Useless Conversation

[Ironwood]

I'd laugh, but Skype got cunt kicked lately, so hey ho.

[Phildo]

Ooh, my friend is probably having a very bad day!  Poor bastard.

[Merusk]

I seem to be doing that a lot...reume time.

Might want to clean that up on the old reume.  

Ah, Spellcheck is for sober people.

Spent the last 2 weeks around Kansas City. Feels like I went to every piece of shit mortgage company and self important cockbag loan officer in the area trying to get a mortgage. Who'd have thought it was so damn hard to get a loan for less than the price of a minivan.

On the plus side, I got to visit with a woman who does exotic animal rescue stuff, and does teaching presentations at schools. I got sprayed by a Canadian Lynx, got up close to a mess of Caracalsm, Margay, and Swift Foxes, was able to pet a Serval, got nibbled on by a prairie dog, fleetingly pet a Ringtail/Miner's Cat, and played with a southern three-banded armadillo. Great fun, if I do get the house near there I'll be doing a bunch of volunteer work in the winters.

[Chimpy]

Better get checked for leprosy after fondling that armadillo! 

[rattran]

The 3banded ones don't/can't carry Hansen's. I asked.

They do curl up into a total ball when they're snuggled into your shirt and the cell phone rings.

Annnnd Microsoft have updated the portal for new software, but on trying to run it, it removes the old software.

Well done Microsoft.  You utter, utter fuckwits.

[Yegolev]

Old software = old donuts

[Ironwood]

That analogy breaks down when you consider the software is meant to be modular.

This is like taking all the donuts, sprinkling crushed peanuts on them and then watching the folks with peanut allergies DIE.

[Yegolev]

Modular?  I thought you wrote Microsoft.

I do like your peanut allergy analogy though.

[Merusk]

Are.... are we supposed to have a discussion now about how the world is now stronger and better off vs. the morality of such actions?

Because it IS Microsoft and we know where they fall on both lines of thought.

[Ironwood]

No, of course not, this is useless conversation, which is why I put it here.   But in this instance, I'm the fucking nurse on the ward where these cunts are vomiting, shitting themselves and dying.

So, you know, vent.  And whatnot.

[Signe]

Morrissey wrote a novel.  It has sex, too.  Here is a sex scene obviously written using a random word generator:

“Eliza and Ezra rolled together into the one giggling snowball of full-figured copulation,
 screaming and shouting as they playfully bit and pulled at each other in a dangerous and
 clamorous rollercoaster coil of sexually violent rotation with Eliza’s breasts barrel-rolled
 across Ezra’s howling mouth and the pained frenzy of his bulbous salutation extenuating
 his excitement as it smacked its way into every muscle of Eliza’s body except for the otherwise
 central zone.”

It doesn't read like a sex scene in a book.  It reads like a mad lib.

[Ironwood]

There was a hashtag for bulbous salutation for a while.  It produced some hilarious commentary.

[Yegolev]

Stopped at Eliza and Ezra.  I really should have stopped at Morrissey.

[Merusk]

I lost track of where we were. Right then.


Uh.. so reading that makes me wonder exactly what sort of 'sex' Morrissey has actually ever had. Is it all flailing about, yelling and general confusion?

[Ironwood]

I would like to meet the woman who can do a barrel roll with her breasts.

[Merusk]

I hear it's all the rage just after ping pong balls and lighters in Thailand.

[Ironwood]

ew

[Triax]

I would like to meet the woman who can do a barrel roll with her breasts.

[Yegolev]

Hmmm.  I'll have to think about that one.

[Nebu]

I would like to meet the woman who can do a barrel roll with her breasts.

Most women my age can do a drum roll with them.  How about that?

[HaemishM]

Ew.

[RhyssaFireheart]

FUCK YOU, APPLE!   

I shouldn't have to attach a credit card (which I don't have, btw) to my Apple ID account just to listen to the radio stations.  If I wanted to buy something, then I'll worry about how I'm going to pay for it, but until then, get screwed.

Also, holy hell, are import CDs expensive.  Why do I have to be one of those weirdos who likes physical media so much?

You can validate your apple ID account with an iTunes payment card instead of a credit card. Apple uses the card as proof of where you are located for store licencing issues. So if you want to use the US iTunes store, you have to provide either a US credit card or a US iTunes gift card in order to get anything (even free things).

Hmm, I didn't know that about the iTunes cards.  Might be easier to just pick up a $10 gift card rather than hassle with anything else.  It's a stupid policy, IMO, especially if I have no intention of buying anything.  I absolutely refuse to use my debit card for something like this and it's the only card of any sort we have any more.

[Merusk]

Blame copyright and regional approaches from content creators, not Apple, though.

Credit Cards are about the only way of making sure someone's not spoofing their location. Sure you CAN get an American credit card if you're in Europe or China or vice-versa, but it's not easy and why bother for just faking what region you're in. So, solution!

[Yegolev]

I really want to click on the Katy Perry thread, but I'm at work.

[Signe]

Each minute you refrain from clicking, you build character. 

[Yegolev]

[MuffinMan]

You're not missing much. Wasn't worth disconnecting from WiFi and huddling at my desk.

[Sky]

Slipped on the basement stairs, caught myself but landed weirdly on the front of my toes. Figured I'd sprained it, but went to the ER for xrays (and of course the note for work). Joking with the ER doc that there was no way it was broken because I'm not badass enough to be walking around on a broken toe. He said I was, but stop walking on it :p

This sucks! I'm going to go nuts having to sit around for a week+.

[Viin]

But now you can get a wheel chair and learn how to play basketball in one!

[ghost]

What's up, people?  Been a while.

[Sky]

Look, it's the spiritual manifestation of someone we thought dead!
