Off Topic

Lounge Lizards Forum

Since everyone is so easily side-tracked, this is a thread where it is impossible to get off topic, because this thread has no topic. Just say whatever, and let the conversation resolve of it's own momentum!

This morning (well, 1pm) I was groggy and my brain wasn't working so I made myself a couple of cups of really strong coffee. I overcompensated. A half hour later I was so wired that my hands were twitching as I typed and I couldn't do anything because I kept getting sidetracked by every little thing.
d'oh!

Okay,i'll go off topic by saying a topic:Nion is a genius.post away.

Nion is funny but I wouldnt say genius...... just kidding............. and I have done that too myself too Nion when I think I need it, then I regret it because I am TOO wired to do anything........... should of just slept it off and I NEEDED it this morning because I stayed up last night having a LOTR marathon.......... which meant I watched both EE's in one sitting....... went to bed at like 2am!!!!!

i bet you're kids found that to be uh...interesting eh Fuscia?

Well, Daddy was watching them. I put on some old 80's music and cleaned the garage, then I worked on the piece, then I danced with the kids................around midnight I started reading, around 2 I got fed up and took some Benedryl

When you are eating broccoli, have you ever pretended that you were a dinosaur eating trees? (It said you can post anything!!)

Even good brocolli is bad brocolli. I hate that stuff!!!!

AGggggggggggggggghhhh.

There are fields, endless fields where Broccoli is grown. For the longest time, I wouldn't believe it.
But then I saw the fields with my own eyes, spreading in every direction for miles.

I watched them harvest the broccoli so that it could be fed to the living, and standing there, facing the efficiency, the pure, horrifying precision, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth......

Broccoli sucks.

Good one Whidden!!! You are the best Law-dawg around here!!!

Seriously, broccoli isn't that bad, and it is good for your health too. And what would you guys rather eat? The evil incarnation of pure fat, french fries?

I'm just fooling around. I will actually eat the stuff if it is raw and there is some sauce to dip it in to kill the taste.

Cooked though........I can't even be in the same room with it, it makes me sick.


I hope Maxwell can brainwash those kids into eating it. It is good for you and will make you live longer......

It will be a new billboard:
"Broccoli. Created to get ranch dressing in your mouth."~ God

Broccoli and cauliflower raw is the best!

And I love fries. They are so bad for you. Mmmmm, tasty!

What is the dish called? That sounds sooo good.

And a little fat is good for your body. However the amount of fries I consume is not!

I am so going out for Indian this weekend. Hey do you know what the dish is called that is potatoes and chickpeas? It is like a stew. I can never remember the name and it is so yummy.

Driving home from work this evening, I saw a car rudely invade the space of a motorcyclist to where the bike had to bail out of his lane and back off. So the biker puts on his high beam, pulls along side the car IN the car's lane, put's it in neutral, and rev's at the motorist 10-15 times.

While I could understand the biker's frustration and certainly the peril that oblivious motorists put motorcyclists in:

1) Motorcyclists know and accept this element of danger EVERY time they get on their bike, and thus his little emotional outburst was unwarranted

2) He placed himself BACK in danger by pulling along side the car and flipping out - he had NO way to know how the motorist would react to his antagonization and could easily have been killed by an abrupt motion of the vehicles - whether or not such motion was intended.

Overall, the interaction ranked a 7 of 10 on my scale of stupid things not to do.

Happy 100 Maxwell!

would anyone else agree that chihuahua snot tastes remarkably like asparagus? or is it just me?

Well since I don't eat asparagus, I cannot compare it. But chihuahua snot can be really delicious when mixed with yogurt.

WOW! You mean I had respect at some point? How cool is that.

T-Rex w/Boobs

Happy now?

saggy.

This may seem sophmoric, but has anybody done any MadLibs recently?
We rediscovered them and do them quite often but we "tweak" them to make them even better.
For example, when it asks for a noun, we give a descriptive noun. (Instead of "3-toed sloth" for a noun, we will put down "prepubescent 3-toed sloth".) We tend to make them more *cough* adult as well.
If you have no idea what I am talking about, please disregard, but there has to be someone who remembers...

amazing. I was going to do the trex with boobs and i chose the exact same picture.

Hey you want to know what else is weird? I know a guy named Sean Kelly... I guess it's not that terribly rare of a name

I loved madlibs. I know what you *cough* mean.

Yay for vocabulary.

I love humor, I think it is the best thing in the world. Laughing always makes you feel better.

Well I was a teenager in the 80's, does that tell you anything?

Dekka, what's that quote from in your signature line?

Herdsmen? Patriot class? It sounded exactly like something out of a tribe. But he heard one word that sounded beautiful: Benucci

No, but if I were, I'd be essentially calling myself old as well and a lady never does that!

