Random Musings (and associated non sequiturs) v. 3.0

Ahh, I see it now. Thanks. That’s one that isn’t in my everyday lexicon

We run multiple security screenings on refugees coming into the US. Multiple interviews and checks.

I’m not against taking some people in, but what?

If I’m Joe Wanna-Be Suicide Bomber how would you catch me and my wife and kids in an interview? Not like I gave you a valid ID, or that I even had one to begin with.

7 million refugees, and we’ll take 10k. Why bother.

Our Customs and TSA are a joke. And it’s been shown, repeatedly, that the procedures they are using would not have stopped the terrorists on 9/11.

Hell, the only useful thing anyone did is put a locking door on the cabin.

The Hawaiian alphabet has 12 letters total, 5 of which are vowels. Valid letters in Hawaiian are:

A,E,I,O,U
H,K,L,M,N,P,W

Nope, can’t spell brah with only those letters.

And don’t get a Samoan pissed at you, I think they continue to speak English, but I didn’t understand a single word.

A couple acquaintances have decided that a fragment of 19 Psalms refers to me.

I have no idea how to feel about that.

Odd choice.

What I have that was “coo coo k’ chew”, is actually “goo goo g’ joob”

Mind, blown.

I had the shock of my life last night. I made beer mac & cheese with greenbeans out of the garden for dinner. My roommate came in afterwards and actually said, “Thank you for making dinner. I appreciate it.” 0_0

Given what you’ve said about this roommate, that is a shock. You need smelling salts or are you going to be all right?

I think I need the smelling salts. I’m still kind of in shock. :wink:

Well, I would say “my condolences on your roommate being kidnapped and replaced by a doppleganger,” but in this case the substitute is a distinct improvement.

Apparently, the “5 Hour” in “5 Hour Energy” refers to the time it takes to get the taste out of your mouth.

If Asda (Wal-Mart, but painted green) really keeps reporting continues economic growth despite the other major supermarkets showing a slow-down, then surely they can afford to fix the light in the shop sign that is strobing at a particularly violent nausea-inducing frequency.

I mean, I’m not particularly prone to disliking flashing lights, and there’s no history of epilepsy in my family, but just walking past the store is enough exposure to Das Blikinlicht for me to feel rather queasy for the following hour or so…

34 posts were split to a new topic: Woodman’s cancer… Good wishes and updates!

I’ve been using that line for years, too. Not sure who I stole it from first, though. :slight_smile:

The people in the marketing department at DreamWorks Animation need to select their review quotes a little more carefully.

From the version of Mr. Peabody & Sherman that was sold with a plush toy at Walmart:
“Smart, Funny and Fun” - Sam Rubin, KTLA

From the covers of the various versions of Home:
“Smart, Fun and Funny”

I thought maybe the same person had given the same review for two movies, but it took doing a search to find out that one was by Bill Bergoli of CBS Radio.

Background: I’m an RPG nerd. I’ve collected JRPG and RPG games for as long as I can remember.

I finally beat Final Fantasy VI, which I’ve been meaning to do since I was in High School. Given all the praise it received, I was surprised to find that I wasn’t all that taken to it. I still think Final Fantasy IV was better overall. FF6 just seemed to have so many plot holes in it that I lost interest, which explains why it’s taken 3 different times to get through this game. It’s over, it’s done. Most I can say is, I love the music. Everything else was sorta lackluster for me.

Well now, that’s Terra’s Theme planted in my head for the rest of the evening :unamused:
