=undetermined&rp=6+&wm=6.4&qt=6&fl=5&prefPlayer=mov)

The above link is Frank Zappa appearing on Crossfire in 1986, discussing the censorship of rock lyrics. I hate to give away the ending, but he wins. In a big way. He also tells one of the panel members to kiss his . . . ok, I'll shut up now.

[baddad]

Hello? Hmmm...they must have hung up. I think this pen is out of ink. Rolled up pieces of baloney make great hollow hotdogs.....

[Scheherazade]

puppies for sale

[Basil]

Rolled up pieces of baloney make great hollow hotdogs.....
Baddad, your luncheon-meat metaphors have always baffled me. Are you saying the link doesn't work? If this is the case (and you REALLY want to see the clip), go to www.ifilm.com and poke around till you find it. After all, a salami in the hand is worth two in the bush . . . it's an ill pastrami that blows no one any good . . . people in houses made of baloney shouldn't throw stones . . .

[imthefoolonthehill]

how much for a puppy?

[Scheherazade]

how much for a puppy?
Ask Basil. He is the one who lives at Daisy Hill Puppy Farm.

[Basil]

Silly Scher. You should know I reside only in the memory of the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, for the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm is no more. What, you might ask, happened to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm?

They tore it down. To build a parking lot.

And what did Snoopy say when he saw this?

He cried, "You stupid humans! You're parking on my memories!"

[Scheherazade]

So how much for a memory puppy then?

PS: You have to go realistic and ruin it all, dont ya?

[Jack_Aubrey]

Fridays are the proverbial weight off the shoulders. I love them so. :cool:

[Psyche]

I am not fond of Fridays, because they equal the end of my "weekend".

[baddad]

Random thought for today: I'm sick of winter. There seems to be lots of it here in Canada. Snow. More snow. Snowsnowsnowsnowsnow.....etc.


I think I'll go to the beach now....

[subterranean]

Oh Simple things, where have you gone..??

[imthefoolonthehill]

now there's a phrase that sticks in ones head after hearing a certain song.

[subterranean]

yeahh...it suits my style

[Stanislaw]

anyone ever here of spike jones, and his song, Der Fuhrer's Face??? :D

[amuse]

oh help, this (http://maki.typepad.com/justhungry/2005/03/wild_garlic_rav.html) picture is making me so hungry, and i just ate!!!

[subterranean]

Oh I'm Sory.....but what is that thing...???? ;)

[amuse]

edible roses.
well, garlic actually. ;)
over raviolis and nice melty cheese and something green, maybe pesto? - with more garlic, and oh i don't know but it looks cheesy and creamy and filling and smelly, so i could definitely eat seconds and thirds of it!

[subterranean]

And you need help with garlic..???? :)

[amuse]

:D oh no, you made me choke! (from laughing).

no, i needed help because i just wanted to gorge when i saw that, and i must after all not eat 3 dinners, i am not a hobbit (unfortunately ;)).

[subterranean]

I know what you mean Ash, was just teasing you ;)

[amuse]

what, hinting that i might need bottles of mouthwash? :p

[subterranean]

:D :D

I suppose you'll need 2 bottles :lol:

[mono]

This morning's random thoughts:
Trying too hard to remember last night's dream can get quite frustrating, but I remember calm rivers;
If "the best part of waking up is Folger's in your cup" (Folger's Coffee television slogan), one must have neither tastebuds nor sanity;
A very good recently-made motion picture soundtrack: Life Aquatic, featuring David Bowie in various, I think Portugeuse, languages.

[Psyche]

Norwegian.
my ovaries are gonna burst, they hate me, they hate me.
My cat is a psychotic Sun Goddess.

