That is, things you're sorry you ate, the moment you finish the last bite.
How do you do in polite, unfamiliar social situations?
http://www.livescience.com/18666-happiest-states-2011-list.html I'd expect Hawaii to top the list, but the strong showing from the northern Great Plains states is surprising.
They many not want to answer, but that's okay too. Go ahead, ask. I want to know if Glazer owns a car. He must drive around to do his job...but does he use a company ride?
Well?
I wonder what Linda Lavin is up to?
Prince Charles
I regret that I have not eaten the hearts of all of my enemies.
I dunno if this is lounge fodder but I couldn't think where else to put it. A couple of weeks ago a 19 year old student who attends (attended?) my alma mater disappeared. He gave no outward signs of being in distress to his friends or family. His...
The door was open. I thought I heard voices. Oh, gosh, some of you guys look familiar. So, you come here often? May I have a beer please?
Snooki's parents.
Just wondering, do people live only on food purchased at dollar stores? What would it be like to live, for a month, only on food purchased from a dollar store? Would you save money? Would you feel like crap? How much would it suck?
Based on what I've been doing all day, I shall now be known as Tree-slayer, and Staple-reaver. :hist: How would you describe yourself in a way that would scan in an epic poem?
I must spend a couple of hours each working day shuttling back and forth to work on public transport. It's quiet as well, other than a few of the passengers who know each other, as that British reserve of not intruding takes hold. The few people who...
Tell me if this is the appropriate place to post this thread, since I don't see it fitting anywhere else. I've never been allowed inside-the-box. So, I kinda grew up living outside-the-box. So, I think outside-the-box as a habit and reflex. ...
After a stretch away from YouTube, I started visiting it again when I was looking for material for the sad songs thread. And, of course, try as I might, I couldn't keep my eyes away from the comments. Oh. My. God. And, of course, I know...
Cheap Tampons I have often been outraged at the amount of money required to manage my menses every month! So I have been using rolled up baby socks for over a year and have not had any leakage, no infections, average amount of mess (like when...
The thing is over! The thing that has haunted me in my dreams, kept me awake, the thing that I have worried about for three years has come and gone...and it went fine. The whole world looks different today. I cannot even explain the...
There seems to be a new trend among young women to dye their hair silver. One of the current contestants on Project Runway is sporting it, and Kelly Osborne is, as well. I don't want to be all "kids today :fist:!" but I must say, I don't get it....
Cause he's super old now!!!
And you have the choice, go with the German car, not the Chinese car.
and here was I, thinking it would be a new Year and things would be as quiet as they were before Christmas. You know, that time when everyone is winding down for the holidays. When everyone is doing the peace and happiness. A generally relaxing...
I just somehow wish I knew more about her. She's in everything. There is no topic of conversation that cannot be smoothly and seamlessly turned to a discussion of Veronica Hearst. She is in everything. She is everything. Once you see the pattern,...

Happy birthday, Orual! :dumbo: I hope you have a most fulfilling day.
Thanks to a corrupted library in iTunes following an update, my play counts were reset a few months back. I have about 7000 songs in the library, and I play them all at random (using iTunes DJ so I can see what's upcoming) with no ratings set. ...

I can't believe that swabbing a tray with a damp rag is considered hygienically sufficient for food service. But I have just experienced a grossness upgrade. Was at Great American Bagel last week when, as I watched, the counter person wiped...
I stumbled across this while looking for video of Korea's "Hotel of Doom," the Ryugyong Hotel. This video show the 5th floor of the Yanggakdo Hotel, the largest operating hotel in North Korea. Why is the 5th floor creepy? Because it...
Just after dinner, having a beer on the couch, watching Star Wars on the couch with the kidlet. artifex is on the couch too, but intent on playing Scrabble on her iPhone (probably with Cluricaun, come to think of it). ...
So, I've already had A browser playing up and refusing to start properly. A fire alarm leaving everyone in the cold. Some programs doing the most bizarre and abstract things It's Fri 13th and its not even lunchtime. I wonder what else...

So, I have these little chickens. The rooster is a jerk and harasses the others, and the hen is so small the others could easily squish her and the big roo who is like five times her size keeps trying to put the moves on her. Inappropriate, dude. ...
I was thinking about this while reading the story about Prince Philip's heart stent. He's 90 years old, and while he seems in pretty good shape for a guy his age, he obviously knows he's reaching the end of his life. I remember my grandmother at...
You sound like a scratched record
Cause sometimes that's what you're in the mood for.

2012 has arrived. A time for reflecting on the year gone by and looking forward to the year yet to come. According to some people, the Mayan calendar says this will be the final year before it all ends. I hope they are as accurate as some other...
There's really so much here to enjoy that I almost hesitate calling attention to the "fan mail" a couple of items down. http://www.richiezie.com/#/richie-tip-jar/4546726366 I am impressed that an actual soccer mom wound not be able to spell...
My laptop picked up a horrible nasty virus a few weeks ago, and my husband has been working day and night (seriously, even on Christmas day for a while) trying to get rid of it. I think it's finally gone, and now you should see a lot more of me...
It's been weird this year, it certainly hasn't felt like a Christmas. For starters the weather has been all wrong. It feels like September and October. Plants are still blooming in the garden as though Spring has already arrived. The snow that...
Hope you're having a great one! :)
Stories, pictures, videos, all submissions welcome. Me and my brother spent hours today scouring the internet for a picture of the Lego train set I had as a kid. Eventually we found it, after one wrongly identified one. It made me realise how...
Last night was my kid's Christmas concert (excuse me, "Winter" concert). My wife and I were grumbling that, as usual, the kids would be adorable, but the concert would be ruined by parents standing up to take pictures, leaving as soon as their own...
...that the Latin slang for clitoris (landīca) was considered one of the filthiest words in the language?
If you listen to talk radio at all, especially NPR, you've heard these turns of phrase: "in formed by" as in "Her decisions are informed by a life of public service" and "speak to that" as in "I haven't read the article so I can't speak to...
It's that time of the year when everyone relaxes, well everyone in the office has, and most things are, well not quite on go slow, but easy go. The important projects, the things that have to be done are still being done. But people are wistfully...
