Random Thought of the Day

[ajoe]

Oh my gosh, I'm getting addicted to this forum!!! :eek:

[ajoe]

It used to be sort of dead, you see.

[emily655321]

LMAO :D It's a madhouse!!

[verybaddmom]

Help, i cant keep up!

[ajoe]

Hey, I just realized the Spanish word for girls is "chicas." Is that where the slang "chicks" derived from?

[ajoe]

Wow, I better get off the computer soon and start doing my homework.

that's very cool. i often wondered where that slang came from, in fact that is written down as one of the things i wanted to ask the etymologist guy....very good observation.

[emily655321]

LOL actually, that may be so. But my AP English dude told us (when we read The Sun Also Rises *puke*) that it was brought back from France by the WWI soldiers. Because the French slang for hookers was "les poules" -- chickens.

[verybaddmom]

hmmm...now im confused
thanks ever so much!

[ajoe]

So does chicks mean hookers or what? *confused*

[ajoe]

In the meantime, some guys sure are freaky. *shiver*

[ajoe]

Thanks to the * thing I'm gonna stop using emoticons to express myself. :(

[emily655321]

LoL. Well, I think the word "chicks" went through the same phase as the word "hoe" is now. Which some people use to describe all women. Which isn't nice. But I guess that's why "chick" is a traditionally guy thing to say. I think with the whole beat/rock'n'roll scene it started to mean just "girl."

[simon]

I have only heard women referred to as chicks or hoes in movies.

[papayahed]

I refer to women as chicks but usually only when I'm talking to friends and I am woman.

And back in the day my friends and I were gonna form a rock band that was antithetical to New Kids on the Block (that dates me doesn't it?) called New hoes in the 'hood.

[den]

And people in the UK sometimes refer to females as `birds' of course in a complimentary fashion :p

[random_hero]

I made a website named my sexy robotics one time.

[verybaddmom]

i have a tendency to refer to women as chicks on occasion. but to me a chick is a specific type of female. as was mentioned earlier (in this thread or another, i dont remember) there are women who are obsessed with makeup and shopping and really girly girl activities...they are chicks to me. something nice to look at, but with little substance. (and yes women look at women too)

[papayahed]

I always think women who smack their gum as "chicks"

How come there really aren't that many names for guys?

[verybaddmom]

well, the most common one where i live is not flattering and sounds alot like chicks.....
but you are right, i think. there are way less nickname-type handles for men....
hmmmmm...
perhaps we should make some up, in the name of equality for the sexes.

[Koa]

...and i thought 'chick' just meant girl... :eek:

[ajoe]

Okay, this is a thread on random thoughts, not the slang chicks. Move on!!

[imthefoolonthehill]

I just realized that i never noticed the taste of my own gums....

[Lara]

I greet the women I know, "hey chick", but I only hang out with 'cool chicks', not the catty, vile or vicious kind.

I can think of several names to call men, but they wouldn't be allowed here. Anyway, I adore men and wouldn't call them any bad names.

[verybaddmom]

shhh...lara...didnt you hear? we are not allowed to discuss slang chicks on this thread. it is ONLY for random thoughts. the forum police will force us back on track....

however, a new thread on slang language?? another great idea!

[imthefoolonthehill]

i was expecting a host of people to say wow at my incredible revelation.

[verybaddmom]

i might have, had i understood why and how you were doing such a thing. but confusion leaves me feeling stupid and so i just pretended that you didnt post.
now, i must say "wow", just to appease the bellwether of self tasting.
(also, that is "wow", in the most respectful of manners, i havent forgotten what happens when one says "wow" around here...)

[imthefoolonthehill]

... what happens when one says wow around here?

[verybaddmom]

http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2349

there was a time when a new member came online and asked a bunch of questions that were fairly difficult to understand and non-specific (if i remember correctly) and Kik's only reply was "wow". his post was deleted by a mod and there was a brief but very warm battle over censorship in the forum. i was mostly just kidding, but i am always more careful what i reply with since that.

