Random Thought Thread

I have had 2 noteworthy, went-absolutely-nowhere crushes in my life.... one died, and the other is DEFINITELY not someone I would want to be around now. I realize i do not have a type. The one that died was a tatted up soldier of a different race than me. The other is a corporate business guy who is very religious and of the mindset that women should not rise higher than her man (cringe). I have known both since childhood, I was never friends with the latter, but we ended up at the same university...a PRIVATE university.... in a different state.... after like 5 years apart..... freaky

 

I love vegetables. Whole, fresh, crunchy, and bright with the power of sunshine.

If you want to make sure I never come to your house again, simples, crack open a can of Libby's diced garbage. That'll be the last you ever see of me. And if for whatever reason it's not the last you see of me, just brandish a container of Miracle Whip. That will defo do it!

 

The two I found myself looking at are no longer that interesting to me, so I hear you, haha.

 

I also hate boiled kale.

 

Apparently rubbing toothpaste on your glasses will remove scratches. Has anyone tried this?

 

I have never heard that, but apparently it works on headlights.
I would look more into it before using it on glasses lenses.

 

I've no idea about glasses, but it does help to dry out spots.

 

Spots of what, and on what?

 

The ones you get on your skin.

 

Now that brings back a funny memory. "Spots" is British English for what Americans call pimples or zits.

But when I was a kid and listening to Pink Floyd, I thought that the character who sang "In the Flesh" had finally and completely lost it and was accusing someone in the audience of looking like a leopard or something.

Spoiler: Video contains fascist imagery and lyrics

There's some racist and homophobic language in the lyrics of this song and the video depicts a Nuremberg-style rally in which a black person is assaulted. In the context of the album it's meant to be critical of these sorts of behaviors but might be distressing nonetheless.

Not photoshop, just a lot of tattoos:

 

TMW when you startle your lovebird and he flies off of your shoulder, and you ask him why he is so flighty and then realize (besides the absurdity of asking him anything) that he has just provided you with the perfect definition of and reason for the term "flighty" and you wonder why you never before associated the term with birds.

 

... Says the Tiger!

 

Nah, the album is from 1979, first AIDS patient was in San Francisco in 1980. It just means he's flipping out on some kid with zits. Also, I'm pretty sure the movie version was sung by Bob Geldof, who plays Pink in the film.

 

I had a random thought when I came in here but then I read everything everyone said and I don't remember what the thought was. My goodness me, I think I'm losing my mind a bit.

 

I wouldn't trust my glasses to toothpaste. The level of clarity required to transmit light from a bulb to the world outside is quite a bit lower than the level needed to receive the light bouncing off a newspaper or coming from a cell-phone screen. I was getting awful halos off my glasses once and my optician asked me if I'd been using tissue to polish them. Apparently it's possible for even the abrasion of the smashed wood fibers to micro-scratch and crater the surface of a plastic lens.

I've never tried it though, so if you do let me know how it goes.

 

Those pictures are like an optical illusion. It took me ages to work out what I was looking at. At first I thought it was some kind of albino bat!

 

You say that like no one’s ever mistaken a Landrover headlamp for an albino bat.

 

Apparently I have a type or two: serial cheaters and the unmedicated.
