Your most random thought in the past day thread

So I was playing Zoo tycoon when this realization hit me: " If I wanted to get a pet to match my hair, I could get an Irish Setter, a Finnish Spitz or an orangutan. One of the dogs would probably be easier to get and less messy, though."

What random thoughts have you spawned today?

I haven’t had any random thoughts today (I’ve only been awake for about a half an hour) but I know I’ll have some on my way to work.
Someone lost a shoe on the entrance ramp to the highway, and I pass it every day. I always wonder about the chain of events that caused that shoe to wind up on the side of the road. It’s a women’s strappy silver platform shoe, and I have to wonder…did she chuck it out the window? Was she a passenger? Was she the driver?
How do you loose one shoe?

Gee. I’m a badass motherf***er.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 10 months today.

Which reminded me of when we started dating.

Which then, for some as-yet-undisclosed reason, made me think of cabbage.

I have no idea how cabbage has anything to do with May 20th, 2001, but I’m sure there’s a deeper meaning to all of this.

I wonder if I can find Queen songs played on a great harp?

“I wonder if I could go a whole day speaking only in iambic pentameter.”

I might want to try that some time, actually. :smiley:

Random thoughts:

If I saw something that was obviously not supposed to exist (demons, monsters, aliens, smurfs, talking dogs, etc.) and I killed it, would I get in trouble?

What if it was coming at me, could I kill it then?

You did say random.

Bread.

Those fucking Byzantines.

“I would make a really bad president.”

I really like that movie, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.

My breasts look nice in this bra. I should buy new bras more often.

I wonder how many cubic feet of soda I drink in a year.

If i shoot out System Admin guy and hide his body, would anyone notice?

The way they water vegetables in Food City is really nifty. But the cucumbers and lettuce ought to have a dance routine to go along with the song.

It is astonishing where i lose stuff. trying to keep it safe.

I wonder if you could train squirrels to bungee jump?

I’m pretty smart. Bet I could learn to play guitar and how to sing easily enough. It would then be a quick step and jump to superstardom.

My most random thoughts came as a series:

Wasting time while studying, I idly picked up one of my books about Druidic traditions and thumbed through it. Random thought #1: How could anyone memorize all this? Especicially without the benefit of books or notecards. It’s all too much.

Pondering further, I realized that it wasn’t that much at all. If I can store endless pop-culture trivia and plot details of TV series, the invasions of Ireland really shouldn’t be that much of a problem.

Random thought #2: Humans have been the same for thousands of years. There must have been people with the inclination to become obsessive film/book/TV/whatever geeks centuries before any of these things existed. What did they do back then? Endlessly ask storytellers to repeat their favorites and pick through the plot points? Gossip constantly?

Random responses to your random thoughts:

elfkin: A Finnish spitz?

auRa: Cabbage is a much under-rated vegetable.

Tranquilis: Butter.

lno: Do you think anyone’s ever done it in Haiga Sophia?

Loopus: “I’m not running for President, am I?”

JessEnigma: There’s a cucumber that sings and dances in Veggie Tales, but I don’t think there’s any talking lettuce.

PT: I betcha a donut DDG could find you a pic of bungee-jumping squirrels if she wanted to.
