From what I know of him, I would imagine Danger really does like the "slippery ones" as well. :biggrin:

Evo (and anyone else herp-minded), if you haven't already seen the sites blackjungle.com and mascarino.com, take a look at them. Some really great shots of frogs you can buy as captive bred stock. Also a nice list of other cold-blooded links on blackjungle. Enjoy. :smile:

Maybe I should be living in a 'B' movie. It appears that an 'Eel Woman' would be my ideal mate. :-p

Another e-child, like DangSOS?! No, no, no, no -- I don't care if the gestation period is short and birth is easy, or even if males give birth to e-children, it just can't be allowed! :smile:

I wish I had that problem. I didn't manage to cure my nocturnality over the weekend, I made it worse! Thank heavens I'm an academic and can get away with starting my work day at sunset. People start thinking I'm a vampire when I keep schedules like this (at least I'm no longer going out on a farm collecting blood samples all night...that really didn't help my reputation). I already have very pale skin, and then when I don't come out in daylight, plus I have two pointy incisors instead of normal flat ones (not the front teeth, but the ones next to them...another treat of genetics...a few of my cousins have the same, so I know which side of the family it comes from). I try to tell people it means I'm more carnivorous than most, but they seem to prefer the vampire story. :rolleyes:

Hmmm...maybe DangOS has a better ring to it. Though, it might be too commonly used...hear it all the time from those Windows users. (Let it sink in slowly, I borrowed one of Danger's slow fuses).

I work with sheep, brain dead sheep. :rolleyes: No, these people are an insult to sheep.

I'm on a web conference and we all got an e-mail telling us there were two ways to register. It said to either register as a guest or register as a member if you had an ID.

Ok, on the registration web page on the left side it says "register as a guest" and on the right side of the page it says "register as a member". (we don't have ID's to this particular site)

Want to take a guess how many people entered their name as "guest"? Out of 118 participants only 6 of us have names, all the other participants are named "guest". Well, the e-mail did say "register as a guest". :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :bugeye:

Sheep only look dumb, it's all part of their master plan to take over the world.

Hmm...if they had an ID, would they have registered the name "Member?" :smile: That's sad. You'd think in your line of work, people would be a bit more tech saavy. I'd expect something like that from a group of secretaries whose job it is to follow directions literally, but not from people who are actually involved in IT. :rolleyes:

Well, do they have the sense at least to bow down to the superior status of those who have names? :biggrin:

Yes, yes they would. The e-mail said "if you have an ID, register as a member".

That's sad.
It's scary, and they wonder why I don't associate with them outside of the office. :rolleyes:

Just think about all the people on LSD right now.
 
  • #4,517
Okay, I spent an hour thinking about people on LSD. Then they all turned to me and said, "Dude, quit crashin' our party, man." I thought it would be best to leave then, but I enjoyed the fresh sushi and wasabe while I was there. Man, that stuff is spicy!

OMG! Thanks a lot yomamma. Now I'm starving.

The only problem I have with sushi is that it is so damn expensive and not very filling. I feel like I'm eating my wallet, and even wasabe can't cleanse that from my palate.

That picture is like a dream.

Make that for two! Yummmyyyyy! Yomamma, you should give it a try. But if you do, go to a place with a good reputation. If you don't like it, don't have it again, but it never hurts to try new things. You can also get something like a California roll that has cooked crabmeat in it along with cucumber and avocado...it's a good place for those not brave enough to try raw fish to start and just see if the general idea is something palatable to you.

My favorite is sashimi. If I go out for sushi, I do a whole meal. Some miso soup, then sushi and maybe a salad of some sort, a little tempura on the side, and then a nice cold saki with dessert. :approve:

And I haven't even eaten dinner yet.
 
  • #4,526
I don't like crab meat. Just about any kind of fish is great. I don't mind octopus, but it is a little chewy. But for some reason I never met a crustacean that I liked to eat.

I don't know the names of all of those sushi things. I just point and grunt and they put it on a plate for me. My elbows dance all over the table and and I can't sit still for a minute. I always chew with my mouth closed though. I guess that's something.

