Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, specifically continuing the Random Thoughts thread. Participants express their thoughts on various topics, including the emotional impact of the game Bioshock: Infinite, which one user describes as "haunting." They discuss the game's cover art, noting the absence of the female co-lead, Elizabeth, from the front cover, and reference an interview with Ken Levine that suggests this was a marketing compromise. The conversation shifts to personal anecdotes, including family dynamics and humorous observations about everyday life, such as experiences at McDonald's and the challenges of parenting toddlers. The thread features a blend of light-hearted banter, reflections on gaming, and casual storytelling, highlighting the community's camaraderie.

3 for a buck for the hass ones. Those I prefer. Smaller but more flavorful. My wife grew up with the larger ones (I guess they grew in Puerto rico) but those are usually almost a dollar each.

I wish they were cheaper. I need good fat in my diet and avocados are about the best non-meat source there is.

BTW, take two of those
about half a tomato, or one plum tomato (less gushy)
a quarter of an onion (or use a pearl onion)
1 jalepeno
a couple cloves of garlic
a whole lime

and you've the most wonderful guacamole ever. Only downside is the amount of corn chips I end up munching on with this. Yes, of course you can have it with some kind of vegetable, but... c'mon now.

Why don't you get some of the healthier chips? There are plenty different ones.

Wow.

I just realized I have, all along, assumed these were the same people.

I don't have a TV, so my knowledge of pop culture is a bit lacking :biggrin:.

What is a pop culture?

Makes me think either about Escherichia coli, or about an elegant way of exploding.

Goodness, I can't believe it either.. But I'm old already, I couldn't remember the movie.:cry:

I attended a wedding yesterday on an 84 foot yacht. After pestering the two first mates for about an hour, they obtained the captain's permission to let me tour the engine room. Twin one thousand hp diesels, gently idling, and a pair of diesel driven 75 kw electric generators.

I was in heaven.

The 4 hour cruise, and wedding, were equally awesome.

I give the experience 10 out of 10 stars.

Oh, and I got to toot the horn. 11 stars. :smile:

Lol. Just when you thought you'd seen everything...It looked, though, like those 1/6g boots he was bouncing around on were wide and flat enough not to damage the green. That's the most important part.

Paula Deen has just been fired from the Food Network due to racism. Seems she doesn't like minorities, especially blacks and Jews. I wonder if this is going to start a domino effect on all of her business deals. Of course she and her family have made millions off her deals already, it's not like she's going to suffer.

It's avocado season. 3 for 99 cents. I cut them in half, take out the pit, then spoon the delicious, nutty green stuff into my mouth, as if it were pudding. 4 or 5 dozen a day. However, I would not eat green eggs and ham.

How much are avocados where you live?
I went to the store yesterday, tiny avocados, they'll fit in the palm of your hand, were $2 each.

Why is my memory is ALWAYS deactivated when preparing/packing for travel? And what to forget, the most essential things for travel.

Sometimes forgetting things can be fortuitous.

Last year I forgot my sweat pants when I went on my annual camping/fair trip. We camp in the mountains and it gets really cold at night. I froze my behind off my first night, and picked up a pair of very expensive hippy yoga pants, which were the closest thing they had to sweats at the fair.

And although those stupid hippies who made them ruined the elastic in the waist band, requiring me to sew in an old elastic band from a worn out pair of undies, they are now my favorite weekend attire. :smile:

Haha! That's funny, how ironic when the unplanned is best for you.

I'm tired of packing, and I'm sure things will come up tomorrow. Sigh.

That's terrible. They're still three for a dollar everywhere here. Not that they're large ones. But they're not tiny.

I bought an Orange tree sapling from the farmers market at work last week.

I've had a lemon and avocado trees growing, from seeds, for at least 15 years, with no sign of even an attempt of a blossom. So I was all giddy about getting a fruit bearing tree. Then I googled the name of my Orange tree baby: Osage Orange.

Several Problems...

A. It's fruit is green. How do they get away calling it an Orange?
B. The fruit is not edible.
C. It's tropical. I'll have 3 useless trees in my living room this winter.
D. One of its alternate names is "Horse Apple". Isn't that like horse poop?

grrr... :mad:

Yeah, my original (random) comment sprung in reaction to her racist comments. Glad to see the crazy eyed confederate fried-butter eating loon has been fired.

Take it back, it's a weed tree, those people are scum. They grow everywhere here and are a mess.

I will not take it back. :mad:

That young lady has supplied me with my garden for years. She is a saint. :mad:

I also hear that the wood from the trees is incredibly strong.

...exploitation by Native American tribes for bow-making. The wood was highly prized for this purpose, and natives were known to travel hundreds of miles to acquire it.

ps. Can you find someone to cut some of those weed-trees down? I will be over with my truck in about 342 days.

Do you have any idea what to do with Ghost Peppers?

I just read the white plastic stick thingy, and it said; "Call 911 if you come in contact with one of these peppers".
