Random Thoughts Part 4 - Split Thread

And contrails seem to be a big part of the show:

http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/?s=contrails

Wonder if it is a joke site maybe?

 

[certainly]

Probably is... wouldn't have 16 million views otherwise...

 

[Borek]

pogrom

Actually it is a Polish word: http://ling.pl/pogrom

In some twisted way it connects with the idea that contrails are there to kill us all

hmmmm... Backwards, it's "morgop", and in cyrillic, the "p" is an "r", so, in another twisted way, it becomes "morgor".

Morgor --> Mordor?

The land ruled by Sauron, the necromancer.

Necromancy: ... a compound of Ancient Greek nekrós, "dead body", and manteía, "prophecy"

Prophecy of death.

hmmmm... I wonder if Tolkien knew the Cyrillic alphabet.

Hit a new level of laziness today, considered to pull an all-nighter just so I didn't have to make my bed.

Finally did it though, apparently I'm close to exhaustion.

 

[Evo]

I just can't stop laughing..........
someone was trying to quote "science" from a site that claimed :- "jet contrails are evil aerosols being sprayed on people for a nefarious eugenics pogrom -- (not "program", that's not a misspelling) -- perpetrated by shadowy global conspirators"

and they got contrails wrong, conspiracy theorists call them "chemtrails" because they contain deadly chemicals.

 

[WWGD]

Kind of strange how I have come to associate some shows with some hours of the day: Seinfeld is an evening show and it would
feel strange to watch it at, say, 8 a.m Same for Raymond.

They made Weird Al editor of this months Mad Magazine. He has (obviously) some good material in the issue.

 

[certainly]

and they got contrails wrong, conspiracy theorists call them "chemtrails" because they contain deadly chemicals.

But that's even better...chemtrails is an anagram for r alchemist. @OmCheeto there's your "r". I suppose this connection should be the final proof of the existence of the Illuminati ......but of course we should be worrying about the dark alchemist in mordor now......

Last night on River Monsters, Jeremy Wade finally found a new dangerous fish. For a long time he has been recycling the same dozen or so dangerous fishes, so this was refreshing. However, it wasn't a proper "River Monster," but a sea fish that will come a certain small way upriver if the water's salty enough. It's a borderline case.

The monster in question is the halibut. They are dangerous because they can grow really large and are incredibly strong. He tells the story of a fisherman who pulled a 200 lb halibut on board. The fish struggled and flopped around wildly, and whacked him in the leg, snapping his leg bone, which in turn cut his femoral artery. He was out alone, and bled to death before he could get back to shore.

For this reason, halibut fishermen generally try to kill the fish before bringing it onto the boat. Back in the day, Native fishermen developed special hooks that prevented any halibut over a certain size from getting it into it's mouth, thereby obviating the need to fight with a dangerously large one.

 

[Borg]

I've heard that some people like to fish just for the halibut.

Some day I will try to find out why there is no cheese in (westernized?) Chinese cuisine.

Isnt that where they make the movies? Halibut California?

People like this are wrong in the head. They need to see a brain sturgeon.

Like the people who made this meme?

Amanita muscaria
Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths resulting from its ingestion are extremely rare.It's flying both around Twitter and Facebook.

Coincidentally, I just joined a "shroom" FB page 2 days ago.
The most deadly mushroom in the world, according to the old timers, are Morels.

Newbie; "I just found these{insert photo of Morels}. Are they toxic?"
Oldster; "I'm surprised you didn't die, just by picking them. Please tell me where you found them, and I will save humanity, by removing them all".​

The theme is really bad fish puns.

That's an extreme theme for a meme. You're definitely part of the team! What's your inseam?

 

[zoobyshoe]

You're definitely part of the team!

You mean: I'm a group-er.

 

[Evo]

You mean: I'm a group-er.

LOL.

 

[zoobyshoe]

LOL.

Sorry to carp about this but "LOL" is not a fish pun. Don't be koi, try your hand at it.

hmmm...

