Random thoughts...
Options
Sometimes I think of things and I would like to post my random thoughts here. Feel free to do the same.
Okay. So today, while walking to the gym, I noticed that the street didn't smell very good - kind of like if someone was drinking urine, suddenly realised it, vomited and then tried to clean it up with a rotting fish they happened to have in their pocket. I thought to myself, I wish it would rain and you know what? IT RAINED. I made it rain. Then I thought to myself again, only this time the thought was what if everyone only gets one wish that comes true and instead of wishing for a pet giraffe or money to buy a pet giraffe or something equally cool, I wasted my wish on stupid rain? Then, I realised that there is no way that kind of power would ever be left in my hands by what or who is in charge of that sort of thing, and I felt better. I'll sleep tonight!

Haha you are a funny one! :laugh:0

sexygenius, you only beat the system if the wishes come true like mine did. My wish took about 2 hours. Yours might take longer because of the complexity.
Something else I was thinking - If you ever want to celebrate a skunk's birthday, whatever you do, don't throw them a surprise party. It will be a disaster.0 -
I love this topic!0

Why do most packages of hot dogs come in 10, but most packages of the hot dog buns come in 8?0
-

Why are cherries so expensive? They are fruit - not gemstones.0

Okay, I have a coleslaw theory. (Since this is a general theory, you must eliminate the people that LOVE coleslaw and the people that HATE coleslaw...they don't count for obvious reasons.)
If you are at a restaurant that offers you coleslaw or a variety of other things as a side dish, most people will tend to lean to the "something else." That said, if you are brought coleslaw as an automatic side dish, most people will tend to eat some or all of it.
It's almost like coleslaw is a dish that most people don't really want, but are totally fine with eating if they are presented with it on their plate.
Coleslaw is the Pluto of the food world...you get to count as food, but a bunch of people don't really want you.
Poor coleslaw...0 -
I am also fascinated by the pschology behind the sticks you put between orders at the grocery store and other places. Many times, I don't put the stick between my order and the person in front of me to see what they will do. I could leave 3 feet of empty belt between their food and mine, doesn't matter...
They will undoubtedly look at the empty space with a slightly panicked expression and -- 9 times of out 10 -- will put that stick between our purchases. Even when there is no doubt that our stuff is not together.
It's like a compulsion.
I could go on with random stuff for days...0 -

The reason for putting the stick in between is because not all cashiers are smart ones! LOL!0 -

Poor coleslaw...
That is unless you live in the south then they put the coleslaw on hamburger and hotdogs. I was so confused when I was at a potluck and they offered it to me.0 -
Another thing - Do you think that homo erectus, for example, or any of our ancestors kept their fingernails smooth? I ask because when we have a catch in a nail, it's really, really irritating - almost like an itch in that you are compelled to do something about it. I challenge you to go for an entire day with a jagged fingernail. It will make you crazy, and not only because it will catch on everything.
I agree about poor coleslaw. It's a C-list side-dish that nobody took to the side-dish prom. Boiled potatoes would have gone with coleslaw, but they were to shy to ask...0 -
When someone is driving under the speed limit in the left hand lane, why do they give me a dirty look when I'm forced to pass them on the right?0

I hope I am doing this correctly--I haven't quite figured out this posting stuff...Sometimes I think of things and I would like to post my random thoughts here. Feel free to do the same.

Please do not wish for rain anymore--I want to go out and do some gardening here in Oregon. Right now I would trade all this rain for TWO pet giraffes!0 -
I don't have to wish for it anymore because it already rained. I'll happily take the 2 giraffes you offered, though...0

Why -- when waiting for an elevator or at a corner to cross the street -- do people feel the need to push the button several times because things aren't happening fast enough? Especially when they see the button has already been pushed. No, the speed of the thing is not in direct proportion to how many times the button was pushed.
This is obviously people that need to fill the time with something, as standing there waiting is just too difficult.

PS I'm in Los Angeles -- there must be no one wishing for rain here or the prayers are just going unheard. And the always-fabulous 100+ degree "it's a dry heat" weather will soon be upon us.0 -
I hate that too. Especially when someone sees that you have pressed it and immediately presses it again. Do they think I didn't press it correctly? Did they take a special button-pressing course that makes them so much more effective at pressing buttons than the rest of us?
I wonder why refrigerators are magnetic.0
