oooh. Sarameg! It's story time. Will there be fluffy bunnies in your tale?
Natter Area 51: The Truthiness Is in Here
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's easier to hate my life less with full sleep.
Indeed.
I am arguing with someone at work about how part of our technology works. I am not 100% sure I am right, but the real issue is THERE IS NO ONE HERE I CAN ASK. Seriously. not one person (that would not be all "why do you want to know") that knows the technology stuff. GRR!
Presidentail press conference is making me want to beat my radio with a sledgehammer. The tone of voice, the petulance. Ugh.
ION Travelocity tells me they can get me to San Francisco and back for $177. So freaking tempting.
Uh, it's not that fascinating.
Anyway, in my campus apartment, we had a toaster with no sproing. Being college students, a lot of our appliances lacked their respective sproing. This was fine, because we were all aware of these shortcomings and worked around them. Except T. T couldn't cook. T ruined many a pan. T was incredibly absentminded.
She decided to toast a sesame bagel, one of the freebies from my job. I heard the other roommate remind her the toaster was broken, so pay attention to it.
Some good chunk of time later, we hear a bunch of little popping sounds, like minipopcorn. A little after that T lets out a shriek. The popping was the sesame seeds. B&I rush to the kitchen an there are these huge flames dancing out of the toaster. It was really kinda cool. B grabs the baking soda, I pull the plug, B discovers the baking soda has caked into a brick.
So T does the next best thing: she throws the flaming toaster out the kitchen window.
Just as a group of visitors comes down the walk (I'm not sure if they were guests or prospective students. If the latter, AWESOME.) They react as one would to a flaming toaster chucked in your direction.
Anyway, that's the story.
Some of the Fark LOLPresidents are incredibly offensive (how shocking), but a few of them made me laugh a lot. My favorites:
- Bush/Cheney: "I wish I could quit you."
- Washington: "Im crossin the delawarez to kill ur doodz."
- Gore: "I has a prezidency. Nooo! Dey be stealin my prezidency!"
- Bush: "I'm in ur countryz destroyin ur foreign relashuns."
- Bush: "I has a budget. Nooo! Dey be stealin my budget!"
I can't link to individual pictures, or I would. The pictures are what make them really funny.
I was just watching in the breakroom while my bagel toasted. That man honestly just implied - damn near outright stated - that anyone killed in Iraq over the next couple of months is the fault of people against the war. Because the terrorists know now that this is how they can weaken our will.
Thank god it was captions and not sound or I'd have fucking lost it.
Being at work means I can't hear the president. this is one of the good things about work (see! I can be positive I swear!)
Flying flaming toaster! Reminds me of that screen saver that Macs used to have.
I'm in a weird head space today.
get me to San Francisco and back for $177. So freaking tempting.
What time should I meet you at the airport?
Uh, it's not that fascinating.
I'm trapped in a cubicle with nothing to do. The bar for entertainment is set pretty low. That being said, chucking a flaming toaster with no sproing out a window = hilarious.
