Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[Mupepe]

yeah some people are but most aren't.  and i'm not one to usually harp on weight since i'm a bit overweight but it was her attitude.  pissed me off.

nice article.  reading now.  i have ammo now for my brother's dbag vegan friends too

[Brehvolution]

i met a fat vegan the other day who was telling me how i'd be so much healthier if i was vegan.  if we didn't work in the same company i would have asked if that's why she was so overweight

Because all those veggies are coated with ranch.

Did she have vegan powers? You should have gave her whole milk.

i wanted to make a scott pilgrim joke but i couldn't fit it in

[lennedsay]

Didn't some douchebag vegans force their vegan ways onto their infant and it died?

Also, my buddy got shingles because of a lack of B12. His band wrote a song about it. He was still some sort of vegan/vegetarian the last time I talked to him though.

And salad dressing.... I guarantee it has some sort of animal product or byproduct in it. A lot of Italian and vinegar-type dressings are anchovy based, and ranch must have some kind of milk/half&half for it to be creamy like that.

Got a gig working at a latin music festival that a beer company is doing at the end of this month, it pays by the day and they buy me dinner, gotta be at the stadium tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.

It kind of sucks because it means that my social life is dead for the month but whatever I need a new pc.

Will do when it's done tomorrow. I haven't shared pics with The Bore in a while, so if you're not on my Facebook list you've been in the dark on the construction.

as a white person i apologize for vegans

[Mr. Gundam]

Me too.

One of my good friends is a Vegan, and she's really calm and non-militant, but most I've run into are awful.

[Madrun Badrun]

OK turns out that line algorithm I was trying to do was non-trivial.  I don't feel so dumb now.

[Diunx]

So the is a Krispy Kreme opening up in 4 days and there is a burguer king next to it, me and my drunk friends were eating at bk and noticed that there were a bucnh of employees from KK leaving with boxes full of donuts, we approached one of them and offer to buy him one of the boxes, he agreed and now I'm about to trow up from eating too many donuts.

[recursivelyenumerable]

[Diunx]

hmmm, I think I'll buy some burger patties tomorrow

[Groogrux]

That looks appetizing in no way whatsoever.

[Edit] And I'm a fat guy.  We eat all kinds of messed up shit.

[Akala]

I had all sorts of stuff to do today, but have been wasting time reading up on McMansions and the rising backlash.

Doxygen is kind of cool.

Had to work a booth at the Heritage Festival all day, for my job. Who goes to a festival/parade and wants to visit a dental booth smh

I got there and it was lightly raining, then it started pouring. Every canopy had a rain flap/sides except ours, so I wound up having to take everything down while getting soaked. Luckily some other folks showed up and brought some flaps.

Weirdest thing that happened: a crazy looking redneck (mom, dad, little girl, grandma) white family came up to the booth to get free packages (including toothbrush/floss/tooth paste) and sign up for a raffle we were having. One of the hygienists brought her daughter, who was doing face painting for all the kids that came by. The hygienist asked the redneck mom if her daughter wanted to be facepainted and the mom whispered "no she can't. She has syphilis." I shit you not. The girl looked maybe 5 years old, and seemed like the only normal person in the family (mom had no front teeth, dad had tatoos all over his arms, grandma looked stoned or some shit).

Those are some great pictures!

That reminds me of when I went on my honeymoon. Some of my favorite parts were when me and the misses were out exploring the wilderness and climbing mountains just taking in the natural beauty. One of the best moments was when me and the wife had to take refuge in a shinto temple because of a bad rainstorm. Sitting there in each other's embrace smelling the incense and watching deer under the rain with a breathtaking view of the ocean was a pretty spectacular moment.

Very beautiful moment and memory. The experience of hiking on unknown paths and just living in the moment, taking in ones surroundings is a very wonderful experience. One of the reasons I've found that the act of taking a photograph has become more fulfilling to me than the end product.

Oh. Well that would have been romantic too. I'd love to fuck right out in the middle of a field. Bend her ass over, slap her tits around...

I won't have internet for a while. I just moved into my new place in Orlando and internet currently isn't a priority. I went to the office yesterday and I have an awesome spacious desk and the most powerful mac available for my use. It rocks. It's a spacious place too. My car is busted and I'm saving up for a new car but for now I'm relying on PT.

Ooh post pics!

I haven't shared pics of the basement with the Bore in a while. Here's where we are at the moment.


The staircase leading from the main floor into the basement.


Pantry area at the bottom of the stairs. We have a pair of French door that will be on sliders.


Hallway leading to the garage (big opening on the right), bathroom (door straight ahead) and the rec room (to the right of the bathroom door).


Laundry/utility closet. There will be three two-panel doors on sliders here.


The back wall of the rec room.


Another shot of the rec room.

We'll be doing a big run to the dump tomorrow, and then start tiling the hallway floor and bathroom while waiting for the carpet to be installed in the rec room and on the stairs.

[bork]

Distant are you moving your laundry machine and making a pantry down there to save some space upstairs, or turning the basement into a mini-apartment of sorts?

