[Beware the Beast Man]

Is it Wendy's company policy not to give out ketchup packets to drive-thru customers? It seems as if every Wendy's I go to, I damn near have to scream for ketchup.

OK. Go to work...

[NoSheep]

1. I love ketchup. Once I drank a whole bottle by myself!

:D

[sniffa]

2. these 'bigger bags' of Lay's potato chips

contain the same net-weight as their predacessors.
it's a fucking scam!

[Beware the Beast Man]

8. I hate my life.

The convenience store down the street closed. Now I have to drive 3 miles for potato chips. :cry:

[sniffa]

17. that's no way to Live

did we Lose a war!?

[Heidi]

43. Ya big whiner!

I'd have to FLY 3,000 miles for a bag of Lay's potato chips. Even if they had Lay's here in Heidi-Land, the stores close at 6 p.m. So much for consumer-driven economies!

[Heidi]

30. It's true, Sniffa.

Something so wonderful should be free, I think. I haven't eaten those wonderful Lay's potato chips in six years, but I'd almost kill for access to them at any price.

[sniffa]

33. i've got a bag for you

if you take out a few peopLe for me. :P

[Heidi]

47. Oh, that's too complicated.

Why don't you just have Skittles kick their a$$es? (I'd probably do it for a bag of high-fat, non-nutrtious Lay's potato chips, though.)

[mongo]

3. I think I forgot to close the garage door this morning

can someone please go to my house and check for me?

[trotsky]

13. It's closed now.

Oh and I didn't take anything like a ladder or hedge trimmer or lawn mower so you don't need to bother checking, ok?

[mongo]

36. Well, be carefull on that ladder

It's awfull rickety!

Actually, I've left it open all day by accident before and nothings been stolen. I'm suprised my neighbors didn't close it for me.

And I have hundreds of dollars of tools in there. So glad the house next door is abandoned now - when they were there they would steal my light bulb from my back door, and my garden hoses.

They didn't have trash service either. The town had to come in with a backhoe to clean up their back yard. plenty of empty beer cases though - and trash service costs about 15/month here

[terrya]

4. Really, I need to start bringing my lunches to work more.

Today, in the cafeteria, the same old thing. They never vary their menu. I deserve variety in my choices for lunch.

[Richardo]

10. I, on the other hand, voluntarily eat the same thing for lunch every day

General Tso chicken and mixed vegetables and ice water at the Galleria food court: $4.14

[LynzM]

5. I'm having Ramen for lunch...

And I have to go sit in on a really boring conference call in 8 minutes. Oh joy. :eyes:

[sniffa]

6. Lynzm has purpLe toes

i know things

[LynzM]

11. LMAO

You do know things, man... :rofl:

[trotsky]

7. Our Wendy's f*cks up every order.

Simple shit, too. On the rare occasions where I get fast food for my kids, I get the healthier side options. (Milk and fruit.) At Wendy's it's Mandarin oranges. Well the last time we went there, they put oranges in one and fries in the other. Jerks!

Then two weeks ago my wife picked up their Mandarin chicken salads for us. They forgot the dressing! Assholes!

[bertha katzenengel]

9. When i go to lunch at a nearby food court i get two cups of ketchup and

six packets of salt for my fries. I douse my fries with the salt, then dip them liberally in the ketchup. I don't run out of ketchup in the first cup; it just gets too shallow for dipping. So I have to go to the second cup.

I need my vegetables w/ my fries you know. And the salt? That's just so I can ensure that my BP stays up. I need the attention.

[Bunny]

12. How much cash should I take to the Pirates game this Friday night?

Really, how much can the little buggers eat?

[sniffa]

shouLdn't you be paid for that?

[Bunny]

19. Well, they're my own kids. I have yet to have someone pay me to

feed them! :)

[sniffa]

24. no, no - get paid to go to a pirates game

:P

[Richardo]

27. Why I oughtta....

Wait that's not a bad idea.

[Bunny]

40. Oh, NOW I get it!!

Sadly, you are so right. They should pay us fans to show up. Another dismal year looms. Sigh.

[Richardo]

16. The beer price at Astros games is up to $7 a 16 oz. cup

SEVEN FREAKIN DOLLARS!! I thought $5.50 last season was a crime.

[Bunny]

Jeebus H. Crisp!

Seven bucks! That's ridiculous! :wow:

I was planning on actually having a few beers, since I don't have to drive. Maybe I should get to the credit union and take out a loan?

[Heidi]

37. Almost makes ya wanna . . .

become a _soccer_ fan, doesn't it?

[Richardo]

Depends - how much is the beer at a soccer match?

:hi: heidi

[Heidi]

49. Bring yer own, baby!

If you ever get a chance, take in an Italian soccer match.

[giant_robot]

14. Ketchup...that reminds me...

...my girlfriend is bisexual. Have I mentioned that? (Running joke with me and my housemate)

[liontamer]

22. that's so funny

because I'm bisexual. Not that my roomate cares or anything. Heck the kid can't even be bothered to pick up household necessities. I'm so never going to have a roomate again. I hate it! But studios in my neighborhood are up to 1400 dollars a month. Which is ridiculous. Especially considering the neighborhood.

