Closed to new repliesThis discussion is closed. It stays readable, but it takes no new replies.

I don't know if this is the right place
to start this. Maybe it should be in all
the boards. It seems the just like a lot of chat rooms that are over run with potty
mouthed individuals with nothing to offer
we must contend with them here also.
disscussion topics seldom adhere to
and threads run amuck and astray. Whew...
alot to dig through with typing admonishments,
comments on weather,leisure occupations and
everything else under the sun. I guess
that with the cross section that we represent
also demonstrates chaos. Why do we believe that it WOULD COULD or SHOULD.

Go ahead JUMP

If there was then the "common" person would have it.

Threads running amuck. That is a given. Many times this is a way to socialize. We don't get paid to post here so maintaining a ridged format would be unlikely. After a while you can see when a part if splitting off and have the choice to read it or not.

The potty mouths. Yes, you get people that had their lunch taken so many times while growing up that anytime they can pretend they are tough they do it. Again you will learn who to completely ignore. Once you realize someone has nothing to add to further the discussion, just quit responding to them and they will go away looking for someone that they can get a rise out of. That or just flame the heck out of them and have fun. Just depends on how passive or agressive you are. I don't seem to run into as many of that type here as they generally don't last long in a flame war. There are MANY here that are VERY knowledgeable about EVERYTHING and will disect any feable arguements to shreadss.

If it wasn't for the PERSONAL touch many people add here, I wouldn't even bother. Of course if the less serious topics bother you, just avoid them and stay with the dedicated topics you enjoy.

By the way, the weather is GREAT today!

by dmambo

And I mean $%@#ing HOT. Well, nice socializing with you!

It's been said many times that the miscellaneous discussions will (and IMO should) cover evereything from the last solar eclipse to overheating CPU's. I enjoy reading threads that wander all over. It's amazing what tidbits one can pick up in a tangental portion of a thread. Sometimes I think the the titles of the posts could be a little more descriptive to give an idea of where that post is headed, but it generally only takes a second to open and get the feel of someone's thought, so it's not a huge investment.

TR is my coffe-break, lunchtime treat.

by tonythetiger

And our A/C quit the day before yesterday. Well at least the server room is cold. Oh, that reminds me, I have to double-check the tape drive :)

by shellbot

well..yes, if someone is in a specific topic, i might be annoyed if someone posted a blurb about thier cat spewing a hairball..but this is the Misc section..so hey..why not talk about life, love and how taking your lap top to bed with you is not a good idea for your love life.

under the sun in my world..

my cat loves to chase the mouse pointer on the screen..hilarious! anyones else's cat do this?

(if you read real close, you might guess i like cats)

by itgirli

My cat doesn't care too much for the computer. But he knows how to sit, shake paws, fetch, roll over, and beg. I taught my mom's cat to shake paws also. Cats are much better than dogs (in my opinion).

by jessie

TASTY... especially slow-smoked. ]:)

HAHAHAHA! Just had to get that in there. :D Actually, I've got a GREAT cat! Male, 9 year old tabby. He's a GREAT mouser/rabbiter (keeps the neighbors garden clear). He's also EXTREMELY good with my kids. Very gentle.

by jessie

COMMON SENSE... instead of just one more person griping about what goes on under the MISCELLANEOUS category... I guess that's what I get for thinking. ]:) I'll endeavor not to do that again for a while.

by jdclyde

changing the topic in this thread? That would be just too confusing to someone like me!

I personally would like to grip about everything ELSE BUT the ramblings that happen here.

I am perfectly normal. It is everyone else that is F'ed up!

by jessie

... cuz I have boobs... MUCH less thought required on my part... all I have to do is shake them a little and men do ALL the thinking for me.

by jaqui

we have a cat running around the buildeing, the manager's.
this crazy beast thinks it is a dag. ( was raised with three )

the funniest thing about him is the way he treats people.

the other day I was walking by and stopped to say hello to him, he sat up on his butt, reached out with forpaws and placed them on top of my head, extended the claws slightly then pulled my head down to be below his eye level. he has reared up in the same fashion, but placed his "arms" around my neck and given me a hug.

odd beast.
it wouldn't suprise me if this:

http://www.geocities.com/jaqui_greenlees/priceless106.jpg

was him on the weekends. ( looks like him )

by jdclyde

My last cat was the single greatest cat in the world. (I am sure you thought yours was nice and all, but just no comparison)

He was a Norwegen Forest Cat. They are the Orange fluffy cats with a huge fluffy tail. His name was bomber and he watched over my boys as good as any watchdog could have.