I've been cleaning up my house for the last two months. Lots of old paperwork. Some of it goes back to the 70's.
Mostly, I've been shredding it, and heating my house with it.
But my shredder is going on the blink, so I just tear it up now.
And some of the paperwork looks like I may want to keep it, so the question becomes: Do I tear or file 'um?

How was that?

Let minnow when we're done with these fish puns.

Do you think anyone will understand my joke?
Probably not.

I was thinking of modifying my superconductivity "Chicken Cooper Pairs" joke into "Chicken of the Sea Cooper Pairs", but it didn't seem to flow right.
And every time I look at my original joke, I laugh so hard, I have to Guppy.

I just bought a new shredder and was complaining about how much they cost and someone said, why not just burn the papers? Uhm, , because I'm stupid. But with the shredder, I have an unlimited supply of confetti.

There is a basst difference between jokes and puns. Marlin Brando knows it.

I thought pretentious religious debates were frowned upon here?
Why are you allowing all this icky theological nonsense!

Walleye suppose there is. I manta point that out earlier, but my effort floundered.

 

[Borek]

and someone said, why not just burn the papers?

Because the best approach is to shred and the burn - especially when you have a thick file it won't burn easily and you have to spend a lot of time moving the paper and poking it, otherwise what is in the middle will get charred, but never turns into ashes. Shredded paper on the other hand burns easily and - as it is already mixed with the air - will burn to the end on itself.

Although the best approach is to throw shredded papers on the embers. Trust the old pyromaniac.

Thank you, I feel better now. Plus it's fun to watch the paper get shredded.

It is dangerously close to fishlosophy and, if I were a sticklebacker for the rules, I'd point out that there is no plaice for that sort of thing here. Even if we are trying to turn this into Fishics Forums.

Ripoff alert: I got charged a $2.50 ATM fee just for checking my account balance. I am thinking of starting a blog just to put it out there and (hopefully) embarrass the thieves who instituted that fee.

This is wrong and heinous. Was it one of those independent ATM's, or was it affiliated with a specific bank?

I was thinking about the themes to blockbuster movies tonight and it occurred to me that The Terminator managed to be a blockbuster movie series without a recognizable theme. I youtubed "The Terminator music" and was surprised to find I didn't even recognize it as anything I'd ever heard before, despite the fact I've seen the 1st three 4 or 5 times each.

My local bank charged me $1 for setting up my profile the first time which I think is clearly ridiculous. They didn't notice their customers that they would charge them for the settings at the time of their registration. Only after they signed and printed out everything did they ask me to pay. I didn't want to pay but thought $1 might not even be enough for me to have a bowl of Vietnamese Pho, so I bit the dirt and accepted it.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of users suddenly cried out in vain and their forum threads were suddenly closed. I fear something terrible has happened. Could it be a new forum platform in the making? And when will it be operational?

Don't worry, according to what I gathered, it was just a small gas leak...

Hmmm... nothing too terrible, probably just from the guy that made post #1293 ...

Kind of weird the extreme level of dehydration I seem to be in: every time I go into
a place that offers free water, like B&N, or some restaurants, I end up drinking easily 12-13 large cups of cold
water. And I still drink a good amount at home.

Geico scored a hit on its hit-or-miss collection of commercials with the
"cat's job is to ignore people" commercial. Kind of funny.

There is some visceral satisfaction felt while shredding paper.

I met a man named John Watson today. So I said, "Do you get a lot of jokes about that?" He didn't know what I was talking about. So,I said, "Sherlock Holmes' sidekick?" He goes, "Oh, that, yeah. 'Elementary my dear Watson.' Yeah, people say that sometimes. Mostly, though, people tell me I look like the guy on 'House'." So, I took a good look at him and saw some very slight resemblance to Hugh Laurie, but it was like second cousin type resemblance. It would have made more sense if he looked like Wilson.