[giant_robot]

28. $1400? Man I'd never pay that.

Rent is a lot cheaper around here. Of, course, I'm not paying rent right now, because I'm housesitting for a friend, but my girlfriend only pays $300 a month. And she's bisexual. Have I mentioned that?

[sniffa]

41. you shouLd have a maid

[Richardo]

46. Everybody ought to have a maid....

...Everybody ought to have a working girl,
Everybody ought to have a lurking girl
To putter around the house.
Everybody ought to have a maid,
Everybody ought to have a menial
Consistantly congenial
And quieter than a mouse.
Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delicious,
Tidying up the dishes,
Neat as a pin.
Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delightful,
Sweeping out,
Sleeping in.

Everybody ought to have a maid,
Someone who you hire when you're short of help
To offer you the sort of help
You never get from a spouse:
Fluttering up the stairway,
Shuttering up the windows,
Cluttering up the bedroom,
Buttering up the master,
Puttering all around the house!
Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delicious,
Tidying up the dishes,
Neat as a pin.
Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delightful,
Sweeping out,
Sleeping in.

Everybody ought to have a maid,
Someone who in fetching you your slipper will
Be winsome as a whipporwill
And graceful as a grouse:
Skittering down the hallway,
Flittering through the parlor,
Tittering in the pantry,
Littering up the bedroom--


Twittering all around the house!

<HYSTERIUM>
A maid?

<SENEX>
A maid.

<PSEUDOLUS>
A maid.

<ALL>
A maid!
Everybody ought to have a maid,
Everybody ought to have a serving-girl,
A loyal and unswerving girl,
To putter around the house.
Oh, oh,

<HYSTERIUM>
Think of her at the dustbin,
'Specially when she's just been
Traipsing about.

<ALL>
Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delightful,

<HYSTERIUM>
Living in,

<SENEX>
Giving out.

<ALL>
Everybody ought to have a maid,
Daintily collecting bits of paper n' strings,
Appealing in her apron strings
And graceful as a grouse.


Pattering through the attic,


Chattering in the cellar,


Clattering in the kitchen,


Flattering in the bedroom,


Puttering all around the house!
The house!
The house!


A maid?


A maid.


A maid.


A maid!


Everybody ought to have a maid,
Someone who's efficient and reliable,
Obedient and pliable,
And quieter than a mouse!
Oh, oh, wouldn't she be so nimble,
Fiddling with her thimble,
Mending her gown.
Oh, oh, wouldn't she be delightful,


Cleaning up,


Leaning down.


Everybody ought to have a maid,
Someone who'll be busy as a bumblebee
And even if you grumble, be
As graceful as a grouse.


Wriggling in the anteroom,


Jiggling in the dining room,


Giggling in the living room,


Wiggling in the other rooms,


Puttering all around the house!
The house!
The house!
The house!


Thanks for the opening, sniffa! :thumbsup:

[sniffa]

[sniffa]

60. i can't beLieve this didn't get any responses

[liontamer]

[sniffa]

[NoSheep]

15. Wait! This thread is about ME!

[Heidi]

18. All about me.

My view down


My view up


My companion


My feeling about what's happening to my people


Me and my country


My work


Me.

[RandomKoolzip]

20. I'm impotent.

[Heidi]

31. Congratulations.

It'll keep you out of trouble, Mr. Guy Who Reminds Me Of Rolling Papers. :rofl:

[redqueen]

21. This nail polish I'm wearing is awful.

I like the color, but it's only been on 2 days and it's already chipping and wearing away at the edges. I used to not even like the stuff... I was conned by my kids, and now it's becoming a habit. :(

[Beware the Beast Man]

25. My wife painted her toenails red & silver.

[redqueen]

29. In stripes? A pattern?

I haven't tried any of that fancy stuff.

I'm still getting used to just not getting it all over my fingers & toes when I do it. So far I haven't succeeded. I just scrape it off my skin after it's dry. How sad is that?

[Beware the Beast Man]

34. Mostly red, with one horizontal silver stripe at the top.

Looks like old muscle car colors.

[Heidi]

32. Mine, too.

I need to remove it, as it's beginning to look "tacky," but I loathe the smell of acetone. :puke:

[redqueen]

38. I hate acetone, too.

I usually just chip it off with my nails, or as much as I can, then use the nasty stuff for the rest.

I can feel my fingers turning to dust using that stuff, so I avoid it whenever I can.

[swag]

23. Saturday

Painting class was cancelled Saturday

Cliff was sick. He must have been really sick, because the old
schrapnel-in-head from Cambodia, Ovid-translating, womanizing,
blues-loving, Bush-bashing, oil-painting, blues-and-blue-grass-moaning ("I hate to see that evening sun go down") old guy can be feeling like dogshit and still come to class because he needs income. And he is determined to pass some very specific drawing and painting traditions on.

