Octopus Overlords

EVERY time I come home with fried chicken my stepson is already there in the house waiting for his.
I can't believe people don't believe in evil psychics.

We were in a huge hotel (one of those with glass elevators, a pool in the lobby, and a restaurant on the penthouse level).

I was very sad to discover RW and myself were scripted as the comic relief.

That's so weird, Kayla and I JUST had a conversation at lunch about how we feel pretty confident we'd survive the zombie apocalypse and we were talking about me, her, ChrisGrenard, and TheMeal meeting up with my brother after it happened. You and RW weren't in our conversation, but I did say how we'd try to meet up in the plains of Nebraska and send out a signal to others...I guess you were the others.

Hates you. Hates you forever.

Spock, Kurt and McCoy and Ensign Ricky are beaming down to the planet. Guess who is not coming back.

I don't have to outrun the zombies. I just need to outrun you. I will promise not to kneecap you before running though as I'd rather we both make it but the first chomp you suffer I'm hitting the road.

Wouldn't you know it. Last night I had me a zombie dream.

for about 50 yards before the running makes my lungs explode and the remaining zombies shuffle over to munch on my remains.

Remember, Neal has asthma, so if you have to sacrifice one of us....

What happens inside the chrysalis?
The caterpillar parts are liquefying and re-arranging to become the cells, tissues and organs of the butterfly. In a few days, you will be able to see the outline of the wings of the butterfly beneath the pupal shell!

What is the red liquid I see as my butterflies emerge? Your butterflies will expel a red liquid called meconium. This is the leftover part of the caterpillar that was not needed to make the butterfly. This is stored in the intestine of the butterfly and expelled after the butterfly emerges.

On a dream note, I woke up at 2:30 this morning after having a dream that I was hiding in a hose from an armed intruder. The loud report of them shooting me in the head certainly got my heart beating.

Dude, keep your meconium off the carpet.

You were hiding in a hose? Dreams are weird.

Don't you have some Canadian bugs to recycle into an Indian burial ground or something?

Worse. I have to go cover reception.

How old does it have to be before it stops being graffiti and starts being of archaeological interest?

I have to say that after all these years I still love "Fade into You" by Mazzy Star. Plus it always reminds me of how hot she was (is?).

That's one of the worst songs off the album, too. Hope's writer for that album was so on top of his game. It was like the Doors renewed for early 90s and it holds the test of time better than most Doors song as well. So That Tonight I Might See is one of my favorite albums of all time and totally inconsistent with my passion for high energy music. But that emotional chaos is just so at the top of its game. The turmoil and immediacy of "Wasted" flowing right into that patterned clarity of eternity "Into Dust."

There's a sort of wonderful irony spent dulling yourself in quiet room losing yourself in appreciating this absolute call to be out there leading a life.

I really like her duet with the Jesus and Mary Chain, Sometimes Always.

Fucking cancer. Just found out that my uncle's melanoma has returned and spread, and it's not looking good. I'm not particularly close to him, but he's a wonderful man with a very tight-knit family. This is going to suck for them.

Seriously, fuck you, cancer.

Me too!

I was in a war-torn city and ended up hiding in a mailbox. Zombies were clawing at it trying to find a way in, and then I woke up.

Don't find yourself in a mailbox with zombies clawing at it in a war-torn city. Get rid of cable.

Sorry, that commercial is stuck in my head.

I can get behind that statement.

Condition or no condition the guys get sacrificed before the girls regardless. 1 of us and many of you can repopulate more quickly. Plus, Neal may have asthma but he is also much smarter than I am so will probably have some form of mechanized transport to save himself. I'll be the one trying to skateboard on a towline behind him. I am, according to Chaosraven, part of the comic relief in this scenario after all.

You live in lake state. Get on a boat. I've never seen a movie with a swimming zombie.

As my car is now a month out of warranty, I'm being forced to learn how a Tire Pressure Monitor works via google. I'm totally ascared and hope these guys are talking out their asses.

I don't think I like the idea of an RF transciever on my tires controlling my lights and horn.

Are you looking at buying new rims or are you just looking for a reason to complain?

Damn. I just got re-orged!

coopasonic wrote:Are you looking at buying new rims

Looking? No. Hoping I'm not going to be forced into it. Yes. We'll see. I put air in the tire today and couldn't find a leak. (and learned the light should go off when I just drive the car around, let it hit the proper amount of rotations and the light will turn off itself off)

I just find it a bit freaky that someone with an RF tool can control so much of my car through my tires. It's somewhere between paranoia and knowing there are people out there who do look at this stuff and then come up with ways to break it for fun and or profit.

Sorry to hear that. May you never be ret-conned.

I am sitting on bad news, my favorite niece was in a car accident last week. The question, Is She OK? is answered with a no, no she is not OK. Too many broken bones to list, she hasn't woken up yet, and doctors are fairly sure she has a torn brain, a shear or something. She is 17, a good quiet responsible kid. Its very hard feeling so completely helpless.

My eldest niece is 18 and my favorite person on Earth. I can not imagine being in your shoes. My thoughts, hopes, and prayers for a better outcome.

Sorry to hear that, J. Being so young gives her better-than-average odds for a good recovery...so there's that.

Man, I'm so sorry. I hope that she's able to make a full recovery.

So very sorry. My prayers for your niece.

My thoughts are with you and your family, Jaymon.

Poor girl.

This strikes to the heart of anyone with loved ones in that age category. We can all too easily empathize. Hoping for the best possible outcome for your family.

+ 1,000,000

Sorry to hear about your uncle.

Also, sorry to hear the news Jaymon.



(I really need to stop responding to posts before reading the entire thread)

So very sorry to read all this.
There are a lot of people going through tough times and I wish all the best. Wish I could do more.

Seriously. Makes me put my broken headphones into perspective. Here's hoping for some good news -- I'm never surprised to hear about the amazing recoveries that defy medical predictions. The human body -- particularly one that is still growing -- is an amazing contraption.
