I Had A Random Thought...

[Bjorn]

And that just makes me think of my favorite time travel short stories.  Wikihistory is the best story about going back to kill Hitler, written in the style of Wikipedia editor wars.  I don't know if there's a copy of All You Zombies online, but it's the go to example of a great story about going back in time to fuck with your previous self.

I bought SpaceBase since Chris Remo was involved, but now that he is working for Campo Santo, i feel as betrayed as an Occulas Rift backer. So betrayal.

If it helps, it's fairly unlikely I would have contributed much more to it had I kept working at DF. I did the soundtrack and contributed various things here and there but once the game went on sale it scaled down to a smaller live team and I didn't have much input anymore.

I recommend checking out bonobos.com for work pants.  I just bought this pair here (http://www.bonobos.com/slim-light-grey-dress-pant-for-men) and they feel comfy/roomy but also somehow give my skinny ass something resembling a butt - my wife is thrilled.

 

As advertised

It's ok, I was the one who forgot to use the <joke> font.

The word "Queue" blows my fucking mind.

[SecretAsianMan]

I hate the word "functionality".  It sounds like a fake word to me.

[Justin Leego]

The word "Queue" blows my fucking mind.

How do you like the look of "queuebed"?

[Zeusthecat]

That looks like an onomatopoeia for something.

Curious cubes queued up to meet Q, queuing questions for the man behind the quixotic character.

¿Que?

If we're talking about shitty words, "gift" as a verb can go fuck itself. We already have a word for that; it's called "give."

[Twig]

Oh, gift me a break.

[Stuart]

Oh, gift me a break.

 

[Brannigan]

Gift me a piece of that kit kat bar

I guess this should be considered embarrassing but I feel like this is a safe place.

 

So last night I watched an episode of Pokemon with my daughter that had Jigglypuff singing the Jigglypuff song. Then, when I put her to bed, I sang the Jigglypuff song in a Jigglypuff voice as her lullaby. I'm 29.

After reading that word 28 times in a row it has lost all meaning to me.

You should hear the songs I sing to my cat in the morning while brushing her... Nothing embarrassing about a little jiggly jingle.

Don't feel embarrassed, even Batman sings the Jigglypuff song sometimes.

You're a dad. You get a pass for this sort of thing.

I am very frustrated by a world in which I can go out with a different female friend three times in a couple of weeks, and every single fucking time at least three people comment on what a cute couple we make. Three different friends, two weeks. Apparently friends have good chemistry, I guess? Fuck heteronormativity, and fuck everything.

 

(Sorry, just saw came home from going to see Collective Soul [fuck yeah trashy 90s rock] with my friend and getting sick of saying "nope, not a couple" to middle aged women who kept insisting that we had to be)

 

EDIT (possibly belongs in "Intoxicated"): Also, I really want pickles, but I just brushed my teeth and that would be the worst decision in the world. Why the fuck did I not realize I wanted pickles until after the toothpaste was in my mouth?

[Brannigan]

I used to get some of that crap when being in public with my sister. The FAR worse variant though were the gross "yo that yo woman? Dang she fine" shit.

This happens sometimes in the rom-com K-dramas I watch. I'll go ahead and inform you how this will go down. The one that is a spoiled rich kid (and probably the rudest most inconsiderate of the three) is going to be told that she will be cut off from the family-fortune unless she gets married. This will be the impetus for the two of you to go ahead and confirm what everyone else has already suggested (that you make a good couple) by entering a fake relationship. The guidelines will have to be set though (this won't be a problem since you would never actually be attracted to them and they would never actually be attracted to you) so you will have to write a contract up about when public affection will be necessary.

After a lot of awkward moments, some close-calls and a few genuinely sweet heart-to-hearts, something bad will occur in one of your lives. You will feel that it's not your concern (it's a fake relationship after all), but you won't be able to sleep and you will make them some hot porridge or something. This will likely be when you meet their old flame. Turns out, he's kind of a dick. You will express this, but she will just accuse you of being jealous and slap you in the face with the contract. Your anger will turn to tears and you may confide in a friend about it. This friend will undoubtedly ask you "You don't actually like her do you?" You will not answer "no" fast enough and we will all know that the heart has made it's decision. This won't be the end of your story though. The two of you will have to accept that you now depend on each other (even though your minds say you shouldn't) and you will have intermidant fights that result over the ego's unwillingness to compromise or let the other person interfere. Don't worry though. At some point the two of you will make enough mistakes (*ahem* getting back with exes briefly) that both of you will realize that the thing that remains constant and stable is that which you have no power over, how much you care about each other. This reality won't make you "happy" per-se, but it will be something that provides you with an integrity that encourages you to perform at your best.

Edit: Has one of you gotten too drunk and had to be carried home by piggy-back? If so, it's pretty much a done deal.

Yeah, this happened to me all the time when I was in college and my sister was in high school. It was especially odd because my sister was blond and tan and I was still in my pale emo kid phase. We didn't stand particularly close to each other and didn't look like someone the other would date, but people just assume that when a guy and a girl are together, you know...

[miffy495]

A drunk man once stopped my best friend and I while we were walking down the street to tell her that she was "a lucky woman" because (pointing at me) "that right there? That's a pussy-eatin' jaw!" While years later it makes for a funny story, the question remains: what the fucking fuck is wrong with people?

Semantic satiation. Love that the experience has a term.
