Random thought thread!

The people who own (and live in) the house I also live in have been gone for several hours. I need to do laundry, but they left a half complete load in the washer when they left. Which is really pissing me off. Even if they come back in the next hour, it will be very late by the time I get my laundry done tonight.

They do this all the time. A total lack of consideration of the fact that I am also living here and sometimes need to use things.

Is there a table nearby? Or a basket they might have left? If not get a garbage bag. Unload the washer. Put the clothes wherever. Put yours in the washer and leave them a polite note. Unless you have some kind of serious issues with them. I mean where you think they might do something stupid to your clothes. I’ve lived in apartment buildings where this was common. A note like, “It seems that you forgot to remove your clothes from the washer. I did it for you. Sorry, but I need to get mine done. I have an early morning. Thanks for your understanding in this matter.”

If I had to listen to only one genre of music my whole life. . . and this is carefully considered: out of all of the genres of music, from rap to polka, reggae to speed metal, Tibetan throat chants to themaphone symphony, think I would choose Bossanova. What would you choose? Browse Spotify/Pandora for an hour before you answer.

Yeah, that’s my favorite Pixies album too.

Second random thought: and this belongs more in the drunk thread than this one,but what ever. Just got back from a meeting with a close friend of mine who is the most skeptical, critical person you’d ever meet when it comes to business ideas. He amd I went to business school together. Reaching back to those grand old’ days, we did a SWOT analysis on a business idea I’ve been toying with the last few years.

Over many martinis, Moscow mules, sidecars, and Manhattans, we figured out this idea scales directly from where we are now to a $100 million dollar company in a few years if I do it right. Big if, of course. Now, to hire a million purchasing agents.

Crash and burn or great idea? Only time will tell. My wife has given me 30 days to earn as much money as possible to see if the idea works.

This afternoon I was browsing one of the forums, scrolling down as I went, and I suddenly wanted to check something back at the top of the page.

So I tried to toggle <crouch> to stand up and see it.

Also, there’s no way this thread really went five months without a post, did it? Does everyone see this gap?

Just remember: When a man looks into the gap, the gap looks into the man.

I found $100 in the back seat of my car and have no idea how it got there.

RichVR · 2013-09-27T15:01:44.000Z

Oh man, you found it! PM me for my address.

corkeh · 2013-10-01T19:47:27.000Z

Oh good, I’m glad I found the owner. Hey, just so I really know it’s yours, who’s pictured on it?

Additionally…Fuck flu shots. Got mine this morning and my upper arm aches like someone took a baseball bat to it. When are they going to come up with a nice flavored chewable version?

divedivedive · 2013-10-01T20:18:54.000Z

What, so your mouth can feel like someone took a baseball bat to it? Are you some kind of masochist?

Man… Obama never smiley anymore.

Is like he is much older now.

Maybe every night he is connected to Dr Xavier chair, where he have to fight telepathic wars against the Chaos Gods and that is literally killing him.

He looks like a B-Serie evil president now.

Apropos of nothing: the pistachio is the perfect nut. Just thought it needed to be said.

You have clearly not been introduced to pecans fresh off the tree (before they sit on store shelves and begin to go rancid).
