Useless Conversation

[Sky]

Sky even had the beard thing going on at one point in time!

Still do. I'm convinced this is how I got front row tickets to ZZ Top this month.

Holy Diver is a good tune. I had Heaven and Hell in my head all weekend. If only Dio could shut the fuck up during live album recordings.

So, uhh, possibly one of the strangest things I've ever experienced  happened to me on Saturday.  At around 4am (I guess that would make it Sunday), I was woken up by my cellphone.  I pick it up, some guy starts talking and then busts out in a rap.  Sounded hispanic.  He was freestyling for while and then being somewhat shell shocked, I just hung up.  I probably should have listened to the whole thing and told him "wrong number", but I don't deal so well with crazy and especially not at that hour.

Did I get served?

I've had people call my cell phone from Mexico and start talking in spanish. I was at a LAN cafe with some friends playing DotA, and it happened 4 times in a row. It was a Mexican lady, and she sounded like she was at a martini soirée.

I get phone calls from people speaking languages like Tagalog or Vietnamese or Thai who don't understand English phrases like "I can't understand you."  I usually just hang up after the 3rd or 4th time of them not getting it.  Most are pretty nice about it, but continue to talk anyway after hearing me say "don't understand you."

[schild]

My phone number used to belong to a drug dealer named Mike Max. The calls only come through every so often now as I've had the number for 4 years, but man, at the beginning, every day, YO YO YO YO, IS MIKE MAX THERE? YO YO YO YO WANT TO SEE THE GOOOOOOOOOOOOFY MOOOOOOOOOVIE?

[Yegolev]

My hotel room has a "state of the art Nintendo 64", quoth the book of services.  I wonder if they have more than one Wiimote for it?

[Signe]

We had a phone number that was one digit off from the West Coast Video around the corner from our flat and, at the same time,  an 800 number that used to belong to the boy band FIVE's fan club.  It was a nightmare.  The West Coast Video calls were bad enough but at least I could make shit up.  The week or so of squeaking and squealing 12 year old girls nearly drove me insane.

I am, right now, on the phone with someone that I think learned how to read some time within the next 24 hours.

I swear to god there should be a general education test required before you get on the motherfucking internet.

Our experts say that apparently "It's On.'

Okay, so I am ready to bitchslap a quaint Apple engineer.

In earlier versions of iMovie, apparently there was an Export menu option. Makes sense, right? I want to take this 40 gig worth of raw movie files, and export it into a QuickTime file.

At some point in time, some turtleneck-wearing walking blowjob decided it would be GODDAMN HILARIOUS to change the menu option to Share.

OH YES BECAUSE I WANT TO SHARE MY MOVIE WITH OTHERS NOT EXPORT IT GET IT HOHOHO

I spent 20 fuck shit ass goddamn minutes looking for it, until deep within the Help file, I find that it's the 'Share' option.

FUCK

YOU

IMOVIE

[Murgos]

Thanks for sharing.

[Sky]

Only terrorists export. Why do you hate freedom and sharing? But not file-sharing, as that's also terrorist. Or communist. I'm losing track of my ists. They're all from istans.

[Nonentity]

Thanks for sharing.

Eat my verbal diarrhea, it is useless conversation!

[Murgos]

I'm glad you shared that too.  Anything else you would like to share with us?

Maybe we could export some of your vitriol to other websites?  I am sure they would be happy that we shared.

After all, sharing is caring.

I share my vitriol to many websites!

Yes! You're a mean person!

You can't bring me down!

I will start humming old motown hits until I am happy again!

Christ, the GDI really have it in for Schild, eh ?

I have just spent 5 hours in the emergency room.

I've never been to an ER.

I am allergic to something in the BBQ sauce Papa John's uses. I did not have any known food allergies. Now I know of one.

Papa John's is banned from my motherfucking house now. They need to not import their SAIDS from China.

[Murgos]

Friend of mine became allergic to strawberries at the age of 32.  One year he ate them no problem (we have a yearly strawberry festival), the next he ate some and had to go to the ER and get a tube stuck down his throat so he could breath.  It happens.

I feel really bad that I posted a picture of you being engulfed in a self-emitted (not GDI) beam of light rage now.

[Signe]

What happened?  Did you swell up and all that stuff?  Now I'll be worried every time you eat something.  STOP EATING!  I can't take the stress.     Lie to me if you have to. 

[schild]

Yea, my throat and tongue had no swelling, but I was covered in hives. It was icky.

[Signe]

Are you lying to me?

[Strazos]

I feel for ya. When I was 21 or so, I magically became allergic to Shrimp, Crab, and Lobster.

Pretty lame, right?


And in keeping with the ER theme, I was in the ER two weeks ago for half of a Saturday. Apparently, all that physical training I had been doing (lots of running) for the USAF OTS (for which I was passed over), while at the same time being low on potassium and generally dehydrated (local water has Radon, kept forgetting to buy bottled on the way home) gave me a small kidney stone.


Worst pain a human can feel? Sure, I guess I can vouch for that.
At least I had finally become eligible and singed up for the company health plan 2 days before the ER visit.  :-D

The worst part? The stone broke up in my bladder, so I never even got to see it, or had a chance to have it sent out for analysis.

EDIT: Morphine is pretty nice stuff. Took 3 direct IV injections (as opposed to a wussy IV drip) to get the job done. 

[voodoolily]

Please, dear god, let Strazos become a junkie.

[Strazos]

Thanks, buddy.

[Signe]

All these famous, interesting people keep dying and, yet, everyone on my dead pool this year is still alive.  My dead pool is going to die of old age soon!  I wish everyone would just stop popping their clogs until I sort this out.

I magically became allergic to Shrimp, Crab, and Lobster.

I would seriously consider killing myself if this happened to me. Can at least eat scallops and clams?

[Strazos]

Yup. The problem seems to be tied to the red dye, so most other shellfish seem to be fine.

[Yegolev]

Can you eat flamingos?

[Signe]

I don't see why not.

[Oban]

Can you eat flamingos?

Some interesting recipes pop up if you do a Google search.

Goddamn Pumpkin Spice Lattes are good. With a cinnamon scone, they are EXCELLENT.

Ahh, the first sighting of the annual Pumpkin Spice Latte migration.  Fall has now officially started.