[Jay]

Gonna use mono's sentence-beginning: this morning's thoughts:

me: moooooom, go away, I just fell asleep two hours ago *growls and turns under the blanket*
mom: I told you not to stay awake that late... did you just say what I think you said? *looks pissed*
me: *crap, digging my own grave, are we?* I mean, I was reading stuff
mom: how many times do I have to tell you to go to bed and sleep at night!
me: uhm...
mom: come on, it's half past 9 already
me: *ughmmhggghhhhmhmfpphffm*
mom: *opens the blinds blinding me for about ten minutes* stop squinting and get up
me: *uhgmhugnuhg*

I'm just so happy to be at home again... NOT *dozes off*

[Taliesin]

You remind me some lyrics by Dagö:

One moment the day lacked,
perhaps the first hour of the morning
One moment because of which it seems
as if I only dreamt of sleeping.


I love that oxymoron.

[Jay]

me? I? :eek: niiiice, your other selves are asleep? :D

[Scheherazade]

Oh deja vu? Or our Tal is not well today? A personality crisis??

[Jay]

Personalities crisis ;)

[Taliesin]

Notice my new profile description? (I mean that little line over my avatar)

[Jay]

So for some time you're going to be 'you', then the other 'you', then another 'you', then yet another 'you'...

[Taliesin]

It's a toss up between playing harp or cross-stitching. I guess anything to keep my fingers busy when I'm not reading.



OT: I guess you are better than me. For me, I kept my fongers busy by playing recorder while reading sometimes.
I do not do it anymore. I have come attached to my flute more than my recorder - i think that recorder has a bit too small range and the thing is hard to do when playing flute for two reasons:
*It is much harder getting the tone right with the flute. When playing the recorder you get the tone right by blowing it. But flute is a very sensitive instrument when talking about tone. When starting to play you probably will get no tone at all for you do not know how to blow correctly.
*Recorder is smaller and i could use it for stopping the pages flapping.

[subterranean]

My eyes itch

[Jay]

*rubs Sub's eyes* is that better buddy? :p

[Psyche]

They just HAVE to turn off the water when I am finally motivated to take a bath, don't they? *roar*

[baddad]

.....uhh............FINALLY?????

[subterranean]

Hey have u wash your hands before you did that ???


*rubs Sub's eyes* is that better buddy? :p

[Shea]

Wow, I couldn't read and play to save my life unless it was lyrics. I've played the flute and the recorder too. The flute was definately better for the sound, but I couldn't get those higher notes at all. I was teaching myself, so maybe if I had an instructor I could've gotten it. Finally, I gave up but I find the harp more relaxing anyway.

[Stanislaw]

Two weeks and final exams be upon us like a fleet of starving dingos.

uhg, I wish it were past april already!

[Shea]

There is this annoying group of people who stand out side of Cooper Hall and condemn passersby. I hate that.

[Jay]

Hey have u wash your hands before you did that ???
Of course :brow:


NOT :goof:

but next time your eyes itch I will run to the nearest wc and wash my hands, then run back and rub yer eyes, sounds better? :p

[Helga]

I'm tired, but I don't want to sleep and I hate my job and will soon run out of sleeping pills and I wish I could sleep 'till noon and I wish it was darker outside and no clouds so I could see the stars and I wish I had more money and I wish I was better at school and I wish I could finish my book and I wish I wrote better poetry I wish I had more artistic friends and I wish I didn't complain so much, I am really annoying.

[subterranean]

Yes you are..

[lhaeber]

Helga, what you need is a gramme of soma and to go to the feelies this evening.

[subterranean]

Oh bad escape...lead to nowhere

[Psyche]

*pets Helga*
Would having 'more artistic friends' make you feel better about yourself?

[subterranean]

Why would we feel better coz of some else's quality/ability?

[Stanislaw]

Well we would, we would just simply assimilate their artistic abilities, and as a result be much happier! :D :D :D

[subterranean]

Stan..you seems happy...The new faculty suits you I suppose :D

[Stanislaw]

I hope so, if not we may actually need to invent nano technology!!! :D

[baddad]

Helga: Am I mistaken, or do you not live at 65 degrees north latitude, 18 degrees west longitude??? Winter darkness/dullness can last a friggin long time up there!!! Anyway, cheers, the sun is returning, it has in fact recently crossed the equator on its way to you!!!

