Aww man, this kid gave me some Bazooka last week and there wasn't even a comic. What's the point? I was very disappointed. I pulled my turtleneck up to my nose just for effect.
thanks for saying that dana. my first thought was " a BJ from a complete stranger?"
eh, i dated this girl once and she would just lay... oh nevermind.

Last night, Sunday Afternoon and several times the week before. :-)
Being gay makes sex easier to get than water.

Oh crikey - sparked off a bad memory. Not in the WTC, so I forgive you.
I was working my way round to finishing with a man who was quite besotted with me. I just didn't want to hurt his feelings (well okay, he came in the pub I worked in with a group of other guys I liked and the awkwardness was a factor). So I took to
submitting to his advances rather than
participating. He said something like, "At least move Sundae, it's like fucking a corpse!" I took it as my cue to storm out (well it's pretty much a relationship ender!)
He stopped coming to the pub after that. I am still ashamed at my duplicity 15 years later.

I'd be more worried about having sex with someone who knows what fucking a corpse feels like! lol

true, but to be fair being in scottsdale makes sex about as easy to get as water. for anyone.
I may not reply to any threads for a while.
I'm googling flights to Scottsdale.

I moved to Phoenix 3 weeks ago. New place, same amount of sex, if not more.
And the funny thing is, now that I'm single, i get the 20 somethings (and a few 18 somethings) who want the single Daddy thing.
I will never understand humans but I never learned how to say no. ;-)
*wonders how much a ticket to Scottsdale would cost*

Along the same lines, the so-called prizes in Cracker Jack these days are beyond lame. The last one I got had a couple US President Trivia Questions. Oh, besides that, I don't think there was more than one peanut in the whole damned box.

Senator Craig, no!!!
Wait, this is Arizona we're talking about... just exactly how easy is it to get water??

Raytown is closer. Google flights to MCI for this weekend. I'm free. And easy.

See my post to SG above. Perhaps you could get a twofer price...something like "Friends Fly Free to Get Laid".
Wait, this is Arizona we're talking about... just exactly how easy is it to get water??
If you are a developer....There are no limits on water use in Arizona... New golf course?...Sure..we can do it......even though we are in the seventh year of drought.
If you are a homeowner...You are urged to conserve water. Low flush toilets that don't work...Special shower head nozzles,,,etc..... I just put in a winter lawn of rye grass...Sure looks marvelous.
The Central Arizona Project that delivers water to the Phoenix area and as far south as Tucson...Comes from the Colorado water allocation.
This water is actually used to recharge groundwater supplies.
i haven't made kitkat cheesecake in a while, so that's something I haven't had in a while.
I think I might make one very shortly though...now that I've thought about it and all...
I swear it's better than sex anyway.
eh, i dated this girl once and she would just lay... oh nevermind.
Bet you didnt date her for long.
M - ..my toes sucked, but that could have something to do with the toe jam....

Am packing my bags and heading to Scottsdale

I KNOW! Back in the old days, kids would get model rockets, tricycles, and tubas. Maybe I exaggerate a bit. When I was a kid you at least got one of those little things you could write on then lift the paper and it would erase. Sad sad sad! :)

Recipe, please. I beg of you.
Bwa ha ha ha!!!
I just PM'd her the same request. But I offered to do the conversions...
A Mars bar :(
Can't get them here. Snickers, yes (first thing I purchased in Japan), but no Mars bars :mecry:
damn now I really want one :bawling:
<consoles self with vegemite>
I'll make you a deal. I haven't been able to get any of
my favorite tea, so if you are interested in trading some good Japenese tea for some Mars bars, PM me.
It sounds like that recipe needs to be posted.... :drool:
I'll post that recipe as soon as I've made one myself. The reason I can't share it with you just yet is tht I need to pay attention to the quantities before I can post them lol. Sorry. I'll probably make one later today, so I'll post it this evening our time...so it'll be here in the morning for all you yankies. :)
BTW Stevo, how'd your flushing go?

Ahhh honey, you need a care package?
I posted the cheesecake recipe in the food and drink forum for those of you who were interested. :)
I have Tim Tams and Cadbury's chocolate, vegemite and Cooper's beer. I am coping.
For a sweet zingy taste sensation, mix one part of wasabi with three parts honey. Try it first straight off a spoon, and then think what you might add it too. I love it.

