Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

I've been trapped in the house for over a week now, so I've been on here more often than usual and in reading various posts I've found words and phrases one doesn't hear enough. Being a lover of words, I'm now compiling a short list and will be using them often. Today's found phrase was "crop dusting", and today's found word was " obsequious ".

I love you guys.

Look forward to reading your list.  How is house arrest treating you?

I watched a spider be a spider for about half an hour, then spoke to it to see if it'd respond to my voice. I think I've gone mad.

Have you room for dichotomy; centrifuge; isopropanol; potentiometer and Reynolds numbers?

They will, but because they feel the vibrations. Spiders are under rated as pest controllers; I think with enough time and patience they can be trained to run errands and simple chores in the house,, 


I made that last bit up.

singers are just fucking overrated.  singing isn't that difficult, and i don't know why they're held in such high regard.  fuck that.  i'm FAR more impressed by a great bassist, drummer, or guitarist.

You're just jealous because singers usually get first pick of the hot chicks after the gig.  Of course,even drummers and guitar players are far ahead of trombone players. Except at some salsa gigs.

Yes, I recently utilized that resource to learn the meaning of "Bye, Felicia".

I knew it responded and it wasn't my imagination! I agree with you on pest control so, for the most part, I let house spiders live. Also, isn't there some saying about killing them being bad luck/bringing bad karma?

Want a read? The true story of the Harry Quebert affair, by Joel Dicker (Yes his real name)...excellent read Onan.

I used to have a game with a guy I worked with before meetings. We gave each other words that had to be used at least once in the meeting in front of everyone else.. Sounds easy, but when you're both trying not to laugh it's not so easy.

Thanks man, I'm past the security point. I can get drunk, but not buy a book.

Recovering from some medical event?  Good luck and get well. 
I also prefer to "let spiders live" unless, of course, they're crawling on my person.  Then ALL bets are off.  Yes, I find you fascinating little guy, but I also regard you with a whoop-ass load of ICK! (involuntary jumping up and down with squishing sounds)

Was it because you got drunk and caused a security breach?

This is how I view everyone I encounter on the internet. Especially the females.

No, thankfully nothing quite so eventful as a medical event, but still stuck and bored nonetheless. Thanks for your well wishes though. Also, I've been bitten by a brown widow hiding in my bath towel before so, yes, I will scream and smash in a heartbeat!

[BattyBrooke]

I'm confused. Is that supposed to be you viewing everyone (especially females) on the internet, or is that how you imagine we (especially me, being female) all look?

I apologize if I offended I didn't mean to imply that you, if you are in fact a female, look like that. I was just making a point that I just assume that anyone I am talking to on the internet is a dude, no matter what their screen name or persona is.

It's the guitarist that makes the band. 
I have not heard any singers lately that sound well, they all sound like they're whining to me.

...so I've been on here more often than usual and in reading various posts I've found words and phrases one doesn't hear enough. Being a lover of words, I'm now compiling a short list and will be using them often. Today's found phrase was "crop dusting", and today's found word was " obsequious ".

What a coincidence - just two days ago I used the word obsequious while speaking, and thought to myself, "Now there's a word I don't see used often." I voluntarily took an etymology class when in school as an elective. Nerd.

Usage example: There is a lot of obsequiousness on this forum.

The fact you too, thought of this word is proof that portals exist. Or angels.

One quick thought BB: were you educated in either Canada or the U.K.?

[jazmunda]

I used the word ubiquitous the other day. I surprised myself and befuddled my colleague.
