So, I went out to get a six pack of some refreshing beverages last night. When I was putting my beverages away, I found a beer mug in the refrigerator filled with friggin’ asparagus. Not one of the cheap thin-glass beer mugs we have, and not the one with the crack in it (they’re in the cupboard, decidedly devoid of asparagus). No, this is one of the seven mugs that I like to keep in the freezer at all times. One of my few indulgences. What can I say? I like a frosty beer mug. And, frankly, I don’t particularly like asparagus (I don’t think it’s terrible, mind you, but if I had to choose between a frozen beer mug and fucking asparagus, asparagus loses every time).
But, hey, I’m not one to complain.
You should eat your asparagus, PJ. They’re good for you.
Today promises to be another long and boring day because I have the last conference of the year to attend, where I will hear the same thing I hear at the end of every year. I hope doing the crossword will keep me awake.
Hubby is still sick, with whatever this seasonal bug is. Daughter is too.
Have a good day, all.
Too bad about Penn. I kinda liked the Clinton campaign having a strategist with his head completely up his ass. But oh well.
:rofl2:
I highly recommend sudoku as a timekiller, too.
It’s not whether to eat the asparagus or not. It’s whether it needs to be stored in one of the good beer mugs (not expensive, mind you – 4 for $10 – just nice thick glass that gets really cold and stays cold for a long time, which is why you need to keep a bunch of them in the freezer, so they have ample time to get as cold as possible, so you shouldn’t keep putting them back in the gd cupboard or use them to store friggin’ vegetables in), when there are plenty of other options available.
That’s all.
Not that I’m one to complain, of course. I’ll just go out and buy more. I’ll get so gosh darn many beer mugs, there won’t be any place to keep them but in the freezer.
While I’m at it, I think I’ll go buy more socks and underwear, too.
Morning all, I finally have the day off of course I have so much to do around the house it won’t fee much like a day off at all.
PJ, I was thinking about this monitor or maybe this one since my current G400 Sony is about to bite the dust.(I have the contrast and brightness both set to zero and it’s still is like looking into the sun) I’d like a 24″ with the new technology but thehy’re out of my price range. Any thoughts?
Well, you’re a gamer, so the faster the response time the better. At least, in theory. How much you’ll notice depends on you, I guess. 22″ for $20 more doesn’t sound bad. I don’t know much about the HP stuff, or who actually makes them. Being able to rotate it is nice, in theory, but then how often are you really going to make use of it (good for reading x-rays and stuff, which is what they do with them here). I have a couple of Hanns G 19″ monitors that I’ve had for close to two years now (one widescreen, one regular), with no complaints (no dead pixels or anything, nice bright image, good blacks and contrast). Especially when I think how much I paid for my first 17″ CRT. Oy. I don’t know how fussy I am, though. I actually hardly ever sit at my desktop these days.
Yeah, the 24s are just a bit too much so far.
Not sure what the stated contrast ratios are really worth. Sometimes I think they make that stuff up. HDMI input might be nice if you ever want to use it with consumer electronics (not sure it’d be worth paying more for).
How’s that for a worthless response?
For a certain fraction of people, Asparagus makes your urine smell overpoweringly strange. The first time I noticed this smell when taking a pee, I thought I might have something terribly wrong with me. As Rosane Rosanna Danna would say, “I thought I was gonna die”.
Certain fraction? Let’s not talk about eating beets. Or washing down your asparagus with beer.
I thought it was genetic with asparagus. Certain people can smell it while lots of others can’t.
Oh yeah, the beet thing, the first time I saw red-stained pee, I figured I had cancer.
I hate it when my piss stinks.
I thought it was just guys who had smelly asparagus piss- but I ate some from Chile that didn’t.
Did you run out of tupperware?
Wow, this conversation went in the toilet real quick. :crap: I like that vitamin B makes your pee day glo yellow.
Feel Better Sweet Sue P ( :rofl2: shhhh :rofl2: ). You TELL the lil buggies to stay away :omg: :growl: :fist: …. What A Grand “Buggy Watcher” :tap: :fist: A!I!
Yea KP, and that wonderful smell :omg: :tap: :rofl2: but it really is quite dear that Men are so sensitive they can tell “something” is “happin’ ” by smell and looks :no: no taste :rofl2: ,
that is — gosh I hate to saythis, but it kinda is charming & dear & makes a woman proud :rofl2: really :yippee:
Malloy will be on CNN early morning the 13th. The last time he was on the tube he self-destructed in about 45 seconds. :slap: :nana:
Tune in early
Wasn’t that Fr. Mulcahy in M*A*S*H. Oh, wait, that was day glo red.
wait a minute, but thats easy cuz a man “sees” right in front — :rofl2: he can’t miss seeing :rofl2: :banana: teehee … :rofl2:
or smelling :rofl2: ………………………….. :rofl2: Nevermind
A man can also tell the difference between a toilet seat that’s up, and one that’s down – even in the dark. It’s an amazing ability, apparently.
Pomegranate Martini (however spelled — bloody hell & I just found twit reading glasses :doh: …. :dancers: )

