I Had A Random Thought...

Recommended Posts

So I'm in a hotel in Tucson watching the Mexican version of The Voice on Telemundo. I don't know why but I can't stop laughing. Also, I don't know any Spanish even though I grew up in Arizona.

Has anyone ever heard a decent Chewbacca impression? Is it even possible for a human to make those sounds properly?

I can do a chillingly authentic version of Chewbacca.

 

OK, I just roll around an R in my throat.

In the past month I realized you can use tweezers to actually landscape your body like a garden.  It's occaisonally really painful though, and apparently they'll just grow back even pulling out the follicle every time.  It's especially difficult and painful to try and get the hair around your fun parts, but I still feel a lot better having started doing this.

Ouch. Tweezers are for splinters. Period.

The year was 2003. I had just graduated high school and moved out of my mom's. I was going to get a sweet tattoo but changed my mind at the last minute and got a cat from the animal shelter instead. I brought him home and decided to name him God. Then I realized that would needlessly offend almost anyone who stepped foot in my apartment so I changed his name to Zeus (a way cooler god with better powers). Had I stuck with his original name I would have probably gone with Godthecat for my username. I kind of regret changing my mind.

Never did get that tattoo and for some reason nobody was offended by my blasphemy against Zeus. Socrates would have been proud of my lack of piety.

An increasing number of forum threads are getting blocked by the web filter at work (the most recent being the Nextbox 1080 thread during the reveal).  I will soon no longer be able to procrastinate at work by reading the Idle Forums.  The strange thing is, they're not getting blocked because they're related to games, but because of "adult content".  Either our web filter is reading a lot more into the subtext than I am, or I'm missing a lot of innuendo.

Maybe it's qualified as nerd porn?

If you have the option, try each browser. I found that a good number of forum threads were blocked when I used Firefox. Switched to Chrome and haven't had any problems yet.

My work browser of choice is IE7, but I'm thinking about trying IE7, or maybe IE7.  And of course, there's always IE7.

Yeah, if IE7 doesn't work IE7 does sound like a good choice.

 

We found that if we renamed "chrome.exe" to "chrame.exe" we could run the Chrome browser at work and IT wouldn't catch it. "Firefox.exe" was also renamed to "Firefax.exe".

I wonder how widespread OKC is, I assumed it was a pretty small userbase but people on these forums even mentioned having an account.  I've used it as well but not for very long.  I'm also curious how many people listen to sex-educational podcasts, seems like both of these things are growing, at least in America.

Given the subject of the rest of your post, it seems relevant to point out that my parents got a cat last year named Socrates. Because he is dumb, large, and bounces off things a lot, I have gradually been seeding the nickname Soccer Ball.

Messing around with cat names is great. Over the years the nicknames I have used have morphed so far from the original name. For example, I usually refer to Zeus as Purroo. I started with Zeus, then Zeusis Caroosis, then Zeusis Caroosis Ganoosis Alafoosis. Then I realized I was just being fucking stupid and started calling him Carou. Then at one point Carou became Peru because it rhymed and was the name of a country. Then I was trying to think of a name for a Rock Band character and was forced to formalize the spelling to "Purroo" (seemed like the best cat spelling). Now I usually refer to him as DickFace too.

 

Our other cat is named Pima. It's an acronym for Pain In My Ass but is also the name of the county I grew up in in southern Arizona. Her nickname is currently at Meemis.

The fact that they keep making these movies makes me think this already happened.

Where have all the cowboys gone? Did they die off due to lack of genetic diversity? Do they just wear the same clothes as the rest of us? Does someone automatically become a cowboy by putting on a cowboy hat and/or cowboy boots? Are cowboys like towel boys but for cows? Are you only a cowboy if you end up with emphysema at some point in your life? Are any country music stars actually cowboys or is the cowboy hat still just a mandatory thing for them?

I fucking hate cowboys. Unless there are cowboys on these forums then I guess cowboys are okay.

Country music stars might own a ranch, but even if they had livestock they'd be gentlemen farmers not cowboys, because they're not doing the ground-level work themselves.  I worked on a farm in Kentucky and taking care of cows was one of my duties, so I guess I'm an ex-cowboy, in which case all the cowboys became bi and moved into cities.  I think everyone would agree this is the best use of cowboys.

 

I've been watching the daily news show the PDF which, and maybe this reflects poorly on me, is pretty much my only consistent link to world events.  Lately I've been thinking about finding an additional news source, but everything I've seen is ridiculously dragged out so a bunch of ads can be played.

My hometown is infested with them. It's the worst.
