Already? I'm convinced it's a conspiracy by The National Pie Association to get people to buy gross pies. Does it count if I'm at work and filling a prescription and if it's for a maintenance medication (cholesterol, high blood pressure) and there's only one pill left in the bottle I just give it to them? WHO PUTS A BOTTLE BACK WITH ONE PILL? Psychos, that's who.
Re: Bye, bye Miss American Pie Yeah really. I mean, if we're talking cow pies or moon pies, yeah I can see the problem...but real eat-able pies come from delicious. Cherry pie is good, apple pie is good, pecan pie...Mmmmm, pecan pie. There are so many good pies.
There is one that rises above the rest: Warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. OMG. I'm stopping at the store on my way home. Come on, IT'S PIE DAY.
The company "holiday" party is tonight. Booze is scheduled to start flowing at about 6 pm and there will be a "comedic hypnotist" at 9 pm. We'll see how that will go... last year one of the guys on my team was removed from the place by cops so it could be pretty fun.
The USPS. A model of efficiency. (Bear in mind I live in Las Vegas) Departed USPS Facility 2015-01-23, 08:05:00, GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49512 Arrived at USPS Facility 2015-01-23, 01:17:00, GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49512 Departed USPS Facility 2015-01-21, 18:09:00, SPOKANE, WA 99224 Arrived at USPS Facility 2015-01-21, 14:09:00, SPOKANE, WA 99224 Departed USPS Facility 2015-01-16, 23:48:00, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94128 Arrived at USPS Facility 2015-01-16, 23:30:00, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94128 Processed Through Sort Facility 2015-01-16, 03:36:00, ISC SAN FRANCISCO (USPS) I wonder where it's headed next?
Has anyone ever been a participant in one of those? Everyone is faking right? They have to be faking.
I have just found something so incredibly ignorant that I had to share it with someone, and since i happened to be here, you guys are the winners. This is quite literally the stupidest thing I have EVER seen. It's downright horrifying that this person has crotch spawn. http://www.modernalternativemama.com/blog/2009/12/13/germ-theory.html
No, but I wonder now what a person could do while "hypnotized" and get away with it because I (I mean, they) were "hypnotized"? Does that argument stand in court?
Spoiler I live in Spokane, and can say, with some certainty, that it is not between San Francisco and Vegas in any normal path of travel. All I can say is Godspeed and safe travels to that package, wherever your journey may take you.
That gif doesn't even begin to describe it. I only got a few paragraphs in and was like wow, cant read anymore of this.
When I was in college, I saw this guy, Tom DeLuca several times. He was highly entertaining. I am a big skeptic, and I assumed everyone was faking. Then, my senior year, I was at a fraternity conference with a similar performer. (Can't remember his name.) My buddies insisted I get picked and I ended up on stage in front of several hundred people. Hypnotized. I was not faking. But, you do have to be willing to just let it go. The best way I can describe it is this: you know how every now and then, you take one of those daytime naps, where the blankets are just right, and maybe the sun's coming in a little, and when you wake up, you have no idea if the clock reading 6:00 is am or pm? And, you feel fantastic and rested and just ahhhhhh? Well, that's how you feel afterwards. During, I basically just felt like I had absolutely no inhibitions. None. I sang John Denver's Grandma's Featherbed to that whole crowd, which I NEVER would've done otherwise. But, I nailed that mofo resulting in huge applause. That was about the only individual thing I remember. The other stuff was group things, arm raising "you're cold!" "you're hot!" "you're naked!" and stuff like that. No hesitations to just believe whatever he was saying was true. I have no idea how it "works," and what Penn & Teller said is probably correct. I mean, you don't suddenly have the ability to fly or anything (well, I didn't), but the power of suggestion? Like, if he told me "you're flying" I would've believed 100% "oh, shit, I'm flying." ETA: Holy crap. Tom DeLuca is still performing! I saw him when I was in college in the late 80's. Geez.
It's Australia Day long weekend here. It means one of the best and biggest music countdowns in the world, copious amounts of alcohol and drunken idiots everywhere. It's also the day I have historically ended up doing some of the stupidest drunkest things I've ever done in my life. Last year we ended up with a hole in my wall from an elbow and my feet shredded from oysters after paddling across a creek which sharks have been known to inhabit, a few years ago I tried to play with a Taipan in my drunken stupor, yes I am an idiot. This year shouldn't be as bad but who knows. For the music lovers out there save this link for Monday 12pm EDST. Triple J Hottest 100 2014
I'm finally home and have a three-day weekend. Thank God. Wine is open and there's a purring kitty on my lap. I made the mistake of buying Thin Mints and Tagalongs. These little bits of crack are my kryptonite!
Oh yeah, well, right now yours truly is cutting out paper dresses for my daughter's paper dolls. And I'm drinking non-light beer straight out of the bottle.. No fucking around.