[imthefoolonthehill]

so... it was deleted because it was mean or because the guy thought it was a post for the sake of his post count

[verybaddmom]

it was taken to be snide, or mocking in nature. but i dont believe that was the intention. anyhow...its all over now. i was just making a joke in reference to it. for funny. haha

[amuse]

"wow" was a "whew!" to a "?" that seemed obvious, but was viewed as unwelcome and cruel, 'specially to a newcomer.

[imthefoolonthehill]

new random thought: and I thought the intercomm in my room would be convenient... *eyeroll*

[Stanislaw]

Have you ever noticed how many games are on this forum?

[ajoe]

*shrugs and blinks innocently*

[ajoe]

Mood swing: wee!:D oo...:( wee!:D oo...:( wee!:D oo...:(

[amuse]

looks like :( fun! :D don't go over the top!

[subterranean]

O gee, I thought I was going to meet someone cute...
But he was a nice guy..!

[fayefaye]

[random thought]

If spiders ruled the earth, we would be screwed.

[subterranean]

Ahh...but what about spiders men...

are we going to be screwed up too?

[ajoe]

We have enough Spidermen to entertain us.

Oh i know, hahahhahahah

Where'd spidy learn my dance moves????

LMFAO!!! :D Spiderman -- the lesser known 6th member of the Village People.

More randomness! Wanna see my college? (I love saying that.)

Oh, thanks verybadmom! I had a look at that link and got relief. I'm walking here with fear that someone can laugh at my English. The fact that it's forbidden here made me glad. Thanks to ADMIN and to others who put up with mistakes of foreigners

[ravana]

And Great thanks to AMUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[emily655321]

Hehe Yeah, Kik wasn't laughing at their English, though, Ravana. There are plenty of people here for whom English isn't their first language, but no one (I don't anyway) thinks twice about it. We're all just here talking and having fun. :D Don't worry about it.

[ravana]

Thanks, em! I don't know the reason but you seemed me a little abrupt, so hearing this from you is really great for me.

[verybaddmom]

Ravana, Em's sense of humor is fast and at times dry, but always to be taken with a grain of salt. her heart is big and warm and always kind (so far as i can see), so never ever take her comments as a personal poke in the ribs. there is little offense to be taken here, as i think that everyone here is accepting and friendly. if there is a comment made that can be taken in more than one way, take it in the nicest possible way. subtleties, sarcasm and dry wit abound here....

as far as language barriers..there are none: if you are not understood someone will ask for clarification. for the most part i hear the posts as though they are spoken, and for fun i like to add little accents. having people from all backgrounds adds a depth to this forum that is missing on many others.

[ravana]

Thanks, v.b.mom! (this is 4th one, I see I'm getting annoying with my "thanks") It's very nice of you.

Of course I will never do. So I wrote in past tense: seemed.

Amuse once helped me with my diificulty. I think it's better for us if you'll correct us.
I like tihis forum. In addition to enjoy literature talks, I'm improving my English by your writings.

[amuse]

oh, i just read your response. you're welcome. :)

[amuse]

and yeah, it's all good. most of us here to learn and share and ooh, have fun, too.

[emily655321]

Ooh, compliments for me. :D Thanks VBM. Hehe.

I'm glad you don't think I'm abrupt anymore, Ravana. But again, don't worry, you're not the only one to be perplexed or unnerved by my sense of humor. I have an awful habit of putting my foot in my mouth every time I open it. :D

[imthefoolonthehill]

plants are bad. plants give me allergies. Oxygen is good, plants give me oxygen... wow ... that is profound. Plants are good and bad. I should be a voodoo guru.

[ajoe]

@#%$ this day!!!

[emily655321]

I bet I could persuade a lot more men to wear more womens clothing if it wasn't made of such itchy, yucky-feeling synthetic fabric. Who is responsible for the continued proliferation of polyester, and why haven't they been killed yet? Do I have to do everything myself, people? :D

[imthefoolonthehill]

the only thing worse than going to a dance is not going to a dance.

