The conversation shifts to personal experiences, including frustrations with the medical system following a wisdom tooth extraction, highlighting issues with prescription management and insurance complications. Members express their opinions on dental practices, particularly the necessity of wisdom tooth removal, with some viewing it as a financial racket unless there are complications. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of humor, personal stories, and commentary on broader societal issues, maintaining a casual and engaging tone throughout.

"If anything, this new sequel breaks new ground in treading water, wasting time and general narrative inertia. It’s an almost Herculean feat of nothingness.”

They made a movie of my life?

But still, ...

Hmm. Regardless, I like Ming (and Chopin).

[Edit: as a matter of fact, I call the Pazuzu resemblance a positive bonus! :biggrin: :thumbs:]

[Another edit: Hee hee! Seriously though, Ming (and Chopin) is (are) adorable. Pairing up these images makes me laugh.]

[Yet another edit: I just realized that this last, puppy image wasn't Ming but Chopin. They both look possessed! :biggrin: (or is one possessing the other?)]

I would also recommend wearing the 45 SPF factor sunscreen if you're planning on walking on the sun, instead of the usual 15 SPF we use here on Earth, seeing as that you're closer. And if it fits your schedule, go in April, when smashmouth holds their annual shindig.

Just received an e-mail of someone wishing that I "have a great fall". I hope the sender just forgot to capitalize, tho if I do happen to fall, I will make the best of it. Just in case, I replied wishing her a hip replacement; guess some replacements can be seriously hip.

About a year ago I was sitting on a wall and actually did fall off. It was not a "great" fall in any sense, and I was back together again within two weeks with no help needed. But I wondered about the strange glitch in balance that caused the fall and whether or not it was the same as Humpty's. History, you may recall, does not record the cause of his accident. Anyway, I did hurt my hip a little, but mostly I scraped an elbow.

Maybe you fell asleep, like this guy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-28844764

Is this a new explanation for "having dreams about falling"?

DiracPool, I like the Smash Mouth song, it's been a long time since I heard it, so thanks for posting it!

Good idea! I did not think about that, people are so stupid. Why do they never think of that? But I still think it's better to go at Winter, it feels more logical to do so.
Let's see how to prepare for a sun walk:
1. Make sure you visit the Sun in the Winter, and at night.
2. Apply a proper sunscreen.
3. Make sure you wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
4. Construct and wear a full body foil suit:

But the biggest problem, as I see it, would be how to locate the Sun at night. I must know where I'm going. At night it is very dark, and I won't see a thing! Hmm... I'm wondering... would flashlights and binoculars be of any help here? Maybe flashlights are too weak? I know there are very powerful spotlights, though, which might do the job.

EDIT: I just had another wonderful idea! And I have never heard anyone suggesting it before! Imagine building a spacecraft for landing on the Sun - a spacecraft made of ice! An icecraft :!)! Of course, we all know ice can melt if it's hot, but if you make the icecraft big enough, maybe this will work?

Science to the rescue! Sun is hot, so to find it during night you can use one of these fancy infrared goggles.

Hmm, no, I didn't fall asleep and wake up the Thames that I'm aware of. I landed in a parking lot. There were no Royal National Lifeboats needed, either. I just got back up.

If it happened during work hours, I can give you a link I just saw for "small business lawyers"--all lawyers below 5'2'' .

You're saying "large business lawyers" can only handle it if it was not during work hours?

I was wondering again today when and how bacon got rehabilitated. Not so long ago bacon was considered evil, the very icon of high cholesterol, heart clogging meat. Now the only important thing about bacon is that it tastes really, really good.

Personally, I find that bacon goes best together with other food. Such as in burgers or in salads.
Bacon on itself is overrated in my opinion, it's a boring dish all by itself.

Indeed, bacon is a bit of a boar. :wink:

You eat burgers? You're a cow.

I locked my key in my workshop which I have never done before. I went in the house and was rummaging through the desk looking for the spare key. My 13 year old grandson noticed my predicament and told me he would go get my key from the workshop.

He was back in about 30 seconds with the key. When I asked him how he did that he waved his plastic junior high I.D. card at me and said: "now you know why I never ask for the workshop key anymore.":redface:

You can bet I will fix that. :eek:

Reminds me of the incident when I locked my keys inside the lab around 2 am and I was still in the middle of the experiment, the lab keys, the car keys, my place's key.. So embarrassing.