Do they have American candy? Over here Mars Bars are cunningly disguised as the more pathetic Milky Ways in order to perplex caramel-craving Brits.
Mars bars are different over there?
The thing that says Milky Way actually has the caramel in it and is effectively a Mars Bar.
Something else (I think maybe 3 Musketeers) has just the fluffy stuff like a Brit Milky Way
Caramel in a Milky Way?? That's just plain wrong. Everyone knows caramel stays where it belongs in a Mars Bar.
Yup and they have Whoppers which look just like Maltesers, but :vomitblu: it's a mean trick to play, I tell ya
*frowns* now I need to know.....what's inside the whoppers?
And no substitute for Topics. :(
What has a hazelnut in every bite?
Topic!
[eta] They ain't what they used to be in fairness....more like what has a piece of hazelnut in every other bite?
*frowns* now I need to know.....what's inside the whoppers?
Well they look just the same...... but taste like barf and aren't crunchy enough and the chocolate is, well... h**sheys.....

Squirrel shit
lol haven't heard that one in years Monster haha. Thanks for the quick trip back:P

I am not troubled by the peanut deficit, as I was always in it for the caramel covered popcorn. For years I've thrown my candy-coated peanuts to the squirrels so that they will get cavities, their teeth will fall out and they will die. I consider it a public service.
I agree on the toys. I got a "pencil topper" and some thing with really crappy folding instructions that was supposed to make a mouth for a ducky on one side and a moo cow on the other. I didn't get it. I want the compass and the dragonfly viewers back! Even those little packs of food dye tattoos and the little goofy notepads were better than the current version. And whatever happened to the fortunes on the toy packet?
It's because freaking everything comes with a kids' toy these days--seriously, a pack of AA batteries recently came with a random-ass little promotional toy car (that wasn't even battery-powered!) They can't compete without seriously upping the toy budget, so they've stopped trying.
You, as adults, think that a compass or dragonfly viewer would be cool. I can tell you with certainty that my stepkids would, at best, just sort of stare indifferently at something like that, and at worst would outright scoff at how it didn't even move or make noise.
On the other hand, I don't know any kids that eat CrackerJacks anymore, only adults. So maybe they're aiming at the wrong market after all.
I bought a pack of Duracell Batteries (I prefer Eveready) because it came with an adventure whistle.
I'm a sucker for free toy inside this box.
(I am guessing that Cracker Jack lacks good toys today because of the choking potential, although not one of my friends died because they were stupid enough to inhale the mini compass in a tire.)
Your step children must be in some way damaged that something as cool as a dragonfly viewer would not excite and entertain them. I bet they don't like kaleidoscopes either. Or that ping-pong paddle thing with the ball on the long piece of elastic attached to it.
I had Cracker Jacks as a kid, but they always tasted like shit, so I'm not sure what the big deal is. Maybe they're like Twinkies. Or maybe I'm just spoiled by homemade carmel popcorn.
homemade camel popcorn.
I mis-read and the mind boggled.
:we need a camel smiley: I'll just have to use a different type of hump meanwhile
:doit:

Correct on all three counts. :)
This could just be an urban legend, but I seem to remember someone telling me that when he was a kid, he once had a box of CrackerJack that was missing the prize. He was so disappointed that his mother wrote to the company, and they responded by sending him a whole package full of prizes.
Why not? It probably put the company out what, 15 or 20 cents?
My parents found what they thought was a piece of bone in their croissants from Sainsbury's (one of our Big Four supermarkets). Apparently testing revealed the hard object to be a piece of fruit stone, not bone, and they didn't accept that the object necessarily came out of the croissant. But as a gesture of goodwill my parents received vouchers totalling far more than the croissants cost.
These days people would probably just sue :)

HIGHLY unlikely. I can remember being told by our operations manager at a different company that it costs them (the company) about $140 to pay a bill, by the time you add up what it takes for each employee to handle their part of the process.
I found that number unbelievably high, but it did point out to me that it costs a lot of money to run a big company. Their cash flow is like a river compared to my babbling brook.
You haven't had two periods in a while?! That's good news, right?

That's insane in an era where any old Joe can pay all of his bills online with a click or two. The fact that companies are still operating this way is pretty astounding.
I smell IT/E-Business consulting opportunities!
I doubt such numbers refer specifically to the cost of printing and mailing a single check. I'm going to guess that my employer, for example, cuts maybe 100 checks a week--that's accounts payable; payroll is handled outside. And the printing and mailing process takes a person maybe 2 hours. (I'm guesstimating here based on what I've seen & questions I've gotten.) I doubt bigger places spend proportionally more time or effort.
I expect the figure was arrived at by calculating time spent by various people to follow whatever procedures are in place to approve the payment in the first place. (I could be wrong, of course.)

I agree with your analysis, SD. Please also keep in mind that this exchange happened about 15 years ago. The fact remains that the 15 cents worth of popcorn and peanuts that went out the door is the least element of the cost of such a transaction.
Which is why most companies simply give people vouchers etc these days regardless of what the complaint is. It's cheaper just to do that than to have a detailed complaints process set up.
Hijackers!
A good night's sleep.
