A good sign that it's time to go grocery shopping is definitely looking for something to eat in your house and only finding expired Special K.
But only after the expired Special K has been eaten, right? I mean, expiry dates are just "best quality" dates anyway, they're still safe to eat.
 
Do you have a compost? You should put the special k in your compost, worms love cereal. IF NOT- then find someone you know who has a compost. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE WITH A COMPOST- then just throw it out, don't need to make a chore of it.
 
Just cooked my first steak. I'm waiting for it to finish resting before I find out if it turned out well.* Will report back with result.

*As in tasty, not savage meat
 
After being together for over a decade, my husband has still not learned to duck and cover when my mom and I fight over something inane, and tried to interject himself in a pointless argument about how to use the food processor. It ended with my mom crying and not talking all day. Fabulous.

Hehe. Some of us (I'm an intervener...) never learn.
 
I appreciate and commend your taste, but really the senior citizen who is not part of this in any way, who decides to jive with Batman, because he just fucking wants to is awesome.

And fuck that car that runs over Gandolph.
 
Is Boara Constrictor a good name for a boar/boa constrictor hybrid? I'm making a painting of this and am just wondering if its a good name.
I like it. Maybe 'Boar Constrictor' is better, because (to me) it sounds like it has consonance. Maybe I just pronounce 'boar' weird, though.
 
I was reading some old hall of shame threads. Kind of miss when every discussion turned into a fist fight. Simpler times.

The pronounce your name thread is especially guilty of being the most innocuous thread to turn into an all out shitfight between JCM and Chaz.

Learned my lesson for next year--Cyber Monday is a joke. They post many more deals online on Black Friday than they do for the internet version after the weekend. I almost made use of it by buying my wife The Tudors complete series for 70% off, because it seemed like the kind of thing she'd enjoy, but then I worried some of the torture/rape scenes would disturb her, so I canceled it. Anything else I'd get her is so obscure that there won't be any deals for it.

So I took off from work today for nothing. I could still go in for a few hours and make it so I don't have to the day of my New York trip, but I don't think that's happening. Next year I'll just take off the day after Thanksgiving like I should have.
 
most of the sales I hit for black friday online were also for today. so my ordering is done except for maybe on funimation's site or amazon for their 50% off new titles deal.

Yeah, Cyber Monday really disappointed me today. I was looking for one thing specifically and found absolutely zero good deals, and the only time I did find good deals, the product was only available in store, and then only at one specific store in a region- to nation-wide chain. How the hell is that a good deal? Oh, this gaming laptop looks pretty good, but it's only available in-store in Oconomowoc, WI. Have fun driving there to get it from Seattle.
 
Oh man, that Transformers 2 thread was amazing too, that might be my favorite thread ever. It's definitely not Hall of Meh.
