I wonder if someone has ever gone to confession, and after they told their sins to the priest, the priest just said, “Do you know what? Out. Just get out. No, don’t touch anything, just…leave. NOW!”? I love to masticate. Masticating is the most fun thing to do. In fact, I’m masticating right now. I masticate all day long. ---

why do people who are painting (fences, not pictures) have to get COVERED in it! Why is it that on ‘you’ve been framed’, whenever they get a video clip taken on a digital camera, they horribly digitize it, to a resolution of about 50x50! As if to imply that digital camcorders are crap. They’re not, they have a far better resolution than TV, so they would not look digitized, but would look the same, if not _better_ than standard tape footage, fat cow. And while we are at it - tapes of old people falling over on dance floors… not funny. They never have been funny, and never will be funny. twenty-seven people standing on a weak party table - deserve everything they get. ---

“Competition is character-building” is a phrase I don’t like. Sports are about having fun, not being the winner. I think a vastly more character-building trait is co-operation. ---

My dad and my cat are having a conversation about the state of the universe. She’s on about sex, he’s on about nasty tenants. I’m trying to study, which is why I’m here at SDMB. ---

Many many times, I have fondled my inner child. Is that bad? Turgid is a cool word. So is jejune. Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside a dog, it’s too dark to read. Sleeping on the floor means I can’t pee in my bed. Unless the pressure is way up. Dogs never whistle. Damn. ---