Hang tough my friend.....

[subterranean]

that's nice baddad

[Stanislaw]

the sun will never come to alberta! :nod:

[Scheherazade]

sun?? what is that?? :eek:

[Stanislaw]

I think it was that warmish shiny thing, but i can't really remeber I haven't seen it for weeks, *grumble, damn canadian winter*

[lhaeber]

I saw my own shadow this morning! What is the light source?

[Shea]

I bought a new shield! Its a big wide-brimmed hat! Can I trade places with some of you? :(

[mono]

sun?? what is that?? :eek:
Indeed, that bright ball of light has disappeared from my home too. The first days of spring, since equinox, has brought no sun, but what can I expect from, statistically, the second rainiest city in the U.S.? :p

[baddad]

Well, I finally shot that damn rabbit....prancing, prancing, prancing through my yard with his basket of coloured eggs whenever he damn well felt like it.....never a "by your leave', or a "thank you".......he tasted pretty good in that fresh salad with sliced hard boiled eggs, roasted spiced rabbit meat and a little oil and vinigar dressing......and now for dessert, bunny ears dipped in chocolate.......mmmmmm.....good....

[Bongitybongbong]

Hey all i'm back for the time being.

[mono]

Welcome back, bong. :)
Where did you go?

[Jay]

Hey Bong, welcome back :D... no one wanted to play with me *sulks* even though AP played for a little while. Welcome back :wave:

[baddad]

yo, pimp daddy.............glad to see all is well.....welcome home....

Say, what kind of games you play?


Hey Bong, welcome back :D... no one wanted to play with me *sulks* even though AP played for a little while. Welcome back :wave:

[Jay]

:D No rumours, Sub ;)

[Shea]

Why do I keep getting e-mails from a woman that I don't know? She keeps sending pics of her son to a group of her friends and somehow I'm one of them, but I can't figure out why me? It's been happening for months and I can't figure out who she is! Why is that? Her baby is cute anyway!

[amuse]

i can't decide whether or not to change my major, but could definitely spend the rest of my life exploring the beauty of zero.

What rumour, Camper?

Random thought: I hate cold milk


:D No rumours, Sub ;)

[lhaeber]

I'm wondering how you're doing Sub, earthquake and all...

[subterranean]

I'm fine thank you...How are you?

Jakarta is located in Java Island, the quake took place in Sumatra Island. However, still feel the sadness for the victims...

[lhaeber]

I read it occured on the islands of Nias and Simeulue (off Sumatra) which I thought was NW of Jakarta, but I didn't know how many miles.
I myself, am feeling very fortunate for living where I do, no earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, nothing but lots and lots of rain.

[subterranean]

Java is not that far from Sumatra, but the point where the quake occured was quite far from Java. Yes you are lucky indeed. We're just about trying to stand on our feet again after the big Tsunami last December, yet another quake already knocked us down again..

[amuse]

i'm glad you're fine, B.

[Stanislaw]

Welcome back big pimp daddy!

And I send my wishes to SubT. I hope that you region recovers rapidly

[subterranean]

Thanks you too...that's very nice of you guys

[mono]

I cannot express my great amount of sympathy for you and your surrounding people, sub; following one unimaginably torturous natural disaster, another strikes. I hope everyone proceeds to a quick and successful recovery. :)

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech, or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell. Just them a woodpecker lands on the little sapling. The birch says, "Mr. Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" So the woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree and replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker into.

I was thinking of the pope today and wondering what will happen if he falls into a coma.

[Koa]

I was thinking of the pope today and wondering what will happen if he falls into a coma.


