14W, the day after I bought my last truck, and I prefer prescription narcotic pain killers, although my doctor is a little stingy with them.

Stool softeners are key, I've learned. Re: narcotic painkillers, that is.

Hey superstars! I'm eating a quick dinner before I go out. I'll probably have an IPA or two. Reid always has a Craftsman 1903.

Beer is my favourite analgesic!

Edit: got a tense wrong!

I'm watching Teen Mom and it's making me feel a lot better about my life decisions.

[quote name=^_^' timestamp='1352770716' post='5817966]I just scratched my balls.More people (or, ahem, at least those properly equipped) should do this more often, and also put 41 lbs. psi of air into their car tyres (CABA spelling) when the weather first becomes chilly, see man.

I mused about a long-ago girlfriend who had related the following to me: "The camel died quite suddenly on the second day, and I fretted sulkily and, buffing my already impeccable nails -- not for the first time since the journey began -- pondered snidely if this would dissolve into a vignette of minor inconveniences like all the other holidays spent with Basil."

Edited to correct fingergraphical error, see man.

When I woke up it was pouring down rain, and then it turned to hail! I had my coffee and was very annoyed that my K-cup machine is on the fritz. Don't annoy a coffee drinker before they've had their coffee!!!

I sat down to drink it and noticed that the birds were looking forlorn because I had brought in their feeder and it was still sitting in my dishwasher. So I threw some seeds onto the deck because I wasn't going out in the pouring rain and hail but they haven't come back. I guess I wouldn't eat, either, if someone threw my food on the floor. Nuked my coffee for 30 seconds because it took so long to brew and then I exacerbated the problem by feeding birds. I might go back to a french press.

I made scrambled eggs and German rye toast and a small glass of mango juice. I am now running down the list of things I should do but don't want to.

This has become my favourite thread . . . oh wait, is this the sort of stuff I've been missing by not being on Facebook?

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

I'm looking for a good Yorkshire pudding tin.

IK HOU VAN JOU, MARK

Take a large, almost round, rotating sphere about 8000 miles in diameter, surround it with a murky, viscous atmosphere of gases mixed with water vapor, tilt its axis so it wobbles back and forth with respect to a source of heat and light, freeze it at both ends and roast it in the middle, cover most of its surface with liquid that constantly feeds vapor into the atmosphere as the sphere tosses billions of gallons up and down to the rhythmic pulling of a captive satellite and the sun. Then try to predict the conditions of that atmosphere over a small area within a 5 mile radius for a period of one to five days in advance!
