Today I bought cheesy garlic bread flavored chips. Pretty soon we won't even be buying food, just different kinds of chips.
Made it to London yesterday, holy hell, it took 15 hours of travel, door to door. Great hotel room, though, and heading to Hampton Court this afternoon for a rooftop tour. That should be awesome. It was weird waking up and not having to take the dog for a three mile walk. Very weird. I miss that retard, but I'm sure she's having fun at the Pet Smart Hotel with her doggie friends.
So after seeing the first couple pages of this thread, my friday night consisted of watching documentaries about fat people, including the fattest woman in the world, who happened to be on trial for murder.
This is a new low in anti-intellectualism. http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php ...apparently Thomas Dolby is a member. That's right, the guy who sang "She Blinded me with Science" thinks the earth is flat.
Please. If the earth was round we would all fall off. Hello, McFly, HELLO. Some things hurt my soul. The chairman of the House subcommittee on Science is a climate denier. And a creationist. If I had tears left I'd cry.
From one of the articles linked within that site: There is continuous stream video of the space shuttle lifting off (actually many, many videos) so you can see the globe-earth and there are live stream videos taken from the ISS orbiting the earth. Does he think these are all faked? Wow, just wow that there are that many members of the Flat Earth Society. Surely, they're all just trolling, right?
I think I just interrupted a guy trying to shoot up in his car while I was walking my dog. Really weird way to start the day.
You have another member of your "science committee" who said and I quote ....he's a doctor. Another doctor on your "science committee" says he's looked at ultrasounds and seen fetuses masturbating. Explain this, because it feels like I'm watching It's Always Sunny In America. I love the people who believe the moon, along with the sun, is a cosmic light put in the sky for us. No, not the sun reflecting of the surface OF said moon, but a nightlite. These people HAVE seen the moon in the day, haven't they? When it's a crescent, is that mean the moon is sleepy? And when it's at half that must mean Defendor is out.
Congress' approval rate is at 19%. Still, STILL, they get enough votes to keep their seats. That is hilarious. *gun in mouth* Also, since we didn't play up Friday the 13th one bit yesterday, here is a touching story about a wayward young man who built a rape dungeon and planned to kidnap children, rape them, murder them, then eat them. <a class="postlink" href="http://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/12/justice/cannibal-eat-children-case/index.html?hpt=hp_t3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://edition.cnn.com/2013/09/12/justi ... ?hpt=hp_t3</a>
Several years ago I went to a random GP because mine moved out of state. I had some nerve and funky sensation stuff going on for a while (like the better part of a year) and thought that maybe I should just ask someone if it was anything to be worried about or just an overstretched nerve/heat sensitivity. This is the following conversation we had after talking about my symptoms: GP: "Well, what do YOU think is going on?" Me: "I have no idea. That's why I'm here to see you." (Duh) GP: "What's your relationship with God? Do you go to church?" Me: "Um, what?" GP: "I read your chart with Dr. B. Why are you such a perfectionist?" (cue my feeling really confused since I saw Dr. B sporadically for sinus infections, colds and knee and back injuries. It's not like I was a chronic pain patient or had any mental health history. I probably saw him 1-2x a year since I was 13, and we never talked about God, my alleged perfectionism or anything remotely close to spirituality.) Me: "I feel a little uncomfortable with this conversation. I came here for medical advice." GP: "I really feel like this is a manifestation of stress and if you work on your relationship with God it will go away." Me: "........" dumbfounded, thinking, "Can I get my co-pay back?" She tried to hug me as I left the room. I felt like she dismissed what I was saying and automatically attributed it to stress (and automatically attributed any stress to my relationship with God). I agree that some illnesses are partly due to stress, but I didn't appreciate the God talk, especially within minutes of meeting. I went home and found her bio on the clinic website because I wondered, "Who the hell is this weirdo?" Her husband was a pastor at the local Baptidome. So, just because you're a doc doesn't mean you aren't a religious nutjob.
I just don't know HOW you can be a religious nutjob if you're a doctor. To become one, there's this whole "science" roadblock you have to get around, quite a lot from what I heard. So if you can achieve a PHD and accept things on a cellular level, why can you also accept that the reason we don't have dinosaurs anymore is because Noah didn't have room in the trunk but barely had enough room for every other species on earth including the 875,000 separate species of insect and over 1,000,000 subspecies of beetle (I'm sure the wolverines and the dingoes got along swimmingly during a storm at sea). Don't those two things deflect off each other a smidge?
Worst hangover in a long time. Something tells me I'm getting too old to booze like I used to. I can't remember the last time I was so hungover I slept until 2pm. The girlfriend and I met a friend and went to a new bar in town where I proceeded to pour too much liquor down my throat. Now for this 'Bama vs A&M game.
My cousins are die hard Aggie fans...both live in Texas and went to Texas a&m. My cousin's wife just posted a photo of the game. Grr! I am not much of a football watcher but that would be an amazing game to attend so I am a little jealous.
