I can't say that I was aware he had a secret wedding.

No, that is somehow more genuinely funny than:
"Phorusrhacoids [sic] took over the niche vacated by the small, bipedal dinosaurs called coelurosaurs."

Which is not amusing at all, but amuses me nevertheless.

... Because Phorusrhacids are coelurosaurs!


Hilarious, I know!

No, they are not dinosaurs! Phorusrhacus (Swordbeak) are a kind of overgrown birds!

Coelurosuars looked different:

And living in the same niche means they ate the same kind of food and hunted with the same methods.
 
Well. All siblings and their significant others accounted for... still finding it hard to believe it was a wrong number, though... *pondering the list of friends in that area which have my phone number* ...should I feel guilty at this point for thinking, "At least it wasn't someone in my family"?
Cheer up - they might have been calling to say, "It's a girl!"
;)

(Hiya, Ghostie. :kiss: )
 
What the fuck is going on? First the damn pipe bursts yesterday and now the damn furnace is acting up...I'm about ready to fucking give up, I don't have the patience for this shit and we don't have the god damn money to fix everything. Hell the money we had in our savings is now gone to pay bills...What the fuck else could go wrong?
 
Well, thanks for saving me the effort that I probably wouldn't have made anyway.:D

It was pleasant to talk with her, and I'm not saying I would never get together with her, but she hasn't changed. She's still bossy and interfering. But this time, she won't get an opportunity to interfere in my life. I don't need a friend like that.
 
Trust me, between fucked up furnace, severe lack of sleep and pipe burst there's not much else that could go wrong...*sighs*

One of my freecycle contacts had a gas leak last week. The gas had to be cut off because the leak was under the house. The gas could have accumulated and then exploded.

When the central heating engineers arrived they found that the gas leak was under the solid kitchen floor. They would have to use Kango hammers to break up the floor, find the broken pipe, fix it, and then relay the concrete. They started. Then they found that the gas pipe break was in the floor under the kitchen cabinets fitted new as a Christmas present from her parents. The new kitchen has to be dismantled.

While this is going on she has no heating, no hot water, and the kitchen door wide open to the open air to disperse the gas. She has three junior school-age children who want food and warmth.

I lent her four electric fires. It's a start. Her neighbours are doing her washing and drying. The kids are eating at McDonalds.

The engineers and builders consider that the work will take a week and it's not covered by insurance.

That's exactly the sort of thing I was trying to say without being the wet rag that actually says it. Life can always get worse. Even that story can still get worse. Not that I'm a pessimist, I've just seen life rain on everybody's parade long enough not to tempt her anymore.

There's nothing worse than looking at something you've spent hours on already, seeing room for a small improvement that'll make a big difference, and knowing that it's going to take you hours and hours to set it right if you want to take the weekend break you planned...
 
I need to play drums again. I have too much pent up hostility that I really can't take out on anything anywhere. And no, my martial arts classes don't cut it. I need the drums to just thrash out on, beat the shit out of, and do it in a timing and rythm that sounds good to me.

I miss my drums :(

Ah, but birds are dinosaurs. They are, specifically, maniraptoran coelurosaurs. It's cladistically funny - which is to say not really funny at all.

Edited because I forgot the blurt portion of my blurt:
I've forgotten entirely what I was going to say.

Try making bread. I find working the dough to be great for releasing pent up tension and anger. Then again, the discordant drum solo has an earthy charm all its' own.
 
granola cookie!

The phrase "granola cookie", combined with recent discussions about smearability and memories of a certain picture thread...

:eek:


okay, no. not really. That is to say, I'm not really even slightly embarrassed by my continuing lust over McKenna.
 
My computer is being delayed until April because half of the parts are on back order. Just great...
 
Yay, pipes are fixed and we have heat back!!!

But damn it I have another kidney stone but hopefully it will pass this time on it's own without having to go to the emergency room...:mad:

Oh, I also forgot to mention we now have a 2 foot by 2 foot (around those dimensions) hole in the wall in the room that is to be the baby's room...Thankfully baby is going to be in our room for at least the first month...

Hope the stone passes with as little pain as possible.
And that the wall gets fixed asap.

Happy Valentines Day

Okay, seen this way you're right. They were dinosaurs who spread wings, flied for some time, discovered the ground was suddenly empty after a big bang, landed again and outgrew their own wings. A bit stressfull for them, but so they avoided the meteor-extinction (if it was a meteor).

Okay, later on they met Mr. sabretooth-extinction, but who would have guessed north and south america would ever collide? Had they still had wings, they would have seen earlier, but this way...

Morale: If you fly high, stay that way. Or else.

:cool:
 
It's sooooooo wrong that I keep reading that thread title as:

Australia to apologize for Aborigines' porn

:eek:
