Random Thoughts

I'm creating this thread for random thoughts that occur to you out of nowhere. Stuff that doesn't deserve a diary entry or discussion with somebody. I just think it would be interesting to collect the flotsam that comes from all y'all. :)
My random thought of the moment: I'm glad my fingers aren't stubby.
I wonder ... my dad sometimes used to exclaim "horses ass!!" when he was upset.
my mom always said "for PITY's sake!" I'm still working that one out. ~J~
Wait....I thought my high school physics teacher said that the speed of light was, like, the "universal speed limit"...like it was impossible to go faster than that......?
I actually used this on my physics teacher in high school.� My hypothesis is that there would be an "optic boom," similar to the sonic boom created by the breaking of the sound "barrier." I ended up as his teacher's assistant and 107% in the class.
So you are glad you aren't Lisa Simpson :-)
Pretty much, yeah. It's just...I hate my body so much. But...I look at my fingers and I find myself grateful that they are relatively long and tapered. :)
Yeah! Those little itsy bitsy ones aren't fun! And they made them smaller since I was a kid! Have you seen some of the yogurt containers lately? There is something that they cut back on. Smaller containers, less amount of yogurt...same price. They do it so gradually that most don't notice. My dad watches since he's the shopper and he watches the weight on some of the products we buy. That was one along with cereal being the other.
How many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop? and don't you dare say 3. there will be much murder and mayhem if such is spoken.
wow.
tootsie pops are a round lollipop. they have a crunchy outside and a fudgy inside. there was a whole run of commerials with an owl, featuring the line "ho wmany licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?" the owl would take three licks and then crunch through and state "three" that's about it ;D
i think we just call them something else over here....they are quite hard to getbhold of also but I had one while I watched x-men2 it was provided by a guy from arizona he found a place to get them in my lovely city I will have to find that place and eat more!
Yep. Because you're not really refusing to feel. You're just postponing it until all the feelings gang up on you and make themselves known.
she may have been a whore, but she's not an incestuous one; smurfette was created by gargamel as an -eeeeeevil- smurfette to try to get her to trick the smurfs so he'd get to know where the smurf village was. then she turned good, her hair went blnode, and she became one of them forevermore.
so any shagging done between the smurfs and smurfette wasn't -technically- incest....not the same genes... yes, i know too much useless trivia.... then she turned good, her hair went blonde SO - according to the smurf mythology of hair care - blondes are goodygoody and brunettes are evil? So, with my brown hair I can be considered Good 'N' Evil . What would I have to do if I were to become a redhead?
What would I have to do if I were to become a redhead?
anyone you want. -clearly- like, hi!!!! ;P i mean, the redhead smurf child later was called 'sassette' for a reason ;) and furthermore......ok....the smurf 'children' happened later....and baby smurf.....but, like...-who- were his parents?? it was never discussed.....and he, like, never -grew-...he was, like always a baby...... things like this are a puzzlement....
so tonight ab and i rented 'donnie darko'...and in the one scene when his little geek-dood friends were talking about papa smurf creating smurfette so all of the smurfs could *ahem* 'get some', i was JUST about to spout out 'but gargamel created smurfette....".......and then donnie darko did.
heh. and it made me think of this thread. so i thought i'd come home and post immediately ;) Why was there only one girl on the Smurfs? Where were the rest of the female smurfs?
As the folklore goes, Smurfette was created by Gargamel to lure the Smurfs to him so that he could make gold bars out of them. I believe there was another female smurf that he created that had red hair, but I can't remember her name.
I don't think there was a back-story with the Smurflings. It was also the point when the Smurfs jumped the shark.
I think there was a backstory. Something about them having been old and somehow got turned into kids, or were frozen somewhere and were from long ago. I forget the precise plot but I think there was something mystical or historical about them.
I've seen that on sitcoms. "this is how men imitate women" and it's all quite funny. And now I can't get the image of Kryten imitating Cochanski out of my head.
Now would that be a big mountain of fudge cake, or a mountain fudge cake that's big, or a fudge cake from big mountain.....? :)
I hear the knight rider theme every day when one show paul watches (xfiles I think) ends on scifi and KR begins. And I think every time...it's a pretty groovy theme. The driving beat...the bom-BOMPs every once in a while. :)
X-files from 4-5 Knight Rider from 5-6 Knight Rider note: I hate the season where they got that other girl. I missed Bonnie the whole season. Then the season after that, they brought Bonnie back.
I can't even remember the TJ Hooker theme tune. Ack! Brain leakage!

