Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore There's a place near here that does a chicken mole that is simply amazing. I've never had better. If you're ever in the area, I'll take you there. The place is called El Burrito. It's been run by the same family for some 50 years now.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings OK, I'm going to go on record with this. I know I'm committing heresy by saying this, but Bruce Springsteen is the most over-rated singer/songwriter ever, and he always has been. Seriously, I just can't see what people like about him or his music. The stoning may now commence.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings A solar year is 365.24 days. A lunar month is 29.5 days. Let us assume, for historical and religious reasons, that a week must be 7 days. In this new system, a calendar month equals exactly 4 weeks, or 28 days. A year consists of 13 calendar months (13x28=364 days). An additional day is tagged at the end of the year (call it an extra-calendar day, or month) and is set aside as a time of celebration. Every four years, a leap-day is added to the 14th extra-calendar month (following all the current rules about leap years, of course, necessary because the solar calendar just doesn't quite match up to the days). So, instead of this whole "30 days hath November" crap, we have a monthly calendar that makes sense. If it's Monday, it's either the 2nd, 9th, 16th, or 23rd, every month. The lunar phase moves back 1.5 days every month, going through a complete cycle every... what, about 18 years or so? This is the most wonky part of the calendar, but not too many people rely on the phase of the moon anymore. Also, we move the months back to their proper places. "October" means "Eighth Month," so it should be in the 8th place on the calendar. Same with September, November, and December.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread Red in beak and talon, then.

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread As I was taking a walk this afternoon along a nature trail near work, I saw a bird by the creek acting funny. Jumping around along the bank. So I stopped to take a closer look. It was a grackle having a fight with a little grass snake! The bird was just beating the holy hell out of the snake, which was just trying to get away. Every time it slithered away, the bird grabbed it with its beak, shook it around, and dropped it on the ground. The fight lasted maybe 3-4 minutes, until the snake just gave up and died. I have no idea why this made me happy. But it was really cool and fun to watch. Nature, red in tooth and claw.

Re: "Neat" Pictures That would be 31 flavors of awesome.

Re: I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) It was an old Hammer-style film, in black and white. A young couple was on a road trip, driving through a secluded part of the country. There was a long drop-off on one side of the road, a dark gray cliff tumbling into a raging sea. The car got a flat tire, and the car pulled to the side of the road. There was a town nearby, its rooftops visible over the rise. They walked to the town, hoping to find a gas station or someplace that could repair their tire. But the town was empty. Cold, deserted, dusty from non-use. Not a soul was visible, just a black crow eying them suspiciously from a rooftop. They walked up the main street, calling for anyone, but no one answered. Then a door opened, and a pair of matronly women emerged. "Oh, dears!" they said, smiling. "Do come in, won't you?" They took the couple up to their apartment on the top floor, for tea. They explained that the town had been abandoned; they remained only because this was where they had always lived. They couldn't bear to leave. The couple thought this odd. The town was most definitely abandoned, but it wasn't as if everyone packed up and left. There were still cars parked on the roads. There was still furniture in the houses. The stores were closed, but still filled with merchandise. "Why don't you stay the night, dears?" the kindly spinsters asked. "In the morning, maybe we can arrange for a tow truck?" The couple were suspicious, but they agreed to stay. They settled in to one of the empty apartments to wait out the night. But their suspicions grew, and curious, they peeked through the window of the old ladies. What they saw terrified them. The old women were, in fact, vampires. They shed their disguises as old women once night fell, and had fed on the people of the town! The young couple knew they had to get out. The man searched for some way of escape, and found a hot-air balloon. Despite not knowing anything about how to pilot such a thing, they decided it was their best chance. But they needed supplies. While the man prepared the balloon, the woman rushed down to the local 5-and-dime and began gathering food, water, any kind of equipment she could get her hands on. She passed an abandoned gas station along the way, but she found that all the station's spare tires had been slashed -- the women obviously had done so to prevent them from getting back to their car and fixing it! They had to hurry. The vampire women would be coming for them soon, and split up like this, both the man and his wife would be vulnerable...

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Timecard software is weird. If I leave for lunch at exactly 12 noon and return at 12:36, it says I've taken a 30 minute lunch (because of rounding). But if I leave for lunch at 12:02 and return at 12:38, it says I've taken a 45 minute lunch, despite having taken the exact same amount of time.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Some years ago, a friend went abroad and brought back some dill pickle flavored potato chips, and ketchup flavored potato chips. The pickle ones were OK, but the ketchup ones were just nasty.

Re: The cranky thread Damn. That's terrible. My sympathies.
