Do they squeak when you rub them now or do they still just buzz?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COS!

May you eat all of the perfect health cakes.

I really hate personal info on the internets, so the FB birthdate is a hoax. I went ahead and corrected it yesterday after a bunch of errant well wishes, but it still shows the incorrect date. It is the 22nd of this month, same as Foos.

Hey, mine too.

Still buzzing, but now they seem upset.

Since I got a couple laughy faces I'll tell the story befOre I get more beer and taco bell. tl/dr I crapped my pants visiting my brother when he was at school because I couldn't find the bathroom in the dorm at 4am. Sent them to the lobby.

Go ahead and Guster this thing up a little bit.

I was visiting my brother (year younger than i)when he was living in the dorms at the University of Iowa. We did the usual bar thing when some of my friends, who also go to Iowa, say they are having a house party, tell us to come by. On the way there, I push my brother into a prickly bush and I thought it was hilarious until he destroyed my eyebrow with a right hook. Needless to say I was covered in blood and should have gotten stitches, but I held the gas station rag to my eye and we were on our (about 5 of us) to my friends house party. We show up and my shirt is covered in blood and I'm holding a dirty rag to my face, and my friends are all like "what happened and ####!" then I told them what I just typed. So anyways, at this party, my brother and I decide to have a chocolate syrup chugging contest (who ever has 2 bottles of this?) and we end up getting chocolate all over theIr couch and are asked to leave. So we steal a case of beer from a frat house porch and sneak it into his dorm. Yada yada yada I end up wandering the dorm looking for the ####ter at 4am covered in blood and chocolate syrup. I ended up in the elevator room thingy and decided I cOuldnt hold it any longer. Took off my shorts and boxers and crapped into them on the floor. Sent them to the lobby. Woke up in the hallway, leaned up against some kids doorway, to him kicking me saying "mr. Are you okay?" with out any pants on, covered in blood and chocolate.

C. Thomas Howell had some sort of serious illness, I forget what, that caused him to lose so much weight. He still gets good roles, tho.

Is GMTAN FF going to happen? Is it full/can I play? :interested:

How's this for a win: Called Sirius XM to cancel my subscription. I noticed this morning that they debited my account $56 (three months) and that's money I need for things other than a radio in my car. Guy offered a few things (like paying for two months and getting the rest free until December). Told him I appreciated the gesture but I really needed to get the full $56 back. So he credited the $56 and gave me two months free. I just have to call before September 10 to either cancel or stay activated.

I have a free six months with my new truck. Looking online it looks like you can haggle for a year for $60 or get 5 mumfs for $25. I'm not sure how much I need it with spotify/pandora/mlbapp already in tow, but if it's $60 for a year I might do it.

I've been getting the 6mo @ $25 since my free subscription ran out in 2011. I also got them to throw in Howard Stern fo' FREE each time!

i guess its a good thing i dont have too many poop stories to tell.

my rocket launcher (dog) had the loose poops for about 3 or 4 days. I started feeding her pumpkin pie filling and she is now laying perfectly solid yard mines.

That's my poop story for the day.

 

[General Malaise]

I'd like to deposition Depp for his disgusting Lone Ranger decision.

You didn't go see that, did you? Please tell me no...

No, of course not. My buddy says he saw an early release of it, but I'm 80% sure it's a fishing trip so I just keep responding with "nope" when he brings it up.

Phew....

Hey, nice band-aid, Patrick Star!

The longest feces ever verified was produced by an American over 2 hr 12 min., which was officially measured at 12 ft 2 in.

ex future ex mrs fish has four chickens. used to have five, but her daughter let one out and it ran away to become coyote food.

they're actually pretty low maintenance, and they'll eat any scraps plus the organic chicken feed (yeah, she's one of those). she's compared the cost of the food to the benefit of the eggs, and says it's a wash. she gets 2-3 eggs a day from them...but they stopped laying when the days got short, and she had to buy a light and a timer.

pretty simple to keep as long as you don't put a mattress on them.

Yeah, it's a big 'thing' here in Portland. My buddy built a coop and has a few of them now. We went over there and part of the entertainment was bringing out one chicken they called "Lightning", letting him go and then timing the kids to see who could catch him (her?) the fastest. I'm guessing this is what we did before TV and sex.

I know a guy who used to have some chickens. When he'd have parties he'd put one in a big cage that had a grid on the floor. Each square of the grid was a different playing card. We would all buy a card or two, depending on how many people were in. At some point the chicken would drop a deuce and the pot went to the person with the corresponding card. We called it chicken#### poker. We're degenerates awesome.