[simon]

First you got to persuade women to wear women's clothing, some of that stuff is just nasty uncomfortable.

[imthefoolonthehill]

thats just creepy guys

[simon]

creepy?

[imthefoolonthehill]

yes... trying to get guys to crossdress... thats creepy.

[simon]

Alot of guys look good in dresses.

[ajoe]

I don't want to do my laundry but I'm running out of underwears. :(

[verybaddmom]

what does one say when her child forgets that it's mother's day?
*sniff sniff*
*feeling underappreciated*

[amuse]

btw, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY :)

[emily655321]

Happy Mother's Day VB! :D

[simon]

Oh no! Is it mothers day? I am in trouble now!

[GapingStarling]

Happy Mother's Day! :)

[ajoe]

hey simon, http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/boese/wife.gif --> do you feel guilty now?

[simon]

I been a bad bad bad child. I will burn under the eternal parental eye of doom. Alas, all ground has now been lost.

[ajoe]

http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/lachen/112.gif I don't why, but I've imagined you as someone who always speaks monotonously and you sound darn sarcastic it's funny!

[ajoe]

http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/diverse/2112.gif --> The guy is on FIRE!

[emily655321]

*gasp* I frickin love that thing. :D

By the way, I don't mean all guys should go around in garter belts or something. But long skirts look so neat on them. :D Besides, what's this with women getting pestered to hell and called butch and all sorts of strange reactions, unless they wear tight shirts and heels and things. But men wear whatever baggy-a** junk they want like they're sex gods in a potato sack? DOUBLE STANDARD.

[emily655321]

Oh, I almost forgot my random thought. Okay, two random thoughts.

BAD: She renegged, the witch! AAAGGHHH!!! *levels several small cities* Last week I called to follow up on my application for like the fifth time, and the manager said, "Oh, great! We need people. How soon would you be able to start? Call me next Sunday and we'll have the schedules all worked out." So I called today and she said, "Oh, thanks Emily. We don't need a new person right now, but we'll be hanging on to your name, all right?" And I very sweetly said, "Okay, that's fine. Thanks. Bye." :mad: :mad: :mad: I'm so angry. So I don't have a job after all. She definitely led me to believe I was starting, like THIS WEEK.

GOOD: Small children in church usually suck, especially due to their utter lack of volume control. But it kind of made my day this time. :D I was late to go over the psalm with the organist, so I was hurrying down to the church. There was an old lady and like a 4-year-old girl, the old lady said "hi," I said "hi," I hurried past them. When I was about five feet past the little girl said loudly to her grandma, "She's pretty." Grandma was like, a little embarrassed, "Yes, she is, isn't she?"
:D :D :D :D :D

[ajoe]

^ A darn long thought. I can't have that big of a thought; my concentration span is too short.

[emily655321]

LOL sorry, I'll try to keep them shorter. :D

[ajoe]

That wasn't at all a rebuke.

[simon]

Allow me to inform you ajoe that I am fully capable of using my voice in the most unmotonous ways such as yelling at dogs while in a foul temper, or was that a child, it's so hard to tell the difference between the two.

[ajoe]

Oh, well, it's kind of hard to tell when we're not face-to-face :p (something to hate about communicating via writing only)

[ajoe]

Why do people in this forum have a tendency to go off-topic? One thread with a subject of one thing can go on discussing something else!

[emily655321]

I thought this was the "go off topic" thread? :confused: (It's called "random thoughts," after all.)

[simon]

Random thought: Why do you always have to run to catch the ice cream man? Is he not paying attention? Is it part of the experience? Being older than 10 I'd rather calmly approach the truck and order my ice cream, maybe I'm supposed to go to the store now to get it, but there's little amusment in that approach to quench my sweettooth.

[papayahed]

It's our primal tendency to hunt for food. It's an accomplishment to run down prey (in this case ice cream) on the street rather than go into the store and see shelves lined with "prey" ...

[emily655321]

Nah, it's because ice cream man is a menial, hot, part-time summer job and he gets paid whether he stops or not. He'd prefer not to have to deal with swarms of children trying to make up their mind and shouting at him all at once.

