So, I was at WalMart the other day and all the big-ass bags of Halloween candy were incredibly cheap. So I picked up a mixed bag of Reeses goodies - Reeses Pieces (yum), regular ol’ peanut butter cups (very few things are BETTER than these), Reese FastBreaks (decently chewy), and…inside-out-reeses. Peanut-buttery…stuff, on the outside, chocolatey…stuff, on the inside. These are WRONG. Just plain…wrong. The big problem? All my hallmates agree, so I’ve now got a big bag of candy noone wants. ---

> [@Sternvogel](#): > > Suggest a few movies and I’ll make the selection for you. This offer also good for any other Dopers in a similar situation (what restaurant to visit, which game to attend, etc.) Just list the options, or provide some background info if you want to subtly sway my decision. If I pick a “turkey”, you can blame me instead of each other. That’s very generous of you! Actually, though, it looks like there’s gonna be a Philly Doper Dinner, so I think we’re going to go to that instead. ---

I listened to my new friend Matt vent about his feelings on his relationship… I know how he feels, believe me. 😉 ---

> [@N. Sane](#): > > I think going to the bathroom is a complete waste of time and I hate doing it, so I delay as long as possible. When I _really_ have to go, and _really_ don’t want to (or am in the car and can’t exactly go right then), I sing the peepee song and do a little peepee dance. Drives my sister insane. This, to be honest, is at least 5% of the reason why I do it. > > But since I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago, I can’t delay as long as I wish, which means that sometimes, even though I’d rather be doing something else I–have to go. > > Bye. HAHAHAHAHAHA! No, I’m not laughing at your problem… not at all! 😃 I saw little Ian doing the “peepee dance” on Sunday, but he denied it when I asked if he had to go to the bathroom. But when Frances asked him not a minute later, he said he did… little kids, what can you do? 😉 By the way, how does the “peepee song” go? ---

But I do have two hours this afternoon that won’t have to take the tests, due to the goofy schedule necessary to make this square testing peg fit into our round schedule hole, so any suggestions out there for what I should do with those kids? They deserve a break of some kind. Strip Musical Chairs? ---

I write haiku now. I ate garlic bread for tea. It was rather nice. I have work to do. Must learn how to search a tie. It’s a long story. Pringles on my desk. Funny man with a moustache. Eat his salty load. Reading last haiku. **Tick** disturbed implicitly. Goes to hide in shame. ---

> [@](#): > > Quote: > Originally Posted by Flamsterette\_X > By the way, how does the “peepee song” go? > I want to know too! I must learn this song! Well, there really are no words set in stone. Sometimes I sing “I really have to peepee; I really have to peepee” over and over to the tune of “Straighten Up and Fly Right.” Usually I just scat. 😉 ---

I hate my boss. I also hate one of my co-workers who, for some reason, thinks I just adooooore her. No, bitch, you suck and I hate you. I watched **Spirited Away** the other night and, verily, it ruled hardcore. I also know that I’ll forget to take it back to the rental place by Friday, thus I will be incurring a late fee. Late fees suck. What sucks worse is my memory. Currently, I’m listening to Motorhead and wondering how Lemmy plays a guitar **that freaking fast**. ---

> [@fishbicycle](#): > > It was the amphetamines. _Lots_ of them. You know, I thought that might be it. Or maybe he draws special guitar-playing powers from all of those enormous warts. Either way, “Ace of Spades” is a damn good song to blow your speakers out with. ---

I had something I wanted to post, but it wasn’t really deserving of its own thread. Then I remembered _this_ thread, and realized it’d be the perfect place to post it. I realized that while I was in the company cafeteria, grabbing a meatball sandwich. I took it back to my desk, ate it, and came in here to post my not-deserving-of-its-own-thread post. Now I can’t remember what it was. Obvious conclusion: Meatball sandwiches make you dumb. ---