This cat would heel when I took the boys for a walk, or would hop up on top of the stroller and lay there.

He would sleep with me, under the blantets with it's head on the pillow.

One day he went out and never came back. I miss my cat.

Now the EX's cat is STUPID!

by jdclyde

That would explain my cat from a long time ago that would jump into the bathtub with my girlfriend when she was taking a bath. Only cat I ever saw that liked taking a bath!

And definitly explains why the EX's cat is so stupid.

by dmambo

He's about a 36-C cup, and from what I've been able to gather, he hardly ever thinks.

by jamesrl

At your sister-in-law's husbands man boobs?

Give your head a shake man, if you can guess the size you've been staring too long.

James

by dmambo

You only have to deal with the vision from your own imagination (which is probably not as bad as the vision from jck's or anykey's imaginations). I have actually seen this dude at a swimming pool. Either he should get a new bathing suit that can hold its position, or a large tub of crack spackle.

by jaqui

46 would, if they were proportioned correctly, be an e or better cup, not a c cup.

and, at 6 feet tall my chest is only 38 inches so 36 isn't that odd for a guys chest.
( several people I know are that slightly built. )

by mjd420nova

Really, I wasn't trying to vent or anything, just
make a comment and express my observations.
If you've read the thread this far it is easy to see how things can go off into left field.
REALLY I DIDN'T MEAN IT

by maecuff

It is out of your control, whether or not you meant it..

Speaking of cats and boobs..I once had a cat with a 36C bra size.

Okay, I didn't. I don't have any pets. I have kids and that is enough. You know, they expect to eat EVERY day??? sheesh.

by jdclyde

He grew man boobs too?

jaqui, if you are that big without the extra weight to grow breasts, just how big do you think you would HAVE to be if you add the other white meat in too?

I clock in at 42" without the breasts. It goes up fast from there. Maybe I should have said FIFTY six?

by dmambo

I didn't actually measure. Let's just agree that his bra size and his IQ are somewhere in the same neighborhood!

by jck

Bloom County...

ACK!!! BURP!!!! BELCH!!!!

There...was that on topic? hmm

I wasn't potty-mouthed though...I'll save that for the Friday Yuk ]:)

by Member 25348569

Or at least writing some of them.

The weather over here is a sunny 25C with the possibility of scattered thunder showers later. I am torn between looking down at the River Walk or watching the Ladies play at Wimbledon on the Desktop Team's plasma (which should be showing the Helpdesk queue).

:D

btw. I think that mjd420nova possibly regrets starting this thread.

by jck

kids gotta learn it sometime!!! :D

as for what to do...I'll be going home tonight...and relaxing. I'm "handling" the department while the boss is on vacation for 2 weeks, so I'm kind of "in charge" (someone catch ITgirli!).

Friggin waiting on a call from Microsoft right now. Need them to tell me why the .NET COM Interop is not backward compatible. Office Integration Team will be calling me (supposedly) by 3pm.

As for the weather here...high today, about 90F/32C...isolated thunderstorms.

by jck

I've never measured my cup size, but because of having been a weightlifter, I have "man boobs".

BTW, my chest is still 50 inches...hehehe.

GAZE UPON THE MARVEL OF MY MAN BOOBS!!! HAHAHAH!!

by jdclyde

you shave them so you can pretend while you do terrible things to yourself don't you? :^)

weight lifter, 12 oz at a time? The heavyest thing I lift anymore is my golf bag. Mind you it has the max allowed clubs, about 20 balls (on bad days I go through a lot and I carry extra for the boys) and at LEAST a sixpack and a fifth a jager!

by shellbot

i've had in ages..although I am slightly horrified at all the "man boobs" stuff..is it wrong to be excited by it?

i thought we were talking about common sense...

by jck

hey...since you're a girl...if you ever wanna see mine...I'll let you...just so you can tell me how they look. ]:)

Honest...it does suck being a guy...and havin droopy boobs...I thought that was only for post-menopausal women with half their teeth missing.

by jdclyde

you never showed us how big that is, so we don't know where to stop!

