One year while they remodeled our high school's cafeteria, Mcdonalds catered our lunches. The set up was really confusing and it was a few weeks before I figured out where I was supposed to pay for my awesome chef's salad (remember when they had those - why did they stop???).
It was always funny to run into D-Town alum years later - someone would always bring up the year of the free Mcdonalds.

They fed us at our school too. It was truly awful -I'd've given anything to be allowed to take packed lunches.

My school was a closed campus. You either brought your lunch or ate in the cafeteria.

Now, when I see HS students congregating at fast food places every day for lunch--it seems wrong. And not very nutritious. God forbid they should do something as uncool as bringing homemade food for lunch.

I hate tract houses! I'd rather live in a yurt.

Housing is TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE!

[crazy time travel guy] It won't be after 2012 when the bird flu pandemic comes through. Lots of empty homes then. [/crazy time travel guy]

Nothing to do with the flu, though, but because people can't afford to light their homes what with old-fangled bulbs being outlawed. yurts by candlelight'll be all they can manage.

Bring out your Dead!

i see myself as a future survivor of a major pandemic.

And get the Led out!

what's going on?!?!? I'm con-fus-ed

Puh...we'll see bird flu as soon as the killer bees get here.:headshake

In the Police song Message in a Bottle, the line, I hope that someone gets my message in a bottle. Does someone mean anyone, or does someone mean, that special someone.

As for the message in a bottle. Does Sting have a drinking problem. Maybe he has deep problems than that, and his drinking is a cry for help.

And dance around with their body parts

no body parts!

and Weird Harold--I think it's someone as in anyone.

Didn't everyone have unhealthy breakfasts as a teenager?
As soon as I started earning my own money (evening & weekend job) I was able to indulge in all the things that were rationed at home. Hence sugary fizzy drinks as soon as I left the house :rollhappy

my breakfasts are getting worse as i get older, it now consists of 2 coffees & 2 cigarettes.
I shall probably be dead by 2012

You're only giving yourself five more years?

That's kind of a dim outlook.

Isn't the Aztec prediciton the world will end in 2012?

I saw something, probably on the Discovery channel, yes 2012 they have it down to the day, and somewhere on the other side of the globe the same date is predicted.

My Furminator works hard.

My refrigerator hardly works.

My brain just drifts.

:)

Do bikers listen to music.. ive been wondering about this for a while. Do they have to listen to the bike all day or do they have music in their helmets... :confused:

The Mayan Calendar ends 12/21/2012.

The last time the Mayan Calendar ended and began a new cycle, the Spaniards came to the New World.

The world doesn't end. It just changes.

But you won't see the repercussions right away.

Maybe they grew tired of making the calendar and decided to stop there.

They ran out of paper.

In the High School cafeteria (the HS i went to in KCMO), every Thursday we had Chicken Fried Steak day. CFS was delicious and included: mashed taters and gravy and a roll. MMmmmmm....

I also loved the Tostadas (funky ass pizza), and the Otis Spunkmeyer double chocolate cookies (4/dollar).

*long, ear splitting, primal scream*

Oh boy......that felt good.

I'm getting really tired of dodging kids in stores who wear those sneakers with the built-in rollers.

Keep a handful of gravel in your pocket to toss on the floor in front of them.

I hate it when people throw gravel in front of me as a rollerblade through the store.. :p

caltrops!

Ohh, I think my dingy's hanging out!

I feel like crap today. I stayed up way too late reading a book, and I fell down a couple of stairs and landed on my ass. Jarred my spine, and I'm all sore today. (and no, it was not my cats playing Staircase of Death. This time.)

So, how are you?

I hit a new max on Straight-Legged Dead Lifts and then went dancing. In some circles this is referred to as a "bad idea." I'm so sore today it's not even funny. Too bad the pills that mother gives don't do anything at all. :thepain:

My pills help me a lot.

oooh, but I love that soreness feeling. And dancing! good for you!

After a good workout, that soreness feeling is great too. It means your workout worked!

I return to civilization tuesday! :D

some new kink, grant?

Edit: Re: the caltrops. (Okay, I can't figure out how the multi-quote thingy works. Which is actually fine with me, 'cause it's usually pretty obnoxious)

I still feel like shit today from falling. Too bad--it's pretty nice out. :(

I'm watching my Belly Dance Superstars at the Folies Bergere DVD, and rotating 15 minutes picking up the upstairs, downstairs, & kitchen. Slow going, though.

Lo Wang is: Shadow Warrior

"Woops, Lo Wang drop soap, you bend over get it, hahaha"

The quotes are funnier if you could find the game or the sound files.

lol, you push the multi quote button on each post you want to quote, in order, and then you push the actual quote button on the last one you wish to quote. I've been here less than a week and I got it figured out.

It's pretty cool.

I do all my quotes by hand. I hate it when a whole post is quoted when really only a sentence or two is being responded to.

You can remove any of the quote with the backspace key. You can also put words in people's mouths.

Quoting is overrated.

People who drive with dogs on their lap should be fucked to death by Sting.

Shadow warrior was a great game, AND hilarious. The kamikaze sapper was brilliant.

Let's pretend we're married and
go
all
night!

Worst/greatest pickup line ever.

"Nice shoes.....wanna fuck?"

I know someone that used that, he did not get laid that night.

Did he get a compensatory flash instead?

Nope, nothing.

He is kind of a tool anyways so I didn't really feel bad for him.

I HATE MY JOB. MY OTHERWISE WONDERFUL BOSS HAS BECOME A MICRO-MANAGING PAIN IN MY ASS. THE BOARD SHOT DOWN OUR REQUEST FOR ANOTHER STAFF PERSON, WHICH WE ASKED FOR BECAUSE OUR WORKLOADS HAVE INCREASED AT LEAST 4 FOLD SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE (5 years.)

SNARL, GRUMP, SNAP...

:(

Got a call from my wife a few minutes ago. She had been able to secure some ammonia from the grocery store, and has doused two rags thoroughly with the foul stuff and shoved them into the base of our chimney where the furnace hooks into it. Hopefully that will drive our resident raccoon away. She's also called a chimney sweep to install a chimney cap later in the week. If the raccoon isn't gone by then, the chimney $weep can remove it for a $mall fee.


Moral of the story? You may be able to get away without a chimney cap for many many years, but eventually the lack of a cap will be a bigger problem than if you had just put one on in the first place.

Blackberry server down.

Hair on fire.

More updates as events unfold.

How big is your chimney's opening? Mine is like, two little cylinders less than a foot radius. A racoon got in there? Dangggg.

I didn't measure it, but it looks about 8 inches square from the ground.

Sigh, doesn't everything? :rolleyes:

My mom used to use ammonia, to strip the wax on the floor. One time I told her I couldn't go to school, cuz I had pneumonia. She asked me how I knew, and I said because I could small ammonia. I was so gosh darned cute.

Ammonia smells bad. Really bad. I lost my sense of smell because of it.

Yellowish crud in sinus disturbed digestive tract not sleeping driving driving driving no exercise bad food make Homer grumpy

Morons I work with apparently mix ammonia and bleach...no wonder they're brain dead.

I'm trying... I'm really trying hard. It's soooo difficult. :mecry:
