If the man is under the impression that women are always right and men are always wrong, or thinks that women think women are always right and men are always wrong, is he right in his thinking that women are always right and men are always wrong, or is he wrong in hanging out with women who think women are always right and men are always wrong? :D

Could you create a rainbow poop by making yourself constipated, eating highly colored foods in the appropriate order and then releasing the beast?

infinite monkey 08-05-2016 04:47 PM

Eat all the red froot loops, then all the green froot loops, etc.

I was thinking more blue Gatorade, beets, tomatoes by the ton, but yes......

From the "No Shit." Department
 
Recently, a dead man was found floating in a toolbox in a local river (True Story™, btw).

It's been ruled a homicide.

No Shit™.

Maybe he just couldn't afford a casket and a plot.

Gravdigr 08-07-2016 03:45 PM

Being a river repairman is dangerous work.

Gravdigr 08-08-2016 03:16 PM

Hah!

River repairman.

:lol2:




He wasn't worth a damn, either! There are multiple leaks and blockages on that river...

I'm watching Pitch Perfect. I was like "is that Elizabeth Banks or Parker Posey?" I thought I can't be the only one who can't tell them apart:

Razzmatazz13 08-14-2016 09:58 PM

So, I started taking walks to lose weight. I've been going every day consistently for about a month now and I enjoy them. This week has been close to 100 degrees each day so I've been waiting till the evening/night to walk with my dog. It's a little creepier this way so I decided since I couldn't get out last night or today till after 9pm that I'd just go up and down my two main roads (the ones with streetlights) until I hit my 4 mile goal.

That was a great plan until I got followed by a FREAKING FOX. Thankfully it was mostly just curious and the husband came and picked me up in the car as quickly as he could. It was very creepy though as I've never been followed by a wild animal before and it shadowed me for about two blocks before I was rescued. Ahhhhhh!

elSicomoro 08-14-2016 11:16 PM

I've seen a lot of foxes in my neck of the woods recently. Not sure if they're more comfortable around humans or what.

Also popping up in this part of the world: armadillos. 4 years ago, they were 150 miles south of here...now they're just outside of the metro area. And getting killed...and fucking up cars.

sexobon 08-14-2016 11:28 PM

I think foxes are among the few natural predators of armadillos. Perhaps some cause and affect going on there.

Texas speed bumps.

elSicomoro 08-14-2016 11:41 PM

When I lived in Springfield, MO, I had a 2-week period where two of my drivers totaled their cars by hitting deer, and a third tore up a fender running over an armadillo.

Razzmatazz13 08-14-2016 11:44 PM

I've seen a handfull of them since moving to NC but never had one interested in me before. It was young and I had Tim, who was roughly the same size as the fox, with me so I wonder if that had something to do with it? Either way it was spooky for me. All the non docile animals just leave me be, k? Lol

Why do I have to pay a middle man a hundred damn dollars to write me a prescription for 'not a controlled substance'.

If you drive down the road with ANY prescription pills not in their proper container, [and get stopped by the popo] you will go to jail.

If I can't walk into Wally World and buy it without a prescription, that is a controlled substance. In circumstance, if not on an official list.

A prescription drug may not be a narcotic, or a recreational drug, but I still think that it would be a controlled substance.

Then again, I'm not a doctor. Or a cop.

I know this is an old post, but I can answer part of it for you.

I take a generic that is available OTC to combat massive acid reflux. I survive on $725 a month BEFORE I pay rent, which is almost half that amount. My OTC medication, at the cheapest local pharmacy, is $56 a month. When my 'scrip was originally written by a doctor who actually understood the nightmare that is fixed-income budgeting, it was given to me because on 'scrip the exact same month's supply cost $1.05. One dollar and one nickel.

I still take it, but changes in my insurance coverage have removed all my medication copays. If not for the prescription and the insurance actually covering it, I'd have had to skip many months, possibly leading to gastric and esophageal damage that could have required tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars in hospital visits and surgeries. I am profoundly grateful to the taxpayers who fund my quiet little life and I have a strong preference for minimizing my use of community resources and avoiding any spending beyond my means. This includes keeping myself out of the ER and off the surgical table whenever possible.

Added detail bonus I found out the hard way: if you do something stupid like leave the state without your tranquilizers, it is against USPS regulations to have them mailed to you in the bottle with the correct label unless NONE of the meds have been taken.

Weirdly, in my days of occasionally crossing over from Washington to British Columbia, the one and only time I ever got hostile treatment at a border station was when a Canadian friend was driving me home! It was the Americans who flipped out on us. They looked at my driver's license (but not his, although he was driving), then proceeded to ask me things like where I was born, where my mother was born, what was her maiden name, where did I live, why had I been to Canada...and they asked everything twice. They only asked him if he was Canadian and planning to stay in the US after dropping me off. He said no and they went right back to grilling me! It was so strange...

