What Are You Doing?

I’m buffing out the wife’s truck. She stripped off magnates she has had on there for over ten years. The paint oxidized around them.

 

Spoiler: These kind?

 

Nope. Autocorrect thought so, but she only had magnets. She loves that truck. She’s already planning to replace the engine rather than the truck- when the time comes.

 

Woman after me own heart

 

Oooh, ooh! I could do that maybe!

"Excuse me, sir, but Mr. P sez it's time for you to settle up and head home."

Spoiler

"Ohmygod, it's Edgar Winter! Dude, can I have your autograph?"

<sigh>"If it'll get you out the door quietly, sure..."

 

Having a seizure and loving it. Pen hand frozen, other hand wriggles paper. Good exercise for toes and nyk.

 

Trying to wrap my head around something I just heard in an ad on Pandora and having a hard time with it. My brain might have sorted it out after a bit, but at first, it sounded like the guy said "reptile dysfunction", it would be really weird if that's what the ad actually said, but the ad was talking about a 'dysfunction' that really exists in medicine. But we are not getting into that area of medicine.

On another but possibly related note; aside from my joke attempt about pterodactyls, there is another thing that has reptiles in my mind. In the Sunday session of D&D that I play in locally, My character seems to have made friends with a pseudo-dragon who has decided to sit on his shoulder(s) when it's not an issue to the action at hand.

For those who know a bit about D&D (or care about this topic) go check out the first few paragraphs of chapter 1 of On Basilisk Station by David Weber, or read a bit about 'fire lizards' in Anne McCaffrey's stories about Pernese dragons. On the other hand, you could just get the idea from these pics:

 

Feeling better, so it's time for some fun. Skydiving time! Woot! Friends are nervous, but please, it only hurts if you hit the ground. Avoid that an all is well and fun.

Afterward, should I not become one with the earth, I'll drag the crew of weirdos for tacos. Woke up in the mood for tacos. Weird that, but eh.

 

So then you avoid pain by levitating for the rest of your life? It's the only way I can think of to avoid hitting the ground, depending, of course, on your definition of "hitting". To me, hitting the ground is done by my feet many times as I walk to the places that I go to on foot.

BTW, while some say that it's not the fall that does damage, but the sudden stop at the bottom, I beg to differ, the sudden stop would be harmless if all of your body stopped at the same time. It's the fact that the parts of the body that hit first stopping while other parts keep moving at a speed only somewhat reduced by the change of speed that the leading parts go through.

 

One like for the post that came from and no visible comments. Does that mean that my comment was too weird or are there suffers of "reptile dysfunction" out there?

Anyone who suffers from Reptile Dysfunction should not be afraid or ashamed to speak up! First please say what sort of reptile you have. Is it a snake, a lizard, a turtle/tortoise, (I think I covered all the bases, but I'm not an expert by far) or some other sort of reptile. As a community, it's possible that we may find a way to raise funds for research in the area, that is if such research isn't already being done.

I for one would hate to see an outbreak of dysfunctional geckos here in Florida, just consider the bug problem we would have if there was one.

I can just see slogans like: "Do you have a pet or friend that's a reptile? Join the fight against reptile dysfunction, donate to the Friends of Reptiles at 'makeupaurl.com' today! Remember, your bearded dragon could be next."

 

No-one shall forgive you for the dinosaur joke. It actually ruined my morning.

 

If you shift a bit and get your portion from the lower or back half of the bird you might have better luck. While the leg (often called the drumstick) has all those small bones to sort out its meat, and meat of the thigh are usually juicer as well as being easy to chew. and then there's the skin, unless it doesn't get browned nicely it's quite a treat.

 

To be clear pterodactyls are not actually dinosaurs, but like the pterodactyls, it seems that the post with that joke is extinct. Was there something about it that was outside the rules?

 

Not at all. Fluffy-head just likes to mess with bipeds.
We have something called The Forum Daily Five, where score is kept to be certain that potty, fucking, drinkung, drugs? Swearing? Barfing?
Somebody help me out here?

 

It turns out that the joke (even if it was pterrible) was posted in another thread.

 

After some searches, I was able to find it in the thread that I actually posted it in.

 

It was the 'dinosaur' comment that had me thinking that I must have posted it here.

Guys and ladies, please help an old codger avoid being confused, if you are going to refer to a post of his that was made someplace else include where along with the comment on it.

 

'reply' usually includes a link (tiny arrow).

 

Skydiving. Man. If anyone is thinking of trying it - do it. Holy shit the freedom of the sky is amazing. I found myself envious of birds for a moment.