Isn't that what's happening, sort of? I tell you what happens: all the TVs talk about him 24/7 and tell the story of his life 35 times a day and I feel like screaming 'leave him alone, he's not dead yet, keep all this fuss for when he's dead!' (think about it, theu0ll run out of thing to say before he's actually dad, cos I'm sure it will take time cos the guy is really strong. Unless he recovers, but then they'll scream to the miracle and it might be the day I smash all the TVs I find...). Then I switch on the satellite tv to find out if anything else is happening around the world.

[lhaeber]

Yes, yes yes. Too much information repeated, don't need to see it on every channel, they will run out of things to say. I don't think he's in a coma (haven't turned it on tday) but makes me think of Angels and Demons (Dan Brown) and all the events which will happen in choosing a new one if his heart does finally give in. I saw a headline last night saying, he knows he's dying. I mean, come on.

[amuse]

well,
i'm not catholic or even christian, but i was always impressed by Pope John Paul II. a great man has passed. R.I.P., Karol Wojtyla.

[lhaeber]

something was said at my local coff shop, our newspaper was late in their delivery, they stalled the final printing, everyone's guess was waiting for the pope to die for the headline.

[baddad]

A man has passed. Rest in peace, Karol Wojtyla (sp?)

[amuse]

as i was falling asleep, it occurred to me that he will probably not have an easy time resting! a very on-the-go, dedicated man, he was. :)

[Koa]

Well I'm in a personal battle against the church these years, but the guy was great indeed... It is quite a historical moment. I'm very curious about the succession

My random thought of today was actually personal (never said I'm not selfish ;)): yesterday i was wondering what was happening to myself. Since I've become more open to the world, I feel I'm going more and more brainless...Where is my poetry, my originality, my difference from the world, my uniqueness...Am I becoming a boring copy of the others? Basically I was almost missing my depression...
But today I'm feeling more like myself cos last night I went out with some of the "normal" youth, and a guy's behaviour reminded me why I spent my teenage years alone: cos most people I knew where like him and I just can't stand people who worship the concept of Saturday night with sentences like "we can't spend a saturday night in an icecream shop" and most of all "why the hell are they talking about such serious topics? It's not a topic for a Saturday night". it pisses me off, I can do anything and talk about anything if I feel like it, I don't feel obliged to act "cool" (cool is in their mind of course) and talk crap just because it's Sat. night. Argh, what a damn mentality.
So I felt that I'm still not totally part of what I call "the world of normal youth", cos even if the other people were nice and fun, I didnt feel I belonged totally to their world anyway. And in a way I was relieved...I'm not omologated yet...

[frozenlight]

damn... some french guy/girl is suposed to stay at my place for a week. arriving in a couple of days... why the hell have i entered this stupid school exchange? i don't have any idea what he/she's like and with my luck, he/she'll be just like one of those people koa described above, self-sufficient and sooo "cool" and "trendy" or whatever they're called... and i'll probably wanna kick his/her butt right outta my house, and we'll hate each other, and i'll waste time... like always. missed enough school already for a stupid contest...
crap.

[lhaeber]

What I wouldn't give for a good old serious group discussion in an ice cream shop on Sat. night. I had two grps of friends (I'm a little older than you Koa), thru teens, early 20's, one was a bunch of vacuums, no debates, no current events (unless you count gossip), the other, high intellects, but felt they were elitists. Didn't fit in really with either, so uncomfortable. It's great to be in the latest fashion, lovely looks, prestige, but really, it comes down to having a nice house but nobody is home. Would have been nice to have a hybrid of the two. Now, I have husband who thinks his harley is the topic for every discussion, friends who only talk of their kids, work, etc. No wonder we go to a small corner of the room, write, draw, think, at least we get what we want, you know?

