Thinking Out Loud: Why do barbecue places advertise with cute pictures of pigs? Don’t the pigs know that they are telling people to COME EAT THEM? ---

Nice username/post relation there. And, so true. That goes for any food marketed with a cute, happy mascot of the very animal you’ll be eating. ---

Why don’t you shut your fucking hole, asshole? OOOPs?! Did I say that out loud? What the fuck?! Now you got a problem? Keep your judgemental bullshit to yourself! Applies pretty much every day. Some days I have better vocal control.🙂 ---

Do I _look_ like your psychotherapist? Why is it that whenever I hove into view, you start whimpering and whining and and giving me an excruciating organ recital or story of your family trials or latest negative diatribe? Oops, did I say that out loud? ---

Thinking Out Loud: One evening, after a long silence staring at the ceiling in bed, I voiced aloud a pressing thought… ‘‘What was it like for the first monkey in space?’’ When he was done laughing hysterically, my husband acknowledged that it is actually a very good question. ---

Thinking out loud- Ya know, the Russians sent up a few dogs and poisoned them while they were in orbit. I bet their ghosts are still up there yelping for their missing masters. ---

I’m not thinking anything out loud. I almost never do that. ---

Okay, I’ve got like fifty different backgrounds customers can choose from. Why do they keep picking the same ones? At least it’s no longer that damn eagle I was putting on every tape measure label. Now, it’s sky, earth, or for some reason (considering none of these are hardware or construction companies) diamond plate steel. ---

> [@Rasa](#): > > I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s socially acceptable to show naked baby butts. Same reason the other brand has those creepy bears. Yeah, if I have to imagine a poopy ass, I’d rather imagine a baby’s poopy ass than say, some hot guy or girl. I definitely don’t want to associate my TP with the Brawny guy or Mr. Clean. Totally kills the fantasy. ---

Jessica Alba was hilarious in that faux political infomercial about citizens who don’t vote. You can see it on YouTube. She’s sexy smart. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thinking-out-loud/471628.md?page=1)
