Useless Conversation

[Krakrok]

Some meth head running from the cops in a car chase missed the turn and ran into the hedge at my office last night. They must have ran after the crash and chucked the drugs at some point because the cops were looking all over. Didn't see anything in the local paper about it so far.

[Furiously]

Likely because he was an alien species.

Tired:

Useless conference calls with more than six people.
Discussions that occur on a conference call that could have been handled over email.
Microsoft LiveMeeting.
Conference calls that use Microsoft LiveMeeting.
Microsoft products that do not support Macs.

Wired:

Speakerphones.
The mute button.
Cordless business phones.
Cordless business phones with built-in speakerphones and a mute button.
Blenders.
Espresso, ice cubes, kahluah, bailey's irish cream, table cream and vodka.
Working from home.
Working from home, browsing F13, listening to a useless conference call while sipping a blender drink.

Australians are the nicest people EVER.  The other day I bought a sleep mask from a company in Australia and the man sent me an email saying thank you and how he hopes I like it and all that.  Then today he sends me an email about how he's sent my stuff and it should be here in 5 - 8 days and yadda yadda yadda.  He was so nice I wanted to hug him.  I'm sure it wasn't a form letter because it was too sweet.

I hear Aussies are also racist, but I'm sure the fag that told me that was probably just too PC.

Signe, can you give me a link to that sleep mask? I need one myself during the summer morning hours, and the ones at the drugstores here are just awful. Plus, I wana have my own wierdo Australian internet stalker.

[Signe]

I have one that's pretty comfy but this one has these little ear pillows and I need something to take the edge off sound-wise.  (Righ snores a little)  Earplugs really bother me and I don't like those silicon blobby things, either.

A guy I know, whose snoring was so bad his wife often asked him to sleep on the couch, just had surgery done to widen his nasal passages.  One day affair, a week or so of bandages and, err, dripping and he's allowed back in the bedroom.

Worth considering if it's that bad you need ear plugs.

[Engels]

Odd. Aussi land must have broken the internet. Although I found an article on it with the same URL, the URL don't work.

I need 'em cuz I'm a light sleeper. I mean really light sleeper. I get woken up by the smell of oatmeal. I woke up before the fire alarms went off the other month when there was a fire 4 stories down of some card board boxes. My partner doesn't snore, thank god.

[Signe]

I used to be able to sleep through anything.  I even slept through a rather significant earthquake once.  Not any more.  Sometimes even crickets wake me up and once I'm awake, it's hard to fall back asleep.  They're very helpful if you travel a lot by air, too.  That link still works fine for me, btw.

Heh. I'm still much in the 'sleep through stuff' stage.  Apparently we had a tornado touch down near our house accompanies by 'the worst thunderstorm in the last 10 years'.  I still refuse to believe my wife when she tells me that there were people all over the neighboorhood staring out their windows in fear.

[Yegolev]

My wife would have woken me up (via toenail or other pointy bit) and told me to go look and see what the racket is.  Oddly, she slept through the small earthquake we had a few years ago.

[schild]

I could sleep through a zombie attack. Which seems to be a problem around these parts.

[Yegolev]

Was that a RE5 joke?

[schild]

No, it was a black joke.

[Yegolev]

Ah, good, my next guess was a RE4 joke.

[Furiously]

I can stare at them for hours...

Hmm... I never even thought of making my toenails pointy to wake up Righ.  You're Your wife has inspired me!

To Furiously:  BLOBBY NOT BOOBY!  DAMMIT.

I shouldn't type faster than my brain works.

Proper use involves a downward scrape along the shinbone, starting just below the knee and ending when you can't get your toenail any further into his foot meat.

Also you should have used the posessive of "you" rather than the contraction of "you are".

[schild]

Awesome.

[MrHat]

lol, that's messed up.

[Signe]

I just watched "Hot Fuzz".  I loved it.

[voodoolily]

That's because Simon Pegg is HAWT.

[Signe]

Strangely, he is.  I think I've enjoyed just about every thing he's done, too.

[voodoolily]

It's odd, isn't it? he isn't by most standards an attractive man, but there's just somethin' about him. 

[Ironwood]

Confidence.

[NiX]

Same. I laughed pretty hard when he kicked that old lady in the face. I'm weird like that.

[HaemishM]

Hot Fuzz rocked all kinds of ass. Starts a bit slow, but really grabs hold of your balls by the middle act.

[Yegolev]

Japanese for "driving": unkouchu
Japanese for "shitting": unkochu

Long and short vowels are hard.

[Oban]

So minivan driver is "unkouchu unkochu" in Japanese?

[Ookii]

Japanese for "driving": unkouchu
Japanese for "shitting": unkochu

Long and short vowels are hard.

Not that my knowledge of Japanese is all-encompassing, but I deem the aforementioned quote - 'ries'.

[Yegolev]

Conjugation is hard.  I am able to verify that うんこ is a colloquialism for shit.

Edit: Please to be translating:
Unkouchuu yamuwo enai baai wa kyuu-teisha itashimasu.

The choice of romaji is, uh, interesting here and somewhat confusing.

[Lantyssa]

I did, too.  I wanted more Chief Inspector Nighy though.

[Raging Turtle]

I might be moving to Istanbul on Sunday, three weeks earlier than I planned.

It's going to be a fun* week.



*insane

[Murgos]

Not Constantinople?