[baddad]

Wow......lhaeber......in my mind I just incorporated your signature phrase into your little note above...........my own intrepretation slipped in there... *jeez I'm weird*

I think it is so crucially important to be ourselves. This can be most difficult with ongoing relationships. People don't like change. Personal growth upsets a comfortable balance between friends, spouses, etc. I change so often, find new interests at a dizzying rate, and this often confuses those close to me. But I cannot live my life for the benefit of others, though I would never go out of my way to injure someone's feelings or expectations. The Ice Cream Shop sounds like fun, and like all experiences, it should be an experience to savour, but alas this particular activity is attractive only for some. And that is okay too. Onward and upward to a full life, and best wishes to those who will not sit and chat at the parlour. All we can ask of our friends/relations is the space to be allowed to be ourselves. Surely they can grant us this simple wish.......

[lhaeber]

When I am myself, maybe quietly thinking and not pleasing everyone around me, then ultimately I am asked, what is wrong? Pleasing others THEIR way is a fact of life, I cannot contentedly behave the way I wish when in company of others who are extremely extroverted or those whose only subject matter is flat, empty topics. I find it selfish (my own issue) to read while my son flitters around me, so I have to pay attention to him. Same as in high school for example, impossible to wear what you want, carry what you want, without drawing attention and then having to respond. It's so hard to advise my son, be yourself, when being yourself, not conforming, attracts negative attention. Don't get me wrong, it can work, but you have to have such a strong sense of self initially, and that comes with time, experience. I don't even feel I have it yet, at my age, yet I am calm, cool and collected with myself. Hell, I like me. But asking others to let me be me in their company is excrutiating. That's why, I suppose, strangers are so enticing, I can breathe. What I wouldn't give, to travel as you have...why does that make me think of Johnathan Livingston Seagull?

[baddad]

...all good stuff.....thanks for sharing.....

I've raised children as well, and they have inherited my love of adventure, my need to understand my world and a sense that enlightenment is a critically important goal. .....but at my age (47) I've no great yearning to parent again......it is tough work no matter how you approach it. I started throwing the kids out of airplanes when they reached 18yrs old.....great fun if your a parent...something to look forward to... ( :

And...

.....yeah......good old Johathan Livingston Seagul.............he had a bit of a messy end though didn't he? I suppose my own approach to life, trying everything, trying to see everything, attemting to accumulate as many experiences as possible may also lead to some abrupt end, but then life is so short that abrupt endings are really the norm......

[lhaeber]

I love an abrupt ending. Not that I wish it for you though. Fading out would be nicer.
I've been thinking about my own version of hell this morning, being agnostic and all, I wonder where I will go because I've been killing slugs in my yard this morning and it just doesn't feel right.
I also wonder what baby came into the world at the same time the pope left. And lastly, can the Swiss Guard really feel masculine in all that wardrobing?

[papayahed]

I was wondering that same thing about the Swiss guard, can they take themselves seriously? Are there like 2 types of swiss guards, the "ornamental" guards and the badass, kill you just as soon as look at you guards?

[lhaeber]

I love that, ornamental. I mean, really, puffy sleeves? Unless they're hiding weapons in them, what's the point? Although ninja outfits would take away from the whole peace and serenity aspect of the vatican, I would take it more seriously.

[Stanislaw]

Does one really want armed assins that kill someone without flinching... in the vatican... the capital of peace??? :confused:

[kilted exile]

* sorry wrong thread.

[Stanislaw]

all's forgiven!

My fish tank is finally clean.

[Monica]

Swiss guards are really cute :) Just like the Guardians in England.
I know you're all probably fed up with reading about the death of the Pope but you know, here in Poland the stuff really depresses us. You can see it while just wandering through the city. Flags everywhere, and the people all extremely sad. I've never seen something like that before. Till the funeral there's national mourning and on TV the Pope the whole time is showed. I wish there was sense in all this

[papayahed]

Does one really want armed assins that kill someone without flinching... in the vatican... the capital of peace??? :confused:


ok, how about gaurds that can use force when protecting the vatican but only as a last resort?

