    "What if the fog I am driving through turns me inside-out?"

    It happens.

    @Timshel_ what happened to mousepads? why don't people use them anymore?

    Optical mice replaced the ball and sensor mice which needed something "grippy" to move the mouse ball on. Optical run on most surfaces, but cannot be too shiny.

    And don't we all miss having to remove the ball and clean the rollers/sensors?

    I miss the one with the ball on top you moved with your thumb

    My wife still uses a trackball....

    They still sell those. Supposed to be more ergonomic, but anyone like me who spends 14 hours a day on a computer knows that every input apparatus and device will eventually cause some kinda of physical issue. We aren't meant for this!

    I can't use them...they just feel strange to me. I started in the early 80's on an Atari 400 and haven't stopped. I've come to accept that my wrists will always hurt.

    I use this, and have for many many years. Just bought 4 more in case mine breaks and they discontinue the mouse.

    If you go to Walmart and you don't see any weird people, does that make YOU the weird person?

    I purposefully grow out my toenails, & paint them all purty, and sharpen them. Get out my purty sandals. Get out my leopard print leggings. Backcomb my hair. (A good Peggy Bundy look) Put in a piece of chewing gum, and get a good butt-crack-syndrome thing going on for me....before I go into Walmart. Makes me feel like a celebrity when I shop in there. ;)

    There is more knowledge accessible in the palm of your hand now than anyone has ever had access to in the history of mankind.

    Unless you believe in aliens, cuz aliens.

    There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. https://youtu.be/FCcdr4O-3gE

    Google could be lying about how many search results it gives, no one's going to actually check that far.

    My watch tells me I have more steps today after my first day back to work in a week, than I do in the last 5 days combined. Damn was I lazy on those sick days.

    People should stop posting videos of concerts that they record on their cell phones. I don't think anyone watches those shaky videos with bad audio.

    My friend at work always brags about being able to watch movies that are still in theaters on her Fire stick... She finally said the other day that they are movies that someone recorded with their phone and then uploaded. She even said most are shaky and sound bad. Ummm, no thanks, I wouldn't brag about it. I will wait for the dvd if I don't see it in the theater.

    People used to sneak video cameras into the theaters and do the same thing, 30 years ago! Same quality issues then, too!

    Stabbing a vampire in the heart with a wooden stake would work with just about any thing you wanted to kill.

    I wonder how many times a bird caller thought they were calling to a bird, but we’re actually calling to another bird caller.

    I thought the same thing when I was watching my DVR yesterday. I had like 6 episodes to catch up on.

    I love thunderstorms, but I hate being in them.

    We are expecting severe storms later. I hope it waits until I get home.

    You are not defined by the things that happen to you.
    You are defined by what you choose to do in light of them.

    "Rear facing, pedal activated photon canon" sound much more bad *kitten* than "break lights".

    Sometimes it's hard to keep going when patting yourself on the back is the only sense of approval or compliments you get from all your hard work.

    The voice of Yoda is done by Frank Oz, who also happens to voice "Miss Piggy" from The Muppets.
