Mrs B said she did wonder why I was leaving school mid-morning looking so awful, but put it out of her mind when she smelled the chocolate.

cake and death?

Dicing with death whilst slicing the cake.

Stop using whirling halberds then -that's way too interesting

Only available around Valentine's Day, this is probably the most decadence you can shove into a little $6.65 square. It's a layer of the bakery's classic chocolate cake topped with ganache made with Stumptown espresso and a fudgy layer of Theo Chocolate, all dipped in dark chocolate ganache with some chocolate shavings thrown on top.

I noticed it was very hard for sundae and glatt to be totally boring. Infinite monkey did a good job editing for drollness however. Still funny but droll.

We should have more boring threads. This was witty and interesting. :)

It is hot today.

It was hot yesterday.

It will be hot tomorrow, too.

Only in the 37 - 40 range, not so hot as to be newsworthily hot. Just hot enough to make it impractical to do anything interesting.

Snow piling up here.

February rain in PDX ... now that is truly boring

This thread could be used at Guantanamo for interrogating detainees by boring them to tears rather than water boarding. It'd be eco-friendly!

You're both on report for being interesting in the boring thread.

Well, it's interesting to me.

Last night I dreamed I was looking after Posh & Becks new baby girl.
There were two odd things about that - apart from the obvious.

One was that she was about the size of a mobile phone, although that wasn't odd in the dream.
The other was that she was very obviously, definitely mixed race (dual heritage).
Even in the dream I found this puzzling.
I'd met all the grandparents, and both parents and nary a lick of the tar brush to be seen. No-one else mentioned it so I thought I'd just get on with my job.

And then today, I switch on the radio to listen to Danny Baker, and who is a guest on the show?
Reece Shearsmith - one of my heroes!

He has no connection to the dream.
Otherwise that would have been interesting.

Another great save from what was starting to be interesting.

Well done, Sundae !

I have apple cider K cups.

dude theres a cream for that

now I'm having hot cocoa

Does that cure the hiccups? Because I have the hiccups.

Holding my breath is the only thing that ever worked for me.
And sometimes it took its own sweet time to work too.

Oddly, visualisation made it more effective, once I knew exactly what was happening.
The mind is a muscle that can move the world (so says Stephen King, and why should I disbelieve him).

Do you still have them, Ms. Fobble?

They left... and then came back. And now they're gone again, but I fully expect they'll be back at least once more before the night is through.

If you use the lid of the pot just right they'll go away. ;)

I woke up feeling normal today. I've blown my nose at least once, already. I think my temperature is probably between 98.5 and 98.7 degrees F. I'll have a sandwich for lunch, maybe that'll keep me on an even keel.

I have to get motivated enough to go to the store to buy some food for dinner.

Make some milquetoast.

Clod is cheating by talking about goblins in the Boring Thread.

I've got the tiniest little headache, I almost wouldn't mention it.

I had one of those last night.

And when I woke up this morning, I felt like my neck was a little stiff. When I turned my head just so, I'd get a mild shooting pain. But I didn't feel it again after my shower.

:eek:

ok, so if i am (according to the tag line) Vice-President of Resentment... whose the president?

i'm noticing that the user tag lines aren't very random. who comes up with these?

They are preprogrammed, changing with the number of posts you've made, and are the same for everyone who doesn't go to their "User CP" (control panel) to enter their own user title. Here you go:

I painted a wall last night. I watched it dry.

I came to work today. Took the usual route.

It was sprinkling when I got out of the Metro this morning. Now my umbrella is a little wet. My office is too small to open it up and let it dry out of the way, and the little nook in the hallway where I used to let it dry is currently occupied by a new person. I opened it up and it's partially blocking my doorway now.

I'd post a picture, but that would be too interesting.

I have an umbrella. It's grey.

that post goes in the Depressing new Thread.

of course, you'll have to create that first. I can't be bothered. too bored.

Time to empty and refill the dishwasher. I might run it right away...or wait to put some dinner dishes in, too.

Laundry, till dinner is done.

On the way to work I didn't have an accident.

That is a crazy coincidence, dude: I didn't have an accident either! :eek:

Congrats to Spexx and infi on the progress they've made with bladder control.

This is not just boring, it is a useful reminder to me to get back to MY boring laundry!

Queen of the House
(to the tune of King of the Road)

Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more

I got old floors to wax and scrub
And there's a dirty old ring in the tub
I'll get a maid someday
But till then I'm, queen of the house

No time to fix my hair
Need a new dress to wear
Old clothes will have to do
'Cause kids all need new shoes

I got bridge club each Tuesday night
He goes out with the boys and gets tight
But when the evening's through
He comes a home to the, queen of the house

I know the milkman, the iceman they come every day
They give me tips on the horses to play
And when I got the time to spare
I sit and wish that I'd picked a rich millionaire

I sing up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix
Four kids from one to four
Pretty soon there'll be one more

Oh, by Sundays I'm mighty glad
We send the kids to his mom and dad
It's the day that makes me glad
I'm, queen of the house

Up every day at six
Bacon and eggs to fix ...
