Rosbjerg Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Old Thread Here. Returned from an 11 day trip to Poland, which was awesome- I was there in 1990 and 1999 as well - and things are definitely looking up for the country (at least the people look a lot happier) 1 Fortune favors the bald.
Azdeus Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Welcome back! Got my new kitten today, wich is a bit of a problem, because I want to play with him while I really need to eat and then go to sleep. 2 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
melkathi Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 So I am turning 37 this summer. Naturally I have had my fair share of rejections. And have rejected in turn. And probably I too could have been better at it. But "You can file an application" is probably the most ridiculous line I have heard. 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Gfted1 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 You heard this from a dating prospect? 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
melkathi Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Yeah. Tempted to actually fill out a proper application and get it stamped and filed at the police station, just to see her face. But I know it's more effort than she is worth. 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
melkathi Posted July 15, 2016 Posted July 15, 2016 Update: Made a proper application, though the police refused to put an official stamp on it. Could have tried to find some other official, but meh - just went and downloaded an image of the stamp from the interwebz and faked it. Send it. Now I feel a bit like an idiot. But it was slightly cathartic 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Calax Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 My location is being shut down again... To explain that. A week and a half ago, I was told to back out of my lease and other things because the location was being shut down due to not making money (before I arrived... since I arrived it's making money, yay!) Fastforeward to monday, we're told we're not shutting down yet. So business as usual... until the paperwork that had been filed last week kicks in and we're listed as "Permanently Closed" as of tuesday. So we file MORE paperwork to get it reopened... to be told we were spared a total of one week. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
teknoman2 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 i was removing some weeds from my garden earlier and i found a stray cat with her 4 newborn kittens hidden in the grass. the cat ran off as soon as i got close leaving the kittens behind. so i took them and put them in a box under the table. then i watched from a distance as the cat was coming and taking them one by one back in the bushes away from where i was weeding. 4 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past? Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born! We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

Guard Dog Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 One of the rabbits died today. It was around 4 years old. Not bad for a rabbit. Especially since i bought them for cooking.

melkathi Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Sorry to hear it. One of my neighbours has decided to bring his pet bunny to the bar every day now. I feel sorry for the animal.

Guard Dog Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 My wife got attached to them so they never "fulfilled their destiny" so to speak. I built them a pen and a house but to tell the truth I never really "bonded" with them. I always thought of them more as livestock.

Bartimaeus Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Speaking of coups... Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Calax Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 They should add IQ tests to these questioners. Or just include a "We don't have to serve you if you're drunk/high/horny" note in everything (probably more of a situation on my end given I get drunken people off a flight who ordered the cheapest car... when they're 7'3... and get pissed when it's a Spark).

Hurlshort Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Just booked a short little trip down to Vegas for me and the wife. Look, family vacations are great. We did some amazing stuff and I loved it. But we also shared a confined space for 3 weeks, stepped on each other, snapped at each other, and had a good share of melt downs. The wife and I need a little space to decompress from that. There is no romance on family RV trips.

That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