My mom would kill me if I throw away food, especially good food since she won't be able to see the fuzz without her glasses and she refuses to wear her glasses unless she's reading. I washed it real good and ate it. But hey, it killed my appetite and I stopped eating. :-D

Fuzz = mold = probably a bad idea. I recently did something similar with a loaf of bread that didn't show the mold until the day after a sandwich made me sick.

On a more disgusting note, I once knew a blind woman who insisted all her leftovers go into a semi-permanently simmering pot of "soup". She would get super pissed at me when I threw it out from time to time, insisting that I was (look away if you have a tetchy stomach...) lying about the DROWNED HOUSEFLIES floating in it. I did not enjoy my time living in that household!

And yes, that WAS the situation.

I'm with the bumper sticker on this one. Can't feed 'em? DON'T breed 'em! Good for dogs, cats, horses, and humans. All the other livestock I can think of is things we already do eat widely in the US, and the other popular home-breeding-friendly pets oftentimes can go to local pet stores--rodents, small reptiles, things like that.

I "adopted" a brother & sister 10 years ago who were born into a feral cat colony. By "adopted" I mean "stole from their mother when she started teaching them to be wild". I did this when I had no money and no immediate prospects for making money, which ordinarily I would regard as a hideously irresponsible act. The one thing that I did that many people do not is that I made a deal with my landlord, who already owned indoor cats. Her lazy kid claimed ownership of 3 cats but refused under any circumstances to clean their 4 catboxes. So in trade for cat food and litter from their household supply, I cleaned those 4 boxes every morning for almost a year and a half, missing a grand total of 4 days when I was super sick. I think we made a fair deal, and since I got put on lifetime disability back in '08 those cats have never missed a meal or had to go more than 48 hours without a freshly scooped-out litterbox.

And I had myself spayed (well, tubal ligation anyway) WAY before I could accidentally ruin a child's life by being its mother. Cats are about as much toddler as I can stand!

Bland Marvel Headcanon (which I found on Pinterest) and other Marvel Cinematic Universe headcanons address exactly that, largely picking on Captain America. I have many favorites, including:

"When Steve Rogers gets upset and starts yelling, Tony Stark fondly calls him Capslock."

There's a longer Texts from Avengers one about him texting Stark because "the robot next to the refrigerator hissed at me again." Reply: "That's the coffeemaker. Thank God you're pretty."

There are SO MANY more, but I gotta leave to pack up the truck for the trip out of state in like 18 minutes :(.

Foxes are urbanizing like crazy all over the world. So are coyotes (Central Park in NY, downtown Tucson, San Diego, just to name a few), raccoons, bears (Google for stories about bears up trees in places like Washington, DC), and cougars (someone got a pic of one on a backyard fence with the Hollywood sign in the background recently). All are good reasons to keep cats indoors and small dogs & kids under careful supervision!

We don't have many deer here in KC, but they are a regular problem in STL (where I'm from)...they're hanging out in the City now on occasion.

I have an "office" at a Tim Hortons in the Detroit suburb of St Clair Shores. There are several groups of regulars that might be there at any given time.

Today, I blew the minds of a group of old men by advising them that they can get the stuff they used to get in Playboy on the Internet for free. I then amazed some of them even further by explaining Wifi to them.

In college, I took a really stupid class on the "digital divide," i.e. the inequalities inherent among social groups with and without ready access to the internet. (The subject itself has the potential to be interesting, but this particular course wasn't.) One of the projects was to volunteer in a computer class at the local senior center. This guy in his 50s would teach the 20-minute lesson to a room full of 70- and 80-year-olds, and then the college kids would walk around helping anyone who was having trouble.

The teacher was mostly clueless about modern computer use himself, as he hadn't been a professional programmer since the 70s. But he was volunteering his free time, and the level of the old people was "how do I use a mouse?" so it was okay. But he was trying to get them to do things like use Outlook to manage their appointments (because, you know, retirees have so many important business meetings to attend,) and put "fun stationary" backgrounds in their emails. The moment he left the room, we began a polite but firm mutiny, informing everyone that actually, their grandkids would not appreciate it if they sent emails with graphics, and would be more likely to delete them.

Instead, one of the college guys suggested somewhat loudly to his old person that there was a way to clear his browsing history--say, if he wanted to buy his wife a birthday present without ruining the surprise. And for the first time, the class was very interested. Thus, we taught them all how to hide their porn searches. It ended up being a nice community service project after all.

In all seriousness, the sensory map of the human brain is all over the place, and it just so happens that the foot part of the brain is immediately adjacent to the reproductive organ part of the brain. And that's why foot fetishes are a thing, and elbow fetishes are not.

And yeah, I have a bit of a foot fetish, male feet only. It's not a straight up sexual thing, more like an intimacy thing. I find them fascinating and want to examine them, and want to be trusted to do so. But I am also extra repulsed by bad feet, so it cuts both ways.
