    Random Thoughts
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.

I may, or may not, take that as a compliment...

I'll read the book again, and let you know.

It's been at least 40 years since I've read it, and have not a clue what it's all about.

Though, I have an inkling of what "Catch-22" means.

I meant more so that you two shared a similar sense of humor, at least in my eyes :smile:

I'm about 100 pages in, and have determined thus far that it's a book with an odd writing-style, filled with a bunch of slightly humorous anecdotes. If it weren't for the such raving reviews, I'm not sure I would continue to read it, but I'm hoping it improves.

I got 50 pages into a book last fall, and decided that the author and I had the exact same sense of humor. I had to put it down. Freakin' Canuck...

I just realized the term 'natural children' is kind of funny :biggrin:.

It didn't occur to me that there would be a thread on it. It was just a random thought to me. :smile:

Tomorrow I am taking a second round test on optics. My professor said I did fairly good on the previous one but still needed to confirm my real general knowledge on the second round, I guess it is mainly about how I can manage hard stuff.
-Good luck inotyce!
-Thanks I badly need it.

But it does feel like September outside. The cobwebs are flying and it's too dang cold.

I can't believe it's the dog days of summer and it's too cold for my eggplant to set. Temps in the 50's tonight. I'm not complaining though.

Last weekend I was at the swap meet looking over this guy's stuff for sale and had to listen to him telling some other guy how he was going through some kind of homeopathic procedure to remove the unnatural mineral deposits from his body. Today at a coffee shop I had to listen to some girl saying how she was going to volunteer her services at doing 'energy chelation therapy' on people.

Austin, Texas

This is a great free place for kids to play. Right next to the fountain is a pond, filled with turtles, perch and minnows. I always bring extra bread to share with anyone wanting to feed the aquatic life:

Running is water is great, but sometimes I prefer to swim in it. The depth is ~13 feet or ~4 meters:

Over the summer, the Austin Symphony plays free concepts on the auditorium's lawn:

Blues on the Green is another popular one:

There is also free theater:

I have my butler read to me all forum posts. He gives you a British accent.

Austin has always intrigued me. It struck me as a beacon of light, in a very dark (black gold, Texas tea) kinda place.

Saw something today about the L.A. river.

I suppose only in California, would they pave a river...

Though as I recall, certain sections of the Mississippi are also cement lined.
