Saw something very strange today. Stopped at a red light driving into town. Crossing the road was a scruffy looking old man wearing a big leather falconry gauntlet on one hand, with a HUGE owl sitting on it. I don't know what species of owl - its head was the same shape as a barn owl but it was two or three times bigger, and all white (not brown and white like a barn owl).

The guy also had a scruffy looking white Scotty dog trotting along behind him, on the end of what looked more like a piece of string than a lead.

Nope, I haven't been taking any "substances" recently...

Beards are scary.

It's not that I'm against beards so much, I just love a clean-shaved face.

Clean shaved faces are not scary.

Do men realize that they look about 10-20 years older with a beard? I don't mind a couple of days growth, scruffy is fine, it's even sexy if it's groomed scruffy, beard longer than your chin...Uh.

And I admit, 1 out of 50 million men can carry off a short, well trimmed beard.

And yes, I did look at 50 million pictures of men with beards. Right this moment I am watching a show with 5 men, 4 have beards, and no, it is not "Duck Dynasty".

.. Why didn't you talk to him?

I need my laptop, NOW.

Lol Evo.

So we're talking about beards in here?

I wish I had a superior beard.Never had the balls to let it grow for an entire year though.As I'm losing my hair I feel the need to compensate with some facial hair of some sort

Toothpaste does weird things to my tongue these days. It didn't used to, this started about 5 years ago. After I brush, my tongue feels kind of...numb. For a long time, too - like a couple hours!

 

[lisab]

ah crud now i have hiccups

Maybe as a reaction to some compound in the toothpaste.. You might need to see the doctor and do some tests, lisab. I hope it's nothing serious.

My brother's method to get rid of hiccups:
- tells you to hold your breath as long as you can
- stares at you quitely while holding your breath
- screams suddenly and freaks the hell out of you

He then laughs hard at the reaction eventhough he's under a rain of kicks and punches. Surprisingly, the hiccups are gone.

I've never heard of anyone taming an owl like that. But I suppose you could tame any bird if you raised it from the time it was hatched.

After finally defeating Voldemort, Harry Potter now spends his life wandering without a purpose...

Potter is married with three children. The owl died.
What he saw probably was Hagrid.

 

[Borg]

The owl died.

So did Harry Potter. Clearly, the owl is alive again since AlephZero saw it.

My wife does not like to "re-watch" anything. Movies, TV shows, etc. (With very rare exceptions).

This made it harder for me to explain this morning that, "Sweety, I *have* seen every episode of Star Trek TNG... but not IN ORDER."

Conversations made possible with a netflix account...

I expect to see the driver of a tan Ford Focus in the news someday soon in the DC area. Today, while in heavy traffic in the rain, he was weaving in and out of traffic and tailgating at speeds of up to 60 in a 45 zone. Pretty normal for this area but what was really disturbing was the rapid and constant up and down movement of his head as he was texting on his phone the entire time.

 

[AlephZero]

.. Why didn't you talk to him?

Not too easy, when stopped at a red light in the middle lane of a 3-lane road, with nowhere to park the car legally within a few hundred yards.

I've never heard of anyone taming an owl like that. But I suppose you could tame any bird if you raised it from the time it was hatched.

Plenty of videos on youtube - google "falconry owls".

... Do men realize that they look about 10-20 years older with a beard? ...

I think that's actually part of the motivation behind some men growing beards; they wish to look more manly, or older. This is probably more popular with males in their upper teens/lower twenties.

I don't know what to make for dinner tonight, I have plenty of food, but nothing appeals to me. I guess I could make cheeseburger hamburger helper, the thing is it makes a lot and if you don't eat it all right away, the noodles turn to mush and are rather disgusting as leftovers. (I can't get that stupid jingle out of my head now - "hamburger helper helped her hamburger help her make a great meal")

 

[drizzle]

A friend called and invited me out for dinner, I just don't feel like going anywhere. Not sure what to say. :/

 

[drizzle]

She called again and I apologized. How selfish of me, she just wanted to see me after being away for a while.

That reminds me of my "astronauts from Kansas" comment the other day.

I discovered that the voice behind the Jolly Green Giant was from Kansas.

I had "Ho ho ho... Greeeeeeen Giant!" stuck in my head for at least 5 minutes.

 

[Evo]

I'm sure she understands that you are re-adjusting to the time change from your trip.

I totally recognize the plight of an introvert...sigh.

I do find, as I'm sure you do, at the end of an evening of socializing I am happy that I did it. I'm exhausted, but happy. (And quite ready for some down time.)

 

[drizzle]

Great! Now I created two huge black eyes out of practicing how to put an eyeliner. I am not going to wash it off cause I am lazy to do so.

I know what you mean lisab, as much as I like to be alone, as much as I like to go out and meet up with people.
