What you don't like a side order of healthy breakfast?

Do they still make that?

I haven't seen it here in ages.

My grandfather used to eat it.

He died

You do the math.

What you don't like a side order of healthy breakfast?
Heh. I have some of that right here at my desk. I eat it without milk. Cracklin' Oat Bran is teh awesome.

I'm talking about cracklin'.

You do the math.
1/2 cup contains about a quarter of recommended daily fiber. At least he wasn't backed up.

[Mac Danny]

1/2 cup contains about a quarter of recommended daily fiber. At least he wasn't backed up.

Nothing like quality pooper time.

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

Later all.

I may take a break for awhile . . . sayonara.

See you, Winslow!

You know when talking to people that I would think you call friends, sometimes you guys are downright assholes.

Hey, we keed because we love! Don't take it so seriously, man. It's just little pixels on a screen.

[jessecuster3]

Has nothing to do with how you treat me, I could care less about that.


I was not referring to anything in Rita's.

[Spike-X]

Yeah, I know I've already posted this.

And keep on posting it, buddy!

[Lone Ranger]

What is wrong me with me?

That's gif of J.Conn riding a horse and all I keep thinking is:

"Where the hell is aisle 4?"

[Lone Ranger]

Just read some threads it makes sense.

I'm striking that directive for vagueness.

Can you be a bit more specific?

[Dom]

What is wrong me with me?

That's gif of J.Conn riding a horse and all I keep thinking is:

"Where the hell is aisle 4?"

On the other side of aisle 3?

[Tadhg]

On the other side of aisle 3?

I SEE 3! I SEE 5! THERE IS NO FOUR!

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

Has nothing to do with how you treat me, I could care less about that.


I was not referring to anything in Rita's.

Yeah, I think I see what you mean now.

To be honest, anyone who expected anything different out of that thread was barking up the other shoe. Or something.

What is wrong me with me?

That's gif of J.Conn riding a horse and all I keep thinking is:

"Where the hell is aisle 4?"

Yes, what is wrong with you?

[moebius]

It's one of those stores where 4 is further down the ailse. So one side is 1,3,5 and the other is 2,4,6.

[Dreadstar]

It's not aisles. It's registers. And they're stacked.



...waitaminute, did I say "stacked"?


I meant they're set up in pairs, two to a line.


. . .



nevermind.

[Lone Ranger]

It's one of those stores where 4 is further down the ailse. So one side is 1,3,5 and the other is 2,4,6.

Whoa.

Far out.

That all makes sense now.

Back to boobies.

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

It's one of those stores where 4 is further down the ailse. So one side is 1,3,5 and the other is 2,4,6.

Stop enabling their nerdidity!

[Dom]

I SEE 3! I SEE 5! THERE IS NO FOUR!


There is no spoon.

[darkhanamaru]

since you guys are all talking about boobies, can i talk about balls? i mean we have a pairs thing going

[Michael P]

There is no spoon.

There! Are! Four! Lights!

[jessecuster3]

since you guys are all talking about boobies, can i talk about balls? i mean we have a pairs thing going

Sorry balls are not to be talked about, they are to be rubbed.

[Tadhg]

There! Are! Four! Lights!

I love how you're able to always raise the nerd bar one level higher.

[Dom]

There! Are! Four! Lights!

THE NEW PHONEBOOKS ARE HERE!!!

[Lone Ranger]

since you guys are all talking about boobies, can i talk about balls? i mean we have a pairs thing going

Sure - but it's hard to find a CBR-friendly GIF of balls riding a horse in an empty supermarket.

[Michael P]

I love how you're able to always raise the nerd bar one level higher.

It's a gift.

Basically the crunchy rind that develops when roasting a joint of pork. This one came from a whole leg and was nice and salty and spicy from the dry rub. Tasty!

those aren't aisle numbers... they're cashier numbers

[Chris Nowlin]

There! Are! Four! Lights!

No, there are 5 lights.

