The Random Observations Thread

A toothbrush is useful for getting the last bits of slug from under your toenails.

Preferably someone else's.







Toothbrush, that is.

I don't own a gun...and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to pull the trigger at them anyway.

Roxanne: Thank you, but earplugs annoy me.

Me too but these are different. Try them - all you have to lose is about $2.50, and they might change your life.

I liked Tenille, and that song. Who the hell was the "captain?" Who appointed him?

(That's not really random either. )

Bouncing birds

I think birds have secret suicidal tendencies. They kept dive-bombing and doing crazy Kamikaze stunts in front of my car while I was driving yesterday. I actually hit one, the silly git.

It kind of clipped the front corner of my car and I let out a little shriek of panic and turned the car around to see what happened to it.
I guess the loopy birdy just bounced on the pavement a few times, staggered around and then flew off.
I think it was trying to impress all of its onlooking feathered friends.
Birdy Truth or Dare, perhaps?

Still, beware.

Clothes shopping is so much easier and more painless when you have an expert with you, who picks out what'll look good on you, and all you have to do is try it on, then pay.

Beer is good

Which one is that-- "Muskrat Love"? I liked it too

Personal observations I have made while out and about in the world:

In dumbfounded amazement people always look at their tennis racquet and feel the strings when they miss the ball, as if somehow a hole appeared ex nihilo and then just as quickly disappeared.

People will stop and pick up strange hitch-hikers in the middle of the night while on a dark and eerie road, but they never seem to pick them up in the city under bright lights.

People turn their nose up at begger's and tell them to get jobs when they are standing in front of a church asking for money, but somehow people always give money to begger's outside of a liquor store.

After a conversation with a Kiwi and other travellers at a party on Friday night, we determined that there is too much water in North American toilets, that toilets south of the equator flush backwards, that some Euro-toilets are still Turkish and that London toilets can practically suck you in like a hole in an airplane at 32,000 feet if you are not careful. This of course led to the splash factor of North American toilets and how really disgusting our conversation turned the moment we were served the food. We all agreed that no matter which BBQ you are at, the conversation always somehow gets around to farting and shitting.

"ex nihilo" -

The last time I picked up a hitchhiker was because he was carrying a high-power rifle.

(It was in a Northern Michigan forest during deer season - arms bearing is a sure sign of an upstanding citizen in that context. )

Which one is that-- "Muskrat Love"? I liked it too

I was thinking, "Love . . . . Love will keep us together . . . " and ending with "I will, I will, I will, I will!"

Brilliant. Had a similar experience myself recently - I got lucky.

people are unreliable and selfish

 

[angelicminx]

It's really hard to rewrite something someone else has already written.

 

[scheherazade_79]

There are loads of people in the AH Directory who visited the AH for the first time, added their listing and then fucked off, never to be seen again.

It's become like a wall of graffiti in a public toilet.

Vauxhall Astras are completely unremarkable.

I wanna take my own car to north wales

 

[scheherazade_79]

Hardly anyone posts on the mood thread anymore.

It's because everyone's secretly on valium, and they just don't get moods anymore.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

The dog only has to pee at times when I can sleep in and no one in the house but me can put her out.

 

[TitianaPeaks]

I saw a billboard today for the local zoo, with an elephant pictured on it. And it came to me.....


Do elephants get boogers???

 

[lucky-E-leven]

I'm here to randomly observe that Zade looks nice in chains.

There is no middle ground with Captain Crunch cereal. It is either sweet shards that rip the roof of your mouth apart, or disgustingly soggy.

 

[starrkers]

If women had an extra set of hands (and arms) attached with the birth of each child, they might almost have enough hands to do the shopping and get on a bus with children.

Alessia Brio rocks, BIGTIME!!

I wonder if we came to this conclusion at the exact same moment on the exact same day while you were in North Carolina and I was in the supermarket deciding that it was too humid to eat anything but cereal.
It just may be...



I also observed that it's July on Sunday. Who decided that was okay?

 

[bluebell]

Today's random observation...

If you think a bug has flown into your mouth, one probably has.

That's the conclusion I reached tonight as I walked from my father's house to the car in a swirl of humid, buggy pottage. I didn't even open my mouth!
Search me how the little devil got in.
