What you did today

Recommended Posts

Another reason to just not make jokes. Also, it's raining all day today so say the forecast - this is good as there will be less trick or treaters out, hopefully. Or at the very least, they'll be miserable.

 

Malc I'll tell you something interesting, do you know you can make many jokes in life that aren't about the abuse of women?

In South Africa there is a  "joke" that has been around for ages

 

"What do you tell a women with 2 black eyes"

"Nothing she has already been told twice"

 

If I hear that joke from people I make a point of saying that type of humour is unacceptable and not funny.

 

It may sound embarrassing in a public gathering, like a barbeque, to put a damper on a "humorous" vibe but that's the decision myself and others have made about certain topics that people still joke about

Also, I took a long walk with my friend because it's wise to make use of what light there is in winter when you are at risk from SAD. Made my own dinner" (actually that was yesterday)insert funny or self-depreciating comment in order to get people to like me better "I might shake up this post by deconstructing it, it will be so meta!" or "My life is so interesting, lol"return to voicing opinions in treads to help alienate others.

Well we all tend to disagree on certain topics but it doesn't mean we don't respect or like each other  on this forum :)

Well, it was a facetious comment on the idea that someone will always get offended it seems. But how nice to know you have a good social conscience.

To you maybe, but I'd rather not take something and make it "untouchable" in that way. It'll just give the opposition more fuel for their fires.

And deprive the rest of us some good laughs! ;)

 

A classic for you;

 

You know what the difference is between a black guy and a basketball?

You're not allowed to kick the basketball.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

The one about Jews and pizzas has to be one of the worst ones I've heard.

This early morning (and yesterday morning) is proving once again that I feel the cold more as I get older. Or whatever. Mostly when I first wake up. Crank that heater!

 

Also...is there an acceptable age in the US where a woman can stop shaving her legs all the time? Guys can just grow socially acceptable rock star beards if they don't feel like shaving...not fair. :lol:

I don't know how age affects things, but based to the various women with whom I've been close enough to have knowledge of their shaving practices, the acceptable time for not shaving (or, well, shaving only for special occassions) is known as "winter." 

 

I can see how that might not work so well in California.

I am Cornholio! Bring me TP for my bunghole!

 

He's a bot and his code is showing.

My code is being updated soon.

Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.

Also, I should add that some of us have facial hair growth patterns that look faintly ridiculous when not supressed.  I'm a month into my present beard, and "rock star" isn't exactly a term I would use to describe it.

Mine was described as "when you're older you can be santa claus".

Mine is often described as " are you a pedophile?"

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

What I did today is 160kg dead lifts 5 reps 3 stints and I almost passed out each time I lifted the barbell. I'll probably never figure out how other lifters can lift weights far beyond 180kgs so easily, thats just totally insane. :blink:

Lifting beyond 150 feels like standing up while having an intense seizure that almost makes you crap out your guts.  I wonder how lifting 200kg+ feels like.

I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Someone tried to access my steam account so I had to change my password for the first time in five years.

 

Took a trip to the city and had lunch with the family for a change. Had a really tasty pizza. It's the only thing I have eaten today. Need to change my eating habits, but it'll never happen.

 

Also ordered a few games and a memory card for a PlayStation Vita.

Took an exam. Going to unwind by watching a movie.

Working on the house this weekend. I'm going to start clearing some trees to make a pasture. I'm going to try cutting my own fence posts from the felled trees. I've never done anything like that before. Should be interesting. It would definitely be efficient. Whatever is left over I'll split for firewood. I try not to waste if I can help it.

All this Halloween stuff has been a bit exhausting, but my kids look good.  Thankfully my school district was smart enough to schedule a staff workday tomorrow instead of a regular school day, so that should be pretty relaxing.  Sitting in meetings is a cake walk.  :p

Always remember to change your passwords every now and then. Alas the rain stopped, so will be more kids out, feh
