The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

[Bones]

It is intelligence to know that a tomato is a fruit.
It is wisdom to not add it to fruit salad.
It is philosophy to debate whether this now classifies ketchup as a smoothie.

You really need to stop reguritating /bestof reddit. :3

It filters down to me through other channels. But even so, is it not truly random crap?

It'd be nice to be able to go a week without having to re-teach my general manager which is 12 am and which is 12 pm. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't lead to him giving instructions to the computer which result in advertisements running at 3 am when they're not supposed to.

The benefits of using 12h00 and 24h00. Or 00h00 and 12h00. Or, you know, anything except AM and PM.

The utter futility of my favourite sports team has some how led me to binge watch 2 Broke Girls.

 

[Squidleybits]

I'll be home soon. We can binge watch Gossip Girl instead!

I don't know anything about UNIX, so I can't find out just how stupid that "parody" is, but I will rest assured that it's probably really stupid anyways

Found the coolest beer bottle.

Nothing to write home about, but better than I expected given the gimmicky bottle. Lucky Buddha beer, if anyone is curious.

I get the feeling that every day for him is like playing Lemmings, except that instead of the usual builders/diggers/floaters/etc., his choice of units are things like slackers, buck-passers, shirkers, stinkers, and just one bomber...him.

...except that he never actually dies, he just explodes over, and over, and over...

Cryptids in the US. I really can't believe they got the Lizard Man on there. I remember that being a thing back in the 80s in SC. And by a "thing", I mean about 5 drunk rednecks claimed they saw it.

 

[PatrThom]

They're missing a couple locals that I know of in MI, but I'm just talking about the stuff of day camp legends.

Is there a canonical explanation why Stormtrooper helmets have such limited area of visibility?

The eyes aren't eyes, but cameras linked to internal display

Maybe, idk

 

[GasBandit]

The presentation of the news has gotten so formulaic it's sad.

No steak knives are allowed past security

No steak knives are allowed past security

... They weren't even BEFORE 9/11! What the heck were you thinking?

 

[Squidleybits]

That I wanted a steak between flights? It was a gong show with a butter knife and two mangled hands.

I don't know if you're crazier for trying to bring a steak knife through airport security, or for daring to eat airport steak to begin with.

 

[blotsfan]

I'd also assume the airport steak place would provide a steak knife

Exactly! The server saw me struggling and offered to have it cut for me but I was afraid.

 

[jwhouk]

@HCGLNS, you are a saint.

 

[drifter]

Well, I had some time to kill...

 

[PatrThom]

Well, I had some time to krill...

FTFY

Why are people always standing on rooftops in comic books? How do they even get up there? It's like every cool underlit, akimbo stance on a darkened rooftop was preceded by 20 minutes of huffing and straining to get up on the roof.

 

[sixpackshaker]

That is kinda like there are 1,000's more fire escapes in the movies than there are in real life.

I got up on a roof from the fire escape once, no huffing and puffing required.

Of course, I was up there for all of 3 minutes before the guy who lived on the top floor came out to yell at me. Seems my footsteps on the roof were loudly audible.

You know what I could not care less about? Deflate-gate.

 

[GasBandit]

They gave it a -gate suffix now? Augh.

Dafuq is that?

 

[Piotyr]

I prefer the term Ball-ghazi.

The Patriots are being accused of letting air out of their footballs when they played vs the Colts.

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/19/opinion/downey-football-deflate-investigation/

The idea being, underinflated footballs are supposedly easier to throw and catch because they are easier to grip/don't bounce out of hands as easily.

Patriots cheat? I don't fucking believe you.

Well yeah, they will cross a river on Christmas Eve and kill you in your sleep...