[Chris Nowlin]

I think I'm a bad person.

I don't actually like my union. I think our working conditions are great and our salaries are fair, yet they always seem to want us to strike.

That said, I don't like confrontation, so I tend to sign what they put in front of me to make them go away

[Gladiaria_Alata]

HA ha! Already ate it.

My sister likes crackling.

[Tadhg]

That's because Professionals shouldn't be unionized.

I didn't think professionals could be unionised.

Ooh. If you're in the NEA, they'll hate you for life for crossing the lines.

Ew. I was right.

I grew up on a pig farm, and even I think that's disgusting.

[Chris Nowlin]

Ooh. If you're in the NEA, they'll hate you for life for crossing the lines.

I think there's actually been a strike in the time I've been here. I don't know anybody who actually didn't work.

We're in the Auto-worker's union for some reason

[Puma]

You know when talking to people that I would think you call friends, sometimes you guys are downright assholes.

I knew going into that thread that it would devolve into the usual (G)od v. (G)odless debate quickly but I was hopeful we could've discussed the original topic a bit longer than we did. I tend to not involve myself in the threads were personal beliefs are discussed because (1) I'm secure enough in my beliefs to not need reassurance, (2) I'm secure enough in my beliefs to not need to proselytize, and (3) I know my beliefs will get an equal negative reaction by some members of the community.
I do find it interesting though, and this is not an attack, but wasn't it yesterday you were going off about a fried chicken merchant not being open on Sundays as shoving his religion on you?

the fried fat, right?


off to conduct the second interview of the day.

[Matt Algren]

Shouldn't there be a rule that moderators can't be assholes? Either that, or I should be able to put one on ignore. I'm not talking about on their own board, I'm talking about when they venture out into the rest of the site and start being assholes.

Daily.

I should be able to put that moderator on ignore.

Ya, like that can happen.

[Matt Algren]

Sorry. I'll try to be nicer.
I said a moderator, not a sycophant.

[thespianphryne]

the fried fat, right?

Yes. I also, disgustingly enough, really like the skin from roast chicken or turkey. This is the same reason I like roast goose or Peking duck or bacon. Crunchy, juicy, fat.


-Das

[Alex]

Sorry. I'll try to be nicer.

My god, i would love to know who he is talking about.

[Tadhg]

I said a moderator, not a sycophant.

I forgot that they stripped me of my modship when I was the most edited poster on my board.

[Tadhg]

Yes. I also, disgustingly enough, really like the skin from roast chicken or turkey. This is the same reason I like roast goose or Peking duck or bacon. Crunchy, juicy, fat.

I'm starving now.

And because you refused to put the lotion on your skin and put it in the basket.

[Alex]

I told it to do as it was told.

[Paul McEnery]

*grins at McEnery*

I smell blackmail material.

My man boobs do not come in pairs.
My old man bollocks dangle.
I keep them in my underwears
Because my penis no longer achieves the desired angle.

[Paul McEnery]

They might notice that they could just read a book.

That was in here, I think the rules are different once you step out of here, don't you?


Plus, I never insulted the religion, I insulted the proselytizing.

I just read that thread.

And I could predict every single thing that happened.

Yes, but you're a deity.

This is true.

Hmmmn, who should I be the avatar of today? Kali? Apollo?

What about Hopitiflopiti, the god of carrots?

Ten-foot pole. Wouldn't touch it.

[Ta2grrl]

I find that rudy rucker site interesting Paul...

The way he intermittenly throws a picture in amongst his scientific banter...

Seems odd...

XXX

[jessecuster3]

What about Hopitiflopiti, the god of carrots?

When did you see the shrine up at my house?




Well maybe not a shrine, more of a stuffed animal on the bed.

Nah, I'm ducking him.

His wife has a screenplay.

That's what he's like: odd.

The funny thing is, he totally had a reputation for arrogance, back in the day. The cyberpunk who pissed on everyone's cornflakes. What I didn't know then was that he actually knew them all personally, so he was allowed. And that he was a monster freak. And a really nice man.