[ajoe]

lol, yeah this is the Random Thoughts thread, but we also go off topic elsewhere (such as at Koa's 1000th post) :D :D

[ajoe]

Are English-speaking people that egocentrical that they feel they need to capitalize "I"?

[ajoe]

I've been spending way too much time here. WHy??!?

[simon]

You have been sucked into the vortex of time wasting.

[ajoe]

Hmm... but I registered much, much earlier than you did and yet you have more posts than me...

[emily655321]

Oh, the 2004 members here are craaaaazy posters. Don't even try to match us. :p We're a new race of cyborg-like posting machines.

[Shea]

I just learned that "rule of thumb" came from the Patriarchal idea that a husband could lawfully beat his wife so long as what he used was no wider than his thumb.

I was wondering, where did "stiff upper lip" come from?

[emily655321]

Yeah I knew about the rule of thumb. I think that used to be part of American law too, until the 19th c. or something.

It means you look serious; your lip isn't bent in a smile or a frown. I believe.

[Shea]

Oh! That makes sense. I've always heard it used to describe a degree of toughness. I thought fighters had to keep their lips stiff for some reason! :p (obviously I'm not a fighter.)

[papayahed]

This may seem like a stupid question, but is everybody here literature majors or doing something in that field?

[emily655321]

That's a good question. I'm gonna go for visual art of some kind, but if the school had majors/minors, I'd say I'm minoring in literature. I find it to be more interesting, but art just happens to come most easily. Even if I'm uninspired I can pick something from life. Not many people would pay just to read a description of a street scene or something.

[simon]

I am majoring in Greek and Roman Studies, an oh so useful major when applied to job searching after graduation.

[ajoe]

Wow, when did I become a Bibliophile instead of a Book Worm?

[imthefoolonthehill]

historically.... who were the death heads brigaide??? I keep on hearing about these guys in computer games set in WWII... but never learned about them on hist. channel or in class. Does anyone know?

[emily655321]

ajoe -- when you hit 200. You can make up a status now. :D

Fool, I'll ask my dad. He plays an MMO WWII game all the time. And he's also ammassed a formidable amount of knowledge on Nazi Germany, so he may have heard of them in that context.

[ajoe]

Great. Look at me, I'm FOB of the board! (And darn proud of it!)

[imthefoolonthehill]

FOB? whats that?

[ajoe]

hehe... go to www.urbandictionary.com
It defines all the slangs you need to know!

[amuse]

why does the northern hemisphere face up? just 'cause of the mapmakers/explorers from back when? maybe the earth is sideways, and the poles are really east/west. why isn't the earth "upside down" from the viewpoint of people "below" the equator, or why isn't antarctica "north" for them????

[emily655321]

European settlers. And northerly-oriented astronauts.

Hurray, ajoe! I've been looking for a slang dictionary for so long.

[amuse]

my head's spinning :D :D is yours?

[amuse]

my point is there's no direction to space. it's so weird to hear of "buying a star" :rolleyes: for mom as a mother's day gift :p and assigning up/down/sideways directions to a spinning thing in the universe.

[imthefoolonthehill]

thats something I always wondered. I think it has something to do with how narrow the continents get to the south... looks like thin legs big upper body or something... and i found out what fob meant for the record

[amuse]

we have almost as many members as threads

[emily655321]

We should start PMing the heck out of the people who have never posted.

[imthefoolonthehill]

what good would it do? unless of course they have the setting that sends them an email for every pm

[emily655321]

I just like thinking of them getting bored and returning to the site in a few months to find their message box full of strange comments.

[ajoe]

That's a good idea! (Wow, we really should get a life!)

[simon]

That would be a nice change, to have a life. I could go to the alps and herd goats like I've always wanted and make goat cheese and live in a cave and when I run out of wood in the winter and it's a choice of freezing or burning the complete works of shakespeare I will have to make a real life decision.

