I Had A Random Thought...

[SecretAsianMan]

I love how the movie ends, with the magical flying car.  If you haven't seen Grease, that was a spoiler so don't read that previous sentence.

[Twig]

Damnit SAM I was going to watch it tonight. Jerk.

[tegan]

I think the best/worst thing about Grease is the pregnancy subplot that literally goes nowhere.

 

 

Also, last night I played a Pokémon TCG round against the AI and I'm pretty sure it bugged out. It started investing all of its resources into one card for no reason. Here you can see it putting nine energy cards on a Prinplup.

Has anyone played Tony Hawk's Pro-Dater? I've been thinking about it all day off and on. Nothing substantial, just thinking about it and getting slight elations.

[Bjorn]

I just played through it, as this screenshot pretty much sold me instantly:

 

[SuperBiasedMan]

Oh wow I thought that was a joke mistype of the game title. I must find this game, I need more dating sim nonsense in my life.

 

Also is there a thread where people can request others thoughts on a game? eg. "Has anyone played Ether One?"

If there isn't, there should be.

[SuperBiasedMan]

I can't find one, so I'm just going to make it and it can be stopped if there's one I missed.

For the last couple hours, I've been smelling what I think is sourdough bread and it has been quite pleasant. But I'm just now starting to realize that it might actually just be some sour smelling rotten shit in the trash. I'm not sure if I should keep enjoying the smell and just tell myself if it is sourdough bread or if I should be totally grossed out. A part of me wants to solve this mystery and another part of me wants to remain ignorant.

[Dewar]

Ignorance is always the answer.

[miffy495]

Just eat it and report back. Was it bread?

 

EDIT: Starting a new page with telling someone to eat shit! A new personal best!

[Zeusthecat]

I don't think it was bread after all. But I did eat some sourdough toast for dinner last night.

Let's take turns doing elevator pitches for the internet. 

After you've given yours, provide the person or scenario in which the next person must pitch the internet.

I will, of course, provide the first mark:

 

After convincing yourself to ride go to a faire that has set up a few giant robots in a Wal-Mart parking-lot. You find yourself finally getting on the ferris-wheel. Across from you is a young couple who may not even know that they are a couple yet. After some small chat, you discover that they have somehow never heard of the "internet". Explain to them in a few sentences what the internet is.

[Justin Leego]

You get to have all the fun with that setup.

[dibs]

"Want to put your sex tape somewhere that strangers can watch it? I know of just such a magical place".

[Bjorn]

"Hey kids, so  you've never heard of Lemon Party?"

[clyde]

It's interesting to me that in both descriptions there seems to be an implication that the internet is where one finds their own limits.

Since no one put up another scenario, I will:

The last remaining elephant on earth has been given the ability to speak through much public concern and technologies difficult for us to fathom. She has settled into regular human-adult life as much as a last-of-the-pachiderms whose ability of speech is dependendent on an external device. The fame of her plight has long died down and people rarely recognize her on the street anymore. She was so busy with catching up with social-cues and inter-personal relationship capacity, that she somehow has never heard of the "internet". That is, until a random encounter with you in the Dulles airport. She asks you what the internet is.

Edit: I just assumed that "Lemon Party" is NSFW. Now I realize it might be a band.

"Do you want to be told you're an idiot by people with a deeply vested interest in things that are extremely obscure which they've raised to clinically disturbing fetish, but also seem to lack a lot of basic, core education? Then I have the opt in harassment tool for you!"

Lemon Party is not safe for...anything.  Bad old joke porn site we used to use to introduce people to the Internet.

I changed the alarm tone on the medical device we are developing to the mexican hat dance. Probably not up to standard, but very jaunty.

There was a below-par korean drama where a pop-song was playing when dude was getting open-heart surgery. Years later, when he encounters the singer (who he can't stand), his heart palpitates every time he hears the song which she uses as her ring-tone. Ultimately, there was little to no chemistry between the actors. 

[Griddlelol]

I'm sure there is, or was a band called Lemon Party playing in a garage at some point though.

I hope they're all girls and their stage is a tub.

I hate small talk and the small pleasantries I'm forced to engage in at any social setting.  I say hi to people if I have to but I never use greetings that are questions like "how's it going?" because when I am asked that question, I feel compelled to honestly answer even though I know most of the time people just want to hear "Good, how are you" so they can reply in kind.  If I do ask the question, I actually want to know how the other person is doing.  I also dislike holding doors open unless the other person is directly behind me and can move through the door immediately (not counting special circumstances such as a person carrying a load with no free hands).  When someone is moving toward me, instead of that awkward dance where both people try to move around each other but both step in the same direction several times before they figure it out, I usually just keep going forward or stand still and let them move around me.  In conversations where someone else talks at the same time as me, I usually finish my thought (unless it's long or not particularly relevant) then let them talk instead of both people excusing each other and trying to let the other person go first.

 

I'm afraid that all of these things make me seem rude but really I'm just trying to cut out what I perceive as inefficient, mostly pointless fluff.  Maybe that does make me rude, I don't know.

How are you?