Why is it that I can't ever find Cinnaburst gum anymore? That is like the best gum ever! Did they get rid of it? Why can't I find a lilac floppy chefs hat? I've wanted one of those since I was 15, that's 7 years!!! 7 long years I've wanted a lilac floppy chefs hat, and I still haven't found one. Bastard. My dentist will tells me that pop/soda or anything acidic will promote cavities. He's on my case about my pop content. I have since cut down. Now it's the "cut down on candies like peppermints, cough drops etc." *sigh* You can't win. :( I can't chew sugarless gum. :\ in the black family - a little smaller than Calamata olives, from the Lebanese restaurant. olives, pickles, capers...all of them are soooooo tasty. I love being adventurous and trying all different kinds of pickled veggies. And my great aunt makes fantastic pickled salmon. Of course, she lives in Nova Scotia, so the starting materials are pretty darn excellent. I just realized that your avatar thingie is the dude from the movie The Point. I coulda sworn I was the only one that had ever seen that movie. Good movie too. --Rachel

Just keep asking me the same questions over and over 'cause I might somehow magically get the answer. "Who called?" "I don't know" "Was it Tony?" "I don't know" "Did he tell you his name?" "... umm.. no...." "Was it Marty?" "I DO NOT KNOW WHO CALLED" "oh. okay. sorry" "Don't worry about it" "You think it might have been Ryan?" "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU NOW!!!"

# i spend far too much of my life worrying about dying.
# when i die, will i spend all my dead time worrying about life? heh. that's like the Beth Amsel quote:
My answering machine says "I'm not home right now, but leave a message and I'll call you when I get back." Should my cell phone voice mail have a message that says "I'm home now, but leave a message and I'll call you when I go out?"

I wonder if it makes you a loser to watch a movie, not because you're interested in the movie, but because you're madly in lust with someone acting in it. For instance, Eddie and the Crusiers 2. I recieved that yesterday, bought it only because of my unhealthy lustful obsesstion with Dave Matheson. I fell asleep during the first 30 minutes of the film, and woke up the scene before they find Dave.. err.. Stewart, playing piano. It was not a very interesting movie. In it's defense, it might have helped if I'd seen Eddie and the Crusiers 1. how about "human" or even "marathon" ? I used to be part of a Space themed chatroom dealy and I remember on one guy's profile his race was listed as "to the pub and back. back takes much longer"

Something I realized lately, is I'm less willing to take risks. Not like all risks, but things like slip and slides, I used to love to play on the slip and slide when I was little, but now I'm so concious of everything that could happen, and some things that probably wouldn't ever happen, and the tippy boat, The tippy boat was great, I had lots of fun falling out of it with friends back in H.S. but I can't see myself doing that anymore. That sucks.
You get that feeling DEEP in the pit of your stomach whenever you see a montrosity of a roller coaster? i thought I was the only one!
Nope. I do! I don't ride them at all! I can't stand the drops but I like the loops. Like "Superman" at Darien Lake. It's like "Holy [bleep] who the [bleep] rides that thing!?" That's me. :)

I wonder if there are any little kids who contemplate that if Santa can travel the whole WORLD in 24 hours, then what other magical powers does he have and why doesn't he fight crime the rest of the year?

sometimes certain words are just fun to say. :)
I don't know that I need a reduction so much as a...hoist. :) I need perk, dammit! I'm too young to be so far gone! :)
I hate mine since I've gained weight. Now I have them when before I didn't. I liked that i didn't. :\ the whole song pretty much goes like this: o/~ do you like boobs a lot....boobs a lot boobs a lot...really like boobs a lot...etc o/~ then o/~ do you wear your jock a lot...got to wear your jock a lot...o/~ another one of those songs they used to play at 5pm on a local radio station and I think Dr. Demento played it. hmm.. nope I can say for sure I have never heard it. Number 1 in 1972 or 1973 I believe. I saw him in concert in 1990 - it was an awesome show. :D

Never had Green River Soda...Though I *heart* Doc Brown's Cel-Ray! Yummy.
Wow, I just saw that episode last night. 1 out of 200, who knew?

I hate it when you wake up, and someone starts talking to immediatly. Not like when someone calls you and wakes you up, but when it's early in the morning. I'm a fairly sleepy person and I need some time to get woken up enough to comprehend anything that's being said. I don't need a long time, just like 20-30 minutes. It's so easy to not talk for 20-30 minutes. *sigh*

I'm lucky? In my apartment there is a lock on my bedroom doorso I just potter around inside my rrom until I feel ready to talk and as I refuse to share my room with anybody it works out fine! Someone stole the internal lock from my friends room though and put up notices saying they liked his naked body but I guess that is his own fault for undressing in front of the window. Quite creepy though.

Why doesn't anyone ever eat in the dining room anymore? My family always ate in the dining room. Even if we weren't like eating together, like at breakfast or something, we'd get our cereal, or toast, and sit at the table and eat. Was that also something that only my family did?
Well.. we'd eat at the kitchen table... not the dining room.
The dining room was just for "formal" stuff. But yeah... maybe it's my age group, but very few people I know even HAVE tables... let alone use them. I know that when I make food.. even if I have people over... we usually eat standing around the kitchen or in the living room on the couch. I was thinking that, about the tables, because we've got one, but it's covered with toys and stuff. I'm always like, "why don't you get a toybox, so we can eat here?" which is usually gets the answer "Why eat there, we've got tea tables in the front room." Argh... I have a table, and I use it frequently when I'm eating at home. The only time I don't use it is for weekend breakfast. Growing up, we ate at the dining room table every day for dinner. I don't understand people who don't use the dining rooms and furniture they have.

