Re: A Thread for Random Musings

 

Yesterday, after a sleepless night, I had two all-beef hotdogs and lemonade for breakfast at 5 a.m. Not bad, although I still prefer pizza for breakfast. I once ate sushi for breakfast, but that didn't turn out too well. Of course, I overdid it on the wasabi and had a coughing fit.

 

And yes, I sometimes eat cereal as an after-dinner dessert.

In another thread someone posted a reference to TF: SMG. My first thought was "Sub-Machine Guns as a Transport Familiarity?" My second thought was "Sarah Michelle Geller?" and went downhill from there. After that' date=' my brain caught up. ;)[/quote']

 

Sarah Michelle Gellar as a Transport Familiarity?

DEEP THOUGHTS

 

 

1. I planted some birdseed. A bird came up. I don't know what to feed it.

 

2. I had amnesia once -- or twice; I think?

 

3. I went to San Francisco. I found someone's heart. Now what?

 

4. Protons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic.

 

5. All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

 

6. If the world were a logical place, men would ride horses sidesaddle.

 

7. What is a "free" gift? Aren't all gifts free?

 

8. They told me I was gullible. And I believed them.

 

9. Teach a child to be polite and courteous and when he grows up he'll never be able to merge his car onto a freeway.

 

10. Two can live as cheaply as one - for half as long.

 

11. Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.

 

12. What if there were no hypothetical questions?

 

13. One nice thing about egotists: They don't talk about other people.

 

14. When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail.

 

15. A flashlight is a case for holding dead batteries.

 

16. What was the greatest thing before sliced bread? Hmmmm?

 

17. My weight is perfect for my height - which varies.

 

18. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

 

19. The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity.

 

20. How can there be self-help "groups"?

 

21. Is there another word for synonym?

 

22. Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all"?

 

23. The speed of time is one-second per second.

 

24. Is it possible to be totally partial?

 

25. What's another word for thesaurus?

 

26. Is Marx's tomb a communist plot?

 

27. If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?

 

28. Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants off.

 

29. It's not an optical illusion. It just looks like one?

 

30. Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken???

There is a lowerarchy of suck at the office. The person who annoys me the most. Makes my job more difficult by their continued presence.

 

the default is my assistant manager. She's been with the company almost as long as I have, and I know she spends all day doing nothing and when she's not doing that she's screwing up.

 

The current reighning champion was fired in october.

 

so...

Is it the stoner chick high school intern?

or the spends all day complaining about everything girl?

 

 

Only time will tell.

Final Fantasy XII - to some, gaming nirvana; to others, overhype of the century with girlie boy heroes.

 

To me? WOW. the cutscenes are impressive, the actual game scenes are impressive. The world is big, and pretty. The combat....interesting. It's a bit confusing at first and you use almost all of the controller. The story is pretty standard but well executed (IMO) and there's already been one plot twist that caught me off guard. The bad guys have british accents! That's cool.

 

It reminds me a bit (perhaps a bit too much) of Starwars for some reason. The game takes place in Ivalice (from FFtactics Advance) and there are similarities to that game...I gotta say, graphically? No one does it better than Squareeinx. It's Perty.

This is the last weekend before the elections! :celebrate: Only five more days of shameless highly-refined scare drivel and libelous smear attacks.

 

Also, I'm filling the tanks of both my vehicles tomorrow. There've been allegations that gasoline prices in particular are being manipulated to reduce dissatisfaction with the general incumbency. I'm not sure I believe that, but I'm willing to speculate with the ~$70 it's going to take to fill 'em up. And if gas hits $4.00/gallon by Thanksgiving I win big.
