Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[Madrun Badrun]

Getting an extra $1000 from the compsci department for getting the NSERC.  That's $9500 for 4 months work. 

Also talked to a hot chick while walking Nami.

me

[CajoleJuice]

Did you get her number?

[lennedsay]

I think we all know the answer to that.

Please prove me wrong.

[Joe Molotov]

Nami humped her leg, got more action than Father_Mike ever will.

[Madrun Badrun]

Did you get her number?

pfff by talk I meant I said more than three words to her and less than twenty.  Don't take this achievement away from me Juice!

It's ok, I was beating myself up for not getting some hot girl's number a few weekends ago while waiting for a train in Penn Station.



The next weekend, someone asked me if I spoke English before asking if I had change for a $5.

[cool breeze]

It's ok.  Last week I was copying something at the library when someone asked if I had change.  I was distracted and said "sorry I don't carry money," which was a clear lie because I was pulling a dollar bill out of my wallet to insert into the copier.

[Diunx]

Should have got her name and facebook stalk her FM.

Get out of the country and into the city!

Beaumont sucks. Blame your family for living in fucking Beaumont. You can't complain when you're in the sticks.

[fistfulofmetal]

I fucking left my phone on the bus yesterday :X

but in the end it's not too bad since it was up for upgrade and i ordered an HTC Thunderbolt

[Himu]

Anyone use godaddy? I see 4.99 for pretty fucking good hosting for what I need and so I add to cart and go to checkout. It's three months at once? I can't just sign up for hosting and then pay by the month? I have to pay for all three months at once? It's not an issue of money, but I'm surprised it isn't an option.

[Maximus]

Do you enjoy murdering elephants?
For every Go Daddy subscription their CEO shoots another elephant and feeds it to villagers wearing Go Daddy caps

Wow, I missed that somehow.

What a dick.

The egg area in whole foods is completely baffling.  cage-free eggs are next to organic eggs, but a bullet point on organic-eggs is 'cage-free'.  Then there is pastured, but in a barn, which didn't make sense.  And then some of white and others are brown, with no real rhyme or reason to it.  Some are vegetarian fed animal eggs.  the only sound differences was the pricing, which ranged from three dollars to double that.

Then I saw some old guy switching eggs between the cartons and ruined whatever system there was.

[Madrun Badrun]

Just sit down and start counting them.  It's your only option at this point.

'Pastured, but in a barn' is a common scam for other animals as well. It basically means a barn with a fenced in pasture area attached. It's like a prison yard and apparently is pretty meaningless in terms of the animals' health.

If you are going to spend extra money, it should be on 'non-vegetarian' eggs, for two reasons:

- chickens are supposed to eat bugs, not corn. If they eat anything else, they get sick, which leads to bad quality eggs (a huge simplification but you can look it up if you want more details...)

- 'non-vegetarian' anything is just obviously better

i'm worried that I'm getting carpal tunnel in my left arm

I am working on my senior project, and its about 60+ pages, and so my typing has been heavy lately. My left hand si also my WASD hand, and WASD has never felt comfortable to me.

/whine

[Himu]

why are you worried you're getting carpal tunnel? what are the signs?

yeah, it seemed deliberately confusing.  I'm fine with paying if there was an honest 'I pay for good quality' deal, but I was just lost.  This is the same store that has organic strawberries at $5 and regular strawberries at $2.50 on the same stand. 

I looked online based on others' recommendations to find ways/places to buy from farmers.  Farmers market and the like are more out of the way but I'll check it out.  I don't know why I suddenly decided to search out for this stuff now but hopefully there is a decently convenient place.

Graduation party was today, and I met more cousins - and some good looking ones. First decent black chicks I've seen in Texas. There were some hot white chicks there too

Crawfish=ehh meh. It's good, but way too much work goes into getting such a small amount of meat. There were 2000 pounds of the stuff at the party. On the plus side, I had the best ribs I've ever had.

What restaurants should I go to? I really feel like I've wasted this week here, doing the same thing every day (head to the matriarch grandma and grandpa place, meet family, sit around and eat). There's a Whataburger and Jack In The Box within 5 minutes of where I'm staying

[Madrun Badrun]

ITT: PD scopes out his cousins and admits to liking his meat easy.

[Phoenix Dark]

They're like 2nd cousins or something. Nothing wrong with determining who's fine, especially after being surrounded by heffers all week.

[Himu]

Well, my site is live and working (somewhat).

It came with these files in the ftp:



Can I delete these?

Now time to work on my design!

GO TO FUCKING WHATABURGER AND ORDER A NUMBER 1.

[Phoenix Dark]

Do they have good fries/onion rings/etc too?

[Himu]

JUST GO.

They are open 24 hours. JUST GO.

[Phoenix Dark]

fuck I'm tired, I was doing stuff all day. I'll go tomorrow

Oh, another shitty thing about crawfish: you could probably eat 10 pounds of that stuff and not be full at all. I ate a whole lot, mainly because the BBQ wasn't finished yet. You get a bit of the tail and that's about it. Some people were sucking everything out. Ehhh, I wasn't fucking with the heads

Another side note: I've seen so many mixed little kids running around it's crazy. My mom's cousin told me a lot of black guys chase after the white chicks in town and totally ignore the black chicks; I can believe that, given how overweight they are. I must have run into about 12 mixed kids at the party ranging from 1-7 years old. Moms nowhere in sight, being raised by their grandmothers.

[Himu]

damn.

beaumont

PD deserves to experience Houston.