Question of the day.

Lace or leather?

by jck

you just wanna know the dirty details so you can flog the dolphin to something, don't ya? :D

As for the weightlifter part:
In seriousness, there was a time when I could benchpress 500 lbs and legpress 1200 lbs.

However, that was 14 years ago...muscles atrophy on liquid diets and not lifting doesn't keep the muscle density...so...now my max benchpress is only around 200 lbs.

Oh well, that's good enough to lift girls and cases of beer...so I'm content!! ]:)

by jck

the plumber's putty didn't hold?

Oh jesus...call the paramedics...someone's cracked and doesn't know it yet! :D

by jck

MS's rep said that (even tho COM interfaces have been standard for a long time to office apps) older Office apps have different COM interfaces than the new ones...and therefore, older Office apps won't understand new Office app's COM calls.

What a crock. MS...modified an interface their obsoleting...then, created new COM PIAs for Office XP.

Great...now you have to develop on Win2000 to get Office XP/2003 compatibility...not vice versa.

Christ...I wanna go to Redmond and beat me some people.

by kattoon

Yes, I like Cats...especially Kitty Tacos!!

Nah..

Like Jessie...I had to throw that one in too! I actually have a 13yr old Orange tabby. Absolutely loveable!

by anykey???

ok just making sure that we are on the same page.

by itgirli

I want a giant potato with thin strips of steak, bacon, cheddar, sea salt and butter. Now that's a good potato!

by jdclyde

NOW we are talking about visuals! With a little huney? Woo Woo!

Much better than the man boobs from further up!

Tell us what else you would like Jess! Slowly and in DETAIL! Woof woof!

by jessie

How about this:

Frozen banana
Warm honey
Gravity boots
Chin-up bar

Now doesn't THAT get ya thinkin'?

by dmambo

...that you seem to have a colorful imagination in threads that wander down to the red-light district. I'm guessing that your inner vision of my sister-in-law's husband's man boobs is probably even worse that the real thing. Enjoy it! ;)

by anykey???

I just wanted to make sure that we both had the same vision as it pertains to my imagination.

I envision a big hairy, sweaty man wearing a lacy, red, see through man bra, with dark curly hair poking out around the sides,he is standing in front of a full length mirror with his pinis tucked in between his legs,rubbing his man boobs and getting horny staring at his pu$$y.

Let me see you get that outta your head bwahahahahahaha ;)
I think I forgot to mention the red leather buttless chaps.

by jdclyde

I let myself in the other offices in my zone and close the vents in the offices that don't like it cool AND the office that has the thermostat and then it is set to 65 degrees.

I would say it is probably 67 ish and I have to keep drinking my coffee to warm my hands back up so I can type!

I have a firm belief. I should NEVER work up a sweat sitting in front of a computer. :^O

by jck

They keep this office like...71...friggin cold...

I keep my house about 78-79...that's gotta change when the beerkit gets here...

Dear God...up since 1:45am...when will the hell end?!?!?!

by anykey???

cold? I turn the ac on when it get above 70 in my neck of the woods

My office is currently 64 degrees and I'm lovin it,it's so hot and humid on the shop floor that My glasses fog up when I walk out of my office.

by dmambo

But now I have to bring my 11-year old son for some serious therapy. I'm just glad he didn't tell me what it said.

by anykey???

therapy hasn't helped me yet.

But that could be because my therapist is a geisha girl that doesn't speak english.

by jdclyde

Not the terms I usually use for either, but it is nice to know we have similar interests!

by jck

sounds like what you'd find at a PETA convention for preserving Siberian tigers...hahahaha

by maecuff

I'm SUPPOSED to have those same type of interests.. I'm so confused.

My husband always tells me that if I leave him, it will be for another woman. Maybe he's on to something.

by jdclyde

not leave for!

Three is company!

Yes there is a double standard there, but who cares?

by jck

I have a secret...

I'm a lesbian trapped inside a man's body... ]:)

by jck

I'm not gonna show ya how big it is, either jd :p

Answer of the moment:

liquid polyurethane...leather and lace is for Stevie Nicks...

by itgirli

I like leather and lace. And I like Stevie Nicks (musically speaking). And I don't tell.

by jck

against Stevie Nicks...it was just an association to a song title...I'm a huge Fleetwood Mac fan

And truth be known...I prefer a girl in my dress shirt and a pair of white socks...when it comes right down to it.

