Useless Conversation

[Bunk]

we have one like that, little primadonna fucker. get some dog hair and lay it about near the box, and maybe she'll realize there're predators about!

This is why formerly feral cats make the best pets.  They've already learned all the valuable life lessons, like burying poop and not getting stepped on or run over.

True, my rescued cat is fucking anal about burying her poop. Problem is, she seems to think the litter box isn't enough some times, so she adds an entire nest of toilet paper around it. Funny, but annoying. Especially when you have to keep buying new tiolet paper.

I just got new plants in my new apartment. Fucking cat thought she'd try climbing one. I caught her before she broke it in half. The over under on that plant's life expectancy is pretty low.

Heh. In my first apartment, the roommates my girlfriend and I lived with had a tacky fake tree that we hated. One of our kittens decided it would be fun to climb it and shake the shit out of the tree, so we encouraged him to do it.


Absolutely hilarious, until the roommate said her dead father gave her the tree. Oops.

Children in grocery stores should have a scruff of the neck.   

[bhodi]

Speaking of children in grocery stores, I have to paste this, one of the most funny, fucked up, and appropriate things I have ever read:

Now, I’m sure many of you have encountered little shits in supermarkets. Little kids running about and knocking things over, being rude, walking all over their parents, you know the kind. But the worst are the biters. Yes, those little cunts that feel it is okay to bite you whenever they feel like it.

Okay, here’s the best part. A biter got me today when I was grocery stopping. He broke the fucking skin, too. This was when the gears started turning, the moment I saw a tiny sprickle of blood on the little shit’s teeth as he was grinning at me like the little cunt he is. I made my eyes get wide, and started screaming “SHIT! SHIT!.” Now, my good friend, Tom we’ll call him, was there too, and he instantly picked up on it. He started shouting “FUCK! MAYBE HE DIDN’T GET IT! FUCK!.” By now, the kid is scared shitless and starts crying, and instantly, Mizz Mom appears out of nowhere and starts getting pissy at us for yelling at her kid.

Here’s the kicker, I look her straight in the eye and say, “Mam, get your son tested as soon as possible, he just bit me and I’m… I’m FUCKING HIV POSITIVE.”

And now there is silence. Not a peep in the entire store. The brat knows he just fucked up big time because his mom isn’t defending his ass. She just stares at me wide eyed. I walk away from them, buy my shit from the wide eyed cashier, all the while blood is dripping from my calf, making a nice little trail on the floor. And, just s we leave, we start to hear the mother sobbing. Sobbing like the cunt she is.

I have never felt any more satisfaction than the moment I heard that sob.

Parents in grocery stores need a scruff.

Also, good link bhodi.  If my boy ever bit anyone like that, it would be GAME OVER for his ass.

By the way, I have the best boy ever.

[Oban]

Wow, I never knew kids bit.

Seriously happy my daughter is in to Disney princesses and not whatever the hell that kids is in to...

[Yegolev]

Some do, in fact my boy has bitten me a few times, but never broken skin and I always corrected him.  He just gets really excited when wrestling and is learning limits.  This is ENTIRELY different than biting strangers in a grocery store.

[WayAbvPar]

Yep. If some strange kid ran up and bit me in the grocery store, I would be inclined to slap the shit out of his parents. Either he isn't getting the structure and discipline he needs, or he is some sort of special needs kid whose parents aren't supervising him. Either way it is very doubtful that the kid is at fault.

If someone came at me for yelling at their kid for biting me I would probably quiet down, then ask the store manager to call the police.

So bored at work.

[voodoolily]

If a kid bit me (even if it was my own), I really would smack him upside the head. Kids need to learn that some actions have unpleasant consequences.

[schild]

Way to go. You just got smacked. Now you'll learn not to bite strangers, hero.

[voodoolily]

Kids should learn that just as some dogs bite, and some stoves are hot, some grown-ups will hit back.

[Samwise]

I agree with this 100%.  Better to learn the lesson with a smack upside the head now than with a curbstomping later in life.

[Strazos]

Bhodi, that link is gold.

[bhodi]

[Yegolev]

That's simply terrible.  I'd never let my son play GTA on a SDTV.

[Ironwood]

Heh.

[Signe]

Everytime I look away, another one appears!   

[Oban]

Just stay off 4chan then.

[voodoolily]

I'm home today with an icky cold. Bleh! Bleh, I say!

Having had military parents means staying home sick is an act of the Weak, even if I do have 90+ hours of sick time saved up. I usually just go to work anyway, but I'm trying to get out of the habit.

[bhodi]

Staying home sick is so you don't infect your co-workers.

I get angry at companies that limit sick time or that combine it with vacation into one general time off pool. Inevitably, some douche comes in looking like he just stepped out of the movie outbreak because he can't / won't take time off, and by the next day the entire office has the creeping crud.

It's even worse in a cubicle environment; germs spread like wildfire. It's critical that you isolate patient zero. At home. With duct tape if necessary.

[murdoc]

My work is pain when it comes to sick leave, so we constantly have people coming in sick and infecting the rest of us. Easily my biggest complaint about this place.

[voodoolily]

The thing is, everyone who was sick last week stayed home. I was in the field all week, too. This is why I'm annoyed. - I shouldn'tve even caught it! At least I won't hafta go work in the cold and rain for three days. WIN! 

omg why is that smilie called a pedo bear?

[bhodi]

Because that's what it is. 

[voodoolily]

A dark-eyed junco just flew into our window. I think it's okay, but it was startling.

[Yegolev]

You're getting all Rear Window already?

VDL or Signe need to go play this, and then tell us about it. They love this cute shit, right?

This picture of a house freaks me out because it looks like it is alive and screaming in pain.

A scarecrow and Halloween pumpkins are seen in front of a burning house at the corner of Highway 330 and City Creek Road in Running Springs, Calif. on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2007. More than a dozen wildfires blowing across Southern California since Sunday have injured more than 45 people, including 21 firefighters and forced the evacuation of more than 350,000 houses.

[WayAbvPar]

I think I see the Pope off to the side. And the Virgin Mary in the foreground.

[schild]

Seven people in my family have already been evacuated. One of their houses is way awesome and the fire was a few blocks away when they were evacuated. 

[Signe]

I hope everyone in your family and their stuff is okay.      I hope no one here gets caught up in that mess, too.

[Yegolev]

That's pretty shitty.  Even though we have a Class 4 drought (per the sign, didn't know there were classes) we have not had any fires for some reason.  I might credit the local law enforcement with being on top of assholes burning things in their yards, but I'm also leaning toward luck.

Best wishes to your family.  That's a full-blown mess out there.