So H&I painted at home. Had an at-home painting day, so we could just set up the dining room and have at it with bigger canvases. We both had old larger paintings to work on (neither of us had touched these unfinished paintings for a couple of years), and it was fun to get back to the problems and solutions that we had burned out on so long ago. Was for me, anyway. I think H had fun because she outlasted me. I headed into zombie state after a couple of hours of working on this hyperperspective portrait of a stapler, said state due to much activity and little sleep Thursday-Saturday-morning. So I cleaned up my palette, paints, and brushes and read on the couch for a few minutes before I fell asleep. H continued painting while watching, for about the 70th time, "Sexy Beast." She was 2/3 through "Goodfellas" when I woke up.

We walked a couple blocks to Halo Thai for a small but delicious dinner, then headed onto the wine shop to see Beth, her chica Sandy, and the always agressively lovey dog Porter. Sat there for an hour or two, enjoying the chat and hubbub, before coming home and examining the day's progress on the paintings. I made notes on the study sketch for my painting and may proceed wet-on-wet tomorrow if I get the vacuuming, bills, and birthday shopping done in time. We're talking mostly about reflections and glare on the metallic surface of the stapler. This can be done before the underpainting dries, in fact sometimes it is to the painter's advantage to go wet-on-wet for glare and reflections.

The goal is to have it remain very Op, which it will due to the extreme perspective, but to have the metallic surfaces of the stapler be extremely realistic, even within the confines of my typically blurry painting style.

[JimmyJazz]

26. sure thang - why should this thread be any different?

:P

Whaaa? I keed, I keed.

[Heidi]

35. I'm glad you're back.

I know you only from reading your posts and seeing your photo in the "post a picture" threads, but I like you, and I'm glad you're not gone forever, JJ.

[JimmyJazz]

59. How sweet of you to say! Thank you very much.

:hi:

I've missed being here, too.

[AlCzervik]

39. My mother's day gift

Now they sound great, my mac has turned out to be an excellent audio system but i really fucking hate it when some occasion like your birthday or mother's turns out to be a gift for everyone. I would have been happy with some flowers. I'm guessing on my birthday we'll be getting new garage doors.

[WestHoustonDem]

58. Count your blessings. My mother's day gift was a basket

of dirty laundry.

[Susang]

42. I don't use ketchup on my fries

I prefer to dip them in ranch dressing. You think it's hard to get ketchup from Wendy's for your fries? Try asking them for ranch dressing once! I never get what I want when I order it! :cry:

[Beware the Beast Man]

45. Bush lives on a ranch, therefore ranch dressing is evil.

It's part of a Rovian conspiracy to rid salad bars everywhere of French, Russian amd Italian dressing. :tinfoilhat:

[Susang]

50. Was that a personal attack on my usage of Ranch dressing?

HOW DARE YOU?????? :mad:

[Beware the Beast Man]

55. Angus YOUNG once poured ranch dressing on me

The little creep LOL after I told him and my sister That he couldn;t sleep with me. You all Need help you stalking freepers!

[Susang]

61. Why are you stalking me?

You obviously obsessed with me and have psychological problems, most likely obessessive compulsive blogging disorder. Please seek help, you are scaring me! :scared:

[Kadie]

44. I have a broken vacuum and a very dirty house.

time to break out the tools.
:cry:

[Magrittes Pipe]

48. I don't use protection.

If I catch anything, I can always blame the Bush administration.

[fluffernutter]

52. i always get great service from Wendy's

and i always keep an extra small bottle of ketchup in the car for emergencies.

[Midlodemocrat]

53. I didn't defrost the chicken and avocado turnovers before

I put them in the oven. Grrr. Now it will be another 1/2 hour until I can eat and I am absolutely starving.

[MissMillie]

54. You think that's tough

try getting some tabasco to put in that ketchup when you do get the ketchup... and really, it's not a far stretch to think that someone might like their ketchup "kicked-up" a bit.

I've been putting tabasco in my ketchup for a few months now and find it a very satisfying accompaniment to french fries.

[Theres-a]

56. I don't know ,but KFC drive thru doesn't give out napkins

even for a BUCKET of chicken

[cassandra uprising]

57. I saw the worst play of my life on Friday.

It was a non-linear political commentary piece about the war in Iraq, the war on the poor, etc. that was written and directed by a friend of mine.

Sounds like it should be good, no?

WRONG

Oh my GOD! It was horrible. It was everything Chavez and I could do not to bust out laughing. It was pathetic. It was the kind of thing that makes liberals look like complete idiots.

At best, she attacked jingoistic cliches with jingoistic cliches. Her metaphors for dramatizing such issues as no child left behind and the war were trite and underdeveloped at best. She even had two of the actors sing a song in which the refrain was, "It's all about the price of oil." I could go on but then this post would never end.

It is now my duty to go and write something brilliant.

[Mutley]

62. Every time I go to McDonalds

I have to get on my knees and beg for bbq sauce. BEG! and even then half the time they won't give it to me