Who needs fancy, flashy crap...that's for movie premieres and gala balls. I want a woman cause she turns me on (in every way), not cause she knows what sizes Victoria's Secret carries or what colors go with her eye color according to Cosmo.

by jck

and I sit under 3 seperate a/c vents. I have to wear a windbreaker in the office after the sun goes to the opposite side of the building.

As for hot and humid...sheeit...it was 77 this morning with 91% humidity here...that's as bad as Guatemala

I love warm weather...need it more...just not hot weather...like Arizona... *cringe*

by itgirli

I'm about 5 blocks from PETA headquarters. I hate those crazy b@$t@rds. They walk around our streets in mass protest and then go and kill animals. And I can't wear my rabbit fur coat because I'm afraid one of those nuts will throw paint on me or something.

by jdclyde

I need to go to the bathroom now......

Except you for got the two staples. Chocolate syrup and whipped cream!

by jdclyde

The people in the next few offices had to come in because they knew it must be good!

Sure is the find of the week!

And yes, I do like cats. STill funny as hell!

by itgirli

Ocean City, MD, Rehoboth, DE, and Bethany Beach, DE all have beach cams that show you what's going on down at the boardwalk. Maybe you can see some sights.

by anykey???

let one of those WACKO FREAKS from PETA try to throw paint on my fur coat, I'd pull my coat over their head and beat them like a baby seal.

I heard that PETA was banned from several North Carolina counties for dumping dog carcasses in convience store dumpsters. Apparently their shelters couldn't properly place or care for those tasty animals.

by dmambo

My wife gives me the hairy eyeball whenever I eat one, but I like them and once in a while I say to hell with the next cholesterol test. Lots of ketchup, (Heinz is the best), some mayo, cheese, pickels and maybe a slice of onion.

by jdclyde

the bacon?

And what KIND of cheese? Mozzarella, american and cheddar?

No lettuce?

A little spicy mustard?

We cooked burgers on the grill this weekend! Venison and Beef mixed together. Good stuff.

by jck

soup...and salad...and my neighbor fed me crab soup.

Otherwise, I did nothing but house maintenance and play video games (mostly house maintenance).

by dmambo

That sounds excellent. I guy I know has his butcher make him venison pepperoni every year. Sound weird, but it's really good.

by itgirli

They were from headquarters here and they took the dogs and said they were going to find homes for them and they slaughtered them all and dumped the bodies. dirty people.

by dmambo

the lesbians that are in Penthouse magazine (think Vanessa Williams) or the ones that are out in the real world?

by jck

what I look like...other than...
almost 6'6
303 lbs
brown hair
brown eyes
drive a Kia Sportage
play music on more than just a radio
laugh my butt off at southern humor (reminds me of friends)

by jck

If they threw paint on my girlfriend...there would be a LOT of dead PETA people.

Then when they arrested me, I would say "The paint was red! I thought they'd killed her with a frag grenade! It was self-defense!"

About as plausible as throwing paint on someone who's wearing a fur and you don't know if it's real or synthetic.

The ignorant, pompous fur-loving twits...gimme a license and I'll go huntin

by Member 25348569

Got a little too close to the naturists on Saturday with the onshore breeze.

Man boobs there were in plenty! Women boobs too. Despite my interest in all things medical, I never knew that Coopers Ligaments could stretch that far!

:(

by jdclyde

to discriminate against someone because they are a size 5 and likes Victoria's Secrets!

After all, they just can't help it.

They need love too! Repeatedly, matter of fact....

by jdclyde

without the beef mixed in.

The family likes it and fears it at the same time. It gives me the gas something fierce and has forced them out of the NEXT room with a door closed.

Good stuff!

Cooked on the grill, so a lot of the grease drips into the flames giving even MORE flavor. Cook it SLOW to get a lot of the grease out.

By the way, glad you didn't shy away from the off topic stuff. What ends up in these is often better than the original idea.

It just takes some getting used to the fact that we are not the most disciplined group of posters on the web. But you will be amused and learn something along the way. Go to the light......

by Member 25348569

YOU are not allowed to go off-topic! This is your thread and, as it's daddy, you have to attempt to bring it up correctly.

Let's have no more foody posting from you please!
