One of the people I work with today finally managed to cement herself as the worst human being I have ever known when she said she wished Jimmy Carter would hurry up and die already. And yes, she was completely serious.

Just got off the phone with my dad and my baby sister just got two scholarship letters from colleges wanting her to join them for basketball and volleyball. She's the first in my family to ever get offered a scholarship. So, very cool.

Right on, Jedi!

Cool!

Your dad should shop her around to the highest bidder, I think that's allowed now. :)

Around these parts, that's not a particularly uncommon sentiment. I couldn't give you a solid count the number of times I've heard it at least alluded to, but it'd be into the dozens.

No shortage of Georgia residents who have never quite forgiven themselves for somehow foisting that nitwit onto the nation.

I like how "slacktivism" is now making the rounds as a new word because of this and similar

(Oh, and I've been waiting for people to start using images of pedobear)

SI

I had Hammerman. I won the contest.

Speaking of lame things on facebook and people getting up in arms for no reason, a couple family members have posted this (well, I'll just skip straight to the snopes link):

snopes.com: Hanukkah Hams

Basically, the idea is that someone at Walmart put a sign that said "Delicious for Chanukah" in front of a ham. Okay, pretty funny, sure. But since it's Walmart, people are talking about boycotts and how their upper management is stupid. But man:

1. Get off your f'in high horse. It's probably some minimum wage worker who messed it up. Mistakes happen. You're really going to hold an entire company responsible because some moron working behind the deli counter messed up?
2. You're a minority, get used to it. My family likes to make a big deal out of the fact that they're Jewish, IMO they think that makes them special somehow and not just another white middle-class family. Then this happens and they're all, "WTF how can people not realize Jews don't eat pork?" Meanwhile, what they don't know about other religions (for example, Islam) is pretty sad.
3. Except for the vegetarians, no one in my family actually refrains from pork. EDIT: And I'm curious what percent of Jews actually keep kosher. In the strictest sense of kashrut, I'm sure it's extremely low, but I wonder what percent don't eat pork.
4. Turns out, as the snopes link indicates, it's not even from a Walmart in Arizona like the story claims. It's from a grocery store in New York City called Balducci's -- I guess someone figured the story would spread better if it was the evil Walmart behind it all.

Yes! Very cool! :)



Haha! I didn't even think of that. I wonder if I can get a house out of it? I'm going to have to tell my dad about this.

I read this as baby sitter. twice.

Haha! Now that you say that, I can see it. :)

Just found out that a friend of mine was the photographer for Glenn Howerton and Jill Latiano's Wedding.

Saw the pics today and Danny DeVito still looks like he did when I met him back in 95.

Did Danny DeVitio yell at you and tell you to get back in your cab?

LOL...I was bumping lifts at Deer Valley Ski Resort and he was skiing. We were joking around and yelled out.. "Little Kid getting on!" Where one of our guys immediately slowed the lift down to almost a crawl..He laughed, said good one guys...wanted to tip us, which we couldn't accept and was on his way up the lift. Was on one of the runs during my break that day and saw him out there. He was a pretty decent skier.

That is pretty cool. Having my love for TV and movies, it's always cool to hear a story about an actor or someone well known in the business, that does not come across as a jerk.

Haha! Nice and he wanted to tip you! Was Mrs. DeVito Perhlman with him?

I'm sure he was pretty decent at skiing with such a low center of gravity. ;)

Teachers who need permission slips for students shouldn't wait until 1145pm the night before to email them & still expect the students to bring them in the following morning.

I might not give an entire kingdom, but I'd certainly give up a province or two just for my son to have a band director that isn't a complete nitwit. Dumb? Lazy? Beats me, but the bitch has less organizational ability than a zombie with Alzheimer's.

What better thread for a site featuring random thoughts than the random thought thread?

Column in today's paper about Beano Cook...and mentions his new website/blog. I loved this entry-

http://www.beano-cook.com/Nov_2010.html

I love it when obnoxious really really fat chicks start talking about having dating standards. It's almost as bad as when internet dudes start talking about how they wouldn't have sex with Angelina Jolie.