[ajoe]

A new thought: People who invented pop-ups deserve to die!!!

[simon]

An old thought: yes, yes, yes.

[emily655321]

Safari has a pop-up blocker. :p Nya nya.

Now, porn bots in chatrooms should die.

[edit] I guess I'll stick my "good night" here. See you gals tomorrow. :)

[amuse]

ooh, and here's tomorrow!

2 random thinks:
do you ever wonder what faces the other person makes when they hang up the phone, and what little sighs, exclamations, etc.?

and have you ever compared 2 books and found out one (that was supposedly highly detailed) has left stuff out!!!
(am doing in-depth flash cards for muscles, and my text is missing three - three i tell you! - that the anatomy coloring book has. and i'm only on musk-els of the face.)

[emily655321]

Yeah, during the anatomy part of my Psychology class he always asked us to identify the thalamus. But almost no diagrams included it. There were two in the text book and apparently it was there somewhere in the brain cross-section transparency, but I couldn't decide which thing it was. The two diagrams in the same book showed it in two different places! But he always asked us to identify it on quizzes and tests and I don't think I ever got it right. (I still only know that it's one of the little dark lobes under the hypothalamus.)

[amuse]

mmph. :rolleyes:
my text is missing the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, the levator anguli oris, and the nasalis. they're shown in diagrams, but nothing!'s written about the origins, insertions, actions, et ceteras.
glug.
um, the hypothalumus is under the thalamus. like hypoglycemics are under the weather. ;)
don't take that last bit literally, anyone! :D

[ajoe]

Interesting. I'm using a computer in the public library and someone just visited this forum! Hmm... I wonder what's his/her username... or is he/she one of the lurkers??

(Agh!! The keyboard sucks!!)

[verybaddmom]

ooh. that is so cool Joe. imagine your bum might be warmed right now by the residual heat left from mine! lol
its so neat that we really have no idea where we all are in the big scope of things. i was talking to my bf about this forum a bit over the last week, as he really had NO idea how much time i spend on it (long distance relationships make things like that easier to miss) and he was stunned when i told him. and btw, he thought we were all geeks. i defended us for a while, and then came to the conclusion that maybe he's right, but who cares...we are smart geeks. anyhow, i was trying to explain that feeling of comraderie that i feel on here; how i was helped along with my writers block, how i can share virtually everything i might think and not be judged etc. and its really difficult to explain to someone that is not a part of it. really kind of cool. makes me feel like part of a secret society (that i can take with me when i move!)

[ajoe]

Fast fact:
A nerd is a smart oddball
A geek is a nerd-wannabe who's not really smart

I don't know about you, but I'd rather be called a nerd than a geek. :p

[verybaddmom]

fine...nerds are us.

And ajoe, way to spoil my status. :p (j/k)

[verybaddmom]

you could be nerdy birdy? ooohhh wordy nerdy birdie!
i need a life

[verybaddmom]

i also need something to put in there in place of Bibliophile...any suggestions?
(my imagination is on holidays.)

[emily655321]

LMAO a wordy nerdy. Meh, isn't it kind of a geeky thing to be analyzing the technical differences between "geek" and "nerd," anyway? :D

[ajoe]

^ Meh? You're stealing my expression!

[ajoe]

Are we constantly posting or what? Hey emily, aren't you in school or something?

[emily655321]

:D Am not, Lisa Simpson said it. "M-E-H. Meh." I forget the context.

[emily655321]

No, not in school. Graduated last June. Taking a year off before college. (countdown: 78 days!! :D)

[Koa]

I read almost the whole thread...and I'm rather lost.
Enjoy the randomness...

I'm so tired tonight...zzzzz... watch out for my posts, they might make less sense than ever!

[emily655321]

It's effing hot here. :( :mad: :(

[papayahed]

Why does it always thunder and lightening just before bedtime, they know my dog is scared of these things and she keeps me up all night?

[papayahed]

"they" being the governmental deaprtment in charge of weather.

[amuse]

it's effing hotter here. i hope. for your sake. i'm turning into a puffball, a human hippo. damn humid weather already!