[Stanislaw]

That would be a bit more acceptible. Did ye all here that there are going to be swat teams, bomb crews, and snipers there. that is just nuts. :mad:

A fella (he's a .com millionaire) in the states goes into an airport for a flight, the attendant at the counter asks him for his i.d., he declines, she says it's the law, he says show me the law, she (and anyone else) can't...now he's in supreme (me thinks) court fighting this lack of law which is a law, about carrying identification to fly. I'm thinking, what a waste.

[lhaeber]

ok, how about gaurds that can use force when protecting the vatican but only as a last resort?

Swiss Guards have suits of armor, with swords weighing thirty kilos, but these are used only for escorting the Pope during special ceremonies in St. Peter's (you know, for assassination attempts, and the like).
Just to beat this topic to its death :rage:
They must be Roman Catholics, unmarried, between 18 and 25 years of age, and they must also be good-looking. (nice, nonjudgemental christian prerequisite). Officially they are supposed to be over 1.74 meters tall, but nowadays this regulation is not enforced too strictly.
A long-standing tradition holds that the uniforms were designed by Michelangelo, (I always thought they had a definitive Versace look about them)

hmm, that would be interesting... on that thought what would happen if the borg assimilated a jedi??? would they get jedi powers??? :confused:

On that same idea, if they assimilated a good jedi would the jedi overpower the borg's need to assimilate? then what would happen to the borg, isn't their primary function to assimilate.

Wow, the possibilities!!!!

crap.

whaaat??? clean your mouth after saying this! There's nothing bettere than a school exchange, even when people are like that! I'm still pissed off cos we were supposed to have 2 exchanges and we did only once...and that was years and years ago.
And there's always a good excuse to miss school, if there are exchanges going on you wouldnt miss anything important anyway.

On explanation to my previous post, it's not about being shallow cos I can be so embrassingly shallow if I want (and even if I don't), it's all about not having to do something just cos it's cool to...it makes me go MAD :rage: And the conversation that was going on wasn't even that heavy....just a topic to discuss about.

Wow baddad mentioned his age...I thought he was around 35 ... really...

And about the Swiss guards:

They must be Roman Catholics, unmarried, between 18 and 25 years of age, and they must also be good-looking. (nice, nonjudgemental christian prerequisite). Officially they are supposed to be over 1.74 meters tall, but nowadays this regulation is not enforced too strictly.

[kilted exile]

Ok, this thought is not exactly random. However it is the only thought that has been in my head since Sunday.

WARNING: RANT AHEAD

What the hell is wrong with people in Glasgow? I am currently truly ashamed to say that I am a fan of Glasgow Rangers Football Club.

They have always been associated with protestantism, however I overlooked the years of refusing to sign players of the Catholic faith. I didn't pay attention to it because I was far more interested in just watching the games.

Once I became a little older, I began to understand the references being made in the songs, like the battle of the boyne; King William of Orange; being up to their knees in fenian blood. Once I understood these references I stopped attending the matches, only watching on TV from then on.

However the events of Sunday have made me physically sick, and I am seriously considering stopping paying attention to the team.

During their match on Sunday, sections of the crowd seemed to take extreme pleasure in singing about how the Pope was dead. This was completely beyond the realm of acceptable behaviour in society (even in Glasgow where society has become nearly non-existent) I had expected some chants due to the contingent of moronic, bigoted, generally insane "fans"(often they are supporters of the likes of Ian Paisley) who come over from Northern Ireland to watch the games. The volume of the songs however make me quite sure that it was not a minority involved.

RANT OVER

[atiguhya padma]

My commiserations. I've always been intrigued by Scottish football. Like the religion of Glasgow, it all seems to be about two teams. Which makes life rather boring for the likes of Hearts or Hibs or Aberdeen. Being an atheist, Gretna are probably the natural analogy for me (despite their great achievements this year, they only manage to muster a thousand or so fans for a game).

But, to get back to your point. It does appear rather pointless to me to have a religious faith that glories in the sufferings of people with other beliefs.