Some fuckstick took out my mailbox today. It's too fucking cold to fix it good now.

Hasn't that happened to you before?

Isn't that all of Pennsylvania?

Jessica Simpson's fashion line will break the $1 billion mark next year.

I didn't realize there was that big of a market for plus sized clothes.

(and yes, i would still have sex with her)

Just finished my first semester of school in 16 years. I feel so lost with nothing due for the next 5 weeks.

I could give you an assignment if it'll make you feel better. ;) I'm sure I could dig up something that needs doing. :D

Alll kidding aside, congrats. Whatcha studying?

/tk

Mad at world :shakes fist
Some kid at my daughter's school caused a lice outbreak.

So my 6 year old daughter has decided to start calling me "bro" or "dude" instead of Dad. Will have to nip this in the bud quickly - although it was kinda cute the first couple of times.

It was probably this kid:

I'd probably let it go if she was calling you 'Brah'.

This is pretty damn funny actually...

To the person that gave me 2 stars for being bitter that a 4x4x4 5 ounce parcel cost $2 to ship it to you and you received 3 days after you bought it.. go fuck yourself.

isnt that the idea?

I don't follow?

Where the heck is everyone today? Awfully quiet in here...

I thought you sold sexual aids.

:D


Speaking of slow today, that would be me cuz I completely missed that...

I guess I have to find a cheaper way to ship spermacidal lube.

Every sperm is sacred.

I see a small claims court case in my future.

Went with a contractor back in October to do our windows. Signed the contract, paid the 1/3 upfront, was supposed to have the windows order and in their hands in 4 weeks and installation before Thanksgiving.

Hey, guess who doesn't have their windows installed yet? Ya.. this guy.

For the last few weeks it has been nothing, but one thing or another. They are finishing up this job or that job.. should be soon. Oh, we can come over tomorrow. (Nevermind that it is 4:30 PM and I'm not around tomorrow and I'm not comfortable just leaving someone have the run of the house). Now one guy was injured and another guy is sick.

Monday was scheduled.. now Monday might be too cold so they have to push it. Push it to when? I have no idea since their communication skills are for complete shit. Had no concerns this being done by 12/31 for the tax credit stuff.. but now?

We didn't do a HSFB thread this year, but I'm watching an awesome game on GPB Home

Calhoun just tied it at 24 to force OT vs Buford. Buford going for their 4th straight state title, Calhoun has come from 17 down in the 2nd half to get this far.

Buford wins it 31-24, RB Dominique Swope (considering Aub, UGA, GT) gets a TD (turf toe & all), Wolves defense holds on 3rd & short and 4th & 10.

4th straight title, only the 2nd team in state history to accomplish that feat (West Rome early 80's the other). And btw, most of the key players for Buford this year were juniors so they'll be favored to go for #5 next year.

Just ate a Lean Cuisine Chicken with Lasagna Rollatini. Not only was the Lasagna really horrible, the chicken had a bone in it, and was really horrible.

Early New Year's resolution: Learn to cook.

Gotta love minor league basketball.

Saw the Idaho Stampede tonight. At an early stoppage of play, they had a pepsi max chugging contest. This was a bad idea, and the result was predictable. One of the kids just kind of stopped, and was grabbing his stomach. He puked a little into a towel, and then let loose when they got a bucket out to him. The other kid won by default.

At halftime, there was a 5 foot tall acrobat/tightrope guy - he had a portable tight rope thing where he was only maybe 10-15 feet off the ground, but there was no net or other precautions. He's jumping around on the wire, riding a unicycle, jumping rope, and then - the big finale - a backflip on the tightrope. He missed, crotched himself on the wire, and then just kind of crumpled to the floor. Fortunately, I think he knows how to fall safely, and after a few seconds in a fetal position, he was back up there to try again, and he nailed it.

Antoine Walker was out there for the Stampede, and he looked SLOW.