[verybaddmom]

it snowed in calgary today. so my bf is dring his convertible alfa romeo in the SNOW!!?? yikes. i guess you cant count on the weather here to stay stable. sun shines, flowers bloom, snow flies, flowers die....and the circle continues.

[Koa]

It's wonderfully cold here for May :):):) It's like March. Last year at this time of day we had 15 degrees (centigrades!!!) more than this year. I wouldn't mind if it was like this for the whole summer, after all I suffered last year :D

[ajoe]

Someone tell me it's gonna be all right. :( :( :(
Or convince me in a 500-word essay why I shouldn't be all upset.

[amuse]

humid weather is like swimming in a sauna.

[amuse]

i'm glad we can't discuss politics here.

[ajoe]

I'm glad I'm not even interested in politics!

[verybaddmom]

random thought: saturday is "Armed Forces Day" both in Canada and US. i wonder if anyone here cares? or has plans for it?

[imthefoolonthehill]

maybe I will go target shooting... or fill out one of those forms that the military academies send me so I will recieve more information....

[emily655321]

*has never heard of Armed Forces Day* :eek:

*is listening to "the O'Franken Factor" and finding the "no politics" rule excruciatingly difficult to obey*

[verybaddmom]

:eek: never heard of Armed Forces Day???

i am planning to spend seven hours on a stinky greyhound bus, immediately following an eight hour bartending shift (on a friday night, no less) to get to Calgary to attend a ceremony honoring our Canadian Peacekeepers. they are also opening a new wing to the Museum of the Regiments for them, so its going to be a pretty big deal.
I guess I'll be away for the weekend then....and i wont be able to post....oh.....*sniff sniff* well.....

[emily655321]

Ohh. :( You'll be missed, sister! Not that it isn't for a vastly more honorable cause. :D

[verybaddmom]

oh..i dont know about honorable....Em. i wish it were. but i mean come on, how sexy will my honey be, all uniformed and getting a medal..standing at attention while all the crowds worship him???
(i am sending my son back home on Saturday night, to stay with my sister. i am however, staying till tuesday!) ahem....

[emily655321]

LOL I didn't even notice myself slipping into my "heh heh that's nice. yes, go military" mode. (You learn to shut up about certain things when your grandfather and two uncles went to Westpoint.) :p I meant something more like, "for a higher cause." Which, I mean... I'm gonna shut up. :D

[verybaddmom]

LMAO
its all good Em. all good.

[imthefoolonthehill]

random thought: the truman show and the matrix couldn't be real because if they were, they would have monkeys watching us, pretending to be stupid... but when we turn around they whip out their lab coats with little clipboards and observe us.

[ajoe]

^ Wow, that's such a random thought.

[ajoe]

The FOB of the board as I am, would anyone kill me if I start typing like a fob?

[imthefoolonthehill]

I could try, but I doubt my fist could break through your computer screen... its a long ways away.

yeah canada, I just discovered my brothers simple plan.

[simon]

suddenly there are so many threads

[ajoe]

For some reason simon and imfoolofthehill seem very similar to me now!

[ajoe]

I have overused the exclamation marks!

[ajoe]

Hey, I just found the best fob writing ever:

[ajoe]

Apparently we are all awake in the morning!

[ajoe]

I'm having too much random thoughts this morning.

[ajoe]

I need to go to the bathroom now and create yummy brown pudding. Is that sharing too much information?

[emily655321]

"Yummy" might be going a bit too far. :p

[emily655321]

I didn't understand a word of that fob writing.

[emily655321]

Oh... I had a flush three posts ago but I didn't notice.
Now I have to wait for post No.2,345. :p

[papayahed]

How do I put a cute little picture under my name????
<~~~~~~~~

[ajoe]

^ go to "user cp", "edit options", scroll to the bottom to avatar... there's a size limit though

[amuse]

random thought: i used to like reading profiles until i realized a lot of people register so they can advertise their adult sites. :(

[simon]

Well based on that I won't read any profiles, unless there are specific interesting ones.

