Random thoughts that are pointless and too dumb to say anywhere else thread: 2008 (July – Dec.)

[Thurston Fluff]

Sneezing inside a gorilla mask sucks.

[JimH5]

I seldom hear people whistling anymore. Like musical whistling.

Why is that?

Is it rude? Dorky? Do people not have the skill to do it?

 

I grew up in a house where my Dad whistled tunes often, and I picked up on the habit, and consider myself to be capable.

Yet whenever I whistle in public, I get self conscious about it and usually stop.

And then other times, I don't give a rip what anyone thinks and I whistle away.

I find myself whistling a lot when I'm by myself or doing some mundane task. When I hear other people whistle it does kind of get on my nerves, so I try to be conscious about not doing it around other people.

 

I guess it only really gets annoying when people do it constantly around you, otherwise I can stand it.

[GAME05]

never whistle in an elevator.

About 8 months ago, I started whistling the West Side Story tune "The Jets are in gear -- our cylinders are clickin" at least once a day. I swear, it just comes out at random.

I love baking. Cookies are delicious.

The Brewers magnet set I ordered through the Journal Sentinel arrived today. Assembling it was the perfect distraction from the UW-Cal Poly game.

It's funny, but I haven't said those 2 names since elementary school.

This is the dumbest thread ever.

 

Yet, for some reason - it is the most entertaining thread on the entire board.

Trick or treat

Smell my feet

Give me something good to eat...

I can into the store this fine day after thanksgiving and found someone had decapitated our gorilla outside our store. Police called, one TV station already stopped by, several people stopped by to send give their condolences.

$1,000 reward is being offered.

[GAME05]

heck, i'd imagine the decapitated gorilla and then some light news coverage would attract more attention to the store then a fully-headed gorilla would in the first place.

[Thurston Fluff]

To a degree. The gorilla is kind of a local landmark so it really was quite an attention getter already. But yes three news stations have been by now and I just got a call from the AP in Milwaukee asking for details about the reward offered which wouldn't have happened without the decapitation. But it was a animatron type thing that cost over $1000 to replace so I would much rather have the total gorilla than a couple days of coverage and no head. Heck we named him and spent more money on his clothes last year than I did mine. He's our inanimate gorilla-child. We surrounded him with black balloons and I am in the process of making a

toy soldier balloon man to guard his beheaded corpse.http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/bb92575201569807dec70f821fb5f396c378d6b.jpg

I came to the realization today that I am where I am in my life because Jamar Fletcher intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown in the 1999 Rose Bowl.

[hawing]

Oh, NMF, you've got to flesh that out for us a little.

[NeedMoreFans]

Oh, NMF, you've got to flesh that out for us a little.

Ok, here's an explanation...

 

I was a senior in high school on Jan. 1, 1999, the day of that game. I was trying to decide where to go to college. I narrowed it down to two places...University of Minnesota, or UW-Madison. The moment Jamar Fletcher took that pick to the house, I decided to go to UW. My reasoning? How could I possibly cheer against the Badgers?--OR--How could I cheer for anyone other than the Badgers? As stupid as it sounds, I based my choice of college on the athletic teams. So I chose to go to UW, fell in love with Madison, met my wife, and am now employed. Had the Badgers stunk it up that day, who knows what my decision would have been.

[hawing]

So, Jamar Fletcher saved you from being a Gopher. I'd say you owe him a fruit basket.

Was M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening" supposed to be a comedy? I think so, because I couldn't stop laughing at the acting. It was so bad it was funny. Either way, it was much, much funnier than The Love Guru. That's 86 minutes of my life I will never get back.

My scrabble scores have been up over 300 lately, and improving.

sbrylski, where are you located? If you're in Madison, we should get together some time for a few games. None of my friends will play me anymore because they're tired of losing. But averaging 300+ bodes well for some decent competition.

To be clear, those scores are in a two player game. I am in Madison, but will be traveling as soon as I finish my last exam. Sometime after semester break we should meet up.

I am wondering how much traffic the site is getting tonight waiting on whether or not Shouse and Sheets accept arbitration.

Our whole house now smells like pine trees and cinnamon enhanced pine cones. Not only that, our location of the Christmas tree interferes with viewing the TV from the hallway.
