Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. "Hey, can I trouble you for a mask and snorkel, and maybe some fins? Size 11-ish?" "Sure." (rummages behind the counter) "Here's the fins, and let me get this mask ready for you." (gets out a spray bottle and sprays the inside of the mask) "There, that'll keep it from fogging up on you." "Oh good, that way I don't have to spit in it." "It is spit." (considers nearly-full spray bottle) "Filled that up all by yourself, did you?" "Yup. It's perfectly aged."

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. "Where is the angel?" "Oh, I left it by the WD-40." "Daddy, you can't leave it by the WD-40. It'll die." "What? Angels aren't bugs." "Angels are chemicals like bugs. They're carpenters and astronauts too." "Do you know how much your preschool costs?"

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. "Daddydaddydaddydaddydaddy!!!" "What?! What?!" "That Integra has a spoiler just like yours!" "What? Yeah..." "And it has cool wheels just like yours!" "Yeah." "And it's really dirty, just like yours!" "...Yeah."

Re: A Thread for Random Musings Hey! You there! No quoting in this thread!

Re: Jokes That's pretty much the only reason I went ahead with it for my kids. It's not like the procedure has a 0% complication rate.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. "Yay! I'm allergic to amoxicillin!" He literally jumped up and down, he was so happy.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I still prefer the microwave option to the skillet option, which spatters the entire damn kitchen with bacon grease and then the whole house smells like bacon. Which is awesome! Except for the mess.

Re: Musings on Random Musings The new layout does seem to have a lot more useless whitespace in it.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Well, if you picture a wrinklier E.T....

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore It's actually better, believe it or not. Because I cook the bacon until it shatters when touched. When I do that in the skillet, it burns because it gets all wavy and stuff. In the microwave, it stays flat. So it looks like cardboard, but it doesn't taste like bacon flavored charcoal.

Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore I've taken to cooking the bacon in the microwave. Just layer it in there with some paper towels and nuke till crispy. It's cheating, but I don't care. Especially since I'm the one that has to do the dishes.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. "Here Mommy, look at the picture I drew." "Wow, that's very nice! Is it a car or an alien? It looks like E.T." "It's a picture of Daddy."

Re: The "Nice Happy" Thread The Shadowfist cards I preordered back in the summer suddenly showed up today. New card smell!

Re: Musings on Random Musings That's like a hundred bucks. Not bad at all, compared to what my 401k lost in the past two years.

Re: Musings on Random Musings I didn't think he was that big.

Re: Musings on Random Musings Actually, he somehow mistook it for gummi candy, which he does eat. For future reference, dry rubber cement is safe, but still wet rubber cement contains benzene and some other seriously nasty stuff and you should probably go to the ER if you eat it. In case you were really hungry, or something.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings My four year old vomits if I ever make him try to eat something that isn't a french fry, hot dog, or McNugget. But he'll roll up the dried rubber cement in a magazine and eat that. The nice lady at the poison control center was greatly amused.

Re: I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) It was strange for me, since my usual dream weapon is an automatic pistol or a 12-gauge. It sometimes morphs from one to the other mid-dream.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. "Hmm, what ornaments should we put on our Christmas tree this year?" "I know, Mommy! Let's go up into outer space and get a star, and we can bring it back and put it on the top of the tree!"

Re: I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!) Last night I dreamt that I stabbed a man to death. After all, he was following me with a revolver out. So I ambushed him in a hallway. His blood was hot and sticky, and the smell of it filled my nostrils. I picked up his gun, a black snub ose revolver, and set out looking for the people who'd sent him.

Re: A Thread for Random Musings So McDonald's had their Monopoly promotion again, and being the scavenger that I am, I hoovered up a lot of forgotten game pieces that my coworkers left behind. Recently, each piece has a code on it that you enter into the online game, which is a virtual Monopoly board where, if you get a monopoly, you win the appropriate prize. However, the prizes in the online game can still be pretty big, so while I'm sure it's still randomly generated, the virtual 2d6 that you roll are predetermined. So it quickly turns into the most bizarre and frustrating game of Monopoly you have ever experienced, one where no matter how many times you go around the board, you will not get a monopoly... ever.