[kilted exile]

[Random Thought]

What is the difference between weeds & flowers?

[emily655321]

weeds are anything you didn't plant that you don't want to grow. Flowers can be weeds.

[simon]

And then there are invasive plants...

[emily655321]

You mean the ones that latch onto your arm and grow into your skin and throw roots into your marrow and live off of your organs until your insides grow into a massive tangle of vines and your skin puffs out and rips off leaving you a giant plant monster?

Yeah, those suck.

[simon]

That is exactly why I never leave the house, my appearance seems to cause many ailments such as fainting, screaming, and the parental instinct of child protection, meaning the useless arm fling, as though that would save a child from an oncoming car crash or my abrasive looks.
But I have enjoyed my planty looks, they are constantly growing and I like change.

[Random Thought]
If you listen to beethoven's 'Flight of the bumblebee' too much, you either go totally insane that you create the most amazing piece of literature, or you just go plain insane...

[emily655321]

It's my theory that "Flight of the Bumblebee" is just "the William Tell Overture" upside down.

[imthefoolonthehill]

... simon never leaves his house?

*feigns surprise*

;-)

[simon]

Well fool, only if I am overcome with the sudden urge to build a fire or make a mud pie or have a water fight or backpacking, do I ever venture outside, although all of those things can be done just as easily inside as out, except backpacking, which is done for escape so it doesn't count.

[ravana]

I wonder if someone knows what was the end of "Santa-Barbara". I spent all my childhood watching it. When L.Devis (Mayson) was changed I stop watching. But after two years that I found that there remained only Kruz and Iden who I knew.

[papayahed]

Wow, I remember that show. I stopped watching when they change Mayson too. He was the best part of the show, the only thing I still remember is him drinking while sitting in a fountain. Sorry I can't help with the ending.

[ravana]

Ooooo! You also liked him! I was fond of Mayson. I still remember his grief about Mary. Also remember how he tormented poor Julia.

[papayahed]

Was Mary an ex-nun or am I mixing up my Soaps?

[simon]

Random thought: If I was a postman I would have trouble not reading all the mail. I would dig a bomb shelter and start a collection of stolen letters, no matter that it's a federal offense. Perhaps I would then write back for the origional recipient of the letter.

[emily655321]

You should just get one of those x-ray mini-cameras that James Bond uses to take pictures of the villain's top secret plans, when he sneaks into their office. Or is that from Mission: Impossible?

[simon]

In the event of it being from Mission Impossible I'm sure it was an idea inspired by the James Bond genius. And it would certainly save me all that time digging my bomb shelter, although I still might persue that, and just read letters on the sly in my delivery van with the mini camera.

[emily655321]

Bomb shelters are always useful. Unless you get bombed.

Did you know duct tape can't be used on ducts, because it'll melt the glue?

[verybaddmom]

simon, (aka tin man) that reminds me of the opening to "the great and secret show" by Clive Barker. the dude was working in one of those sections of the post office reserved for lost mail, and his job was to go through it all and pick out the good stuff. interesting perspective he had about it too. what a weird book.

[ajoe]

Gee, this random thought thread is not as random as I thought it'd be!

[simon]

all the random thoughts keep truning into random conversations

[ajoe]

That's what I meant; posts are related to one another!

[emily655321]

LOL All my random thoughts are answers.

[ajoe]

I need to stop yelling!

[emily655321]

Hehe. Okay, I have a real random thought: I'm gonna go take a nap. I'm sleepy. Bye, kids! Have fun. :D

[ajoe]

!!!

[ajoe]

I'm currently writing a paper on the Vietnam War.
Just hoping some people would be willing to share some ideas. ;)

[ajoe]

I need a THESISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[simon]

Vietnam War: we go, we lose, baby killer or hero?

[fayefaye]

I wish I could pull of an afro. Straight hair is so boring,

[simon]

Did you ever notice that whenever you open the refirigerator door the light is always on?

[simon]

There seems to be a hornet in my room.

