I had actively avoided seeing any images of Goatse during my time on the internet. Then I was looking at demotivational posters earlier this year. One of them had a picture of goatse doing his thing. The picture was not real clear so I had to focus on it and then...OH MY GOD. MY EYES.

Such a sad moment for me (when I finally got past the trauma to my retina) to realize I would never go back to not having seen that. :cry:

Goatse was easier than tubgirl for me. Now that one haunted me.

I was traumatized for 3 days after seeing it for the first time.

I've become real good at figuring out where a link is going to take me before I click it, and for the rare mistake, I'm even better at not seeing what is on my monitor while I quickly get the hell outta dodge.

I am no longer 12 and do not find shocking images interesting or funny. I never suspected I'd have delicate sensibilities when I was older, but here I am. No tub girl or 2 girls 1 cup for me. In fact I've managed to not fully understand what they are pictures of. I'm awesome at circumventing reality.

I have thus far managed to avoid that one and 2 girls and a cup. I've been told what both are about - damn you JimDave :evil: - but I have never seen them. I pray it stays that way.

In order to preserve your sanity, there are certain things on the interwebs to avoid. I'd add a couple to the list that's already been said.
Spoiler:
#1 - Any website with "chan" in the name
#2 - 2 Girls 1 Cup
#3 - Tubgirl
#4 - Lemon Party
#5 - Goatse
What has been seen cannot be unseen. It's not even worth it to satisfy a morbid curiosity. I have avoided the 2 girls 1 cup as well. The others, not so much.

Never heard of this one.

Pictures of dead or tortured people and animals posted for the sake of entertainment bother me terribly, but my grossout threshold is high.

Does subject appear to have consented to the activity? Is subject capable of walking away from this incident? Okayyyyy, though I sure don't envy whoever has to clean up after.
wot?

To be fair, adolescent power fantasy tripe is way easier to write than absurd existential horror, and every community has got to start somewhere... right?

I have been to the chan sites once and avoid them at all costs now. Someone had a TF2 tag of Goatse so I have seen it (thankfully was not clear). The others I have not seen and plan to do what I can to not see them, mostly because I was told what they are.

Going on a date tonight... at least it feels like one, how we made the arrangements (good ol' days). I'm going to have a glass of wine with our dinner too. I've resisted for quite some time and ready to fall off the wagon with grace. We will soon find out how much my stomach enjoys the glass. Mixing wine with cheese and salami is super yummy but not so with the tummy.

Had to be in to work at 2am Thursday morning for an experiment after only 3 hours sleep.
Finally got to leave at 5pm.
Fell asleep while watching tv with the kids at 6pm.
Have to be back at 7am Friday for second part.
Got a call at 10:30pm that second part start time is moved from 7am to noon.
Now trying to call rest of team to warn them since they all live about 2 hours away.
Experiment is scheduled to last about 9 hours if everything goes well - which it rarely does.
Now I have to try to get back to sleep.
Ugh.

Vanilla extract tasting like ass still bothers me. It makes no sense. And if it tastes like ass you'd think it would make the stuff you put it in taste like ass as well.

Not to mention when she lied to you about dying after eating the clovers. The woman was evil, she just seems nice on the surface. Or she's mellowed.

It's not like we needed to send e-mails to close any last minute business today or anything. :grund: :grund:

I was watching Ken Burns Prohibition documentary the other day (yeah, we're WAY behind on the TiVo), and at one point they were talking about the Anti-Saloon League, and the Womens Christian Temperance Union and they mentioned that one of the non-alcohol related measures they pursued was to raise the female age of consent from 10 to 16.

And now I'm wondering if that is the basis of the term "Sweet Sixteen", which will now never be the same in my head again.

Only about 100 years too late.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3ASwe ... irthday%29" target="_blank
The Online Etymology Dictionary states that the phrase "sweet sixteen" was first recorded 1826. (Online Etymology Dictionary. Douglas Harper, Historian. 06 Apr. 2009. Dictionary.com.) Richard Crawford, in his book America's Musical Life, claims that the phrase became popular in America due to the song "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" (1898) by James Thornton, which was among the most popular songs of the 1890s in the U.S. and sold over a million copies. The phrase remains common to this day, although the song is no longer widely known. dissolvetalk 05:30, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Been participating in bike to work month, had a personal best tonight, 15 miles in 78 minutes

I have some cool lights in my spokes, makes it look 80s Tron style.
I go though a hip urban neighborhood round the time the bars let out, I normally work only Sun-Wed and nobody is around. But tonight, being a 3 day weekend, people were wandering around all over. Got a lot of compliments on those lights.

Unlike the video, I have 3 lights on each wheel, so it looks almost like the shot below, except of course for my fat ass instead of this professional bicycle model.

To get the continuous wheel circle effect, you either need multiple lights (like Jaymon has) or you need to be going really, really fast.

After a quick meeting this morning with a client, I got home and left the front door open so the dog could go lay out on the gated patio. Ten minutes later a yellow parakeet comes flying down the hall, hangs a sharp left at the end, and lands on my PC while I'm working. He cocked his head to the side as if to say "WTF are you going to do about it". While my brain is still trying to process this, he flits down to the floor and picks over the remains of a dog treat, takes a big hop to the water bowl for a sip, and then launches back down the hall and out the front door. I'm surprised he could manage to fly with the two big brass ones he's carrying around.

I have a brand new definition for "Like a BOSS". I'll see about uploading a pic later.

When my Apple booted up, the wallpaper was different. The background is of an universe. So deep and heavy like the realization of my weekend is reflected as a cosmos spectacular. No yellow parakeets or drunken adventures, just life at it's fullest showing me all sides of LOVE this past weekend.

Now I've taken a breath, I believe the wallpaper change is because I deleted an image from the desktop and that is why it went to the generic. I now choose to replace the Universe wallpaper with something equally heavy but a little less deep.
