Bazza Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings There's hole in the window sill. A squirrel has moved into this hole.

I went outside to scare him away, and he stuck his cute little squirrel head out and stared at me. Awww. I couldn't do it.

Old Man Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings You could do what I did with the irresistibly cute mouse I caught in my office a few years ago, which is hit it with a brick a couple times. Cute vermin is still vermin. Otherwise, I'm sure squirrels of any level are relatively easy to trap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings I was thinking about Gilligan's Island (for some strange reason), and a couple of things ocurred to me. 1. If The Professor hadn't been on the boat, the others would likely have been *toast*. 2. Why didn' they build a seperate hut for *all* of the single people? The Professor is the only one two rates having some privacy? And it makes sense to make a 2-person hut for the married Howells, but making the other 4 share two huts? It's not like they were running out of room or natural building materials. They were lucky to get that many finished, and just gave up on trying to make more. Gilligan was helping, you see.

Bazza Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings Sometimes I have flashbacks of things. It's only momentary, maybe just a feeling of recognition. But many of them are set off by things I never experienced, like images of events before I was born. Is it nostalgia? Past life regression? Or have I just been watching too much Highlander? Maybe a bit of 1 & 2. Not 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, seriously, having a guy in the bathroom hand you paper towels after you wash your hands? And then you tip him? It kinda wigs me out, just a little bit.[/quote'] Where did you encounter a washroom attendant? I haven't encountered one in almost fifty years, and that was in Europe.

teh bunneh Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings It was at a nightclub. BB King's Blues Club in Orlando. The guy had the whole setup -- a tray of men's colognes on the wash basin, a basket of candy, and if you wanted soap you had to go to him 'cause he had the dispensor in his hand. It was a little disquieting. I don't even personally like using valet parking -- I'm like, "Dude, I know how to park my own muthafluffin' car and I don't mind walking a few extra steps. Just back away from my vehicle." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is when I am for some reason obligated to go to some establishment that has only valet parking, which they enforce by controlling all available parking space.

teh bunneh Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings I stayed at a fancy Hollywood hotel with valet parking one time. So I'm up in my room, it's like 11:30, and I realize I left something in the car. No problem, I'll just pop down to the parking lot and... aw, crap, I have no friggin' idea where my car even is! So I call the front desk and ask. They connect me with the valet service. The valet service asks what my license number, make, and model is (yeah, it's a rental, I barely remember what color it is), and what it is that I'm needing out of the car. Twenty or thirty minutes later, one of the valets shows up with my bag (hand out for a tip). Never again, is all I can say. I want to know where my car is, and I want to be able to zip down there and grab something out of the back seat without worrying about some stranger rooting through my belongings (and taking half an hour for what should be a 3 minute job).

I can't help but wonder if their true purpose is to make sure the patrons do not engage in non-lavatory activities, and figured that having him be a "washroom attendant" would be considered less intrusive than "bathroom monitor"?