I'm so proud of my Idaho Stampede shirt at this moment ;)

I was at Game 3 (of 3 game series) of the NBADL Finals a couple of years ago when I was in Boise for training. On one side were the Austin Toros coached by former Mizzou coach Quin Snyder. But the Stampede prevailed, led by occasional-NBA'er and league MVP Randy Livingston in his final professional game.

SI

How does anyone have a chugging competition after that "Wee for a Wii" thingy a few years back that killed that lady.

That was my first thought - but it was only a 20oz bottle, whoever finished that first won. There's no risk of water intoxication drinking only that much (but there is a serious risk of upchucking).

They've actually retired Randy Livingston's number.

A car flipped over outside of my church this morning thanks to the snow. I ran over and helped him out of the car. He was okay, but obviously not happy about flipping the car.

My wife and I were making fruit salad and talking with a friend online and the following came up. So, quick, if you can do this without looking:

What are the five "fruits" in generic school lunch fruit cocktail?

(Also, I don't care what if your school decided to "spruce things up" by adding something odd like watermelon. We're talking about what is the standard Del Monte fruit cup that schools imitated.)




SI

I only got 4 of 5, missed the one your friend missed & tbh, don't know that I ever realized that one was in there. I remembered the stuff pretty clearly (or so I thought) but don't believe I ever ate a bite of it in my life.

I love ice-skating. It's really just running around on an icy surface with knives strapped to your feet.

4 of 5 here, I couldn't think of the second one.

This snow is getting way out of hand. Absolutely fucking insane.

Well, this is one of the more unusual eBay bids I've made, but it's all my roommate's fault.

I hate snow. I have no idea why I continue to live in Wisconsin.

I'm wondering if I saw the beginnings of a high speed chase on the freeway this morning. Motorcycle was in front of a highway patrol car with its lights flashing and it didn't look like the motorcycle was making any effort to pull over. A couple of miles down the freeway, I see a different CHP car with its lights flashing, hauling ass past everyone.

Eaglesfan (the original) and I get mixed up sometimes. It could become even worse soon, as I am looking at a house in Mays Landing, NJ and could be in the same location as him.

Will this upset the space/time continuum by any chance?

Only if they occupy the same space at the same time, and I choose not to think about that happening...

I can't freakin take the intrusion of ads everywhere. Here is the latest brainchild:

One more reason why I am glad I have stuck with paper...

love the timecop reference. For some reason I always think about Ron Silver when someone says they can't be in two places at the same time.

Since we're talking about Timecop, I really think that could have been a really good movie if not for the fact that it starred JCVD and he sucks. Maybe in like 10 more years they will remake it with good actors, a real budget and some better writing and we'll have a top notch trilogy.

Haha! Yes! I guess more people watched Timecop than I thought.

for our holiday party, I just made bacon wrapped water chestnuts and bacon wrapped pretzel rods (pretzel rods wrapped in center cut bacon, microwaved for around 2 minutes for 6 and then dusted with nacho cheese popcorn seasoning).

The pretzel rods won't make it out the door since I just ate 10 of them...

Does the bacon not just fall/slide/slip off the pretzel rods? I'm having a tough time getting my head around how this works in terms of staying together.

Stuck in a traffic standstill for an hour plus now. I'm right before the exit I need. This job sucks. This night sucks. Fuck everything, this is fucking bullshit

You just spiral the bacon strip down and it adheres to the pretzel rod fairly well. (also works well with the hard style breadsticks). Just need to cook on top of paper towels so the grease soaks into the towels. The pretzel rods will soften a little bit from the bacon grease, but not alot. Of course, assuming you use center cut..

This is what they look like after microwaving..

Supposedly the wreckage is clear but now the cops gotta "wake up" a bunch of sleeping semi drivers. So fucking dumb

I'm about to start treating people like they were reginald denny.

I'm trying to stay calm but shit like this makes me wanna rage all bezerker and shit. I fucking hayte most semi drivers and I'm sure some asshead was going too fast for fucking conditions and supposedly caused this multiple commercial vehicle pileup.

