Man, I never realize just how much I swear in regular conversation until somebody brings their kid into work, and suddenly I have to be make a point to be hyper-aware of it so I don't get the parent all up in my grill for accidentally teaching their little darling that "THE FUCK IS UP, BITCHEZZZ??" is an acceptable form of greeting.
I totally know what its like, I have a daughter, and I always constrained my languaje around her, now, instead of contstraining all of the bad words, before I start talking when I know I will curse, I just look at my daughter and tell her: "You are grown up, you can handle bad words and when to use them or when not to." And then I curse with complete peace of mind. My daughter is 13, I think she does the same when talking near me, avoiding bad words.
Yes, with a quick verbal "boom." You take a man's peko, you deny him his dab, all that is left is to rise up and tear down the walls of Jericho with a ".....not!" -TexiKen
My daughter is two, so when I am driving I have to just string together lines of nonsense to keep from swearing.
Sample:
"Oh you fraggle doctor!!! Get the fish soup back in your lane, dig dug camel snake blanket!!!"
I thoroughly enjoy John Green's not-swearings on youtube all the time.
work is canceled due to impending doom today. I'm expecting wind damage to be the most dangerous here, but I am on the (relative) leeward side of long island. The eye appears to have shifted further south than it was going to hit. I'm still not sure weather I should be terrified of the storm surge- google's plugin puts me at ~50% for 6 feet or more, maximum is supposed to be 11 feet plus high tide. I'm pretty sure there's more than 11 feet of height between me and the shoreline, but said shoreline is about half a mile away. Its gonna suck if the Long Island Railroad station right on the water is inundated.
attempting to make light-hearted weather puns isn't lightening the mood any :<
Weirdly enough it hasn't really rained here? Last night at 1am was supposed to be 100% chance of rain, and it has been ever since, and yet the sidewalks are dry.
Having lived through more than a few hurricanes in both Florida, North Carolina, and Houston, Texas, hurricane stats like being category 1 vs category 2-5 don't always equate to destructiveness. I lived in Houston during Tropical Storm Allison and that absolutely wrecked the place with rain, causing 5.5 billion dollars worth of damage. To a region that is generally well prepared for rain.
Sure it COULD be overstated and be totally weak and not cause much damage. Then everyone that says its blown out of proportion can nod and pat themselves on the back. On the other hand, it could be terrible and a lot of people could lose their lives. Crazy flooding and loss of power for a long time this close to winter could be really bad. I'd rather people prepare for that eventuality rather than preparing for it being a total flop.
We've already seen a steady downpour and the storm is barely near us. Im up on a hill in baltimore, so unless theres some sort of cataclysmic flooding we'll be fine, but the power is another story. Fells point and some of the harbor hoods may suffer some water damage.
Some of the pictures of the flooding in New York are pretty crazy. Looks like a couple of rivers have breached their banks. Toronto is seeing quite a bit of rain but I think we're still pretty far away from the storm proper.

Were you in Houston during Hurricane Rita? That thing was hyped to be worse than Katrina, and scared the hell out of every damn person in the area.
Then right before it hit the Galveston coastline, it dropped from a Level 5 to a Level 1 thanks to Cuba :P
I was so thankful my roofer dad could see the hype bullshit for what it was and decided to sit it out instead of heading for dodge.

Bet you 20 bucks the state of New York experiences a spike in pregnancies in a months time.
People would be sexing like crazy tonight as electrical outage boredom sets in.

Oh sure, obviously.
What I want to see the statistics on is how many people make that proposition to their partner using a line involving the phrase, "Rock You Like a Hurricane", and what percentage of those people get rebuffed, and to what degree.
"Do you have a map? Because I'm lost in your eyes."
Its so cheesy that my liver is failing from reading that. The bad thing about those phrases, is that they actually WORK for some people, in a non-"ironic" way.

best pick up line requires a prop. Grab one of those packs of sugar from a cheap restaurant, you know, the white one's that just say "SUGAR" across them. Drop on floor in front of pretty person. Causally pick it up, hand it to them and say "dropped your name tag." nonchalantly walk off, if they talk to you later you are gold.
I could never do any of those mentioned by broken or Pierce, but I can totally see the appeal and how they would work. Not to mention the bravery and charisma those would require to pull off successfully.

I agree with you F87, I didnt dare to say anything before, because I feared retaliation.

the best pickup line I've ever received was, "You gonna come over and talk to me? Or you just gonna let me eye-fuck you all night?"
I suppose you do have some reason to feel a little disturbed if someone you don't know says that to you...
Probably the cheesiest line that I actually used and worked was after I said something silly. I don't quite remember what but it went something very close to this afterwards.
Her - "You're fucking with me."
Me - "Not yet but the night's young."
I think we had two more drinks and then we went to my place. I found out later that she'd just broken up with her fiancée that day or the day before.

I don't think I have had coughs this booming in a long long long time. When I cough, its like a portal being opened to Hell.

You've got the Hurricane plague, I've got the Australian plague! Totally different. (God this hacking is really rather painful)

It can't be just me, can it??

"What major are you? Because you are one FIIIINE artist."
Makes me chuckle every time
:winky
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
BUT.
I've decided I'm going to make pumpkin gingerbread tomorrow! I'm already excited.
[edit] and by "tomorrow", I really mean "later".
Stupid reversed seasons.
Just send it out to a stranger.

My co-worker said “I really love it, but could you erase the logo from that Sony DSC P200?”
I called his bluff, that is not the model of the camera. We went to Google aaaand guess I was wrong.
What are the odds that someone would know the model number of a random camera on a stock photo?
edit: And it looks like episode 7 is coming in 2015.
I'm just gonna leave that here...
As a huge Star Wars fan, I have no interest in more movies. I have less interest in more Star Wars movies than even Blade Runner 2.
Turns out he used to do advertising for Sony. His eyes sparkle when he talks about Sony.
There is good news though... Lucas would be a creative consultant, not 'director/writer/final arbiter'.
Not that it will get me to see it unless it gets rave reviews, but theres a light in dark side of the force.
That can't be right....can it?
Holy shit it is true....I know he's semi-retired now but the buttfucking he got from the internet must've rocked him even more than I thought.
