Useless Conversation

Loprazolam.

You'll thank me later.

[Endie]

All this Thanksgiving stuff is all very well, but it's only two days until St Andrews Night.  I'm having one haggis tomorrow and another on the night itself.  Fair faw it's honest, sonsie face...

[Signe]

Righ would love it if I made haggis.  I don't like haggis.  It's a bag full of  .

I honestly don't believe anyone really likes haggis.  It's a prestige food.  People just eat it to say that they've eaten it.  Much like Rocky Mountain oysters.

Much like Rocky Mountain oysters.

I cringe at the thought.

[Lantyssa]

And which pendant? We make some nice ones. As a wild guess, cat pentacle with hematite!

Butterfly with the blue jewels.

Um, are you trolling?  If not, would you say the same of, say, blood pudding (Blutwurst/boudin noir)?

[Sir T]

I'm sooo glad the national Irish food is potatoes. With bacon and cabbage thrown in for variety now and again.

Hell, we even made whiskey out of potatoes. That's love, man.

[Oban]

I like blood pudding, I have a preference for soondae and boudin especially.

Have I ever trolled?  It was a joke.  Lighten up, Francis.

"Lighten up" in what way?  I was asking an honest question.  It just seemed an interesting/odd thing to say, and I was intrigued if you were kidding or really felt that way.

So don't get so defensive, Francis.

[rattran]

This is Useless Conversation, not Politics.

And Haggis is evil wrapped in vile, steamed up for the insane. Much like blood pudding.

[Nebu]

So don't get so defensive, Francis.

"Lighten up, Francis" is a line from the movie "Stripes".  I didn't mean to offend.  I was just in a silly mood the other day. 

People eat all sorts of crazy things.  I'm not exactly sure who was the first person to look at a pig and think "Wow, that looks delicious!".  I'll never figure out the eating behavior of humans. 

[Ironwood]

Not really how it works.  First guy tho looked at a pig and eat it was the guy who was saying 'Christ, I'm starving.  I haven't eaten in 9 days and I'm starving and I reckon if I take this rock, I can bash that little pink thing over the fucking head.'

This is the type of thinking you may wish to avoid when your plane crashes in the Andes.

Hm. I have to remember this date. If all goes well, I should be in Scotland around this time next year. I'd love to try some haggis.

Give me a shout when you're here.

[Ironwood]

And he'll totally stand you up.

Hey hey hey I PMed Righ to say what day I could make it and got no response, so *I* got stood up.  I simply assumed he had other more important funereal stuff to do.

[Lantyssa]

What, they haven't invented phones there, yet?

[Ironwood]

We ran out of paper cups in '76.  The string shortage came later...

[Endie]

What, they haven't invented phones there, yet?

Hey we just invent this shit. Doesn't mean we have to use them.

[Signe]

Endie isn't in Glasgow, though, is he?   He's fancy, isn't he?

I'm in rural Fife for some of the week, Edinburgh the rest.

Thus my inability to make it at three hours' notice to Ironwood's local.

She and the boy are doing great - we are just about to get out of here and head home for the first time.  Then the real fun starts!

Enjoy the poop!

18 months later and my daughter's poop is still a daily conversation between my wife and I.

I can't deny it - the newborn baby poop chart is  fascinating for the first few months.   It's much less fun now that she's on real foods and the conversation is more a matter of who's turn it is to change her diaper.

You ain't fucking kidding here, chief.

Enjoy the memory of sleep. 

[Mrbloodworth]

I was busy giving Heather my undivided attention. :)

Thanks for the kind words!

Awesome! This is what happens when I don't read the Useless Conversation thread.

I think Sauced would be interested in your claims of causality.

Typing this on the new monitors I ordered for the 800x600 crowd. Their new software requires 1024x768 (ZOMG), I forget where we were discussing that or I'd slot this post in there.

Jumped on holiday pricing for a Samsung 1080p monitor, 24" widescreen. They still won't be happy, they've already begun pre-bitching when I showed them how massive these monitors are. But now everyone in every office wants one. I'm, ahem, testing this one until their computers come in...

Tough to be an honest tech guy, not only won't I snag one of these monitors, I just took myself out of the running for a computer upgrade next year so we could stretch dollars elsewhere. Blah.

But now I want a 24" monitor.

[Yegolev]

I think typing on a monitor is your primary issue.  They might do better with a keyboard.
