Then there’s this conversation…

(10:13:23 pm) Her: you, nut!!!
(10:15:33 pm) Me: I got some nuts right here… want some? (offers a dish of cashews, peanuts, etc.)
(10:16:13 pm) Me: Perhaps you’ll like these nuts more. You’ll need a wrench to go with these… (shows container of hex nuts)
(10:16:41 pm) Her: oh my gosh…for a second I had a bad thought!
(10:16:57 pm) Me: A bad thought?
(10:21:21 pm) Her:think about it…
(10:21:55 pm) Me: (looks down) Oh, those? The thought of being kicked, punched, or otherwise hit in that area is absolutely painful! (cringes)
(10:25:05 pm) Her: yeah
(10:25:58 pm) Me: Oh, man… that little thing about nuts is so going on my blog.
(10:26:41 pm) Her: great!! (sarcastic tone)
(10:26:56 pm) Me: You’ll remain unnamed, I promise.
(10:27:35 pm) Her: good
(10:29:53 pm) Me: Gee, there was still a bit of life left in that nutty tangent.
(10:30:09 pm) Me: Something to the tune of, “Aaw, nuts! …”
(10:30:16 pm) Her: okk
(10:30:35 pm) Me: OK, I’ve milked that for all it’s worth.

Key: Green = Me; Yellow = Friend; Red = Foe

In an attempt to stand up for my friend, I told that guy to think before he types because several little birds tell me that copulation is a physically-stressing activity, and those types of activities are the last thing an injured person would want (for risk of worsening the injury).  Anyways, he replied some racially-charged order for Chinese food:

• Kung pao delight
• Fried rice
• Egg drop soup
• No egg roll
• Fortune cookie that says “go **** yourself”

It took about five minutes of anger before my logic kicked in.  My logic says that he wants a fortune cookie with an insult directed towards him.  Ai-ya!  What did I say about thinking and typing?!  In any case, I used to think that the phrase “think before you type” applies to issuing commands to computers, but I would like to share this lesson: It applies to real life as well.

To my friend: I hope you feel better.  Let me know if there’s something I can do for you.  I got your back.

History?!

During the semester, I have been doing all my reading and I can recall a lot of information.  Yet, I have been getting Cs on my all-essay tests.  During the tests, I write practically nonstop.  To gain a better understanding of the situation, I visited the TA on Friday.  Unfortunately, that was counterproductive as I left more ticked off because they appear to just want regurtitation of information and little sense of organization.  I ran into one of my colleagues while checking out the synchrophasor stuff Professor Mack Grady just finished setting up, and he echoes my sentiment.

My ability to maintain my composure seemed incredible at the time, but as soon as the final is over, I’m selling those books and ensuring those blue books are taken care of like company top trade secrets.

Funny Pics

Also on Friday, I spent the evening with some friends at a barbecue.  On the way back, I noticed that a storefront has this painted: “If it’s in stock, we’ve got it!”  My car trip today involved taking a picture of this:

My challenge to you: Devise something to contradict this statement.  Now for something not so obvious:

I found the typo on the receipt after I went to the Asian food mart to get this sauce.  I shall refrain from making jokes here…

Here’s the ad.  Have at it, folks!

that was rather ironic I should type that

Wow… where can I invest in a market that’s doomed to go down?

I just put mine on, they’re dark blue

Note: In the finacial market, “shorts” refer to selling something not in your possession and then buying it back later.  Typically, you would want to “sell” when a stock is high and “buy” when it is low.  This is a dangerous endeavor and should not be tried unless you really know what you’re doing.

Me: Time to start sorting…
Me: I have tags of people I have pics of
Me: (and so you too have a tag in my library!
Elizabeth: I’m honored
Me: [redacted]‘s about to get one
Elizabeth: Tag?
Me: Yep!
Elizabeth: I want to see the photos
Me: Hold your horses, missy!
Me: And you’re the only ‘J’ in the catalog
Elizabeth: :-$ But these are wild mustangs…I don’t know how much longer I can hold them
Me: Huh/
Me: What’s that supposed to mean?
Elizabeth: It means I’m curious to see the photos
Me: Oh… hold your horses… LOL
Elizabeth: yeeah, haha
