Random thoughts

[Doc Holliday]

Nothing of any specific importance....just stuff that may be swirling around in your melon, looking for a way out.

Feel free to bitch, piss & moan, or just generally whine about anything at all.

As a f'rinstance, my supervisor is really torquing my bolts today. She has been taking her elderly mother to doctor's appointments all week, and it really interferes with her creating superfluous drama around the office. The way this woman bitches about her mother (whom I've met and think is a pretty sharp old lady) is a damned shame.

I'd wish for something bad to happen to her, but if it did I would wind up doing her job, and I wouldn't have her job on a bet.

Sound off, y'all!

1. Shouldn't be saying something about being due beer and travel money?

[dawg]

2. And many experiences.

Don't forget the experiences.

[geardaddy]

3. Ahh yes.

How stupid of me.

4. Do you ever pass a field of horses on a very cold day

and there are 10 or 20 horses all standing around trying to get a bite of icy grass or just standing there shivering and then you notice that ONE of the horses is wearing a blanket?

This drives me crazy. I mean, do the other horses get jealous and think "Why the hell is he so special he gets a f***ing blanket and I am freezing my ass off"?

Is the blanketed horse snubbed by the other horses or do they think "wow, that must be one really super horse I want to be his friend".

And what the hell is the horse with the blanket feeling? Does he feel bad for the colder, less fortunate horses or does he show his blanket off?

And who owns 20 horses and only 1 blanket?????

Why? Why? Why?

[riderinthestorm]

18. Ooh! Ooh! I can answer this!! (rider waves arm in air frantically!)

The one horse just doesn't grow a "good" winter coat, probably a thin skinned Arab or TB.

OR!!

That one horse is a boarder's horse and that owner blankets while the owner of the other 19 horses doesn't.

Honestly, most horses hate to be blanketed. They can be pretty snappish when putting them on or off. They prefer to NOT have them on. It's healthier for them to NOT be blanketed if you can get away from it. Their hair is designed to "loft" and hold the warm air near their skin.

Hope that helps....

I have been obsessed with the single horse with a blanket thing for several years. And I did consider the boarded horses thing, but that still doesn't answer my questions about how the horses feel about all of this...

9. .

What I thought. I carefully read the post looking for tell tails..

[catabryna]

17. That is not RT's photo...

who screwed it up? Was it you?

eta: If so, that is not right, and you should take it down... then again, I'm using firefox with adblock. It's gone right now.

eta2: Yours is gone too.

[AsahinaKimi]

21. I could not find the exact photo

not even on DU2. Mine is gone? You lost me there...Clarify?

[catabryna]

25. The mouth is crooked...

it is not right. Would you like me to find it for you on DU2?

eta: I'm beginning to think he/she might be you. Argh!

eta2: I had private messages with random thoughts. I'm not going to search out the pictures. I know I am right.

[AsahinaKimi]

28. "I'm beginning to think he/she might be you"

You must be funny! If you had private messages with him, then you Know I am not him. In fact, if you might look through DU2 you will see I had many arguments with him. Do you think I staged that as well?

Personally, I didn't care for him. I thought he was rather rude. Enjoy your day. Oh, and a question...
How often did RT speak in Japanese? Because, as anyone will tell you...I often do in my posts!

Goman na hitoga Kirada!

29. Searching for exactness in celebrating the random?

You're doing it wrong.

[NV Whino]

6. Year end shit

I fucking hate it.

[Wait Wut]

7. I had to buy my lunch today.

Went all the way to Carl's Jr. and got all the way back to work.

I forgot to put gas in my car and didn't have enough to get home. The traffic on our street is horrible after 5, so going after work is insane. I had to drive all the way back to damn near where I came from.

My lunch is cold.

[MiddleFingerMom]

8. GARLIC MAKE MAH FEET STANK!!!!!!!! n/t

[kentauros]

23. That's what happens

when you try to make garlic wine.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. How come they only number the combo meals at Dunkin Donuts?

Why don't they number all the individual stuff and then we can order a "fifteen" or a "three-nine-twelve"?

[kentauros]

24. That reminds me.

I need to write to Schlotzsky's. I'm tired of their "salad on a bun" veggie sandwich choice.

[Doc Holliday]

11. Most times

when I see a picture of Michelle Obama, or see her on TV, I think at least a few impure thoughts.... sometimes more than a few.

Does this make me a bad person? Or just an ol' horndog?

Would the President want to kick my ass if he knew the stuff that goes through my mind about his wife? Or would he just smile indulgently and say, "Dream on, white boy" ?

[OxQQme]

13. Me too Doc, me too

except it would be, "Dream on, OLD white boy". And she'd smile with those big pearlys.........and wink.........and my old heart would get all fluttery.............and I'd probably kick the bucket right there.

[Doc Holliday]

14. Or....

....you could fake the heart attack. Maybe get a little mouth-to-mouth.

My wife thinks my fascination with the First Lady is hilarious. She totally cracked me up once when a couple of drinking buds and I were, uh, discussing the First Lady-- she affected a gruff Southern redneck-type voice, and hit us with Peter Boyle's famously racist line from Monster's Ball-- "You're not a man till you split dark oak."

It was horrible....and we all fell out laughing.

I'm a lucky guy to have such a tolerant spouse. I understand that not all men do.

[handmade34]

19. I love Michelle!

[Doc Holliday]

31. Yeah....

....me, too. But I guess everyone has pretty much figured that out by now.

[OriginalGeek]

12. I miss the Carol Burnett show.

I saw an infomercial last night for DVDs with 2 episodes each for 10 bucks and I guess you could eventually own every episode (11 years worth?) but that seems pricey. Maybe I'll wait for the Blu-rays.

[pacalo]

22. Yeah, that's my gripe, too. I miss that show & the dvd's are ridiculously high

for what little they give you.

One neat thing, though, is that you can see some skits & a lot of the "Mama's Family" skits on youtube!

Edited to add Part Two:

[catabryna]

15. Where's my beer and travel money? nt

For RT:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. was all about the beer and the travel money and good experiences.

He was due all three.

[progressoid]

27. Hope he found them all.

[handmade34]

20. I want my farm!!!

organic vegetables, chickens, pigs.... Ohhhh!!!!

[Quartermass]

30. After watching a show called the Naked Archeologist

I'm a fan of the show Naked Archeologist, and through that show I learned about a Biblical character named Og.

Moses slayed him using a magical spear given to him by god.

And in another work. there are two different versions of him and Noah's Ark. One version of him has him riding out the storm on top of the Ark, and in another Noah simply made a special room for him inside the Ark.

I just found it an interesting thing, is all.

32. Why do people on the interstate get into the left lane

then slow down to match the speed of the car they're passing?