[subterranean]

I suddenly remember this day, when this lady came to our house and brought along a small radio. It seemed that she was selling it to my mother in need of money. I was still 6 years old at that time. Me and my brothers were so excited since we have no other entertaiment at home at that time. My mom bought it and she said "Now we can hear great Christmas songs and music this year".

OH yeah! First day of golfing for me this year. Sunny, 17degrees celcius (not exactly 'steamy", but, swinging a club, smashing something white and defenceless, kinda feels like the baby seal hunt.........

Funny, sub, as I can partially relate to this story. The first time I saw a cellular phone, I remember wandering through my downtown home city, Portland, and a very distinguished, clean-cut looking man in a nice business suit passed us talking into what looked like a large gray-colored brick with a black antenna. Being only a child, I pointed at the cell phone, tugging my mom's hand, and loudly asked, "mom, what is that thing?" "It's a portable cellular phone," she replied.
At the time, I thought, only relatively wealthy people could afford them. Who would have thought that numerous people cannot leave their homes without their cellular phone? :nod:

[ajoe]

Had a shift, was going to do some chem afterward, but was too tired/lazy and went doodling/making up stories instead. It was fun but didn't make me feel good. :(

Also, I really hate people who list The Da Vinci Code first as one of their favorite books. Worse if that's their only favorite book. Okay, so let's read only what everyone else has read and thought good and then have the same opinion. Geez.

Okay, so let's read only what everyone else has read and thought good and then have the same opinion. Geez.' I agree Ajoe, some people like to say they have read books just to be kind of snobbish and up to date. I haven't read the Da Vinci Code but know someone that has and they thought it interesting enough, but a bit too long and full of impossible coincidences - not the best book in the world.
I have just finished reading a book called Forever Today by Deborah Waring. It is about a man who has had his memory almost completely wiped out by a virus. The only thing he remembers is his wife and that he loves her. Every moment is the one he just woke up in. He keeps a diary to keep track if his days but can't understand the former entries where he has written that he just woke up. Because he doesn't remember being awake then, so he thinks the entry is wrong...even though he might have written it only a couple of minutes before.It is a true story and I couldn't put it down. It's impossible for such a story to have a happy ending, but miracles do happen and the book does have a happy ending.

[Sancho]

Hey Fool, can’t help you too much with ellipses, (or para-bolas or hyper-bolas for that matter). ‘Bout all I remember from calculus is: although the Taylor Expansion Theorem wouldn’t necessarily solve an integral equation – it’d get you close enough.

More Ranting (different subject however)

Ok, I have just returned from my local bar/restaurant where along with a couple of my friends we were celebrating the end of the days exams and taking advantage of the cheap food night.
After we were done the bill came to $65 (cdn), so we threw down $70, and proceeded to get on our coats to leave. It was at this point that our waitress returned and queried the size of tip we had left her (she was of the opinion she should have recieved more).
I disagree with tipping at the best of times (sure as hell no-one ever tips me for my work - I work in a hardware store part-time), however to come up to a group of customers and ask why you didnt get a bigger tip is imho the height of bad manners. We are quite obviously college students and have very little spare cash as it is, needless to say she managed to put a decent downer on what was to be a relaxing night.
Before we left we all emptied the pennies etc. out of our wallets and left a note for her telling her that we hoped she enjoyed spending it.

I've gotta rework the body part, I stole it from a shielded borg, so, I'll be trying something new!

Just the thought of someone remarking that the creature as beautiful as a woman is,not to mention a giver of life with something so sleasy as the word CHICK needs to have their thick brick head opened up for reavaluation and branded,is this brain worth contradiction or even worth examining?

[Stanislaw]

I do have to agree with you, 'chick' has some rather negative connotations.

uhoh, so are you saying I should stop using the word chick when refering to women? What about when refering to myself, can i call myself a chick? I can use something else I guess, which should I resort to: skirt? broad? dame?

As a person in the world I want to ask everyone a question?
Why the h*** do you throw yourself away?

[baddad]

Okay, I give up. Why do I throw myself away? And what exactly are you talking about?
