Is it time for Random Thoughts - Part 4?

What's up?

What's up?

something. And I don't know what that something is either. But I'm sure it is up. We need to know it.

Public Seating Rule #1: pick the remaining seat which is farthest from all presently seated.

All reasonable people know this at birth.

I always get conflicted whenever I'm sitting in the bus in the middle of two people when one person suddenly leaves. If I scoot over, the person beside me will think I'm somehow repulsed by them and if I don't it will be very awkward sitting next to them when there's a free seat besides me. This gets especially bad if the person is overweight.

What do you guys do?

I scoot over. I don't believe the other person will think you are repulsed by them. They most likely would do the same thing. Like zooby said, it's natural. It's a bit more weird if you didn't move. I would want you to scoot over...unless you're really hot, or I'm cold, or scared and lonely...

You could always perform a trial of experiments. Try moving away, moving closer, staying in the same spot, sitting on their lap, etc. Record the results.

Reminds me of a good friend I had who was Czech. When she first moved here, she would meet new people with "How do you do?". She thought the amused looks were because she was saying it wrong, so she slowed it down and eee-nun-cee-ate-ed ev-err-ee sill-ah-bil to the best of her abilities.

(Btw no one ever says "How do you do" since...oh maybe 1970.)

Hihi. That's rich. She is a royal lady! ヽ(^。^)丿

What's up?

Up, I believe is the direction normal to the ground and away from it.
It also happens to be the name of an animated movie directed by Pete Docter.

Some of the posts I run across at PF are so funny, it makes me cry.

I tinkered with voodoo once. All the people I cursed are still alive. Perhaps I should not have used a frozen chicken. On the other hand, perhaps voodoo does not work as advertised . . . That is an appealing alternative explanation. If anyone cares to prove me wrong . . . put a curse on me now. If I don't post by next friday . . . I concede.

I want a bunny so badly right now. If I could have it I would give it lots and lots of love... and food. (Ɔ ˘⌣˘)♥／(･ × ･)＼

Just realized that Nate Ford might have been a wordplay on Nate River...

I would rather eat the bunny.

My male friend thought it would be cool to try a ponytail until three people coming from behind him asked : "excuse me ma'am", while trying to walk through. Ponytail is gone.

Steven Seagal has sported a ponytail for years. That alone is ironclad proof men should not have ponytails.

They have the tool, they advertised, but have no customers. How to find a customer ? A business without its customers is a dead one. Until they could find a customer, they should have been imprisoned because of unpaid bank loans.

I was told again today on the bus " you look familiar" . I just replied " I _am_ familiar"; what
other reply should one give?

That's a good one.

The end of the world, as I know it, may happen tomorrow. I think I'm going to do some beer drinking to smooth any pain.

I wish we could all gather at our PF local to share pain and soothe anxiety .

I get that a lot (I guess I have common looks ). I go through a Cliff's Notes version of my life history: I say, "Well, where might our paths have crossed? Did you ever live near Tahoe, or the bay area, or Alaska, or Oregon? Did you go to the University of Washington? Do you work in science or natural resources?" Mostly I get a string of no's. So then I shrug and say, "I don't know."

Unless they look familiar to me, too. Then we just look at each other and squint. I wonder if I've crossed paths with a sibling and it ended this way.

Today I tried to record the old chat noises of when somebody posts, enters chat and leaves chat, just in case I might write a browser plug-in for future chat. Unfortunately the particular [STRIKE]video[/STRIKE] sound card I have doesn't seem to support setting up the main buffer as a recording device, so I didn't succeed.

[Edit: In other words, I was unsuccessful at recording my computer's system sound, due to the particular sound card/drivers my computer has installed. The chat sounds are now only a memory.]

I have the sounds!

Awesome! There's hope then!

 

[Evo]

Yes. we will get together on this. Take screen shots!

 

[lisab]

Yes we will! Everyone be patient. There may be rough spots but we will get through!

 

[Evo]

Yes. We're a Family. We all pull together. Funny some people will prefer the new shoutbox. Those of us that loved the Jetson's chat will piece together our memories.

I see, so let me see if I got your idea. Someone tells me : " you look familiar", and I reply, loud -enough so that everyone around can hear me:

Yes, I think I was at your parole hearing. I can't believe they actually granted you parole .
BTW, I just saw your parole officer outside, and he was pissed. Maybe you should run back home and put that ankle bracelet back on.

Or,

Yes, I was the doctor in that Gonorrhea clinic. No one had ever seen anything that monstruous since Chernobyl. I remember I lost my lunch when I first saw it. I am surprised you're not being quarantined.

Is that it :) ?

So good to have a place to come "home" to again. Last night was rough without PF!

 

[Enigman]

This is like switching from xp to 8...

<-And my avataar looks horrible

 

[Medicol]

I have the cutest avatar.
BTW, many links to yesterday's threads have not been fixed.

I need to find an animated gif under 50K.

 

[TumblingDice]

Any GIF - maybe this?

 

[Borg]

The avatars allow animated gifs now. It was previously off but there were a few grandfathered, animated avatars. Hopefully that doesn't get turned off.

I've seen one member with an animated avatar during that past few months. IF GIFs have been off, maybe it was animated PNG? Cannot recall who - only remember I found it distracting (annoying) while I was reading the post. Just my $.02.

 

[TumblingDice]

Did the sisterhood have had a late gals night out? Hope y'all are doing well and pleased as punch to be the first to welcome Evo, Lisab, and the entire SH to PF 4. This looks like it's gonna' be fun! (How much good stuff can you handle at one time?)

Hard to say. I can't remember the member's name but I remember that he had a really old account from the 2003 era - it was a picture of a moving eyeball of some kind..

I didn't realize that there was an animated png format since 2008. Thanks. :)

There is a bird in my neighborhood that sounds like a two-toned doggy squeeze toy. Lisab, are you in my neighborhood squeezing a bird named TunblingDice?

**hugs lisab**

SQUEEEEEEEEEK...squeek-squeek-squeek-squeek-squeek

That's what it sounds like. :)

Quack-quack!

(I should be so lucky.)

 

[OmCheeto]

I was that lucky once. She and I went camping one weekend, and even though I told her I had the bubonic plague, she hugged me anyways.

Fortunately for both of us, it turned out to be a notabubonicplaguebug.

:D

 

[DataGG]

Not sure I like my current avatar... Do you guys like my current avatar or do you think this one is better? I'm torn between the two!

 

[Evo]

I like it data!

Why isn't my avataar moving?

When I check 'Properties' under IE 11, your avatar indicates it's a JPG. Did you upload it as a GIF - did it get 'auto-converted'...?

Seems like it.

 

[Psinter]

Ugh, I feel terrible. My body and joints hurt, I have fever, and posess no energy whatsoever. Even tears are coming out without my permission (eyes too inflamated). It seems a mosquito bit me and did something to my body. You cursed mosquito, what did you do to my body!

Usually, 10 years ago, by this time of the year it got a little more cold and mosquitoes population reduced, but something's definitely wrong, it's still too hot and mosquito population is not reducing at all. I don't like this one bit.