[ajoe]

^ I'd reply, but I have no idea what a hornet is.

[ajoe]

I have three papers due on Monday and here I am wasting my time.

[simon]

A hornet is a bee that is very thin and mean.

[ajoe]

Then maybe there is a hornet in your room.
By the way, there was a dead fly somehow trapped inside my apple today! I lost my appetite. :eek:

[simon]

How does a fly get trapped inside an apple, he was eating and became claustrophobic?

You're right, she was an ex-nun

[verybaddmom]

Random thought...
why is it when you only have four hours to sleep you spend three of that looking at the clock, thinking about how little time you have to sleep, and wondering why you cant fall asleep?

[emily655321]

I don't know, but I have to get up and go clean out cat cages in three hours. Fortunately I got my four hours' sleep this evening, so I can't sleep now but will be too groggy to do an efficient job of scrubbing dirty litter boxes.

[simon]

I got a very pleasant ten hours of sleep.

[emily655321]

Drat you to Hades, Simon. :p I've been taking Ambien since September, to go with the antidepressant, but it isn't meant to be taken long-term, so it has ceased to work. I recall the doc saying when that happens he'll prescribe Halcyon, so hopefully I'll be getting more sleep in June. :p

[simon]

My bouts of sleeplessness always end of their own accord. Are those drugs like sleeping pills?

[emily655321]

Yeah, cause I'm taking a stimulent, so I can't relax on my own at night. Uppers and downers, baby. :D Playing with fire.

[simon]

Fire. That's what I should go do, build a fire, bye bye I'm going off to burn stuff.

[emily655321]

LOL have fun.

For some reason, whenever my best friend and I are at a party together, food ends up in candles. There's just some kind of irresistable force of attraction..

[WX6[ck]]

Random thought
Is it ok to sleep 12 hours and to stay awake for 14-16 hours? 24 hours is just too little time.

[ajoe]

I think the time has come when we're all at a loss of words!

[emily655321]

CK, I have about a 30 hour sleep cycle. 20 hours awake, 10 hours asleep. That's why I keep going in circles, going to bed later and later until it comes back to the beginning.

[imthefoolonthehill]

random thought: bridges over troubled waters should have been built by better engineers.

[simon]

Of course those engineers should have compensated for mother natures disastrous mood swings such as bridge destroying floods.

[ajoe]

Why do people keep putting the phrase "random thought" before they write their actual random thoughts? We all know this is the random thought thread!

[simon]

Because it's fun to use this :

[ajoe]

I think being ghosty is a crime.

[simon]

Uh oh am I dead again?

[ajoe]

If you're a cat you have a chance to die 9 times.

[simon]

I seem to be using them up rapidly then.

[imthefoolonthehill]

but you never really have a chance to live.

[ajoe]

Seriously, why are you two sounding uncannily alike??

[simon]

I think it's time we told you something ajoe, this isn't real. We are one and the same.

[imthefoolonthehill]

you may be like me, but i'm nothing like you.

[simon]

No two beings are alike, the statistics showing that is phenomenal.

[imthefoolonthehill]

statistics is your subject. it is plural. is is singular.

[ajoe]

I just realized before my teacher gave me that C, he wrote "Good" in pencil. What does that mean??

[simon]

Was the "C" in pen?

[ajoe]

yeah?

[simon]

Well you said the "good" was in pencile so I figured that if the "C" was in pen then he was just being a smart aleck saying this is your grade that I am giving you as a teacher, but as a person I think it is good. Basically nevermind I think I just lost a few braincells, it is already showing, I can't seem to hide it anymore.

[imthefoolonthehill]

perhaps the good was next to a particular part of the paper he liked.

[ajoe]

^ Wow, that sure is encouraging.

[ajoe]

Hmm... I think I just wasted my 1000 calories on breakfast.

[simon]

I can hardly look at food yet after the horrible wake up call, the parental unit felt it was time to rearrange my sleeping schedual so that I spend more time with the family and less walking at night and sleeping in.