I think I ended up at $70 for 13 months. I have no idea how much lower you could get them, but I'm sure it's less than that. I didn't press very hard. The longer you subscribe the lower the annual fee they're willing to give. I've been wondering myself whether I'd be better off just using Spotify and killing the XM. I do like the sports options, though.

i guess its a good thing i dont have too many poop stories to tell.

i sharted on a first date once. the girl was getting in my car to bring her back to my place for some and as she was going around to the passenger's side of the car, i figured this was my only shot at letting one rip. I went for it, but before i could sense the impending danger, it was too late and a little bit squirted out. It smelled terrible and i knew i couldn't hop in the car like that, so i pretended to drop my keys on the ground, bent over to pick them up and gave myself a wedgie on the way up to kinda tuck and hide it. When we got back to my place, told her to make herself a drink and i quickly wiped up (I love you charmin wet wipes) and decided to roll with it and just come out of the bathroom naked. Surprisingly, it worked and she joined me in nakedness and then we practiced making babies. I dated her for several months and still keep in touch with her to this day

We got the six mos for $25, but it doesn't include the MLB channel or the baseball games, so I will probably cancel after the promo ends

Hahaha. The Tonka Truck Races were fun too. We'd take long buffet tables and mark off 5 or 6 lanes with masking tape. Then we'd put tape width-wise across the table so that each lane had 20 or so squares between the starting line and finish line. Everybody would bring their own little vehicle to race. They'd line up at the starting line and then dice rolls would determine how far each car moved in its lane. Winner takes the pot, which sometimes got huge. We'd sometimes have so many people we'd do bracket style tourneys or heats.

Best part of this one was the side action that would get going. "I've got $10.00 on the dump truck!" "I've got $20 on the cement mixer!" "$40 on the Batmobile!" "I've got $100 on the Barbie Dream Car!!!!"

Hahaha. The Tonka Truck Races were fun too. We'd take long buffet tables and mark off 5 or 6 lanes with masking tape. Then we'd put tape width-wise across the table so that each lane had 20 or so squares between the starting line and finish line. Everybody would bring their own little vehicle to race. They'd line up at the starting line and then dice rolls would determine how far each car moved in its lane. Winner takes the pot, which sometimes got huge. We'd sometimes have so many people we'd do bracket style tourneys or heats.

Best part of this one was the side action that would get going. "I've got $10.00 on the dump truck!" "I've got $20 on the cement mixer!" "$40 on the Batmobile!" "I've got $100 on the Barbie Dream Car!!!!"

I think "degenerate" was actually the right word.

Seriously. We all seemed to have more money before we had real jobs, and we had no problem betting it on just about anything. That's changed a little as we've gotten older and taken on more responsibilities in our real lives. Still, I'd love a good Tonka Truck Race right about now.

Guster has "trusting" eyes. I would tell him all my poop stories on our first date.

this level of divulging isn't uncommon, just awesome

When I was 10 or so, I pooped in my swimming trunks right before the boat started. I had to fish it out of the meshing lining when i was done water skiing.

I also pooped in my boxers at my brothers dorm at the Uninversity of Iowa at like 4am because I was too wasted to find the bathroom down the hall. I ended up taking them off and sending them down to the lobby in the elevator.

bee karma

My wife wants to keep a couple chickens for the eggs. How hard is it to keep the little buggers alive with the cats and raccoons we have around here?

ex future ex mrs fish has four chickens. used to have five, but her daughter let one out and it ran away to become coyote food.

they're actually pretty low maintenance, and they'll eat any scraps plus the organic chicken feed (yeah, she's one of those). she's compared the cost of the food to the benefit of the eggs, and says it's a wash. she gets 2-3 eggs a day from them...but they stopped laying when the days got short, and she had to buy a light and a timer.

pretty simple to keep as long as you don't put a mattress on them.

Yeah, it's a big 'thing' here in Portland. My buddy built a coop and has a few of them now. We went over there and part of the entertainment was bringing out one chicken they called "Lightning", letting him go and then timing the kids to see who could catch him (her?) the fastest. I'm guessing this is what we did before TV and sex.

I know a guy who used to have some chickens. When he'd have parties he'd put one in a big cage that had a grid on the floor. Each square of the grid was a different playing card. We would all buy a card or two, depending on how many people were in. At some point the chicken would drop a deuce and the pot went to the person with the corresponding card. We called it chicken#### poker. We're degenerates awesome.

My friends used to bet on which chair/bar stool would be chosen by the next person to arrive.

On a completely unrelated note, you've made the only compelling argument I can find in this thread for owning chickens.

Organic orange-flavored free range chicken with MSG-free genetically unaltered fried rice and non farm-raised crab-free crab rangoon is the best.

Sad to see one of the greatest raisin proponents of our time doesn't understand the importance of conservation.

Well, to be fair the pouch also contains dried cherries, blueberries and cranberries. I'd say the raisins were about as popular as a date with girl who has butt worms.
