Post a random thought you've had that other people will think is insane...
And the trick is, you can't criticize anyone else for these thoughts.
We watched Catch and Release the other night and Jennifer Garner's character says that she loves natural disasters and wants people to die in them. Thought that was funny and a little bit mad.
And I thought this would be a great thread.
And you don't even have to have meant these passing thoughts. Just thought they might be fun to read. Thanks!

8. Alright, I'm NOT crazy, someone else just mentioned the banning.
HOW does a poster get tombstoned, and
return UNDER THE SAME NAME the next day?

WTF?

5. I would like to be a benign dictator
I would rule with an iron hand, but do things to help our society rather than take away liberties.

and we plan them when there is nothing else to talk about. It's sooo fun.

37. I've wanted to do that too, but
I guess I believe in the Galadriel philosophy in regard to that; as in what she tells Sam when he says that he wishes she could take the ring because he knows that she'd "set things right."

"That is where it would begin," she says, "But it would not end there."

Power corrupts. :(

11. i think about lame super powers.
like the ability to glow in the dark, pretty useless, the ability to extinguish the flame of one match with your mind, the ability to change the color of your car but you couldn't change it back to the original color.

13. How did people find out that saying Soooooooey is the way to call a pig?
How long did that take. When a pig oinks, does it sound to the pig like it is saying sooey or something?

23. Actually, when I was a girl
on a farm, we called our pigs by saying "Hooey," not Sooey.

Until our pigs realized that my sister dumped the vegetable scraps in the barnyard at the same time I took the meat scraps to the barn cats.

Then the pigs came when I called, "Here, kitty, kitty , kitty..."

Pigs aren't fools.

16. I keep thinking of a line from a John Lennon song:
"Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind." I don't know why that appeals to me....except sometimes I feel that way.

17. I've wondered if Truman Capote...
actually wrote To Kill A Mockingbird and just credited it to his friend Harper Lee because he found it simultaneously too saccharine and controversial to want to have his own name attached to it.

24. Showing my ignorance here, I guess....
Edited on Wed May-07-08 10:22 PM by bookworm65t
I live near Dayton, OH. I get Columbus TV stations on my cable system. Our primary here in Ohio was two months ago. Indiana's primary was yesterday, history now. So why the fuck is John McCain running campaign ads here? He has started running ads here on Monday, and I just saw another one earlier this evening .I thought at first that they were covering the eastern IN audience when they were shown in Dayton, but Columbus stations are running them too.

I thought McCain wsn't all there before this, now he and the Repukes seem even stupider than usual. Is there something else going on that I haven't caught on to?

Just the random thought That I have had for the last couple of days....

I want to be taken to Alaska and left in some pristinely beautiful spot where I'll either die from exposure or make a happy meal for some bear.

G'night! :loveya:

36. I tend to attach names to inanimate objects around the house...
my computer is named Joe. My printer is named Franklin. My tv is Big Dave. And my toothbrush is Etta (long story). Needless to say, I took to naming my gf's stuff too, and I refer to things by their names when talking about them to her. I'm a little worried it may be signs that I'm going crazy...

40. You made me curious, so I looked it up:
I really should go back into Library work, you know? lol

:hi:

In the early days, what the non-stick stuck to was a mechanical issue.
Manufacturers textured a pan by blasting its surface with grit, gouging little pits in the aluminum, or by spraying the cookware with a micro-lumpy ceramic coating or stainless steel, which formed mini-mountains as it hardened.

But the latest non-stick revolution, probably lost on cooks, is a non-mechanical means of sticking non-stick to aluminum. In this method,
which DuPont calls "smooth technology," new-and-improved sticky molecules in the primer coat sink as the pan bakes and chemically lock themselves to smooth, unmolested metal. The upper layers fuse together better, and you get a tougher pan.
