Thread: Random post of the day

If you do not enjoy this, there is something seriously wrong with you.

Mongolian lasses have horizontal minges...

Soya milk doesn't go with coffee

For Halloween I'm going to dress as myself, just an average man trapped in the alternate timeline of the 21st century. With rising sea levels and extreme temperatures, climate change is a reality. The European Union is disintegrating. The military supremacy of the United States in Southeast Asia is now being challenged by China. War ravages the Middle East. in the U.S., a narcissistic madman is close to being elected president, and gain access to nuclear launch codes with which he could destroy us all upon a whim. This is my scary costume.

Me too. I call my costume 'Middle-aged Man Dressed Age Inappropriately'. It's fucking scary.

Another random thought... Fuck Halloween. We never had it when I was a kid. When did it even become a 'thing'?

^ The Red Shed introduced it to sell heaps of Chinese made costumes.

Origins probably go back about 1,000 years (give or take, cannot be arsed to determine more closely).

The word "Halloween" dates back about 270 years though.

Makes you at least 300 years old. Well done!

Agreed. And especially in Asia.
We always looked at it as a quaint U.S. custom that we knew because was featured in a few TV shows.

And also means I've aged remarkably well, you cheeky git.

Wot Cujo said though. When I was a kid it was always a peculiarly American thing that you'd see on TV/Movies. A bit like Oreos and M&M's and milk from cartons - none of which we had when I was a kid either.

Oh wait, fuck I am old!

We were so poor when I was a kid, on Christmas Day if I didn't wake up with an erection, I had nothing to play with all day.

I think he means a 'thing' celebrated in the U.S. as it is with Halloween parties and kids trick or treating and so on.

^^, I think he means we never had it in NZ.

Oops...covered.

Instant coffee is crap

Sometimes when the ratios are just right and the water's just the right temp, a cup o' nescafe just hits the right spot though.

I can't drink coffee, it can trigger migraines.

I hate it when someone tells me: 'I have a migraine'.

Fuck off you do, if you had a migraine you wouldn't be standing there telling me a migraine. Take some fucking aspirin for your fucking headache and stop calling it a migraine.

^ Yeah.
And, "I've got the flu".
No you don't, you have a slight sniffle from a mild cold, and you're tired from laying awake last sniffing.

Good thread; well done to Cujo.

Instant nescafe can be improved if you fill cup 50% then add 50% cold milk. Microwave for a minute and it foams up like a poor mans cappucino. Leave it a few minutes before drinking as it may resemble a cup of nuclear lava

...then pour that shit away and brew a real cup of coffee.

Not if the shop only sells that 3in1 shit.
Whats the deal with this acceptability of powdered whitener/milk in Thailand?

In most countries that's only used in extreme circumstances

This dance is interesting. He cultivates the optical illusion that he is hovering...

How many times should I urinate per day?

Google tells me that most people urinate between six and eight times a day but that as many as 10 times a day isn't abnormal if you're drinking a lot of fluids.

It's 11:43 and I've already been about seven times already, just about to go again. That may be verging on abnormal.
