Random Rants ΠΑ: That's a paddlin'

[hobbsyoyo]

Nah I try and stay out of their way. But there's a good chance I'll hurt it packing up the apartment today as I'll be bending over all day long putting stuff in boxes.

 

[Lexicus]

Oh dear, I'm sorry ... I'm fortunate that mid-Michigan's cost of living is so low! I still think it's worth saving up for, since you're going to spend your money on something anyway, why not make it enhancing your experience?

I prefer to enhance my experience with Mary Jane

 

[MaryKB]

Why do you have to get yourself together to meet a beauty stylist? Isn't that kind of their job?

I'm guessing you're not the type of person who makes your bed when staying at a hotel, or cleans up your home before your housekeeping service people arrive?

She's helping me improve my techniques, so it's helpful for me to try practicing what she's taught me so we can go over what areas I need help with. Plus I don't want her to improve me from a 0, I'd like to get my money's worth XD

Good luck @hobbsyoyo! Are you just packing today, or when is your actual move? And don't the movers pack up your boxes for you??

It's been 3 months since I could toke.

@MaryKB moving day is Saturday. I'm packing everything up today and tomorrow. The movers are only moving boxes and furniture, they aren't packing anything. They could pack stuff, but that would cost me more money.

They won't let you take that on a plane, but in first class they'll give you unlimited free liquor

Wack bro

They won't let you take that on a plane, but in first class they'll give you unlimited free liquor

I bet they cut you off right when you start having fun

I'm guessing you're not the type of person who makes your bed when staying at a hotel, or cleans up your home before your housekeeping service people arrive?

You're right that I don't do the former, and I don't have the latter anyway. But I see, it's more like a class than a service and you're doing homework

 

[hobbsyoyo]

@Lexicus A lot of jobs drug test, so I have to be clean until I get work. Plus, it's expensive.

 

[MaryKB]

Nope, they don't stop ... three of my last four flights found me quite tipsy on arrival

And especially if you use the Sky Club, you can have more free alcohol in between flights ...

 

[Snerk]

…speaking of which, Delta could hire Mr. Snerk to give people foot massages. Or generally work in an airline as a random handsome Scandinavian member of staff.

That's a hard no, my friend. I'll dish out some over shirt back rubs but I'm not touching any feet.

Oh I see ... well you'd have to battle @Snerk anyway, and as an invincible Disney Prince I'm sure he won't have any difficulty dispatching you XD

Jesus christ do not, and I can't stress this enough, do not get me into a fight with Tim. I'm 1,85m and 75kg, Tim would eat me alive.

It's been 3 months since I could toke.

A break is a nice thing but a break needs to end eventually. Hang in there guy.

 

[MaryKB]

That's a hard no, my friend. I'll dish out some over shirt back rubs but I'm not touching any feet.

What about just mine?

Jesus christ do not, and I can't stress this enough, do not get me into a fight with Tim. I'm 1,85m and 75kg, Tim would eat me alive.

You have Disney Prince powers, you can defeat anything. Remember when Edward defeated that Troll in Enchanted? That's what your fight with Tim would end up like:

(btw, have you ever thought of suing Disney for using your likeness without your permission?)

 

[Snerk]

Can I at least bring along a magical feather that'll supposedly give me some sort of super power?

And yes, I'll put your feet on my exception list.

 

[MaryKB]

I think your powers derive from your gorgeous hair?

 

[Snerk]

So like some sort of Scandinavian Samson? I guess I could swing that.

I do need a haircut though. It's getting unruly. Will a bit of a trim terminate my powers?

 

[MaryKB]

No, it's not about how long your hair is, but rather how beautiful it looks.

I think your perfect eyes also enhance your powers. Trust me, Tim doesn't stand a chance. Have you ever seen a Disney Prince be defeated?

 

[Synobun]

Snerk is a superhero, and his nemesis is male-pattern baldness.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Rant: The arthritis in my knees severely flared up due to the weather. I had a hard time just getting to the bathroom and back.

 

[MaryKB]

Okay, so I'm thinking this event totally has to happen. We need OT to work together to bring @Snerk over here from Norway, and @Timsup2nothin up from wherever he's hiding, and also we need @Synsensa to referee. Whoever ends up victorious will win my favor.

Rant: The arthritis in my knees severely flared up due to the weather. I had a hard time just getting to the bathroom and back.

I'm so sorry aimee, I hope you feel better soon. My baby brother has arthritis too, and his legs get so bad sometimes he needs a wheelchair.

Please let me know if you'd like a treat delivered ... do you have anything like Panera up there who delivers? Sometimes a nice hot soup can do wonders during bad weather.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I took some ibuprofen which should help a little. It's just the weather.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Jesus christ do not, and I can't stress this enough, do not get me into a fight with Tim. I'm 1,85m and 75kg, Tim would eat me alive.

Other than sushi I don't eat anything raw, much less alive.

Anecdote from years back relating to a high maintenance woman and a guy fighting for her:

Spoiler :

This guy wins some tickets to the Long Beach Grand Prix race in a sales contest. He and this buddy of his take the day off work (upsetting their employer who apparently failed to consider the consequences when offering the tix as a prize) and head off to the races.

So, they are walking along a sidewalk in Long Beach having parked out in BFE. Coming towards them is this couple, mid to late twenties. Average sized dude and this girl who is dressed in cutoff jeans that have maybe an inch of fabric left in the crotch and are split up the side seams all the way to the waistband, and a mens dress shirt with no buttons done and the tails knotted right under her breasts. Now, admittedly, the guest on the racing excursion is a single guy and a notorious drooler, so there's little doubt that he was staring, probably hard enough to be rude, but c'mon. As they get close everyone can hear the girl say "are you going to let him look at me like that?" to her companion.

The guy who won the tix, who wasn't as easily impressed since he had a wife and kids at home, sees the companion tensing up and says "look man, if I took out a girl dressed like that and no one looked I'd wonder if I was just seeing things." He was genuinely hoping a little humor as a diversion would defuse the situation. But at that point the girl stops cold on the sidewalk with a sort of foot stamp and basically pushes her guy forward. So, ticket winner tries a more direct approach and says "I don't know what she wants you to prove, but one day that girl is gonna get you seriously hurt man. Fighting to prove you love her is no way to build anything that will last. She's trying to push you into a fight with two guys at once; guys you don't know from Adam. How about we all just go our ways?"

Dude looks pained, and not at all enthusiastic, but it's pretty clear the guy doesn't think he really has any way out, so he keeps coming. Probably hoped the two guys would "be better men" and walk away if he came on slowly enough. But the guy who won the tickets wasn't really the better man type, so he drops dude and starts putting the boots to him while keeping a wary eye on the girl. After a few good kicks he asks her if this is what she wanted to see and what she is putting out since she "made herself out as the spoils of war." She hauls ass down the street.

That's one way a girl can be high maintenance that isn't really connected to incomes.
