Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

[zoobyshoe]

Today was the first day after Leap Day.

Current temperature at the South Pole: -52 °F

Current temperature in Hell: no specific data, but not yet frozen over.

Agricultural news: no observable wings on any pigs.

From around the nation: Betty's Diner in the town of Pig, Ohio has started selling chicken wings wrapped in bacon under the name "Pig Wings." The town council voted 3 to 1 to erect a sign at the town limits saying "Pig Have Wings!" In retaliation the next door town of Base, Ohio has voted to erect a sign saying, "All your base are belong to us!" To the south of both, the town of Bacon, West Virginia erected a sign saying, "Bacon, West Virginia." And the temperature there is currently +52 °F.

Do you want to see something REALLY scary?

I watched this early today. It looks totally normal to me and I would find those getting scared it are really "abnormal" to me.

That's probably because you've been desensitized from watching all those Walking Dead episodes on Netflix. If you watched this in the theater in the 1980's when it first came out, it would have scared the S*&# out of you!

OK You and I didn't work in sync then .

An observation:

When you like someone, it is as if when that person talks to you face to face, you are not listening. Then when the person finishes talking you are like: "This is so awkward. I didn't process anything."

I really hope I'm not the only one that this happens to.

EDIT: I heard some people call it daydreaming.

I find it more funny than scary :) If you didn't say it was a proper horror I would have thought it's a parody.

That happens sometimes if I'm staring at her cleavage.

Then when the person finishes talking you are like:

"I'm sorry, can you repeat that?"

I had to google that. This is what I found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleavage_(crystal)

I did not know you looked at peoples: "split along definite crystallographic structural planes"

Cleavage: " the hollow between a woman's breasts when supported, especially as exposed by a low-cut garment."

Those men!

Well, the bit is obviously a little tongue in cheek, but when that first came out, people were jumping out of their seats. So it was scary. There weren't all these special effects in every movie back then that we have these days. Back then we had Kramer vs. Kramer and Three days of the Condor. No special effects there, cupcake.

Now, if you want a parody, here's a great one. Referring to the "visualizing PF members" thread, if you want a characterization of me, it's either of these two guys. In fact, I'm surprised I'm not sitting in the back seat of this smart car during the skit poking my head up front

I was with my headphones when I watched the previous video and I jumped out of my chair.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco still dead.

A fact we know due to the meritorious efforts of the Generalissimo Francisco Franco Death Monitor Task Force. Our hats are off to them for their continued vigilance in this matter.

It looks like Jeremy Wade has run out of river monsters to pursue. He's headed to the ocean. However, instead of changing the show's name to Ocean Monsters, which they should, they've arrived at the confused: River Monsters, Mysteries of the Ocean.

True, just go to a bookstore *. They even have a Pastry Bible:

I volunteer to serve as a prophet. Instead of Numbers, Lamentations, etc. you have : Raisin Bread 15:300 ( cook for 15 minutes at 300 degrees)

* Walmart is not a bookstore, but you get my point.

You see, they had a choice of, "Pigs Have Wings!," or "Pig Has Wings!" Pig, the Ohio town, is singular, so it didn't make sense to use the former, but the latter sounds like a mispoken version of the former, despite agreement of singular noun and verb. So, like any bureaucracy, they compromised on something that made no sense at all: "Pig Have Wings!," because bureaucracies value compromise over sense.

Anyway, the other day, Jesse Bilacker was eating at Betty's and he said to Lee Ann Brickman, the waitress, "How 'bout that Trump? You think he'll win?" And Lee Ann said, "Right. When pigs have wings." And Jesse went silent and fell into deep thought, because, under the circumstances, it wasn't clear what she meant.

I've been meaning to teach myself python one of these days. Today, I googled "learn python in 5 minutes" and got back a YouTube video with the same name that was over 7 1/2 minutes long. I'm not sure about learning from someone who can't tell time.

I would slap his face with my right glove and challenge him to a duel, this clearly an intolerable insult to a young lady.

You learn in five minutes. The other 2.5 minutes are advertising and self-congratulation. (That''s my guess, anyway)

I needed a one penny washer to finish a job, i searched the house an garage for one but no luck, in the end i drilled a hole in a one penny piece and it did the job admirably.

Probably that's illegal, I know it is over here.

Fun-fact, at some moment in time you could earn more by melting down certain coins.
It is illegal to destroy currency though.
