-I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.

-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

-That's enough, Nickelback.

-I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know" feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with?

-There is a great need for sarcasm font.

-Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the f was going on when I first saw it.

-I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it.

-How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text message.

- Was learning cursive really necessary?

- Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say".

- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron test is absolutely petrifying.

- My brother's Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, "Cuz we beat you, and you hate us." Classy, bro.

- Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".

- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?

- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!

- Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)...ummm...Goonies"

-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

- MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

- I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water.

-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

- I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu' to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."
-I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

- Bad decisions make good stories

-Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!

-If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem....

-You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection.

-I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

- "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever.

-I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure.. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'

-I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dangit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

- I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles...

- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.

-Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

-It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

-I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to with it.

-Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I’d bet my arse everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...

-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How do I respond to that?

-I wonder if cops ever get p*ssed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.

-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

Hopefully this was humorous in the least.

Post some of your own.

What makes me nervous is when I play Grand Theft Auto for more than a few hours and I go outside. I see people driving around and I picture myself opening their car doors, yanking them out, and driving away at top speed. I know that there's only a small filter in my mind that prevents me from doing just that... and if that filter ever fails...

Bulbs kept in a freezer would explode when they are turned on (sudden cold -> heat change) unless they are shielded or kept in some kind of plastic casing - in either case, it's impractical or adds cost for no real benefit

They probably use LED's these days, which would be fine in the freezer.

It's annoying, especially when you speak with such conviction and think, 'hang on a minute, he/she's go a point', normally I just try to accept it and simple say, "I might be mistaken" and each time I try not to make statements without thinking about them first.

That's a good point. LumiLEDs would probably fit the bill. I assume they're not put in most generic fridge/freezers because of the cost (so unless you buy a pricey fridge/freezer, you get nothing)

So true, especially when people start saying it in conversations, not just on msn.

Quote: "Post some of your own."

Not really the same thing but...

Never say what time you'll be home, then you can't be late
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die

Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and, you weep alone

Live for today for tomorrow never comes

Whether you think you can or can’t…you’re right

Always forgive your enemies - Nothing annoys them so much.

Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons because, to them, you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

If technology doesn’t seem like magic, it’s probably obsolete.

A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.

I enjoy the Facebook ones.

Random thoughts of mine:

- I have never been given the choice to eat venison. People always trick me into eating it and tell me afterwords that it wasn't steak.

- Two groups of people you can always make fun of while remaining politically correct: Nazis and Soviets. Or enemies of Indiana Jones in general.

- Adopted children must all be really disappointed on their eleventh birthday when Hagrid doesn't kick their door down.

- Life is so much more fun when ever noun is preceded by "Poké".

- Pokemon is glorified dogfighting. Michael Vick was an avid fan.

- I'm one of those guys who doesn't kiss the girl in the movie because can you please just wait a second it's the part where Anakin fights Obi-wan.

- I make excuses to myself when I add people on Facebook in case they ask why I added them. Nobody has ever asked me though.

- Guys should NEVER text guys with smiley faces. Unless they're into that sorta thing.

- I'm usually too tired to make food. I'm usually too tired because I haven't eaten. This is the way I will die.

- Earth is a sucky place to live. If you are outside for too long, your skin is cooked alive by radiation from a giant continuous explosion in space.

- Don't you all hate the guy who can make "You look beautiful when you sleep" not sound creepy?

- I'm not sure how to access the save/load features in life. I skipped the tutorial level.

- "How was your summer?" is a terrible conversation starter. It was good. Thanks, this conversation is already stale.

- Don't post about how bad your life is on Facebook. It's selfish. When was the last time you saw a dead guy post a depressing status update?

You're welcome.

actually, speaking of duct tape, does any one know of a way to make one strip of duct tape NOT sticky anymore?

And some duct tape is misleading, its not all duct tape. I have some rolls right next to me actually that are DUCK tape (reall). And I also have intertube tape... Duct tape is my love in this world.

-Who said the experts are right.

-Why does parallel parking give you a cricked neck.

-Why open other end? this end open fine.

-Why is it when you've open the tin meat pie you find the instructions are printed on the bottom of the tin.

-Why do kids always ask you what you are doing after watching you do it.

I wonder how fast i could throw this pen.

I wonder how much a new pen would cost.

Is consent needed if the act is nuetral.

We know thiers more to life than meets the eye, but how?

If it cant be taught, spelt or spoke then why is it so important?

I sat next to a man in a train station. The man never shut-up he talked about everything. The man then asked me how i want to die, i replied, die? now why would i do a thing like that? The man was puzzeled but carried on, he said in a confident tone when i die i want to take as many people with me, to which i replied, you have 6 minutes untill armed response arrives, go nuts. He looked at me like I was the one who was insane and moved on quitely.

-So sue me he procastenated, so i did.

If matter and energy can only be converted then will my memories live on in some form?

Morality cannot be truly defined, so we live how we see it.


