Bunch of cop-guys walking around with blue gloves on. Nobody in the neighborhood knows what's going on at all, can't get any information as nobody talks to the people that live there (50's married couple, kids 17 and 20). Neighbor that knows someone that knows someone, heard it was a murder or a suicide. Or both. It's not on the news anywhere. The house always has at least three cars parked in the driveway (it's a big driveway), and usually 4-6, but now there are no cars to be found. WTF.
Nothing on the news, so I guess it's not a murder and probably a suicide or drug overdose (those kids were fucking crazy, cops came around every month or so for some reason or another). Neighbor told me a body was removed last night. Just sucks, nice enough neighborhood, even gabe can attest to that as he stayed the night at my house last year (or maybe two years ago?)...but this is the latest turn of events that make me want to move away, but maybe the kid that caused all of the problems killed himself and we won't have to worry about shit going down in the neighborhood anymore?
Is this the same kid that had the drive-by targeted at him? If so, you probably edge out Chase in the wtf/craziest neighbor category
you are gonna run into crazies every where...doesn't matter where you move to .....

The last one always gives me a deep laugh, probably because it resonates well with me due to my habit of killing a pizza when I've had a few [too many].

mmm, leftover pizza.....
yeah actually the kid that may have committed suicide across the street from me, well, he may have been the guy that shot up the house across the other street from us. so who knows...still don't know the whole story, hopefully will find out within a few days.

I've been shaving (facial hair ldo) atleast 4 times a week for roughly 13 years and I still suck at it.
Not so much cutting myself, but:
1. Producing and even line on my sideburns (not legit sideburns, they only come about 1/2 way down my ear)
2. Clearing everything off my jaw line and adams apple area
3. Trying to get a close enough shave without causing razor burn or ingrown hairs
Why is something so easy, so goddamn difficult to get right consistently?
Some huge threads on here about shaving. Search here or find the badger and blade forums and site.Quote:

I've been doing this for 15+ years because I shave my head so I never noticed there was a difference. I have been using shave soaps and a brush for the last couple months instead of shvae cream in cans, I still haven't got around to finding a DE razor though. There not that easy to find.Quote:

I had the same problems and have used one of those hair-cut electric razors for 2-3 years now. No need for shaving cream or buying new razors. The only problem, if it is one, is that it leaves you with a 5 o'clock shadow as opposed to getting you completely shaven.
I've tried several electric razors. They never worked for me. Not just not a close shave, but I would always be all patchy and whatnot. Really not sure what I've done wrong, but I'm not sure I really care; std razors give a really close shave and I don't get any irritation now that I do it in the shower.
Yeah I hear ya. There's random patches on occasion so def. not the greatest thing but I'm cheap.
Random pondering:
What makes people laugh?
Here are a few general observations. When you give someone a sincere compliment, they almost invariably laugh, even if absolutely nothing funny was intended. When you tell a joke, as long as you are putting someone else down (preferably outside the group or someone disliked), people will laugh. If it's directed at themselves or someone they admire, there will almost never be laughter (except maybe in a defensive capacity, but it's not genuine). When two people are conversing, typically the dominant person or person with higher status tends to laugh less. Back to joking, even if a joke isn't directly targeting a person or persons, if there is some type of witty humor or riddle that someone has to solve, usually people will laugh.
What is the common denominator in all the plus laughter examples? I'd be inclined to argue that it's simply when people feel good or better about themselves, or maybe another way to word it would be people laugh when their social standing relatively increases.
Thoughts?
^^ LOL
that actually made me bust out laughing
maybe it's time to re-work my theory...
Explaining laughter is one of the most complicated things I can think of
Tonnes of laughter isn't real, including a lot of the ones you mentioned. Most jokes aren't lol funny but people still laugh at the end, sometimes in the more dominant/les dominant person example, people laugh to try to make you like them, like a way of blowing smoke up your ass, sometimes it's just polite. DUnno where I'm going with this.
But when you really laugh, there's nothing quite like it, it makes you feel great. In fact my favourite mates to be around are the ones that constantly make me laugh, and they themselves are the ones who aer always laughing, I guess it's infectious.

