It occurred to me that while we have a thread for random rants and complaints, we don’t have anything similar for random thoughts that are not thread-worthy, but may nevertheless be interesting. It could be argued that this entire subforum is intended for just these sorts of thoughts, but even here, I don’t think most people will start a new thread just to toss out some odd, disjointed thought that goes larking by.
This may be stupid idea and may simply be a reflection of my own disorganized consciousness (and I use the word loosely). But I hope it catches on - especially in a place like this. Not to sound cloying but I think that a lot of the thoughts dopers toss out every day could make for some very rewarding dumpster diving.
My only regret is that I don’t have any random thoughts at the moment that are even worthy of this thread. But it’s not like anyone ever reads the OP - right? This is the best I can do at the moment.
For a cat, waiting is happiness. Like Frank N. Furter, they live for the antici…pation. I always thought that they were hopelessly bored, but they’re not. They just don’t want to spoil the fun by destroying me too quickly.
Why does sour cream have an expiration date? Isn’t it already soured? Also, why are some words impolite? Why would it be more polite to say, for example, “I have a pimple on my behind” than “I have a pimple on my ass.” Not that either one is a great conversation starter or anything, but, they’re just words. Why is one okay but not the other, both are referencing the same thing? Curtains or drapes, couch or sofa, ass or behind, what makes a word vulgar?
I tricked them and fed the dog and the cats all from the same can of dog food tonight. The cats didn’t even know the difference, yet they still leave the dog kibble alone and eat the cat kibble. And still they bring me fleas and dead animals.
This is the best I can do at the moment.
