Of course now we are getting phone calls and messages about other places that want to hire him....dude has his pick of like...4 jobs. Lets hope that the part time one is worth him taking, he really wants in on the ground floor of building something.
If the others are offering full-time jobs, wouldn't the overall pay be more worthwhile? Of course, I don't know the whole picture ... but I do understand economics and subsistence 101. :D
Just because the pay would be better doesn't mean it would be a better job. Hubby wants something good, not another Best.

True, but those children. They're hungry and they want toys! :D

Did you not read further down where I said...No not that.

Oh, my dear. But that was too simple. Neither was I.

Neither was I.

More people need to be as laid back and optimistic as you. :D

Don't forget goats! Goats make terrific pets and make it so you don't have to mow the lawn. Just make sure they're chained (not tied, they can eat through that) or in a pen so they don't go eating other stuff. Like your garbage, your garage, your car, your house, small children...

Just don't expect your lawn to be pristine where you never have to get out a mower. My woman's parents have a neighbor with a couple acres of property and at least two score goats running amok. Ravenous, but with a direction and intent all their own.

We were never to discuss The Planet of the Apes in any extant form. You promised.

I can so relate to this. I have a 14 year old weiner and what with the gray hair and lazy movement it is so hard to look at without feeling sad. When it goes I'm done.

Come now. Surely your scars both psychic and colonic have sunk beneath the skin by now, dear Gangy? I know it was hard for you to be tossed around by those engorged gorillas like Samsonite luggage slathered in liquid viagra, but surely the time has come to heal and move on.

If there was a healing process to move on from, we'd be omnivorous again. But no, the silverback had other ideas. Terrible ideas. I get choked up just dwelling on it.

But though we both became vegetarians after that tragic day at the zoo exhibit... you because of... well... and me to show solidarity with your choice... I never understood what could have happened in there that made you so despise sausages. It's just an irrationa-- oh... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Nevermind.

Beautiful. Like watching Dorian Gray fist fight his own portrait.

Exactly. We shall not speak of this again. Moving on.

Don't mention anything by Oscar Wilde around Gangy. Makes him think of Oscar Meyer.


Did I mention I have a very old weiner?

Yes, many times... during session.

Afternoon folks!

As for animals, three dogs, two cats. The cats are nine now, and I was complimented on 'my lovely kittens' the other day ...

*sigh*

Not that I don't love my cats, but I am really not a cat person. Those cats are immortal. They will be pissing on my grave, I am sure. Fresh air and lots of vermin do Felis domesticus good...

One word:

Bacon.

Hmmmm Bacon.

And to think I stopped eating pork at age eight because I saw and then read Charlotte's Web. Why it was my misplaced love for cartoon realized pigs that probably ushered me into my present vegetarian status (That and Planet of the Apes... long story). Just think, a formative early experience with a surly hog or a scat frisbeeing chimp and I might have become a different fellow altogether.

Honestly I am trying to cut back. MMMMMMMMM Veggies... Is it wrong that I really like veggie tales??

Okay what are these things, I almost always see at least one FAWTL thread on the OTD boards at any given time and it seems like nothing more than a thread full of non-sequiters.

Ah, it's pretty much done now. The prime troll got all whiny and fled.

Anyway, this was the thread

Nailed it on the head.

FAWTL = Forums are way to long. It's in response to the number of posts some threads attract, this one is the ultimate version of that. Post for posting sake.

Well, FAWTL stands for Forums Are Way Too Long - a thread once started by a noob who complained about Paizo not limiting the number of pages or posts on a thread. Being facetious, he jokingly mentioned a thread being 550 pages, so we proceeded to try and make that a reality with the very thread he started. Didn't get to the goal with that one before Post Monster had to mercy kill it. So we created FAWTL #2, then #3, and so on, and so on....

Think of it as a chat room with permanent posts.

Incidently, #3 and #4 each surpassed the 550 page mark.

They're filming a scene for a tv show right outside my house. Like literally just outside. There are crowds of people out watching, and because of my severe hatred of crowds and people I've closed the blinds.

So, if it's a crowd of people, as opposed to a crowd of...let's say...pot bellied pigs, your hatred would be twice as strong?
