The Isolated Blurt Thread VII: 7th Heaven

[Byron In Exile]

I totally support everyone's right to not-like people or like people for whatever reasons or for no reason.

Okay, well, the obvious problem with that... hm. Hang on...

No, I mean to say:

The problem cleverly obscured in this statement, a contradiction which only those with... er... highly honed logical skills are likely to discern...

Aw, shit. This may take a while, so hang with my buddy Peter here and I'll get back to you on this one:

(And if he dies tonight I'm putting my fist through the screen. I was thinking about buying a larger one anyway. (I'll be wearing a glove, of course... it would be absurd to sever tendons over a fictional television show.))


Oh! Wait! — what if someone is relatively neutral, but has ulterior... I mean, for example, let's say they used to like someone for no reason, but then, later on, they... okay this one's a puzzler, for sure. I'm making it a priority. Seriously. No, I'm totally, like, absolutely serious. In fact, if I were more serious than I am right now, I would call 911 and probably be immediately whisked away in an ambulance due to the seriousness of how very serious I am.

You know what's great about right now?

It's Monday morning and I don't have to go to work.

 

[Byron In Exile]

I knew I liked you for a reason.

Oh! So, you liked her, but you weren't sure if there was a reason, but now you know there is one, so... um...

Did you dislike her for no reason, before you liked her for a reason?

Okay, like I said, this whole idea will clearly involve more serious examination, in order to detect whatever flaw might be lurking in it.

Game of Thrones is on tonight?

It's Monday morning and I don't have to go to work.

Well, I was close. It was on last night?

No, I knew I liked her but didn't realise why.

It was a joke, btw. Actually, I probably shouldn't joke around with the boss.

I know exactly why and what I like and/or dislike about a person. I don't hate on people for no reason. That's just stupid and a waste of time and energy IMO. However, I agree with Laurel. Each to their own.

They are comfy for that, I'll admit. I have some blue medic scrub drawstring pants I use as ad hoc pj's/house loungers (they were a promotional item for a Showtime series a few years ago, so it has their logo on the ass pocket.)

A few years back, some of the envelope-pushing hipster gals in the city started to wear whimsical pajama bottoms as social gear when they stepped out. Then designers caught onto it and made "crossover" pj/casual pants with upscale and more tailored patterns. But the point was to look spontaneously chic with cheap, so...the fad kinda faded, but every now and then during the spring or summer months someone will wear a pair out to the drink spot.

I see it all the time down here. Food stores, Target, Walmart.. name it.

he likes to post in giant orange letters, many times it has attempted to disrupt threads with pic flooding and it occasionally says really creepy shit. also, it was one of karen kraft's biggest defenders. for me it's mainly the creepy shit and BIG ORANGE LETTERS.

but, hey, enjoy your vacuum.

Hey! How'd you do that? The big orange letters, I mean? O I C... hang on...

BIG SEA GREEN ORANGE LETTERS

Damn. Almost.

 

[Byron In Exile]

No, I knew I liked her but didn't realise why.

Okay. I think I can work with that. Like I said, it might take a while.

It was a joke, btw. Actually, I probably shouldn't joke around with the boss.

A joke??

You can't joke around in here! This is the General Board!!

Look around you. Do you see anyone joking? Taking this as if it's all fun and games?

Seriously.

I know exactly why and what I like and/or dislike about a person. I don't hate on people for no reason. That's just stupid and a waste of time and energy IMO. However, I agree with Laurel. Each to their own.

I prefer hating on people for no reason. I believe that makes me a more fair and even-handed person than if I were to go around hating on people just because of some particular thing they said or did.

Now, if you did feel like joking, the Author's Hangout and Poetry Forum are really the go-to places for hilarity and hijinks. Actually, the How To board is a close runner up, but the humor there is a bit of an acquired taste. Some think it's stale. I try not to be judgmental, but it's really not my thing.

However, nolite introire in Playgroundum. Those people have no bloody sense of humor. In fact, if you don't have something that sparkles in your sigline, you'll have to watch your step or you might end up being run out of there on a rail.

See that little square picture? It's right above that.

Great Scott! Equal opportunity hating.

You're right. From now on I will hate everyone equally for no reason at all.

Thanks, Byron.

I knew I would learn something here.

we don't have a radio shack here anymore. makes me sad even though it's understandable. every time i went there the guy who owned it would come bopping out all excited and hopeful like a bored dog spotting a squirrel outside through the window only to be super disappointed when i left buying either one small thing or nothing because his prices sucked and he didn't have what i wanted. still, it's sad. now if i want weird cables i have to order them online and that's just not as fun.

Radio Shacks are different now.

Forget about building your own computer or electronic gizmo out of that place. Now it's all Beats Audio, tablets and tablets. A few months back I went in to buy thermal paste....the associate didn't know what that was. Can you imagine if I had asked for a soldering kit?

Radio Shack is still indispensable. Eight years ago, I bought a digital stopwatch. I dunno what it cost. I was actually looking for a good old mechanical stopwatch to time my running but I couldn't find one so I had to settle for the goddamn digital POS.

Predictably (or unpredictably), two months ago the battery died. I started looking at runners watches. The fuckers want $50/$100 for 'em. It's a fucking ginormous ripoff. I'll be goddamned if I was going to pay that kind of money for one. I started trying to get the battery compartment of my digital stopwatch open. It's a tiny, tiny Phillips screw. I couldn't find a Phillips screwdriver that small and I didn't want to strip the goddamn thing.

Enter Radio Shack.

I walked in the store, explained the problem and in two shakes of a lamb's tail, the clerk produces the right tool, opens the battery compartment and produces the correct replacement battery. I finish the job while standing at the counter.

Elapsed time: 10 minutes
Total cost: $6.38


Problem solved.

Hmmm. That's not the response I was expecting.

Ma damm who?

Ma damm foots caught in the door!

 

[lovetoread]

I hurt in every part of my body.

I also got sun burnt on my arm and thigh.

 

[girlsmiley]

Byron.

What about when there is a reason?

Like this dude for example:

Radio Shack is still indispensable.

Enter Radio Shack.

Problem solved.



​

He's clearly fucked up and posted all of ^ that in the wrong thread.

Do I hate him more because there's a reason, or do I hate him the same as I hate everyone else?

I guess what I'm asking is, should I use two mad faces or just the one?



or
