SWMBO is across the country for work, so I am even less centered than usual. Here's a few things I noticed last night and just today on my short commute to work.

1) every time I ask someone "how's your dog" the answer always seems to be "dead." I am going to stop asking this.

2) I hide Spam like prisoners hide porn, weapons and homebrew in my house. I know I'll get a lecture and it might even be confiscated. I probably wouldnt crave the stuff so much if it wasnt so hard to get. Last night, totally ate fried spam, not sure if the guilt is worth it.

3) Yeah, I can totally buy porn on the tv while SWMBO is out of town. Thing is, I can better stuff for free on the computer even when she is in town. Worst $9.99 I ever spent.

4) I'm not coerced, but usually I take SWMBO's lead when it comes to going to sleep. Since she wasnt there last night, I stayed up until 2 drinking scotch like a yutz. I woke up with just enough time to throw on clothes and get to work. So now Im hung over, smelly, and sans eyeglasses. How the hell did I function single??

5) I'm still angry from a post mtg made about his neighbor trashtalking his hobby and bringing his daughter into the insult. So, to recap my psychosis, I am angry that someone I have never met has said something paraphrased by someone else I have never met in a town I have never been to. I have no firsthand knowledge of the situation nor am I personally affected. Maybe I'm the one who is mentally ill here.

6) Before wildwest says it, yeah I'm probably the one who is mentally ill.

7) SWMBO has a college-aged cousin who is my facebook friend. Good kid, but thinks his polical views have to be heard. They are moronic, and will likely change by the time he hits 25. I have been forbidden from defriending him. Sigh.

8) I'm not sure what is odder, the fact that I invert my quote/response here is so bothersome to cheezydemon3, or the fact that I enjoy torturing him with it.

9) There is an 80% chance that anything I post, wherever I might be online, will get a "firstworld problems" response.

and finally...

10) My brain works so strangely. No matter what someone's av pic is I picture them as that pic when I read their post. For example, Brewknurd busts my chops (in hilarious fashion) whilst holding a dog and smiling, Airborneguy peeks from around a corner, and cheezy is a talking beer bottle. For this reason, I try to make sure I'm polite to Yooper.

From what I hear, you can block peoples status updates. This could cure this problem.
 
'Nother slow day at work, huh Jim?

For the record, my dogs are alive and well. Also, scotch isn't really what one should drink while watching porn at 2 am. That's more of a "Twisted Tea" type of activity. The Spam on the other hand compliments the porn nicely.
 
Unless you wife took your balls with her on her trip, you should totally unfriend that kid.

Look at me, for example. I unfriended my MOTHER IN LAW! Things are so much better when you don't to read people bitching about stupid stuff or voicing their political opinions to one and all.

Oh wait. I forget you LIKE to listen to people *****!

1. Yup. Also how's your wife usually end in "I'm getting divorced".
2. Love the stuff. I eat it on days when I'm alone too.
3. She's still going to see the bill. Better come up with a good excuse.
4. When alone I wake up in my chair at 3 am and put myself to bed. I am a manchild.
5. Nothing a road trip can't take care of.
6. Not an more than most. Unless you're seeing things. Then yes you are.
7. Respond with nonsense. Nothing is more relevant to ill though out ideology than responding with you're own style of nonsense. EX, "I like IKE!".
8. I like Ike!
9. My iphone went of late this morning. It was not my fault.
10. Awesome.
 
My former dog is dead. But my current dog is nuts. He's a black Lab, and he sleeps on the kitchen table.
I sleep on the sofa every.single.night.
I've got to find that post so that I can also be pissed off.
Ignore all political facebook posts.
You'd better be nice to Yooper; you're just a tiny amber silhouette.
:mug:
 
I saw pics of your dog Sharona, thats a first. I have seen labs sleep just about anywhere and play with just about anything, but thats a new one for me. Sounds like you need Caesar. Ha!

What the hell does salad dressing have to do with this?
 
I tried to dogproof my kegerator, since it's right next to the table. That boy has a LOT of personality.

Uhhh, you just described it. It's also why you didn't get promotions/raises.

And to make it more exciting, wait till you have kids and ask yourself, "How the F*** did I waste years and years of free time? Wait, WTF IS free time?"

Umm, you know they have settings that enable you to keep people as friends but hide all their garbage, right?

Right?

Oh, you didn't?

That's ok, at least you're not hungover.


Wait, you DID shave your genitals last night, didn't you? :tank:

Both are indicative of something... not quite sure what yet.

Oh yeah, there it is!

The thirty minutes after you put the kid to sleep but before you pass out.

Please don't ask me about my dog then.

wait for it

Plus you can change subjects a lot quicker on the net

I have this same problem

you should drink more Scotch, it will help you forget

Save everything he types and make him a scrapbook to enjoy in the future

The Spam on the other hand compliments the porn nicely.

Oh yeah especially if you warm it up to body temp.....wait whut, umm nevermind. :ban:
