BuffaloBill Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Adding to the monotony of the offseason and lack of thought brought about by sleep deprivation following the time change I thought I would start an absolutely worthless topic. What's your random thought for the day? Mine is: I wonder why the emoticons are arranged in the order which they appear. Seems to me that the most common one used is yet it is the 19th one shown. Personally I find this to be . It is a pain to have to go to the next page to get to . In fact it makes me . Perhaps though my feelings of nausea are due to too much last night If the mods do not fix this problem I will be . Have a good day .
Cugalabanza Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 My random thought is a pet peeve: People Who Refuse To Consider A Hypothetical Situation. Do you ever get this? You're having a conversation with someone and you say, for example, "what would you do if you broke both your arms at the same time--how would you brush your teeth, dress, wipe, etc...?" And the other person just says, "that'll never happen." So you say, "I know, I'm just saying WHAT IF..." Then the other person goes, "that won't happen because I never get hurt. I'm very durable and well coordinated--I never get injured." And you go, "I realize it's very unlikely but it is logically and physically possible and I'm asking you to consider this hypothetical scenario for the purpose of discussion because it is interesting to me..." And the other person refuses once again to consider it even as a possibility and they go on to discuss their athletic prowess and how in high school they played sports or something and never got hurt and they're so great, blah blah blah. People who do this make me angry.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Along similar lines, I hate it when people say "irregardless."

Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 If sweet potatoes had been discovered before potatoes would they still be called sweet potatoes?

KD in CA Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I think emoticons should be arranged by type. Standards: Approval/disapproval row: A "my bad" row:
KD in CA Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Humor appreciation row: For commenting on hot chicks: (last one for Steely Dan's entries) And finally, a watching Dick Jauron coach row:
dib Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Along similar lines, I hate it when people say "irregardless." How about: proactive, supposably, athleticism, trickeration Not even half way through lent yet and it's making me nuts
Cugalabanza Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I've never had a conversation even remotely like the one you describe and I doubt very seriously whether you have either. Really? I have. I work with some people who are some of the poorest conversationalists that you could ever have the misfortune of spending large quantities of time with.
BuffaloBill Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 How about: proactive, supposably, athleticism, trickeration Not even half way through lent yet and it's making me nuts How about flustrated I hear this "word" used more in Tennessee than I have elsewhere. Irregardless of location people should be more proactive about words that are supposably descriptive of their lack of athleticism and trickeration.

HopsGuy Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 I was considering using my laptop webcam to make a YouTube video about Facebook Twittering. Then the drugs kicked in, so I'm okay now. I think.
Beerball Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 If I have a random thought just how random is it actually?
dib Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 What do they call french bread in france. If 7-11 is open 24 hrs why do they have locks on the doors?