Now there is no reason to act lady like here, cut loose. Throw away the table manners.

I know I'm not aincent but sometimes when I find out how old some of the posters are, I laugh. They are just kids.

It has a nice flow to it, I thought it was from a book. Did you post your dream in the dream section?

not that particular one. I'll go do that now.

It's a good thing the kids are not here to see all this scratching and spitting!

Have I created a monster?

Nah, you just unleashed it! The monster side has been there all along!

I see the word broccoli and I think of the movie Daddy Day Care and wonder why any one would wear that costume

nion do you have a blog at mindsay?

Uh, I know this is a little off topic, but I think that the mods reminding us to stay on topic are more off topic than the off topic comments that we accidentally make. Uh, okay, so maybe that doesn't make sense. Never mind. Back on topic!

I love this thread!

Understood, Sherry! Don't mean no disrespect.

EWWWW! That was so grammatically incorrect! Sorry!

It be fine Heather

Yes, I found that intersting as well, I just chose to believe it was a mistake.

i do believe that weren't no mistake

Well, I suppose we need Heather to be drunk to answer this properly.

It's possible.

To get her drunk?

NO! We posted on top of each other. It is possible she meant the double negative.

The confusion was quite funny!!!

mm, you have a new screen name? (sorry to use mm). How did you do that?

Well, yeah, I have a new username. I had a very good reason to have it changed and Marc and Sean (the admins) accomodated me.

Cool, well glad to know it's still you. Was hoping that you had not been inhabited by aliens. I just hate when that happens.

So do we call him AM or MM?

I like AM. That sounds nice. Adi would be a good nickname as well.

adityamahesh you know you are going to get a nickname. everyone keeps trying to give you one. post what you think is acceptable. that way no one is offending you. and if you absoloutley do not want a nick name, say so.

I like your new screen name.

Awesome, good to know. I'm so dumb, I should have gone there first and read that.

Mahesh, I logged on yesterday and you had 19 votes and 4 stars. My first thought was that some weird nerdo had voted you down a notch.

I was gonna ask you about it and got side tracked on another thread.

Anyhow, I come back today, and you got 19 votes with 5 stars.

You notice that too, or do I need to get my eyes fixed?

He must have had only 1 bad vote.

Yeah, but both times it was 19 votes, with a different star count each time.

OH Rainbow! No clue then, sorry.

Well, I would have thought I imagined it, but I went and looked at his vote list to see who the dirty dog was that would trash my buddy Mmaheshwary with a low star count.

I didn't recognize a couple of the names, so I gave up.

It's not important anyway, I was just curious.

Fuscia, I read your Bio in the Gold member lounge. It was neat. I read somewhere in here, that you had a photo of yourself posted somewhere. Or was that in a Private message?

It was in a PM. Go check your in box. I will tell ya where to find me. Shh don't tell.

Maybe he voted once while he was alive

Fuscia, don't take this the wrong way, I don't want to get in trouble with Mr. Fuscia, but you are good looking!

Sorry, but I guess because of the the Sherry Godmother thing, I had you pictured as a Angela Landsberry type.


P.S.- I think you know me well enough to know I'm not an Internet perv trying to make a hit on you.

I saw the photo of Ron too, you make a good couple.

Hey Whidden, did you ever got to work on the Star Trek story I started? If you are too busy, I think I can continue it.

Thank you Whidden. I know you are not a perv, just one of my buddies here on the site. I loved your bio in the Gold forum.
Angela Lansbury? Well, most people think I must be blonde for some strange reason, but I am no Angela, at least not yet.

You guys are posting bios in the gold member forum? Are you all required to do that or is it optional?

Mahesh, sure go ahead and write some more. I got writers block. And I got a big stump I have to burn tomorrow, so I will have the fire to attend to all day.

Fuscia, I guess subconsciously I have a mental photo of what everyone in here looks like. I would post a list, but my star count would probably take a hit!

Oh, but you can pm me the list. I promise I will not tell!

I have a mental list too. Most people don't look like I thought.

It's required. If we don't post it, we get turned pink.

Don't worry Whidden, do it. We will protect you, unless you make me look bad, of course. Just kidding. Go ahead and do it.

Well, I am in a courageous mood, I will go and write up a post on what my mental photo of everyone is, if I get in trouble, I get in trouble....

You guys need to make one up too, so we can compare lists.

It will take me awhile to type it up...........

I have no idea what everyone looks like in here. My mind automatically gives each name a face, usually a movie or pop star.

I will go ahead and share what my vision of everyone is, along as no one gets mad at me. I know that I am way off base on what everyone really looks like, but here goes.....

Hey! How come almost everyone else got to be some one hot, and I got Angela Lansbury!

Oh, I can't guess too many because I know what a few of the members look like.

