These gents don't seem very keen on giving you a good bargain, Anius. Your old pal lucky7, on the other hand...

Yeah what about him? He's fresh!

Liberty's Edge

Excuse ME, young...well, I can't really say young, can I, seeing as how you're several years older than I am...

You can say many things about me, but "he's fresh" has not, nor has it ever been, one of the true ones.

you're like 15 years old. that makes you veal.

EDIT: On second thought I may be way too deadpan for this kind of joke.

15 and a HALF...almost.


You're all disgusting. Aging does not improve the flavor. Believe me, I've checked. Several times.

Ah, you're nothin' but a beached whale carcass.


Have you ever seen Veal calves, it's not a pleasant thing.


15 is in the opposite, non-aging direction from 22, numbnuts

Numbnuts. My aunt uses that a lot.

Canonically no not that I can remember unless you count the intro fight with Saskuke that got interrupted. Now in filler and movies he is a badass.

indeed he only wins off screen.

I do not think I talk softly but still people have a tendency to not hear me even when I'm right next to them. I figure it's because my voice is not pleasing to most people's ears, since I'm not pleasing to most people's eyes either.

Yeah, you may be talking more quietly than you think you are.

Again, my mother has the same problem. Asking her to speak up usually solicits the response of "I shouldn't need to yell, you need to listen better." She doesn't realize how quietly she normally speaks if she's not trying to yell or otherwise actively project her voice.

Yeah it could be possible

It doesn't usually come up in the middle of conversation. Maybe because if I'm in a conversation, I'm already confident enough to speak in a louder voice?

It's probably that in part, and in part because you already have the person's attention and thus they're better able to focus on listening to/hearing you. As long as they don't have an issue like I do with filtering sound and focusing on specific noises or voices, it's usually easier to follow along with a conversation you're already mentally devoted to.

that's another good point.

I have a problem not so much with hearing people but with understanding what they're saying, especially if they didn't get my attention first or if they're talking too fast/mumbly or there's background noise, in which case it just sounds like a jumbled mess of human vocalizations until I'm able to process [the second half of] what you said. It's not an ear problem but a brain problem.

I can only barely hear you right now, but that's because the voices in my head talk so loudly.

I also hate people who interrupt me assuming they knew what I was going to say and then when I ask them something related to the end of the sentence they cut me off at, they're like 'what are you talking about?'.

I have a family member who LITERALLY interrupts 90% of everthing the other person is saying. She's even mocked me when I say 'could you please let me finish?'/'Please stop interrupting me' saying 'he's just like his father'. No, I'm just like EVERYONE who hates being interrupted!

If she put a dollar in a swear jar for everytime she's interrupted someone, someone could start a novelty swear jar company for that market.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

I've run into people like that before. "Let me finish!" is kind of a knee-jerk reaction at this point.

My family loves to monologue, I can pinpoint the exact moment they tune out what I'm saying to work on their next monologue in their head. I credit my wife for helping me break the cycle :-)

It's kinda dumb that Starbucks defaults to the 1 shot, 2 shot, 3 shot formula for espresso drinks when every other coffee establishment goes 2 shot, 3 shot, 4 shot (I'm looking at you, Peet's). I splurge and get coffee out once a week by getting a small but potent coffee and my wallet is sad :(

easy pass is 20 miles per hour.

actually going this speed will get you rear ended and clipped by people on either side of you.

Fun fact.

Due to the dark roast and extraction method, an espresso has less caffeine in it than a regular cup of full or half city roast.

I'm not *quite* up to drip coffee, but closer. I get extra shots most of the time because I prefer the ratio of espresso to milk in taste.

Liberty's Edge

Not quite sure it fits here, but whatever.

While helping a friend's teenage kid with their English homework I was flabbergasted to learn that they and their classmates didn't understand why Joe and Steve committed suicide in All My Sons.

The entire concept of war profiteering being not just illegal but shameful confused them.

People speeding up to get to a red light in front of the car next to them. I mean.. WHY?

I will get to the red light before you, even if it's the last thing I do!!!

Yeah those guys crack me up.

Cops pull me over. Tell me i've been going over the white line a bit and ask if I've been drinking.

I tell them no, somoene's been tailgating me for the last five miles , putting their lights RIGHT in the rear view mirror, which is pretty dumb since I'm driving a Chevy suburban and if i stop suddenly I'm not even going to notice an impact that crumples their car like an accordion. I've been pulling a little to the right hoping they'd get the hint and pass me already.

Kind of surprised that's the response and not a citation for smartmouthing the officer.

You can't get ticketed for that, my friend Chad and I one summer decided to follow around this rookie cop that f&!#ed with us on the last day of school. So the whole summer whenever he had foot patrol we'd follow half a block behind saying nyah!!

a~%$~+@ couldn't do a single thing, not that he didn't try but all the disorderly conduct tickets got thrown out and he almost got fired for them:-D

Hard to tell. Cops seem to drive rather dangerously a lot, even when there's no reason. (which is why we had to cut a few police cars out of the trees in the park...)

I guess being above the law means to them they're also above road safety.

Did it involved multiple applications of mild blunt trauma to the back of your head when you started monologueing (monologuing? monologing?) to her?

Cynicism, I think. Things that used to shock and offend us are now just expected.

In some ways it makes it easier to catch government/corporate corruption, but it also makes it easier to just write off as "the way things always work".

Teeth are not considered a medical problem. If any of someones other body parts were infected and falling off they'd get fixed, but for some reason not teeth.

That's not entirely accurate. Trolls normally only have loot appropriate to their CR, and they die after you shut down their regeneration.

Troll insurance companies are the worst. Because THEY can regrow teeth and limbs they won't insure yours!

Admittedly you get great rates opting into their fire and acid schemes, but short of your acidic blob pet getting angry with you I can't see when it'll be......aaaaand blobby's angry with me.