And yeah, I told ya. Crawfish is aight and nothing more. There's so much better seafood in the south that I never understood why people cherish crawfish so much.

[etiolate]

my uncle used to fish for crawfish and bring it home

i think its popular via its abundance and ease of acquirement

[muckhole]

The family's seasonal business is officially open. Time for a nap!

Also, my back is sore. Who's rubbin'?

[Himu]

I am!

I never remember my dreams, but I vividly remember last night's. Yesterday was my childhood friend's graduation. Couldn't make it. She was my first love and now she acts like we're practically not even brother and sister. She ignores my calls and texts and she only contacts me if something good happened to her, and in this case it was her graduating from grad school.

I'd be dishonest if I said I still don't love this chick, but I definitely feel something. So it hurts being treated like this so I just ignore it because I know it'll never be anything more than this ever again.

So I have three dreams of her in a row last night. I try to not think about her anymore, especially after the way she has treated me, so why the fuck am I having tragic Shakespearean dreams of her?

[Barry Egan]

ugh im so broke

[Phoenix Dark]

Whataburger was good not great. Definitely didn't taste like fast food, which was a major plus.

[Herr Mafflard]

why does Word default to Calibri font?

I would write something and look up and see an ugly wall of text, so annoying

[cool breeze]

I was just urinating and got this crazy urge to go bowling, then thought that I should post about it.


this is why I don't have twitter

Is it bad/cheap to buy pieces of a suit from a casual-wear retailer?  I was gonna pick up a jacket and pants from Express this evening provided it fits well and I don't intend on having it tailored.  Should I just spend the extra money and have it professionally fitted?

[Mupepe]

not great?  What did you order?  The beauty of a whatburger is the non fast food taste and the customizing of the burger. hell, the commercials advertise that there's like 10,000 ways to make a whataburger or some shit.  But you gotta experiment and find what you like.  Ordering a double whataburger with 3 slices of cheese, double bacon, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled jalapenos, mayo, ketchup and mustard with a chocolate shake and fries is where it's at.

[Phoenix Dark]

I just got a large #1 like Himu suggested.

Anyway I'm at Jefferson airport in Beaumont, flying to Houston. Should be in Detroit around 9pm

[Himu]

You got a number 1 without customizing it?

Between my Castro hat and the beard I'm growing I really need to drop my favorite color, that being red. I don't want people even more suspicious of me.

[T234]

Around these parts, people would be very suspicious of you regardless of whatever shirt you were wearing.

[Himu]

Good point.

[T234]

Truth to be told, the black people here would be suspicious of you. Black people in town are uncomfortable dealing with out of towners because there was a black DEA agent who moved here from out of state a few years back and busted the biggest black drug dealer this town has ever known.

[Groogrux]

I've been working in Emergency Medicine for over two years now. I've seen a lot of nasty stuff. I say that so that you fully understand the severity of what I'm about to say next. The things I found hidden, ground up, mashed, poured, and sludged in my kids floor turned my stomach.

 We're talking I just used vinegar, lysol, and carpet powder on it and it's not enough. I'm going to spend the next few minutes on Craigslist looking for a priest and a nuclear bomb.

If you got the time before your event or whatever, check out studiosuits.com
Great hand craftsmanship and inexpensive! (made in India) Great customer service too. It's where I got the suit you see in my wedding pictures. They have you take a ridiculous amount of measurements so it fits perfect.

That reminds me of an idea I had for a start-up: use Kinect to quickly take 3D measurements and email to India to make suits.

Shouldn't be hard.  Two guys who work in the medical industry have already used Kinect in conjunction with a radiology program to read xrays, mri's, and ct's all hands-free.  The benefit?  Ask a surgeon in the middle of a procedure and they'll tell you.

You didn't say shit about customizing!

Texas was cool. Bummed I spent the entire week in the country, but everyone I met was very nice and I had a good time. The food was amazing. On Sunday we had a huge fish fry as well as fried green tomatoes, some awesome/spicy squash dish, gumbo, peach cobbler, greens, and some other stuff. And frog legs, which tasted exactly like chicken  

Seems like everyone in the country owned a four wheeler/ATV and we rode them around some nice trails.

I'm still a bit shocked at just how overweight nearly everyone in the family was. We spend most of the day at my grandma's brother's house (which was basically the family hub), and we spent the nights at my mom's cousin's house. He's easily the biggest person I've ever seen irl, well over 400 pounds it seemed. As I said earlier his house was decked out with HDTVs, computers, etc - and he had a shit ton of snacks and fatty foods while talking about how he's trying to lose weight. Dude had a huge bag of gummy bears on his kitchen table, just there. I've never seen something like that lol

A few of the men were of average weight, but something like 95% of the females were obese. I shouldn't be surprised given the fried diets, but still good lord. During the graduation party they were using big ass cardboard box tops as plates for the crawfish; the cook would plop a huge shovel full onto the "plate" alongside small red potatoes and sausage. Whenever dessert was served, it was gone within 10 minutes; I got one small piece of peach cobbler before they ate it all up

I have a migraine.  It sucks and using me eyes hurts but I'm bored of trying to sleep.

Oh man SS is great. It's the old standby in my circle. A bit sweet/citrus, real earthy, great taste. It's a pretty clear high but strong. The wifey and I, I'm pretty sure, only got through a bowl all night. We've been smoking lower grade shit for a bit so our tolerance is probably down a bit. Great body high and mucho euphoria.

Damn nicca, did you go to weed college or something?