JFI Where I am having reading problems is i am on that precipice between different stages of glasses …. and EXCEPT for reading and just now for the computer –perhaps :doh: do you “see” what I mean? EVERYTHING IS Askance Everywhere… and since I need more “cord around neck” w/ glasses I now stick in pocket (if I hav a pocket 😮 ) and forgotton which one — also i just think it is easier if one just “wears” instead of off on off on off on and thus continues… 🙄 and some folk has “history” with glasses so they know all the bloody “tricks” but I am just :fustrate: Life of Glasses — once they are on — I like until I have to stand and walk :omg:
Wow, life without S. Miller, usually now no Thom, Randi, and, Malloy 8) -at least getting more work done. :tongue: *poof* 😉

CNN Breaking News. Princess Diana still dead.
BTW Sean the Internets go all over the world including Australia .. Some govenments censor what you can read or listen to but the Internet is everywhere ( almost) :tap: :tap:
Sorry I wasn’t able to come by and see you in Fort Collins Sean but this new project has everyone working on it held captive until we yield enough parts that pass inspection ( that was supposed t be two weeks ago so go figure)
We make parts , QA test parts and project management complains about the parts and thats a three shit operation that doesn’t always end or begin when the shift does . :fustrate: :fustrate:
I am beginning to hate this cell phone .. :tommygun: :tommygun:
Wow so many Great Protests. Huge banner off Golden Gate to FREE TIBET….. I was wondering what was going to happen for “the Olympic Torch” EXCELLENT! What a great beginning :banana: but they are facing arrest with 10G fine. …. for a protesting a massacre of the :bow: Tibetan Body and Mind… :bow:

I think I’m going to go with the LG. Tom’s Hardware included it in a rig to play Crysis and the HP apparently has ghosting issues, a shame because I really liked the design of the HP.
I think Heartman would be more entertaining if he were to water board these conservatives live on the radio in lue of arguing wit them. :reaper: :reaper:
Oh, my!
Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain’s intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain’s hair and said, “You’re getting a little thin up there.” McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.” McCain’s excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.
Better still if he waterboarded them in the loo. :crap:
Did Jon Stewart lose all of his writers to the strike? I just caught up with last thursdays show. He was desperately laughing at John Oliver making up “english sounding” names like “Winifred P Poop-pants” in a sad pointless skit. :jerk:
It really hasn’t improved since the strike ended. :tap:
I hope he gives it up before it becomes an embarresment :crap:
Let’s see……, what could they replace “The Daily Show” with……………?hmmmm…… ? :fire:
“All Together Now, Women…” :tap: 🙄 :yawn: :growl: :cat:
Too many strange info to try to list … but you wonderful dear men did confirm why “strawberries” :omg: :rofl2: :nixon: :no: 😉 .. Tea Time :dancers: *poof*
Marc Maron
It’s significant Barack Obama is running. I think it’s important for black people to have a chance to be misrepresented by one of their own.
