Hm, I think this metaphor makes me the annoying Temperance Movement rep in the corner.

It's okay, it's not just a bar. Wanna go play fooseball or something?

air hockey?

Method of Madness · « **Reply #4305 on:** 07 Apr 2014, 12:20 »

That's fine.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #4306 on:** 08 Apr 2014, 01:35 »

I like air hockey!

Method of Madness · « **Reply #4307 on:** 08 Apr 2014, 04:36 »

Hooray! I do too, but I'm not very good at it.

I think my phone's autocorrect is sexist. It just corrected 'menstrual' to 'men's trial.'

ChaoSera · « **Reply #4309 on:** 08 Apr 2014, 05:32 »

I feel a little bad for it, but that made me laugh so hard.

Thrillho · « **Reply #4310 on:** 08 Apr 2014, 05:58 »

Me too, man. Me too.

Random thought, although relating to the wrestling hysteria of the last week or so: The green used in the Justice League cartoon for anything Green Lantern does is referred to by the writers as 'DX Green.'

A packet of silica gel in a recent purchase carried a label that said "DO NOT EAT".

I'd save money on groceries and save time otherwise wasted on trips to the bathroom, and lower my carbon footprint, but that does strike me as overly intrusive and arrogant advice coming from a packet of silica gel unaware of its non-metabolizing privilege.

LTK · « **Reply #4313 on:** 13 Apr 2014, 16:45 »

I don't see how any of those things is a result from defying the instructions of the silica gel packet. Regardless, the main reason the silica gel doesn't want you to eat it is because it has a job to do: keeping things dry, some of which you do want to eat.

Another random thought: You could tattoo (or just draw) a platypus on your finger and make your fingernail the bill.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #4314 on:** 13 Apr 2014, 22:09 »

It didn't say "DO NOT EAT ME". It said "DO NOT EAT". Silica gel has the same obligations as everyone else to communicate clearly.

"Sanitary sewer" is an oxymoron.

That pun was a little forced.

I didn't even know what he was saying until Gareth's reply. The "always" didn't help, that's a different line.

Ironic considering I had no idea what you actually meant!

And this is what happens.

When I was choosing a secret answer word for logging into my student loans account, perhaps I should have picked a word I can reliably spell.

jwhouk · « **Reply #4320 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 05:52 »

You chose "schumerschlangwerdon" again, didn't you?

Barmymoo · « **Reply #4321 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 06:15 »

The irony is, I'd be more certain how to spell that than the word I really did choose!

Schmee · « **Reply #4322 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 06:59 »

Is it 'haemorrhage'? I always want to throw that one into a spelling bee. (not literally)

Barmymoo · « **Reply #4323 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 07:24 »

Haha no, that is a good word though. I always have trouble with the word diarrhea as well, it seems like it should have an o in it (I don't have trouble with actual diarrhea since I gave up dairy, hurrah!).

Thrillho · « **Reply #4324 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 07:32 »

I believe one antiquated spelling of it does have an 'o.'

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #4325 on:** 14 Apr 2014, 11:24 »

My mother occasionally tells of the time that she was doing her Cert. Ed. and - for some reason - the subject turned to the spelling of 'diarrhoea'. After various variations on a theme of 'dye arrrgh hoe ear', a woman with a very thick Welsh (I don't know which part of Wales) accent at the back of the room says 'I find the runs works just fine, thank you.'

If our fingers were bigger or our nostrils were smaller we wouldn't be able to pick our noses.

Broken image. Hopefully you stay this time.

Did you find any good recipes?

Masterpiece · « **Reply #4337 on:** 15 Apr 2014, 05:57 »

I don't use my phone for recipes. But she's excellent for setting up reminders.

Dang, I was hoping you were going to give me a butternut squash recipe.

Non-alcoholic beer: A revelation. But it's fucking with my mind.

Alcohol-free beer? What's next, caffeine-free coffee?

Method of Madness · « **Reply #4344 on:** 17 Apr 2014, 13:19 »

Except caffeine doesn't actually affect the taste of the coffee.

Masterpiece · « **Reply #4345 on:** 17 Apr 2014, 13:24 »

Apparently, neither does alcohol.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #4346 on:** 17 Apr 2014, 13:34 »

Interesting. Then again, the non-alcoholic beers are probably not that good with alcohol, either. I don't think there are any craft non-alcoholic beers, although I could be wrong.

Why is it called a porterhouse steak when it is completely unsuited for housing porters?

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #4349 on:** 17 Apr 2014, 20:07 »

Ah but it does house porters, just the type that comes in pints.

I wish there was some way to convince Vladimir Putin to invade the United States. Preferably Alabama. 'Hey, Vlad, they've already seceded once. They don't like Washington much. Sounds good. Send over a few airborne troops in ambiguous camouflage. They'll probably just figure they're homeland security. Give it a shot.'