Time to eat for me. Burgers, which is what I usually get to fill up the corners after every time I've had sushi.

Mmm...I like crustaceans! I just avoid oysters, those don't count. And I don't seem to need any added aphrodesiacs...I'm convinced the only reason they got that reputation is because if you'll put one of those in your mouth, you'll put anything in your mouth!

I usually have to find the translated menu, and I slowly learn what I like in Japanese. Very little on the menu I won't eat, so no big deal if I order the wrong thing. Oh, yeah, the octopus is usually too chewy for me too. Tastes good, but hard to eat.

My elbows dance all over the table and and I can't sit still for a minute. I always chew with my mouth closed though. I guess that's something.

:smile: Something tells me I just have to see this in person!

Agh! Burgers after sushi?! That ruins it! I actually can fill up pretty well on sushi. If not, then ice cream for dessert does the job.

yomamma said:

Like Moonbear said, there are a lot of maki rolls and nigiri (the small rice mound topped with whatever) that aren't raw fish. Cucumber, asparagus, egg, gourd aresome vegetarian options and several cooked fish/shellfish types like surf clam, shrimp and barbequed eel (my favorite). There is a local place that really gets crazy and does rolls with raspberry, jalapenos and cream cheese amoung others, excellent stuff. The best I had was out in San Francisco, I ordered ama ebi, sweet shrimp, and they brought out the expected nigiri which was great, then as we were working through some other sushi the waitress brings out the rest of the shrimp. The heads, complete with antennae, eyes and all were lightly battered and deep fried until very crisp. :bugeye: They were awesome, like shrimpx10, mmmm...tasty. :-p

I don't remember trying oysters but I tried clams before. As far as things with shells go they weren't that bad. The ones I had had :confused: some gritty bits in them that I didn't appreciate very much.

Did you know that the world record eating champion is a Japanese guy that weighs like 150 pounds? All that elbow dancing and butt fidgeting burns a lot of calories. I could probably eat that guy after he finished winning his title.

Nervous Taxi Driver

A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from a large plate glass window.

For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still
shaking driver said, "I'm sorry but you scared the daylights out of me."

The frightened passenger, apologized to the driver, and said he didn't
realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much.

The driver replied, "No, no, I'm sorry, it's entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab... I've been driving a hearse for the last 25 years."

My favorite sleep remedy is to heat up some milk just to the point where it is about to boil. Then I sip on that in a quiet room for a few minutes. I usually add a little bit of sugar, which seems to defeat the purpose, but it works for me. But why would you want to sleep anyway?
Moonbear said:

Not the way I elbow dance. There are times where I'll be swinging from the table by my elbows like a pendulum and screaming "Look at me! Look what I can do."

Mmmmmm... Hot milk and honey, yum yum yum, what a good idea. I have to go to sleep so I can have lots of weird dreams and post them in the sweet dreams thread and have them analysed. And so I don't go crazy from sleep deprivation, I'm already teetering precariously on the edge of sanity...

Darn, I know that feeling! Same thing happened last night (er...this morning?). I was just getting drowsy and lying my head on the pillow, and realized the birds were chirping away and the first sliver of light was showing through the window. If you'd please hold up the sunrise on your end, it would really help me out over here too!

Tonight I'm back to giving melatonin another chance. Increased the dose from 3 to 4.5 mg and I'm starting to yawn already...there might be some hope!

In that case, the best way to get good memorable dreams is to get plenty of sleep. Stay in bed for another hour after you have had enough sleep. That's the best time for dreams. Afternoon naps are pretty good too. Any time were your almost conscious, but not quite.

I know when the sun comes up it might as well hit me with a hammer. My eyes get all squinty and I can't keep them open. Then it's all over for me. If I'm tired the sun always puts me in my coffin, I mean bed.

The sun never listens to me. It's so disobedient, it thinks it rules the world. One day I'll teach it a lesson. My cat's on the window sill making funny noises at the birds. Is it possible that she's trying to copy them? That's just what it sounds like. Is my cat trying to sing like a bird? Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes
