I admire your staying power. . .



But the commercials say you might want to see a doctor.

Did you see that someone gave that cake to the Daily Show?

All Saint's Day follows Halloweeen*

Maybe there should be a date of hate after Valentine's Day to even things up?



* yes I know technically Halloween precedes ASD....


;)

I don't see anything wrong with that statement, technical or otherwise?

Perhaps Feb 15th can be Payback For The Disappointment Day.

All Saints' day is also know as all Hallow's day which is where the word Halloween comes from.....

Yes, but ASD is November 1st, and Halloween is October 31st, so ASD does follow Halloween?

not a queue, a circle

It's a chicken-and-the-egg kind of question. Halloween is an eve like Christmas Eve--Christmas could in theory exist without a Christmas Eve, but a Christmas Eve with out a Christmas after it wouldn't be an eve after all. Chronologically you are right, it's one then the other, but ASD is sort of assumed to be more important and "exist" first, even if it happens second.

And it travels anti-clockwise

I understand Samhain is a couple thousand years old whereas the church didn't move ASD to Nov 1st until around 736AD, allegedly to stomp out Samhain by telling pagans they could be Christian and still party. The previous eve was when all the fun really was so that evolved into Halloween, although unlike when I was a youth, today most activity for children is before evening, and adults on the nearest weekend.

So ASD and Samhain are on Nov 1st, with Halloween on Oct 31st. Halloween evolved from Samhain which is older then ASD, and is the day before. Therefore Halloween comes first on the calendar and chronologically.

Nice. :thumbsup:

I know my computer will jump a hour ahead on it's own tonight, but I can't remember if my new clock does or not. I think it does but I'd have to dig the booklet out and read the tiny print(I know what file drawer it's in), or wait till morning and see... and drink some more tonight. I'll put it to a vote, all in favor of waiting till morning say hell yeah. Hell yeah. The hell yeahs have it. If it doesn't reset, I hope messing with it doesn't make me late for church. I have to leave time to find one on the internet first. Hmm... maybe I shouldn't drink more.

Hell yeah!

I have to turn my phone off and back on for the change to take effect. There's no provision for changing/resetting the time on my phone.

By the way, the Hell Yeahs were right, the clock fixed itself. :celebrat:

In 2004, he was inducted into the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame; then in 2010, received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation.

tw will be along to tell how it all went down the toilet. ;)

I really should go to bed. It's a quarter to four in the morning.

My brother and I decided to commemorate the death of the baby Jesus with some mushroom tea. It was fun. We were down at mum's house, 'cause my youngest niece is having a birthday party and my brother and sis-in-law didn't to cramp her style by being there.

I got back at about 12:30 and disappeared into the youtube vortex.

So now I really should go to bed.

I think some flight attendants need to to be reintroduced to reality.

By having the everloving shit stomped out of them.

The guy who stood up for the woman with the stroller on American Airlines? I wish that guy had just stomped, and stomped on that flight attendant. Fucking glorified waiter.

Would you like a denim jacket with fake mud that doesn't wash off?:rolleyes:

or flake off onto the rich corinthian leather of your expensive car or couch.

Poser.

eta:

Who the fuck gets covered in mud that way? I'm no "Dexter", but that patter is only seen on Nickelodeon, and usually in green goo.

Poser.

other random thought... more a hopeful one.. I'm through 2008-2015, mostly done with 2016, and have part of 2017 in the books.. big thread update coming.

Yay!

The Director of the FBI was just about to close in on me when all of the sudden the President fired him! I suppose my plan for world domination will go forward after all.

Need an Oddjob?

I don't have a Swiss Army tophat, but I got a razor-sharp banjo.

And I ain't doing anything atm.

A passive-aggressive evil genius.:p:

I hope he brings us back something good.

Eh, fuck him, I'd rather see Jackie come back. :lol:

I've been slightly obsessing over The Thick of It and In the Loop and Tuckerisms keep popping into my head. I felt a childish urge to sign-off calls at work with 'Fuckety-bye'

I resisted.

Nor did I tell our stand-in team leader to pop a jaunty bonnet on her KPI scores and ram them up the shitter with a lubricated horse cock.

But I enjoyed thinking about saying it in the team meeting. Which is the important thing.

:p

There was a person from Home Office (BritEnglish: Head Office, not The Home Office) showed up at work today to do some Safety Walk thing. Is it bad that within minutes of meeting her, I eye-bombed her pants (trousers)?

lol

I had to Google it.

she had a peacock feather design at the bottom of each pant leg begging for googly eyes.

Sounds appropriate.

Was she aware of the vandal-eyes-ing? Or was this a stealth operation?

Aware. :D but I think she thought it was an idle musing, not one I could follow through on in seconds :lol:

Psh... I bet you say the same about urinal cake.

And Pontefract cakes

Well, if you have a nice frosting...

how about Jaffa Cakes.....?

A dolphin just flew over my house.

No, one of these:

Not a common sight in these parts. Very distinct sound.

Today is the mid point of the year.

182 days down, 182 days to go.

2 minutes from now, noon (1:00 pm, if your on summer time), is the exact middle of the year.

:)

I meant 'you're'. I'm very sorry.

Sorry urrbody! Sorry!

Outrageous. Get your coat and don't show you're face around here again!

:P

At least not until he realizes "midpoint" is one word.

So...

Is there a bus?

Should I get an Uber?

How's this Coventry thing work, anyhow?

Outstanding.

Bartenders are...(sigh)...they're just great.

God bless them, everyone.

I'm still sad about the death of Robin Williams.

The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks during the daytime today. If a really big one was visible streaking through the sky during daylight, I wonder how many people would think we were under North Korean attack.

looking for trouble...

An asshole is just someone with a completely unique sense of humor

Finally, somebody gets me.

Are these wusses gonna let this guy get away with that?

Consider this: when you drive a car, you're putting your life in your feet's hands.

Puts a whole new twist on things, don't it? ;)

Only if ya steer with ya feets.









I kinda miss feet. No. Footfootfoot, remember him?

I pray for him every night.