Some late ponderings on simple matters that seem to snowball...
Such is my life...

oh the train station story,

4 minutes...

Perhaps since they can be improved, they must be failing in some way? For example, if you are improving an algorithm so that it runs faster, then it is failing to be as fast as it could be, and therefore you want to improve it?

Those all apply greatly to me. Everytime someone is done with a story I try to tell a better one. At my old job, it would be before I even walked in...."Im not going to do anything today". The TV one really applies to me. Everytime someone walks in and sits down, I just hand them the remote and say "im not watching this, watch what you want."

The Word one is the same only its with DbPro. :p

Yeah, i can relate to that. When that happens i forget if i have made any changes or not, that makes me get scared whether i should save it or not because what if i save it and it breaks the program, but what if i don't save it and it was important.

Lol, this was something that hit me a couple years back...

So I was charged with Minor in Possession - Tobacco. I go to court, they treat me as an adult. Makes me stop and think...well hell, while you're treating me as an adult, throw the charge out, if I was legally an adult, I wouldn't have been charged with it anyway...

The court thing amused me until the $20 ticket turned into about $120. They wouldn't let me waive my right to court

I know many people who would disagree on that one.

Here are some of mine:

-If there's nothing to watch on TV, why do we watch it?

-Why do all electric guitar players have to look emo?

-Why is there even a program announcements board? No one ever even finishes anything...furthermore, why the program announcements that are there all tools for making games? Is anyone going to make a game, or just more tools for games?

Nice. Here is a few I remember off the top of my head:-
1. When someone asks for the time you will always look at your wrist even if you know you are not wearing a watch
2. If someone asks you the name of the book you are reading at that moment you will always look to the front of the book before telling them. You don't know the book you are reading at that moment?
3. If someone asks for a pen you will pat down all pockets, even though you really know you don't have one on you
4. When a police car drives by you will automatically feel nervous for some unknown reason. I've noted this gets less and less as you get older (but never reduces when you are driving)

Quote: "Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles..."
Heh, nice. As an episode of Viz said (you will have to be British and probably >30 to get this) in their "Top Tips" section (look it up, is awesome) Pedos should swap their illegal grumble mag material for pictures of that bird out of the Krankies. She looks like a little kid but is actually a totally legal 60+ year old woman. Thats her husband in pic BTW (about twice her height)


Heh, talking of Viz they have an online version of Rogers Profanisaurus (epic rude dictionary that has been going for years) that gives random words out. Just got : apple grumble n. American tug pamphletry. Heheheh. Nice

Hahahah, too right. They should all die horribly, esp the ones who do it at rush hour on the back lanes. Along with the learner drivers. Grrr, if only we could swear in asterix form here!

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Because your in a car, that means your life is more important than anyone who would ride a bicycle! - yeah, cyclists hate you all, ever wonder who spits on your car roof when your not looking? - that's cyclists.

Anything smaller than a car is treated like crud on British roads, drivers hate cyclists because they clog up the road. Cyclists hate drivers because they park in cycle lanes. If drivers would stop taking up lanes designated for cyclists, then they wouldn't have to use the roads. Trust me, cyclists would rather not use the road, but a cycle lane becomes a parking spot as soon as it's convenient and nothing is ever done about it, except for the whole spitting on your roof thing.

You've boiled the population down to people who drive cars, and everyone else can die - are you Jeremy Clarkson by any chance?

Not really, after all they just bounced off my bonnet

Pretty much. It's also just a coincidence that I happen to drive a car at the moment. It's much like when I was a student I loved students. The second I wasn't, and esp when I got a job, students were all scum. I sleep fine at night, apart from last night when I had that weird dream about ducks...

If everything we don't normally eat tastes like chicken... why do we think chicken tastes good?

Here's a few on vegetarianism (a couple I asked my vegetarian uncle):

If you're vegetarian, does that mean you're able to eat couch potatoes?

Is there such thing as a vegetarian cannibal?

If vegetarians don't eat meat, then why do we get vegetarian meat? Surely that's a paradox?

Cattle are vegetarian therefore beef is vegetarian food.

Hmm...I never thought of it like that. Cows are really just made of grass.

I tend to always quote Bill Bailey and say, that, "I'm a post-modern vegetarian, as I eat meat ironically"

This was great. I shared it with my wife and she loved it, which is definitely a good review.

This is more of a quote, but I've made it my own...

- I don't hate you because you're ugly, you're ugly because I hate you.


Come see the WIP!

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks for the lulz.

This is me on a daily basis.

I've never seen one with a light. (Seriously, not once, ever)

-Never, ever lick a platypus.

-Always wear your seat belt.

-Indent your code. It'll make debugging easier!

-Why are the keys on a keyboard not in alphabetical order?

-I wish The Weather Channel was more interesting.

-When one finds a lack of self-motivation, the ironic thing is that they want to fix it but then don't have the motivation to do so.

-Cannibalism is not a social activity.



That's all I got...I'm tired, so not too many things are randomly shooting through my head...
