My wife has decided to put an ocean theme on our lap top, the cursor is no longer an arrow, instead it's a conch shell, the hourglass is a spinning ship's wheel and the #$*% thing makes noises. The sound of a scuba regulator blowing bubbles and a seal barking. I can turn the sounds off but when she uses the computer she puts the sound on, it's driving me crazy, so I find myself occasionally wondering if this is grounds for justifiable homicide.

I just did a spell check on this post and the lap top made a noise like a shrieking seagull, there may be blood spilled.

I'll put $50.00 on the Lady, 3rd round by TKO, with 3:2 odds. Any takers?
Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

Auditions

I thought about posting this to the pros & novices section, but it's not really a question.

I've been going to audition workshops.
Half the instructors say I should stand in place.
The other half say I should use the whole stage.

Half the instructors say I should never pantomime.
The other half say I should always.

When auditioning for film, the instructors say you should always address the director & not the camera.
The directors always ask you to address the camera & not them.

With such conflicting instructions, I'd assume I should always ask first.
But one thing everyone agrees on, is that you should never, ever ask.  :question:

You would most likely win the bet, during a  work out I feinted with my left and then threw a right, the little woman (she's 6' 0") saw that and changed her right arm block to a backhand strike to the temple, unfortunately she got a little carried away and actually made contact. She really rang my bell.  :smile:

The other day I was out with some friends and I saw someone I knew across the place, so I got up from the big round booth where we all were, and walked over to say hi. When I came back, this guy at our table, just a female friend of mine's platonic sort of male friend, not someone I knew all that well, was holding my ringing phone, looking at it, and when he saw me he said, "Neat ringtone! By the way it's somebody named Jessica calling for ya." He acted like it was totally cool for him to reach in my purse, get out my phone, and ID my caller for me." Then he acted like EYE was being kvetchy for telling him I didn't think that was very cool that he did that.

So am I crazy or wasn't that intrusive and pushy of him? Shrug.

Rice Krispie Treats are much better when made with Fruity Pebbles cereal instead of Rice Krispies, , but then I guess they aren't really Rice Krispie Treats anymore.

Dude I knew a few years ago rode the Trans-Siberian Railroad all the way to Mongolia on his trip of a lifetime to Russia and beyond. The train stopped in the middle of nowhere in Siberia, at this station that'd had a little village grow up around it just because of the stop there.

The man I know got out and was walking around having a smoke, and this little Asiatic-looking person came over to him and in fairly good English asked if he would like to buy some jerky made from a mammoth.

The man was like, "What, you serious? Jerky made from a mammoth?"

The local said he was, that they found frozen mammoths every year out there, and for five US dollars, he'd sell him some to try.

The man I knew said no, figuring the jerky'd turn out to be yak or something, and got back on the train.

To this day I think of putting a hit on him for not taking a measly five-buck risk and buying it and bringing it back for DNA testing. Mammoth jerky? How often you come across that???

Concerning evolution (if it exists), I find it hard to believe that we're descended from monkeys.

Reason being, we just have way too much in common with dogs.

Besides, when was the last time you heard of someone turning into a weremonkey?
