lemming Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Guinness has longest hot dog (6.9 meters), and tallest celery plant (2.94 m), but nothing about pickles. They only will slander cucumbers with: Least Nutritive Fruit The fruit with the lowest calorific value is the cucumber (Cucumis sativus), with 16 kilocal per 100 g (73 kilocal per lb.). Obviously, they have an agenda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightybec Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Just checked out some of my old favorite comics today, and I just about tossed my cookies. What's up with all of this bad art lately? (JLA, Uncanny Xmen, ect...) and when did the nasty animae look infect the pages of Marvel? Is it too much to ask to have Jim Lee pencil all of the decent comics from now on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Worldmaker Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 You know, I discovered what is a worse way to wake up than having your 2 year old screaming because he's vomited all over himself. And that's you waking up because you're a second away from vomiting all over yourself. Repeatedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klytus Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Dropping Balls Juggling is an activity best suited for keeping 3 or more solid objects moving in front of you. Try it in real life, and it just hurts way too much when you drop something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Gillen Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Driving my cab today I picked up one guy on a run to his doctor's hospital. He told me- as well as he was able- that during his military service he'd taken something like 2.5 rads (where 4 is enough to kill) and over the past decade had something like 117 surgeries, with maybe 100 of those being Veterans Administration operations that screwed up at some point or other. Of all the things I have to be grateful for in life, I guess I should add my tongue and my jaw to the list. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 So, there I was, having a rotten morning at work after being out since last Tuesday. No surprise, of course. Things had been going downhill since the moment I'd walked in the door. People were being very careful of me, since it was pretty obvious that I was in no mood for any crap. Then I get this call right before lunch. It's Kara's boss. She's calling to apologize for Kara's recent overtime and the fact that she was sending Kara home tonight with a lot of new procedures that needed to be learned. She then proceeded to tell me how much having Kara in the office meant to her and everyone else. Both on a professional level for her ability, willingness to help out and her work ethic, and on a personal level for her always upbeat manner, the smile she always had on her face and the way she dealt with everyone. The admiration was obvious in her voice and I don't think she's that good an actress. I'll be damned if I didn't have a smile on my face for the rest of the day. archermoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zornwil Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Originally posted by Old Man I feel the need to spew random thoughts onto a public board from time to time so I thought I'd start up a thread to do it. Of course everyone else is welcome to spew here also--the only rule is that you cannot reply to someone else's post. Each post should have as little to do with the others as possible. I'm just musing - it all started with this. Possibly the greatest thread of NGD ever. Such a modest post. Did I break a rule by posting this? Consider we're several hundred posts away from it - not really. And I am musing on this, and now "this" is no longer truly a part of this thread - it is the idealization or the prototype or something, but as a historical artifact is unto itself. A thing, an object. What am I saying? Oh, just that this was a totally cool idea, Old Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSword Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Originally posted by death tribble Well we now have the first three tracks. The B vote is now in and the winner is The Bangles and Hazy Shade of Winter. Off topic for the compilation tape thread, so here's a musing about it. I heard a cover of this song at the gym. What is it with modern covers? Someone hears an oldie by goodie, decides that it needs to be modernized, so they add a lame backbeat from a Casio keyboard, get a studio to take someone's voice and make it sound like its almost in the right key. Throw those together and promote it. Crap + crap = crap. Its just sad to hear these classic songs I grew up with (because my parent's prefered music from their generatiion) trashed by modern studios.

MrWolf Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'm not sure if I'm sad, disappointed, relieved, or ... dunno... that lately, a lot of things that I'd have liked to respond to...make me just say "why bother", as I know that my words won't have any effect. I'm sure that could be said about me as well, but... anyway. Reminder: do not reply to this post in this thread!

Klytus Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Looking at Super Phemy's avatar has reminded me of something... as the proud owner of a dark-blue Superman t-shirt, I wore it underneath the heaviest white-collared shirt I have. Trust me, if C.K. did that in real life, his secret ID wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
