Miscellany

[lisarea]

• I switched my mouse to the left of the keyboard. Am I cool now?
• I'm trying to decide whether I should buy some milk.
• PolyHeme. Pissing me off but good.
• The other day, I go to scratch my butt, and there's this giant hole in my pants. I had to buy new ones! So my butt would not come all the way out!
• Four Science Fellows in "Fellow Against Fellow!"

I'm going to need to, because the last half-pint in the house just shut out my nose.

Our milk comes in litre bags, it's kinda weird.

Are you left-handed?

Gonna be if I don't stop using my right arm some for a while. It's gone all numb and tingly, and I can't do stuff with it very good, but I have two bigassed projects and a mediumassed project I gotta do or else I'll be poor. Which is like not having any arms at all.

Oh, YEAH? Well, mine are in TWO LITER BAGS!

You might even call them jugs.

[Legs]

a jug is not a bag

We have a bag that contains 3 x 1L bags.

I'm gonna email PETA with this one.

[LadyShea]

Were the reviews helpful to you in deciding whether to buy milk?

[JoeP]

lisa*ea, having tingly arms and possibly long-term injury is cool. Scratching your butt is cool! Having a hole in your pants is cool, too.

Of course, all of them would be more cool for guys, but hey.

Breezy!

Only if you also reversed the buttons.

I was going to, but I read some thing where this person was recommending trying it with the buttons the same, so I'm trying it that way for now.

In other news, the mystery vegetable growing out of my compost pile is almost definitely PUMPKINS.

That can only mean one thing. You're Cinderella

I have had that very same thing happen to me. Turned out I had put my pants on backwards and left the fly open. I hate it when that happens.

And where were you, Preacher Man, when I was buying those new pants? DAMMIT. NOW I HAVE TOO MANY PANTS.

OK. But I want to say something about those pants. I got them at Target, and they are "Levi Signature" or whatever, which I later come to find out are the kind of pants Levis had to make because of WALMART. Which is why they sucked.

Plus, they're designed to be really tight, so I got a too big of size because I don't like that, and then when I went back and got the correlating real Levis to replace the WALMART kind of pants that ran like some pair of pantyhose or whatever, the too big of size is actually so big that I have to be hiking them up all the time.

And THAT is why I am an atheist.

I can see how an experience like that would tend to undermine your faith in Sam Walton.

Unfortunately, not in the fitting room with you. I could have saved you some embarrassment. Or not.

You do raise an interesting theological question. Can one truly ever have too many pants?

Pfff. To be really cool you use it upside-down.

[Puck]

Oh damn, I'm such a nudge Stormlight, 'cause I actually tried it.

Up and down was easy, but I goobered up left and right...

Does that make me half cool? Or just a goof ball?

We had tomatoes growing where the septic tank overflowed during the winter. I wonder who would plant tomato seeds there.

"You try 'em."

"No, you try 'em."

"I know, get Mikey, he doesn't like anything."

Mikey ate them. Than he died.

Just kidding, there's no Mikey.

I really like the word "miscellany". I like saying it out loud. Miscellany. Miscellany.

[viscousmemories]

I spent a good part of the last week boxing things up, disposing of a few bulky things and cleaning the house top to bottom in preparation for a 10 minute walk-through this morning by the realtor who's helping the landlord sell the house. Now nobody will ever know how I really live!

The only excercise I've been getting for a few months now is 30 minutes a day on an elliptical machine, but it done broke (see bulky items reference above).

[Crumb]

Buy a jump rope. They are much cheaper to replace when they break.
