Make A Random Statement About Something Nobody Should Care About

[Alex]

Was a lovely day today, so I decided to put in a days leave and spend it with the wife. We went for a walk along the harbour, took some pictures of the beach and sea, went to a cafe for lunch and then strolled along the waters edge eating ice creams. Today was a good day. Nothing complicated, just spending time with each other and enjoying it. It amazes me more and more every day that even after more than four years we still seem to be in the honeymoon period.

Decided to use an online page to start up a D&D campaign with some friends scattered over Europe. Would much rather be a player than the DM, but I am writing a campaign just now (in between popping onto other pages) and watching fantasy films to keep me in the right frame of mind (Dungeons & Dragons 3: The Book Of Vile Darkness at the moment).

About sixteen years ago I knew a woman from France who told me she switched dentists recently, and I could tell she wanted me to ask, "Oh, yeah, how come?" so I did and I'd say she had a pretty good reason since her former dentist was arrested in connection with murdering at least six and possibly nine young women over the course of I forget how many years, but it was spread out a bit.

I asked if the dentist was creepy and she said not at all, he was the warmest, nicest person ever, except in retrospect he'd do two odd things. One was he seemed to really like to feel your pulse at your neck with his bare fingertips, and the other was he'd personally call your house to check on you if he'd done a procedure on you that day, and then ask if your doors were locked, because he said he did neighborhood watch volunteer work in his own community and cared about his patients' safety!

Whoa.

Not all service personnel gave their lives in combat... Some were killed in testing, training & transit.

After at least twenty-five years of watching & rewatching Zardoz, I finally figured out what a Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver is...

And, now that I know what a Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver is, I kinda don't see the point. I mean, semi-automatic pistols & double-action revolvers had already been around a while.

Besides, for a gun, it seems something of a clunky novelty...

Proof of the wise saying "Just because you can do something, does not mean you have to do it."

P.S. LilCerb...RE: you post above. Do you listen to Dennis Prager? He mentioned that in his Memorial day show.

Helpful hint: If ever you need to buy your daughter a black dress so your husband can take her to California with him for the funeral of a woman with whom he used to be in love, just buy the girl a black dress and bring it back to her, don't take her to a boutique and let her pick out her own or you'll stand around for an hour while she tries on every one in the shop, then spend another hour arguing with her about why the one she likes is not the one she should wear, then spend another hour driving home to a wall of silence from her because the one you bought her is the one she wanted least. (I'm at step two now with step three to look forward to.) As I was just telling the owner here, she's eight. Imagine when we clash over clothes when she's about thirteen.

Anyone wanna take over for a while? She cleans her room, speaks French, uses sign language, plays piano, makes good grades and plays soccer like I had a fling with Landon Donovan. She has bad fashion sense, though, and isn't very nice to her mother sometimes....

Umm...if I, say, "accidentally" sold her to a grandmother in need of a child to pamper, would I have to split that money with you?

Sorry, I just found out that when the old lady said she was gonna pay in cookies, it wasn't some weird slang for money. What am I gonna do with 50,000 freaking cookies? Deal's off.

I wonder what Jill Greenberg thinks of Kathy Griffin.
Seriously.

[LilCerberus]

Aaanndd now, I'm wondering what Gabriel Range & Simon Finch Think of Kathy Griffin...

[LilCerberus]

Anybody remember how Gabriel Range & Simon Finch won an award for their depiction of a dead George W. Bush, but you couldn't make a crack about some primate that had recently passed away or needed to be put down without being accused of making some sort of threat against the Bamster?

So, I keep seeing this article pop up saying Maza plans to bring back the wankel sometime in the next decade...