[Mr. Gundam]

This isn't going to be an apartment. We've got an old brick house and need the extra space. Previously, our pantry was on the back of a door and sitting on the floor where we've actually built a pantry that will have shelves in it. The washer and dryer were already in the basement, but we're stacking them and putting them in a closet next to the water tank.

This is what the basement used to look like:


The rec room. Our furnace used to be in the middle of this room, but we got a new (smaller) one and put it in the garage.

The pantry area.

[bork]

Wait, sorry- so two pantries?  Seems like it would be kind of annoying to go to the basement every time you want to get some food from there...

I say this now without kids, but I don't know if I'm ever going to want a house.  Would rather have a spacious apartment/condo.

[Mr. Gundam]

No, just one pantry. We don't have room for one anywhere else (which is why we had shelves on the back the basement door previously), so we built one in the basement. I own an old brick tutor that was built in 1932 and not designed for modern needs.



I love being a homeowner, honestly. I built a concrete patio a couple summers back, take pride working in the yard and renovating the basement has been a blast.

[lennedsay]

Holy hell man! You've gotten a lot of work done!

Makes our basement seem daunting. It's about as big as our entire house and was finished at one point.... It's pretty intimidating just thinking about getting down there, fixing all the shitty work, fixing the leaks (and hoping we found them all), and refinishing at least 1300 square feet of space. I tried sweeping down there the other day but there was a spider... We've been scraping by as far as laundry goes because I'm scared to go back down there....  :'(

It was a fucking huge spider ok!!!!

[Mr. Gundam]

We've had some HUGE spiders lately in the basement. The poor things seemed totally confused, so I scoop 'em up and then put them in the neighbors' yard.

Yeah, I can see that.  My folks have done a LOT to their house over the years (indoor patio, adding extra bathrooms to the upstairs, redoing the kitchen entirely, etc. although the basement is still YUCK; sucked for my brother and I as kids since the previous family house we were in had this massive finished basement) but I think the housing I'm attracted to is NEW NEW NEW and modern.  One of my friends just moved into a brand-new townhouse.  It's quite spacious to the point that they have a few rooms with nothing in them yet!  I could go for a place like that I guess. 

I like your house.  Looks very cozy.     The secret underground lair you are constructing is gonna be awesome for sure!

Fuckkk same here, only they're so big my usual kill-them-with-hair-spray doesn't even kill them!!! One got in the sink and I drowned him, and I let the sink drain IT WAS SO BIG IT GOT STUCK!!!! fffffuuuuuuu

I'd feel bad for killing them but seriously they're all over the yard too, every time I'm out there, and they're always sneaking up on me in the house.  :'(

[Mandark]

The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack was canceled, the world officially sucks!

Aw, seriously?  I know at least one person who's going to be completely bummed out.

[Brehvolution]

Awesome work, Mr. Gundam. 

[Mupepe]

I've been at work for an hour and a half.  A woman just pointed out that my shirt was on backwards.  fml

[Madrun Badrun]

Put your pants on backwards and then tell her to deal with it as you put on you shades backwards.

[Mupepe]

hm.  i didn't think of that.  i already ran to the bathroom and switched it around.  i knew something looked off when i looked in the mirror this morning.  i need to stop drinking.

[tiesto]

I am not a club person and yet went to one yesterday (for my sisters birthday). Place was FILLED with Asians, holy shit. Short Asians, tall Asians, chunky Asians, skinny Asians and some really, really hot Asians. One (that looked like she was 18 or 19) was giving a lap dance for this middle aged looking Asian dude. It was weird cause she kept bumping her ass and legs into my knees, I wanted no part of this shit, dude could have been Yakuza and shit I don't know.

Late in replying to this... but was this club called Pacha NYC perchance???

The Tims lady spilt some of the syrup on the rim of my ice cap container.  It got in my beard, and now my beard is like Kosma's penis; stiff and sticky, and needs a good washing.

[The Fake Shemp]

I got off the horn (two hours, ugh!) after turning in my first draft, still waiting for budget estimates that will probably come in this weekend. A lot of notes were expected, and a lot the criticism was stuff I was already battling. Between streamlining some set pieces, consolidating two characters into one and addressing a lot of the constructive stuff - the second draft is going to a LOT better, I think. Certainly a lot funnier, which is probably necessary.

[muckhole]

Excellent. Must be fairly nerve-wracking now that the ball is really rolling.

Check your email when you get a second too, please.

[The Fake Shemp]

Can resend it? It got lost on my phone when I was at the beach house in North Carolina.

Edit.

Vagabond Brob continues his couch surfing; after a heated debate over me using the 'nice' toiletpaper came to blows I have now moved on to a new couch. This couch is situated downtown so I don't have to pay out the ass every morning trying to get to school, but I've only known the dude for two days so he might up and stab me when I'm sleeping, who knows... Regardless, trying to find an appartment is a huge bummer. way too many people in my position driving the prices up far beyond what I can pay and what they're worth seeing as they're all extremely shitty.

[Madrun Badrun]

Mines on campus so half the employees are hot uni chicks.  The rest seem to be 30-40's asian women for some reason.  They are all nice though.