[Paul McEnery]

I've told you before about stuffing your animals with carrots.

Use your willy, like a real man.

[Tages]

I've typed up three responses so far and each one collapsed into a fit of exasperation.

[Joe Rice]

I've come to appreciate JWK's views on the topic of the gospel and religion. I agree with them in the latter case and clearly not the former; but eventually I realized he doesn't disdain my view any more than I disdain his, so there's no one to villify. If that makes any sense.

Having never read any of his work...would you say he is akin to a horribly intelligent Douglas Adams...??

Ok what I really meant was dressing my girlfriend up like a rabbit and then stuffing her with my carrot.

But doesn't he just say the same thing over and over again...which would suggest you appreciated his views from the start...?? I guess I fail to see how his views could grow on you when they never change...

do you let her oil your transformer?

[Paul McEnery]

I've typed up three responses so far and each one collapsed into a fit of exasperation.

Try writing a poem and a fairy story, and drop a few inexplicable mind bombs and then refuse to explain them.

It's been working for me so far. Mostly.

I don't mind the attitude. I used to, but not anymore.

What bothers me now is when someone gets a reply that challenges his position and his only response is to blink and repeat himself.

[Joe Rice]

Fair enough...

It also helps that sometimes there's someone else to show up and be a worse asshole about it than Jeff, and do it much more unintelligently as well.

[jessecuster3]

Less that his views have grown on me and more than I've seen I look down my nose just as much. Let he who is without sin and all that.

But joe honestly, the difference is you single someone out when you do it, where as JWK insults every Judeo/Christian/follower of any faith on CBR with his "rants".

[Ray R.]

That's quite the caveat, Joe. :D

I recommend starting with Frek and the Elixir. Half the fun is imagining that he really and truly thought it would fly as a children's book.

[jessecuster3]

heh, my boss is having relationship problems and slept in a hotel the other night. So I said if you have to do it again, you are welcome at my house, provided of course, that she snuggle with a Transformer.

Hmm. You probably still take "Oasis are a lump of poo" as a personal insult, though.

I really, really, really, really, really hate the drive home from work. So much so that I put it off for two or so hours every night.

[Ta2grrl]

I don't think I've seen him directly insult any particular person.

He has stated he thinks religion is silly and dumb. In fact, he states it multiple times in every thread.

But I've never seen a direct insult.

Hey Paul,

I'm going to assume you've read them since you're old and can't do anything else; how're Thirteen and Spook Country?

[Guapo Méndez]

It's gonna be a fun weeked. Around monday we'll find out if Hurricane Dean will hit or miss us.

[Paul McEnery]

They don't call it Jewish girth for nothin', babe.

No, they charge 300 bucks.

And they don''t stay the night for that, neither.

[Ed Cunard]

I don't think so, I never see Ed do that.

Let's face it, J--I'm just more of a man than you are.

[Paul McEnery]

Hey Paul,

I'm going to assume you've read them since you're old and can't do anything else; how're Thirteen and Spook Country?

I know not of this "Thirteen".

And I only read Pattern Recognition because some guy was trying to get in my onagainoffagain's pants, and gave her a signed copy, so I read it and rubbished it.

It's sad. Bill's a great guy, but his writing days are well behind him.

[Puma]

That was in here, I think the rules are different once you step out of here, don't you?

Thirteen is by Richard K. Morgan. The guy that wrote Altered Carbon. Totally overrated, with bad prose but he's really popular with you old folks.

Oh, him.

Someone gave me a book by him because I'd really really like it because I'm into that kind of stuff. When they die, I will be allowed to sell it.

[Tadhg]

Oh, him.

Hah, pull this leg and it'll play jingle bells.

I thought that was the finger?

Pull his finger and you get the 1812 overture.

See, that's a fucking scary thing to me:

What happens if I do get over myself, I turn out to be really good and create something great, but I have to face the day when my talent's run dry?

