Tangents!

Have you ever felt like you would never be able to feel anything again? I think I feel that way right now...
 
Haha, I just found a funny website!

Ultra Condensed book summaries.

Beowulf:
Hrothgar

    Let's build a big old dining hall and call it Herot.

(They do. Then Grendel, an ugly guy, takes over Herot and eats people. Beowulf rips his arm off.)

All

    You rule, Beowulf.

(Some people make SPEECHES and tell IRRELEVANT STORIES. Beowulf kills some more STUFF.)

Beowulf

    Wiglaf, I'm dying. See that my funeral pyre fits my greatness.

Wiglaf

    Ok.

Well, have you ever touched raw fish? It feels the same in your mouth as it does in your hand. And it tastes fishy and cold. But it's really good. :lol:
 
It sounds well strange. My Mum says that you can get really bad illnesses from it too. Trust in Mum, that's what I always say.
 
How do tattoo artists practice?

And don't say "Very well thank you!" and giggle or I'll hurt ya like a sumo who self-harms! :rudolph:
 
I just want to say that it makes me sad that in a place where we pride ourselves on promoting free expression and democracy and what-not, and in a supposedly laid back Out Of Character section, we have to deal with censure and criticism. And that because of it, we end up making people feel ostracized.
 
And some people seem to easily forget when they themselves have censured and criticized. Which makes those people hypocrites.

Remember James2Spooky before you speak of censures and criticisms.
 
I didn't hear you complaining like you are now when James2Spooky was put on a 75 posts per week limitation. But I guess it's different when it's someone you like.
 
I made green bagels and so far people i've told have said it was weird and someone asked if it tasted bad. It's just food coloring! Sheesh. They turned out real well and i'm proud of myself. I made them for a birthday breakfast for my girlfriend since her birthday is on St. Patrick's day. ^_^

We had someone die on campus today. He was visiting a friend and od'ed on oxycontin or something similar. I'm not really saddened but I did meet him last night for a few moments, one of the last people to see him alive. It's weird.

Oh well, time to go to a pirate party!
 
Oxycotin seems to be a popular drug these days what with Jack Ozbourne and Rush Limbaugh. Perhapse people are clinging to the dimetrically opposed role models.

Bill O'Riley seems to have an extremeley engorged percsucion complex to the point that whenever someone anywhere writes something negative about him, he (O'Riley) takes it personally and goes on a propper vendetta against the offender.

I wonder if I'm now on his vendetta list?


Anybody seen V for Vendeta yet, and if so was it good, did Hugo Weaving break out of the Elrond/Agent Smith archtype?
 
How are you dead when you don't breath for a second, it's takes abit longer then that eh. But interesting none the less.
 
A way to view text files on unix is called less, which ironically is better featured than the other simple command to view files called more

Hence

less is more
 
I went to the slaughterhouse today and I have to say it was disturbing but it won't stop me eating meat. I already knew how they did it and now i've seen it, so I know what i'm doing when I pick up that burger.
