Random Thoughts 2: Arbitrary Speculations

Don't forget to take your scuba snacks!

There wasn't any boxes to tick but the man did laugh evilish when I asked if everything worked as it was supposed to. I also remember some scary music playing at this point.

Ah, yes. Was there any lightning and/or thunder, or maybe a mysterious lengthening of shadows?

Don't forget to take your scuba snacks!

You'll be facing off against a meddling dog and his mangy kids.

I would have got away with that pun if it wasn't for you explaining it!

*gotten

 

[Arakhor]

I'm neither 17th Century nor American, so no.

 

[Takhisis]

Then away with ye and yer ill-got gains.

If you told me that Radiohead's song The Drugs Don't Work was written about coffee, I would believe it.

BritPop^TM nitpickery: that one was by The Verve, not the 'Head. But considering that it's only a little(?) younger than you are (released in '97), plus you're a Yank, the error's forgivable. So Nevermind*...

My random thought for the day, not unlinked to the above:

Was at my older son's Schulfest last Friday evening, and saw more than one spotty mid-teen wearing e.g. Pearl Jam and Metallica T-shirts. Now I know that Vedder, Ulrich, Hetfield et al. are still going (tho' I haven't bought any of their albums for close on 20 years), but it is slightly depressing to realise that to these kids, those bands are basically what the Stones/ Doors/ Beatles are to me (i.e. the coolest bands that my parents' generation grew up listening to).

How dare those damn Millennials appropriate the cool choons/bands of my teens?!? How dare they! (Man, I'm getting old...)

You think that's bad? I hear myself growling, "You call that music? It's just noise."

I've yelled that when I was 12, some "music" just deserves it.

On second thought, that particular song sounds pretty good though.

Yeah, Katie Perry and Rihanna (to name but two) have that effect on me, as well...

You live in Germany or Austria?

You live in Germany or Austria?

Germany*, since mid-2006 — having married a Bürgerin in late 2004.

*I used to have the town/state in my 'Location', but later decided that possibly made it far too easy to trace real-me. Not that I'm under any delusion of 100% untraceability right now, being on the Internetz and all...

So today on my way home from work, there was a guy in the bus who was boasting to his friends that he has had sex with a dozen virgins. He wasn't exactly good looking, and he came across more like a wannabe playboy who's trying way too hard to look good to his friends than a guy who knows how to talk with a girl without making a fool out of himself, so I assumed he was just a liar.

But then it occurred to me that he might just be a serial child rapist who's telling the truth after all. Never prejudge people.

Was this the guy?

 

[Ryika]

That's him! How did you know?

 

[Broken_Erika]

He's well known; In fact he is currently in the altered maps thread posing as The Netherlands.
