Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@ReaderRagfish I have no idea who that guy is, but the full video of him makes me want smack him in the face with a brick shaped object.

Made of brick.

I think that guy stole the last of your milk and you've supressed the incident. It's the only logical answer

@HobbitGamer It might also be the passing resemblance to the similarly smug Mark Zuckerberg It's the smug "aren't I so cute?" attitude that comes off.

Screw it, hold my stuff, I desire to cause video game [website] induced violence.

So you find him cute!

@Yosheel After turned into paste with a brick shaped object? Maybe. Before? Not so much. But he sure finds himself cute

You know that image of the 7 year old smeared with chocolate all over his face proudly insisting he didn't eat the ice cream and feeling so pleased with himself for not getting caught? That's what I see looking at those two.

I'm auditing charts, and this one bit on a behavioral health assessment popped out as interesting;

{REDACT} is concerned about possible OCD and ADD behaviors. {REDACT} has difficulty staying focused and problems with authority, especially women. {REDACT} is also obsessed with Yoshi.

@Yosheel, what have you done?

Well that’s normal. Yoshi is life.

@Yosheel Yeah, I just couldn't figure out why in the world it was mentioned. It was nowhere else in the chart even referenced, haha. Sometimes these counselors just write things, I think.

@HobbitGamer I mean it's Yoshi. I'd be concerned if there wasn't an obsession with Yoshi. I mean I've been obsessed with Yoshi for 25 years, and even though I take a Yoshi lunchbox to work and have a Yoshi mug, and sleep in a Yoshi kart bed with Yoshi sheets on a Yoshi pillow doesn't mean there's a problem. It's just normal behavior associated with having seen Yoshi at least once.

@NEStalgia I knew you shouldn't have seen the Super Mario Bros. movie

@HobbitGamer I saw it. Twice. Muahahaha.

It's one of those things that somehow all didn't seem wrong at the time, and I can't imagine why not. Then again, in a world where you eat mushrooms and grow big.....why not? Maybe the Mushroom Kingdom is like Wonderland.....it's only during Mario's acid trips that he goes to "save the princess" in a colorful cartoon world of mushroom people In that context the movie is really a spot on interpretation.

I received all four books in a paperback collection for Christmas a couple of years ago. I read The Hobbit almost immediately, but waited a little while before starting LotR. The sad thing is that I started Fellowship back in late May when I went on a small trip, but I've been reading it on and off ever since. I even took about a month's break to read some Stephen King. It also doesn't help that my designated reading time is now right before bedtime. I'm sure you know what happens half the time.... The good news is that I only have about a hundred pages left. I'm trying to finish it and take the next book on a short work trip I'm going on early next month.

Speaking of that trip, is the TSA still OCD about smaller electronics going into bins? I'm thinking about taking my DS Lite, but those bins are so germy....

I'm glad nothing too crazy happened near where you live. Some of the news coverage and photos that I've seen seem pretty bleak.

Right. This is completely normal behavior. Hides Pokemon paraphernalia

I also take a long long time to finish books. I guess it's normal.

I'm also in the middle of reading Resident Evil 4. And my second Jurassic Park (now in Spanish!). But those are in electronic format.

About electronics in airports, at least here in Mexico, they only ask you place personal computers on a separate tray. Other things are ok in the bag.

The book for Lost World is so different than the movie. But it’s great!!

yes it does kick things into perspective. i hope she has some grandchildren or someone to help her like she helped her own mother.

@HobbitGamer yup they had some cool scenes that didn't make it to the movie! (I'm reading the first one btw, it's just my second time reading it!).

My favorite thing is how the first Jurassic Park novel has a lot of things that they've been including in all the movies little by little.

The crazy thing is that I used to tear through books like crazy as a kid. I still love reading, but I also have less free time as an adult and have to prioritize it. My ability to focus and block things out isn't what it used to be either.

I have 76 days to go to finish my Calendar 2019 project due to 28 December 208 as my Deadline.

@Tyranexx Same here. I could destroy books in no time. I took complete advantage of that Pizza Hut book club thing. Now I just can’t find the time as much. I’ve got a bookmark in a Star Wars book that hasn’t moved in about 8 months...

@Anti-Matter You’d better buckle down and get on that project, son! Haha