...how we have a few more forum threads to choose from on the front screen of FHDC. :)
The word "chutney" freaks me out too much to even try any.
Grits are kind of like polenta. You take cornmeal and cook it in water and add some milk, butter, salt, cheese, or some combination thereof.I think. But don't quote me, I'm from the north.

ok...though i have one, too, i don't quite grasp the concept of an online 'diary'....
like, ok...isn't a diary something that you keep yourself and -no one- is supposed to read it? or, like if you find that a friend or a sibling has actually daned to read yours, you get �ber-pissed and have a fit and then shun them??!! so, like, why -do- we post them on the world wide web where EVERYONE can see? like....shouldn't it be named something more newsy...like i consider it more of a column coz i know that people read it. just my o/' ob-ser-va-tion o/' Yes! When I first heard of online diaries I really couldn't see the point, I didn't think that all these people could be so concerned about their hard drives crashing that they would post to someone else's server. It was with some trepidation that I started reading some of my friends diaries. It felt so wrong. Not helped by those friends who post very raw personal stuff. But I got over it, well mostly. Even now, Robin still sometimes posts stuff about us that makes me cringe, mostly because I know my mother-in-law might read it. As for what else to call it; I think live-journal is the best descriptive name you can hope to come up with, much better than blogging. Too bad its a brand name. Oh, except it doesn't describe my diary well. Mine is more like dead-journal. Seems I spend way to much time in forums...
I see what you're saying. But I know that even when writing in my personal diaries or notebooks, it's always with the thought that someone might read it, and sometimes even hoping someone will. So to me it's just like writing in a regular diary, except people make notes.. actually people make notes in my regular diary too. Hmm..� Guess I'm too open about myself to have a 'regular' diary.� My thing is I would like people to know who I really am,� like when no one else is around, and an online diary can do that as long as I'm totally honest in it. Anyhow. Something.

During my bad-ass moments I keep misquoting the line "You'll be picking up your teeth with broken fingers." What I keep saying, is "You'll be picking up broken fingers with your teeth!"� I like the misquote better..� Anyhow, anyone know where that is from? I don't remember.

I wish that, at the bottom of the page (near "Ecoutez!" perhaps) there was a nifty little "back to top" link.� Some of these forums are LONG On our trip, we were eating at A&W, and Rod's looking at the "burger famliy" posters and says to me... "You know Mamma burger is the same as pappa burger!.....(pause)...but with a different face." I thought about that for a long time...then laughed so hard! (by this time we had been up about 20 hours, and everything is either strange or SOOOOOOOO funny! it's a running gag now! ~J~

The thing that I hate about dairy free frozen deserts, like tofutti, is that they're made for people who don't eat tofu, products, soy cheese, drink soy milk, etc.� So you go out and buy.. say... some tofutti cutie's, and they're�very sweet.. f***ers! I wonder if there is another company that actually makes these kinds of things for people like me, who not only don't drink milk and eat 'real' icecream, but also don't like things sweetend much.
Yeh, I wasn't big on the sugar thing as a kid. Not because I didn't want to be, but because my mom rarely let us eat things with sugar.� After school snack was always apple or banana, I remember one day getting a real treat of banana chips!! Weeeeeeeeww!! We were crrrraaazy like that!
I realized I'd become an adult the day I impatiently waited for The Price Is Right to end, so I could watch the news.
I don't know but i know someone who made his gearbox fall out of his car by breaking too hard and messing about so watch out that you don't hurt yourself.
I know my car horn works, because I use it all the time! For a while I had the really bad habit of when my husband was driving I would reach over and blow the horn if someone was being and idiot. Now I just yell at him to do it. Using the horn is an art. There's the short tap, which means "you got a little out of line, but it's cool I just wanted you to know," the middle-long which is "Hey, you're an idiot! Learn how to drive" and the long leaning-on-the-horn which means "Wake up and get off you're cell phone, you nearly killed me! That was the stupidest move I've ever seen and where is a cop when you need one?"
I always feel like I'm being an ass when I honk the horn.. well, if I ever honked the horn I think I might feel like an ass when I do.�� I should honk at people, just for the hell of it, I always think they might be having a really bad day, and my honking at them is going to push them over the edge and they'll kill themselves or someone else, or me..�
I always think they might be having a really bad day, and my honking at them is going to push them over the edge and they'll kill themselves or someone else, or me..� I always think that, after the fact. Like "one of these days someone is just going to shoot me!" Then I forget about it until the next time.

Have you seen the commercial that calls Kenny G the greatest instrumentalist in history? How scary is that?

Who decided that Ren & Stimpy would appeal specifically to men?� I mean, sure it probably has a audience that probably leans more male, but what the heck is up with these network programming people?� Now Stripperlla, on the other hand, makes more sense to target it to a male audience.� Oh well.� I need to stop watching commericials.
I'm sure they checked out the demographics and found that the audience was predominantly male. The only show I watch on soon to be Spike is Highlander.
I like Spike Lee but that suit is ridiculous, he doesn't own the name and no one would have any reason to think he was involved with the network
Well he is a MAN. And if the commercials are to be believed it is a MEN's network now. Therefore he is involved with the network. Geez, the link is plain to see. :)
Of course it's so clear now. It must be that testosterone poisoning that blinded me to it.
