Repetitious Activities

Flint • Dec 18, 2008 1:17 pm
Do you find comfort in doing things the same way every time?
In your experience, do you find that the blessing outweighs the curse?

Put some pants on ya hippie.

How do you know I'm not wearing 80s short shorts?
lookout123 • Dec 18, 2008 1:34 pm
cuz I don't think that drum has anything to do with the repetitious activity you were talking about.

Uggh. He plays the drums in hot pink 80's spandex. (he wears short shorts!) The worst part is, he thinks it makes him really rock. :)

No really, I've made french press coffee the same way for 7 years. People always say I make a great cup of joe. I think it's win win. There's no grand technique, just little practical measures that go into a good pot. If one of those is thrown off, it doesn't taste as good. And I get the most out of my bean without the bitter.

Earl Grey is a finicky Tea, and people screw it up all the time. I watch them dump 16 0zs. of boiling water over the bag, leave it in the cup, and snap the lid on. Nooooz! Then again, I am the only crazy person I know that got a whole set of mugs devoted to the specific qualties that make a good cup of Earl Grey. I do that the same way every time because...why suffer the low quality when you know better?

It's all about how you flick it, right Cic?
Cicero • Dec 18, 2008 1:42 pm
There is no flickin'. :(

Philistine. ;)

I used to find a whole lot of comfort in doing things a certain way. Then my children utterly broke me, and now I'm happy just to get things done at all.

That sounds very familiar.

Flint, I bet you're good at archery or shooting. Aim small, miss small.

Flint, keep a close eye on that spot on your leg. If it changes shape, size or colour, itches, bleeds, or has more than two colours in it, see a doctor. It is probably just a regular mole but watch the little beggar. They can turn nasty.

why do people have the impulse to say shit like that?

He trying to out-Monk me.
ZenGum • Dec 18, 2008 8:11 pm
Do you think that was inappropriate, then? Apart from being off thread, but that doesn't stop anyone here.

I was inclined to pass on information which I thought might be useful, and possibly life saving.
Which reminds me; Lumberjim, you are definitely going to die. I don't have the details yet though, but I'll let you know as soon as anything comes up. :p

The same thing happened to me, so now I spend my whole life teaching them 'the right way' to do things. ;)

It's not really surprising that an Australian would bring something like possible future skin cancer up.

Any informed Aussie knows we have the *highest incidence of skin cancer in the world. Most of us are a bit paranoid about it.

* God I hope I've got this fact right. lol

What do you expect when a bunch of whites move to the arid tropics and the area where the ozone hole disappeared?

Glatt has a point.

repetitive activity injury

I thought this was going to be a thread about explaining to your spouse how to put the cap back on the tooth paste.

:eek:
Shawnee123 • Dec 19, 2008 2:09 pm
I have a really dumb question. I've seen the "fap fap fap" thingy before, but I thought it meant the noise you make from typing. Later I thought about it and realized it might be referring to another repetitious motion.

Which is correct?
Cicero • Dec 19, 2008 2:14 pm
Ya. wtf?
Undertoad • Dec 19, 2008 2:36 pm
The place to look up street/internet terms is Urban Dictionary

Fap is also a term of the internet culture, which means it is documented in [COLOR=Red]NSFW *[/COLOR] Encyclopedia Dramatica [COLOR=Red]* NSFW[/COLOR]

Fap fap fap is the sounds boys make and shlick shlick shlick is the sound girls make during their respective acts of repetition.

Well the ozone layer was intact when we moved here. apparently.

There are plenty of white people living in hot sunny areas of the US too. I think they're just a bit more modest than the average aussies.