Don't fret fuscia, Angela is not a nasty old lady.

See attached.

--oops, made an error and it wont let me delete my post. ignore this one.--

Another one.

hehehe maybe he knows pulse is a girl and still thinks she looks like george clooney...

D'oh! I thought Pulse was a dude.....my mistake! Sorry! That's embarrassing.....

Fuscia, I thought of Angela Landsberry because of the Sherry Godmother title. The godmother made me think of Angela.

Maxwell reminded me of coffee, and I thought of Mrs. Walton asking John Boy if he wanted more pie and coffee.

I think Maxwell is brand of coffee, isn't it Whidden?

Maxwell house coffee.

Am I wrong, fuscia?

No. There is Maxwell House coffee.

Oh okay, so I was right then.

Yes you were. Well at least we know Whidden drinks coffee.

So Whidden, are you a coffee junkie who considers Maxwell House coffee his favorite fix? No pun intended.

I drink a lot of coffee, but it is Folgers Classic Roast. My parents used to buy Maxwell House coffee.

I think Maxwell House's Logo was Good to the last drop!

http://web.kraftfoods.com/maxwellhouse/images/products/featured/prod_flavoredgrounds.jpg

Duh! I should have thought of that. Our beagle is "Max" and we call him "Maxwell" sometimes, hence the name. We always joke about the "Good to the last Drop" thing as well so I can't believe I missed it!
I definately see where the Mrs. Walton thing came from now!
Very funny!

HOW 'BOUT DEM PANTHERS??

so what's the deal with people being scared of mice? They're such cute, furry little squeaky little critters.

they burrow! you never know when you're gonna wake up to one with 1/2 its body buried into your skull!

PANTHRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Panthers rock!! Watch out people the SuperBowl is all but won already!!!

I tell ya - those Patriots are on fire. But the Panthers have a very real motivation to win the Super Bowl (and I hope they do).

The Panthers remind me of the old Raiders. They climb aboard and take no prisoners. I painted a panther once. Then I ran like h...........l .

go redskins

Maxwell, I just noticed your 21st century Mrs. Walton. That cracks me up.

Had to, ya' know?

I did not have enough character space to change mine to

sherry godmother-she's no angela lansbury



Good choice Maxwell. No Whidden, we will never let you forget.

I was going to add something about coffee as well like, "Mrs. Walton, now serving fine coffee" or something like that but no room as well!
...and Whidden...Fuscia's right!

D'oh!!!!!!

D'oh!!!! (again....) I forgot, I'm 35, I forget a lot!!!!!

Mystic, I can't believe I forgot you in my list....to make it up to you, I am going to make a new list.


Top 3 coolest people at Inreview.com, by David Whidden

1. Mystic The photo's on the photo thread were pretty darn sharp! Wow!

2. The Rebel Rebel is cool and he knows it.

3. Fuscia Fuscia is very forgiving! If someone said they thought I looked like Bob Barker, I would have some issues.....Fuscia cut me a break and didn't turn me pink for thinking she looked like A. Landsberry (before I saw her photo).

Aw Whidden how could I be mad at you. I though it was funny.

Though, I might be mad with you, since I didn't make your top list

Hey, neither did I. Is it time to ask Tearminator to pay a visit to Whidden? Just kidding.

Hey! No picking on Whidden.

Notice that she's sticking up for Whidden because SHE made the list, AM?

Yes, I think that the Tearminator is going to need a call to the emergency line...
Tell him that Whidden needs to learn to remember ALL his friends!

Me too... and to think, I might have to fire her as my partner in law enforcement now!

I would rather get a thumpin than a stern look!

I'm gonna have to go tell Sandy she is a lucky woman and see if she believes me.....

This is great! I was going for the outdoor rugged look.....

Make sure you have taken out the trash when you tell her. I know if Ron had not taken out the trash and he told me that, he would get a stern look!

Sandy saw most of the photo's yesterday when she got home, she commented that they were all so pretty, she thought Internet forum people were supposed to be weird ugly under the stairs people. (paraphrased)

She's been in a good mood today, I might try to tell her how lucky she is to have me in a minute or two and see if it flies.....


On second thought, we are having a party tonight, I might wait till tomorrow morning to tell her.....

I was also surprised at how many good looking people are on here. I had the notion that there would be a lot of geeks. Boy was I wrong.

Lucky you Whidden. Ron is at Supercross, so it is just me and the kids. BORING!

Oh no. You are not getting me to open that can of worms.

For one, I expected more people to wear glasses like yours truly.

Geeks: nerdy looking computer people... that's what she's saying!!!

Hey guys... I went and saw, "The Last Samauri" tonight. Damn, it's good.
Tom Cruise picked an AMAZING movie to do... I will buy that dvd.

They are not geeks KJ,they are socially challenged ppl.