It's like that line in Ebert's review of Ask the Dust (wonderful book, terrible movie):

I enjoyed and admired the film without being grabbed or shaken by it. Where can such a story lead? I have been lucky enough to know a great writer in his shabby apartment, with his typewriter, his bottle and his cigarettes, and I know he had a famous romance, and that later he hated the woman, and having achieved all possible success was perhaps not as happy as when it was still before him.

What do you have to pull to get Ride of the Valkyries?

Half a dozen nordic broads.

And excuse me, but what in the world is wrong with Richard K. Morgan?

[Paul McEnery]

What happens if I do get over myself, I turn out to be really good and create something great, but I have to face the day when my talent's run dry?

And then get your booze cut off too?

I'll tell you one of these days.

[Paul McEnery]

And excuse me, but what in the world is wrong with Richard K. Morgan?

Aside from his completely shite prose, bog standard plot, and derivative ideas done dumb?

Oh, nothing.

No, tell me now!

Also, you technically still need to finish that magnum opus and open the gate to Pleroma.

Very true - I'd like to be able to praise Enemy Ace and skewer Team America in the same conversation.
You make Wolf cry manly tears into his muttonchops.

I resent that that guy is being such a douchebag. C'mon. "I am the only person on Earth who has every made fun of comics! Bow before me!" Puh-lease.
http://www.angrylambie.com/images/favorite%20art/superduperman%20thumb.jpg

Someone recommended that series to me a few years ago. Maybe I should give it a try.
It's very young adult oriented, but there's some neat stuff in it. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed by the fifth and last book.

Is the Stardust trade worth buying?
Yup.

Ice cream?
I used tranquilizers.
You crush the tranquilizers up in the ice cream. Duh!

Question. How is it best to deal with passive-aggressiveness in the workplace? I'd assume out-and-out confrontation would only exacerbate it.
The solu...

To quote the philosopher Pol Rua, the answer, of course, is fire.
Damn you, Hrpuffnstufaluphagus!!!

Isn't he the douchebag that used to send long homophobic letters to comics like Zot! back in the day?
Yup. I remember him well.

Yeah, I know I've already posted this.

He's just wrong about Richard K. Morgan, Cormac McCarthy, Daniel Clowes, history, economics and Reno, Nevada.

Chelsea v. Reading and the first half of Bolton v. Fulham. I'll watch the second half tonight.

There are moments of sentimentality in places which hearken more back to Chandler than Hammett.

My destination is a 40 minute train ride from the Bus station. I'm not walking.

In addition, there are limitations on where one can travel on Shabbat. For example, one is not allowed to walk "outside the "borders of the community'. Bit hard to define in this day and age.

Bah.. I give up... I think my muffins are over cooked.. I didn't hear the timer go off.. I think it's been 20 minutes... I think I made it in time.. Some look kinda burnt and crusty...

Because muffins are yumbie.
And because burned bits can be scraped off.

Looks like I made muffin tops because the bottoms are burnt to the pan that I pre-greased.

The muffins have rings... over-baked, baked, and kinda sorta baked when you look at the rings.

bah.

Outta the blue question: anyone here seen season 2 of Life on Mars? Cause I just finished watching the first series, which I liked but it seemed as if the story had kind of reached its conclusion in a way, even though he was still in 1973 at the end. Is the 2nd one worth watching?

[Athena Bast]

These are more like hollowed out muffins. I think it's more worth it to just eat the left over batter than the muffins.

Because women have to actively work at avoiding you, which burns calories.

You can never avoid you, meaning you are not burning calories.

So when I went to the cornerstore today... as I was leaving someone put a flyer in the front security door to keep the lock from shutting. I took it out and threw the flyer in the trash.

Not 5 minutes later do I come back to another flyer stuck in the door to keep it from locking. I took that one out and put it in the trash.

Ya know... we didn't have any of the security issues we have now before all the white trash moved in.
