What do they do with all the hands and feet they cut off in the middle east?

Soup.

God I live with a bunch of nerds. I just want to go to sleep and all I can hear is my housemates discussing how cool advanced thermodynamics are.

6 days out from Christmas and a guy comes to hospital only to find out he has leukaemia.

Merry Christmas dude… Now he knows why he feels like crap.

Spicy prawn crackers are awesome.

My walk to work in the morning, at 9am, is in the pitch black on a path through a forest. This morning, there was a perfect full yellow moon surrounded by clouds on the horizon and a nice wind rustling the trees. I felt like a character in a fairy tale who is about to meet his untimely demise. I think I might understand why they have so many stories about trolls and elves here.

More like you’d walk into an ambush when the family blood feud spills over on you.

Why are you looking for a job? - Because I’ve unemployed.

Why were you interested in this job? - Because you were advertising.

Stuuuuuuuuuuupid questions.

If that’s how you are answering the questions, particularly the second one, it’s not just the questions that are stupid. ;-)

Nah, that’s what I’m thinking in my head. Plus the stabbing.

While driving down the highway last Friday, I passed a furniture store that had a scaffolding in pieces along the side. It was built in such a way that it made perfect steps heading up at a 30-degree angle toward the roof. It is the first time I have ever seen a building with the Assassin’s Creed ramp.

Unfortunately, the rest of Overland Park is severely lacking when it comes to tall buildings, hay bales, and Borgia messengers.

Man, the Geico Gecko sounds a little like Jason Statham…

Thanks to cloud cover I’ll have to watch the eclipse online. Astrophotography isn’t nearly as fun when you’re just taking screen shots.

Man, the last lunar eclipse I remember was ruined by clouds, too.

Children on trains should learn to read a damn book instead of talking at the top of their lungs.

Save that for when I’m not trying to take a nap, darnit. /grumpyoldman

It was as though the driveway ice had 1000 MDC and the plastic shovel did 4D6 SDC.

Am I the only one who likes Olivia Munn* and is kind of interested in her new TV series? (Perfect Couples**)

*Ans not just for her boobs.

**Also starring Mary Elizabeth Ellis, ā€œThe Waitressā€ on It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia

I’m on the fence about Munn. HATED her on AotS, but follow her on Twitter, and she’s kinda cool there.

I half-watched that show last night, it seemed okay. Potential to be funny.

I would like to watch a detective show where every single week, our heroes get it wrong. Arrest the wrong guy, fail to crack the case, etc. Bonus points for structuring some of the episodes so that the audience (but not the detectives) can figure out the actual perpetrator.

Never heard of her, but she’s hot. Kinda looks like Caroline Munro, in a 21st-century half-Asian way.
