The Totally Random Thread...

[yoda57us]

In the Grocery store the other day when I spotted this. I don't know why but I couldn't stop laughing....

I have five of them in the kitchen cabinet...

So I thought the say what's exactly on your mind thread would be unlocked when the drama has died down..well it's been a few days and the drama has died down

[yoda57us]

Well, it does have a thousand and one uses!

[Djoser]

I did say that LaurenAus--but then the drama didn't die down for a while. Now that it has, I quite frankly don't want to go back and exhaustively overhaul the thread and reopen it. Not when we have this new, perfectly good 'Post whatever the hell/Random/I like lamp' thread here.

It's not like there's any central theme or purpose that needs to be saved, and this is the 4-5th time we've had them in 10 years. A Random thread is a random thread. So have at it!

[Djoser]

Kinda like duct tape. But a lot slipperier.

Duct tape to hold it together and Coconut oil to make it go! What else do ya' really need???

[Djoser]

Sounds kinky, but with the right girl I'd probably try it...

How is it that I can be so happy in one way, yet so miserable in another sense, about my football team?

The Pats are 7-3 and by any reckoning I should be happy. They are 3 games ahead of the other AFC East teams and, with only 6 games left in the season, it is highly unlikely that they will not win the division and make the playoffs.

But the team's inability to stop the pass is killing me! Every QB seems to have his best game of the year against us. Heck, the only two games that the Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick exceeded 300+ yards were against the Pats and even Mark Sanchez posted 300+ passing yards against us, as did Luck yesterday. If it wasn't for the high octane offense of the Pats, as well as for some timely mistakes by the opposing teams, our record could very well look much worse.

Let's hope that Talib, our new cornerback, is for real and finds his groove. We may be able to outgun bad to mediocre teams, but IMHO we are still very vulnerable to teams who are solid on both sides of the ball and I don't see us going far into the playoffs unless we can shore up our defensive backfield.

Eh, the defense has been weak for years and they still have a great record and made it to the super bowl last season. Gronk is out for four to six weeks. Now THAT worries me!

I hear you Yoda, but I don't think that the defense was this bad in recent years. We are 10 games into the season and average QBs continue to throw against our D at will.

But I agree that losing Gronkowski is going to hurt. On a brighter note though, we probably only need 3 more wins, and possibly even fewer, to lock up the Division as a sincerely doubt that Buffalo, Miami or the Jets are going to win 6 straight games. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed that Gronkowski is back and fully healed up in time for the playoffs.

This has been cracking me up all day

^ I cracked up at the short clip of Doakes saying "Tonton Macoute"... it's just randomly inserted among his obscenities.

I want one of those jobs where people ask, "Do you actually get paid for doing this?"

It's not as easy as it looks....

[chanzep]

my bodyclock is fucked and I need to get up for dayshift argh!

[unbeleavable]

Swollen is the feeling of the day today, I couldn't button my top button of my shirt today to put my neck tie on...lol I took down 5 bottles of wine yesterday plus multiple plates LARGE..

[rickdugan]

Incredible food cooked in my own kitchen...

Loads of family surrounding us, laughing and sharing stories while we ate to bursting...

The giggles and laughs of happy children, my own and their cousins, as they played at the park and then in my house...

And then, to top it all off, with my children tucked in their beds, warm and snug, and our family members on their way home with full bellies and warm memories, the Pats game started. I had to stifle my cheers as they utterly demolished the hapless Jets.

What a great day all around.

[yoda57us]

Took my mom out for Thanksgiving dinner. Ate well, drank some good wine. Made a life altering decision....

Just another day....

So I find myself across town with a check that needs depositing at a bank branch I've never been to before.

I walk in and sign the check and start chatting with the teller. Out of habit, I pull out my license and slide it across the counter.

She smiles. "Oh, no need for that, I know who you are, Mr. [AGT]"

(Every once in a while all the TV I did in my career suddenly becomes worthwhile.)

It's also evidence of how brilliantly geeky everybody in this town is. A bank teller is enough of a language and technology geek to actually know who I am.

[unbeleavable]

^^ Yeah I know, when I walk into subway they know my sandwich...lol

[All Good Things]

^^^ I thought for sure you'd be famous for your bodice-ripping romance novel covers, no?

[unbeleavable]

NO, I'm very simple... I don't play games..

Yeah, that's some good sh*t. Food tastes amazing cooked with that AND it helps lose weight!
