Random Thought Thread

And this is where the two mesh together.

 

@Cave Troll

You bring up Warhammer 40k a lot. Do you play the tabletop game? I used to love collecting and painting the models when I was younger but never actually played it. It seemed super complicated haha. I used to be into model trains too. So much fun! Some people's setups are mind-blowing.

 

No, I just like the Lore and stories of the universe.

 

I'm sunburned as hell because of my pale northern skin and I've never in my life been so sweaty, but two of the five bushes in front of my house are mostly gone. Got them down to just little stubby trunks. I am one with the chainsaw.

 

I was going to reference this but I've never seen it so I felt like a poser.

 

Dammit, aren't these animated gifs? My internet connection is so slow I have to wait like 5 minutes for every new page to load, so I didn't wait around to see. They're specifically called ANIMATED GIFS!!!

... or ARE they animated, and just taking forever to load for me???

 

Thinking about giving Curiosity Stream a go.

 

Watch university lectures instead. Actual content instead of producers trying to "woo" you.

 

Its about how you think and whether you consistently default to intuitive vs analytical thinking mode, and how easily you can interchange between the two.

Here’s a question.....would you drink a glass of your own saliva?

 

About every thirty seconds already.

 

Dennis Miller used to do a news parody segment on SNL. One time he said "The surgeon general has announced that researchers have found that saliva causes stomach cancer. But only if swallowed in small doses over a long period of time."

 

No, the answer must be black and white and more practical. I’ve decided the thought process when answering the question ‘can you afford it?’ is to consider whether or not the purchase would leave you in immediate (or lead to) financial difficulties. If the answer is no, then you can afford it.

 

Lit beyond recognition at the moment. I cannot comprehend Homer's financial wisdom, but it's probably legit.

I wonder how much of the ~$30 I paid for this Grey Goose goes towards the fancy-shmantzy bottle. Talk about a good freaking gig right there.

How many shots does it take to get to the center of Foxxx? The world may never know.

 

Ah, just like Hennessy. Bastards. At least Grey Goose has the courtesy to be good.

 

I read somewhere that almost all of the big-name vodka brands buy raw alcohol from unbranded mega-factories and tweak it until it meets their standards. Don't know if this is true of Grey Goose or not, but honestly how hard can vodka be?

 

I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW

that Grey Goose is distilled from French Wheat

in a "fine epicurean tradition" of "uncommon brilliance"...

EDIT: In seriousness, not speaking of Grey Goose here, but I've been to local distilleries and their shit was legit as Hell, at least. Wolfhead being one of them. But it wouldn't surprise me if mega-manufacturers have such a chamber of secrets.

Looks like I'm switching over to PR journalism. Any fucking smegma schlub could scrawl this fucking shit on the bottle. Jesus Christ, who falls for this crap? I just buy it because I like the aesthetic, I want to feel important, and I'm familiar with it now. Oh, and it WORKS (I am so fucked up right now, holy shit)

Not because I think wheat from the Parisian basin is superior to wheat grown elsewhere.

 

For me vodka is designed to make things that aren't into things that are alcoholic.

Like college girls.

But seriously, I only use it in mixed drinks, and once you've poured 10 ounces of tomato juice, some Worchestershire sauce, wasabi, all that crap for your Bloody Mary in you're just as well off using Stoli or Skyy or whatever the liquor store has on sale this week.

 

I found out the hard-way that Buffalo Wild Wings was cheating me on my Long Islands when I finally got two legit ones from a badass bar in my hometown and I was vomiting in their bathroom from how light-weight I was hard-core they were; had to leave my highschool reunion without saying goodbye to anyone, and needed to call my parents to pick me up after I tried to back out of the parking spot and realized there was a 99% chance I would kill myself + somebody else if I drove home.

Fucking premixes man. Ruining everybody's expectations. Turns out there's more than 2 shots of a mediocre alcohol in a true Long Island.

Thankfully, despite how royally screwed-up I was, I had the common sense to return my death-wagon to the place from whence it came, and called for my familial-Uber (for the first and only time ever, so far). I wasn't quite seeing double yet, which I've only seen once in my life and was an absolutely awesome trip (would vomit again), but I was done-zo. If I'd had just one more drink of anything, I would've been seeing like I was looking out the rim of my glasses.

For anybody else who this may concern, please note that even if you're in park and you're in the back-seat, if you have the keys in your ignition, you can and WILL be charged with drunk-driving. Even if you're using that to warm your car like I was. Do not, I repeat, do *not* ever have your keys in the ignition when you're under the influence (more than one singular 4% basic ass, run-of-the-mill beer).

My dad justifiably gave me a verbal Dwayne the Rock Johnson Smackdown when he came to pick me up with my mom. Because he loves me. And also doesn't want to pay that bail.

*This whole post probably applies to anybody who lives in the USA at least.

I was about 30 feet from my town's police station, which is literally right behind the bar I was at, mind you. I'm lucky as Hell to not have anything on my record to be honest. I was a freaking idiot lmao. But considering how much I personally know I drank, and in how little time, I'm not surprised whatsoever, except that God blessed me with enough common sense to use my phone-a-friend.