I think humor is like The Tao: once you've explained it, you've explained it away. You can say "it's funny because it's true", and be right; but you can also say "it's funny because it's not true", and be just as right. Humor doesn't seem to make any sense outside of the facts that what is funny and how it is created is relative to intelligence and culture, and that there don't really even appear to be any rules and it can permeate just about anything
Part of me wants to say that laughter exists because life's a bitch and then you die, and I guess if you can laugh about it, you do a little better than people who can't. Another part of me wants to say laughter exists because it's excellent for social bonding
I totally agree. The whole "oh, here's a joke" is rarely funny but some people can cleverly and casually work it into conversation and be quite good at it. For my purposes I'd rather just ignore fake/canned laughter and instead focus more on the involuntary funny laughter (or at the very least a big smile).Quote:

Also I'll point out that there's a difference between what generally makes people laugh [now] and why laughter/humor exists across all cultures
The levels of humor are another on topic tangent that is really interesting. For example, one of the reasons Chappelle cited for throwing in the towel was that a lot of the audience wasn't on the same page as him. There were frat boys from kentucky who loved Chappelle, but in a racist way. They liked him because to them he made it ok to make racist jokes. But really Chappelle was mocking racists people with his racial jokes. Or something like that.
Do you know why Chappelle threw in the towel? All I've heard were rumors.
One of the best shows ever made. I was discouraged when it was cancelled. I loved Chappelle back before he was even "Chappelle" (Robin Hood: Men in Tights days)
Psych was one of my favorite courses throughout college and I was going to just say "look up the limbic system" but then I found this article that's pretty decent.
Discovery Health "How Laughter Works"
The fifth page is just an overview of it's parts, but the sixth page on, gives a more in depth analysis of the points Lukie was pointing out.
Edited so the article starts from the very beginning.

OH SHIT FUCK ALIEN BACTERIA WORMS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD
I tend to do pretty low-key stuff on Sundays, so I decided to go to the mall to do some shopping (meh) and get chipotle (win).
Anyway across the street I noticed a store called FAMILY - CHRISTIAN STORES with one of those brightly-lit OPEN signs hanging on the inside.
I thought it was a little ironic.
This guy seems to think the whole alien in meteorite thing is BS.
Did scientists discover bacteria in meteorites? : Pharyngula
He's apparently known for sciencing pretty hard in his day.

Lukie (and anyone else), how do you like your Chipotle? I'm a burrito guy all the way (OMG CARBS!), rice, black beans, chicken, hot (red) sauce, sour cream, and cheese. So delicious.

Preferred: burrito with pretty much everything minus hot (red) sauce, double meatQuote:

I like hot food but something just doesn't sit well with me when using chipotle's red hot sauce. It may be the seeds. Either way the combined ingredients have at least some heat and I'll add tobasco if eating there or frank's red hot if taking home.
*I refuse to count calories but I shoot for a small surplus on weight training days and a small deficit on non-lifting days. Sundays are an off day so I keep carbs lowish (and significantly higher on lifting days). I'll admit that chipotle doesn't taste quite the same without the rice and burrito shell but the beans and corn give it enough starchy flavor that it still tastes better than anything I can cook.

you can get peppers/onions instead of beans? This means I could get peppers/onions in addition to beans! Oh man, on the rare occasion that I eat chipotle, I am such a glutton.

yes, getting peppers/onions instead of beans is an option. I think it's supposed to be one or the other (i.e. burrito vs fajita burrito) but I've been ordering both and have never had any issues.Quote:

Qdoba>Chipotle imo
i got black beans in addition to my usual peppers/onions today for the first time, and while ok, i like the latter by themselves much better.Quote:

i like moes better than either....just because i dont like cilantro and both the other 2 have "cilantro rice" or w/e the fuck that nasty shit it.

Does beer make anyone else somewhat tired?
And by beer I mean strictly beer, not spirits and wine etc.
If I drink almost any amount of any time of liquor and then stop I get really drowsy.
most beers make me very stuffy in my nasal cavity, I think I have a slight allergy. If I have a couple and stop I am usually getting a mild headache too. Mostly, just a stuffy nose though if I am pounding all night.
I don't drink any more...or any less:drunk:
So if I cut out the beer and stuck to a Jack and Coke zero diet, would I drop some weight?
Short answer........yes
My friend in Costa Rica has the same reaction to beer. Beer makes me sneeze a lot. Just sayin'.Quote:
