What are Melon Pops and why do you need 3000 of them?
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Our office is melon popless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, I wish I had 3000 Melon Pops, and I don't even know what they are.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My melons have all been popped.
OK, that sounds weird.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Melon pops are these wierd melon ice cream flavored treats. We have them because we had a tenant event last week and people went for the Dove Bars and Klondike bars instead of these so now, we have them in our office freezers and I don't have anywhere to put my lunches.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
My annoyance is more with the customers behind me who shove the carts right into me. And if the have stroller carts or their kids in the baby seat, they shove even harder.
HATE these people. Happens all the time as my grocery store.

How magicians fool the mind of the viewer:
"Magicians are manipulating your consciousness. They are showing you something impossible," says Wiseman. "They're getting you to construct a narrative, which simply isn't true. So that means they know how to make you aware of certain things and blind to other things. What I'm hoping is that magic, this entertainment vehicle that has been around for a long time, will give us a real insight into the deep mysteries of consciousness."
Our brains filter out a huge amount of the mass of sensory input flooding in from our environment. Kuhn explains that we see what we expect to see and what our brains are interested in. "Our visual representation of the world is much more impoverished than we would assume. People can be looking at something without being aware of it. Perception doesn't just involve looking at an object but attending to it."
...
"What it shows is just how much of the picture in our head of our surroundings is a massive construction, based on expectations, what we think is important, what we normally encounter and so on," says Wiseman. "And that's what magicians are very good at exploiting."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Incidentally to the magic link-- Jesse, cover your eyes-- the commercials for "Criss Angel Mindfreak" make me embarrassed to be alive. In fact, all three of the words in the title make me cringe, from the spelling for Chris, the fake last name and the very word "mindfreak." My god.