Now past the 1.5 hour mark. Now I know how the test audience for The Little Fockers felt

What better: spening 1.5 hours stationary, or watching any 3 of the Grady episodes from Sanford and Son.

I once was stationary for over 3 hours one time. Semi wrecked and hit a sign that crossed the highway, I was on the way home from lone star park. There was jockey challenge that night, I had pval on a favorite with just prado on a 9 to 1 shot. It was ten dollar exacta. While waiting I had plenty of time wishing I would have boxed them cause prado always beats me. Got home and checked online and all I can say is I got stuck in traffic for over three hours how do you think it came in.

Okay, makes more sense now w/ the pic. Those are bigger pretzels than what I was thinking of.

Listening to Rob Dibble hurts my ears and destroys my soul, bit by bit. This morning's brilliant comment, in talking about Cashman and the original Steinbrenner:

"It's like HR Block - when the boss talks you listen."

First of all it's H&R Block, not HR Pufnstuf, dumbass. Second of all, that reference is so damn old, I wouldn't expect anyone under the age of maybe 32 to get it. And third of all, it's freakin' EF HUTTON YOU GODDAMN MORON!!!

That guy who works with him...I'd love to see a Mike & Mike-type camera on their show every day. That guy must bite his tongue a million times a morning when Dibble says something stupid. I couldn't imagine working with someone that stupid and not just unleashing the focking fury on him, throwing my headphones down, and walking out of there. It would be so tempting, I bet.

I can't believe this wasn't made into a dynasty thread.

Heh. The other day when the trailer for that movie came on TV, I thought that it's probably not a good sign when 2/3rds of the trailer for a movie consists of clips from 2 other movies.

My first experience in the fine state of Texas was spending well over 1 hour at 11 PM on the top of the I-635 to Highway 75 overpass while they did construction. Just what I was looking forward to doing after flying in.

Yay!!!

I might be the only guy in America wondering why I haven't had players standing like a wall on the sideline. I mean, don't try and hurt anyone or trip a player, but I like the intimidation concept. Seems like I'm the only one thinking "that's a great idea."

Just getting around to this...Was driving to work this morning and sneezed, which pulled a bunch of muscles by the bottom of my ribs on the left side. I did the exact same thing to my right side, but, further up, a little over a year and a half ago. WTF???? The pain on my right side still has not completely gone away and now I look forward to months and months of pain on the other side now. Awesome.

A student of mine turned me on to the soundtrack to How to Train Your Dragon (how to drain your dragon might be an interesting movie rite). I have never considered watching this movie, but this score is pretty bad ass. The track called Test Flight is kicking my ass all over the place. Can't stop listening to it.

Test Drive?

Yeah I think that's it. Sorry.

I seem to have survived my first trip to the penalty box.

Welcome to the NHL.

Are you related to Sammy Sosa?

This is the new NFL, son. Intimidation is one of those things, like hitting people hard and celebrating accomplishments, that won't be tolerated anymore.

Man, having a morning...

Found out one of my friends had a heart attack and is in a coma and then found out the biggest customer for my department was bought out. (accounts probably for 1/4 of our revenue at least so.. no idea how that affects my future). Daughter is sick and new windows are getting put in now...

I do this a lot. Not sneezing, but some other little inane thing (reaching for something, for example) that pulls a muscle in my ribcage. I've literally lost count with the number of times it has happened to me in the last 15 years.

Haha! I might as well be if I keep doing that. However, I have never used a corked bat.

JediKooter has the last post in like...15 threads right now.

I remember when we only had four total forums here @ FOFC, and Wig went on a rampage one evening on all four. He had the last post in something like 40 threads spread out, then when other people would respond, he would go back and edit his OP to make the response absolutely hilarious.

Awesome.

Slow day at work and thanks for the idea. I'm off to edit some posts...

Prepare for the universe to explode or something - I just verbally accepted a job offer to return to NJ and there is a good chance I will be buying a house in Mays Landing, NJ ;)

Congrats EF27!!!
