Random Rants ΠΑ: That's a paddlin'

If you catch him, can we please take him to a taxidermist? He'd look wonderful as a yard decoration.

Is Tim the gnome or the flamingo?

He's the scarecrow.

It deeply pains me to hear that, I can only imagine how terrifying that must have felt on your first night living in your car. Did you know it'd only be for a week? I'm glad things worked out for you quickly, but I'm still unbearably saddened thinking about you actually needing to find ways to heat up your food.

Easy-peasy, because it was only a mile from the uni.
Around 1973 I ate something called Continental Chicken Noodle Soup for about 4 days when my car broke down in the Woomera Rocket Range as it was called back then.
We shouldn't have been in that restricted area and it took four days for my friends to get a car to tow me out.
That was boring because all I had to read were Reader's Digests from 1960s I found in the trunk.
Luckily, the car had layback bench seats and a cocktail cabinet in the back. (Humbers were used as ambassadorial cars in the late 1940s and early 1950s.)
Best $100 car I ever owned. Luxury double-plus!

Of those I gotta think I'm closer to gnome than flamingo.

OK, the ‘little while’ of gaming lasted for three matches, about 150 minutes of gameplay.

@Takhisis I think these guys are making a point, it's possibly a standards thing ... men seem to be willing to live in conditions that I don't feel comfortable with, and what am I supposed to do? I'm not just going to let it happen. I also find that men need an incredible amount of emotional support, which can be very taxing sometimes.

In a complete inversion of stereotypes, we're on the verge of ‘men! Can't live with them, can't live without them’.

Am I the only one here who knows that you can set a tin can on a stove burner so there's really no reason to eat stuff cold as long as you aren't living out of doors?

This is one of those home thermodynamics things which not everybody understands that readily.

The UN Human Rights Council has awarded its two South American berths to Jair Bolsonaro's Brazil and Nicolás Maduro's Venezuela.

Oh we can totally live without men. We just need to find alternatives for making babies and mowing the lawn.

Once we solve those two problems, men will become totally redundant.

There's already robot vacuum cleaners. I wonder how difficult a robot lawnmower would be.

Technologically, not at all. Liability issues are the problem.

Ooooooh they already exist! I've seen people using those!

Okay guys, you're down to one useful pirpose ...

 

[Manfred Belheim]

They already exist. But you need to set them up and hammer things into the ground first, so men still required for that.

Yes, it'd be a bad thing to have lawnmowers take over the world.

Once you solve those problems we can all play videogames in peace, excellent!

Also there's the bit about repairing furniture, wiring plugs, hanging that picture in just the right angle while you look from several paces away, etc.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Yes, it'd be a bad thing to have lawnmowers take over the world.

Your house is closed access, so anyone who gets run over by your vacuum cleaner is either an invader or invited. Your lawn, at least in front, is limited access rather than closed and when the kid next door comes chasing his stray ball you generally aren't allowed to chop up the little trespasser with a lawnmower.

 

[Takhisis]

Well, yes, but isn't that because the lawnmower might get damaged?

While that warning does apply to me, in this case Ferocitus just linked to it in another thread.

Which part are you vomiting at, lass?
