  1. Angela... I thought I would just cover the absolute basics in the first lesson....
  2. Rules for grocery cart travel 1. Always book through a reputable grocery cart travel agent. 2. Test drive your cart before accepting it as your final choice. Beware of: (a) Wonky Wheel - the cart that has a wonky wheel will whip your cream, scramble your eggs and bounce your beef. Wonky wheels are generally a front wheel that flutters wildly at any speed beyond a crawl. (b) Skid wheel. - the antithesis of wonky wheel, skid wheel locks up and makes it feel like you are pushing a snow shovel through three feet of snow rather than gently pushing your cart. 3. Avoid persons with blue hair, support hose, polyester pants, and thick glasses. Sure. They look like grandma. That's what they want you to believe. They are hell spawn. They use the innocent guise to take out their built up rage by targeting the Achilles tendons of anyone in their vicinity. 4. Avoid families. Families tend to park their carts in the dead centre of an aisle with the sole purpose of dominating a section and blocking you from getting what you want. Skirt around them and hit them from behind, using skills you learn from blue haired people. 5. Produce section. Vegan and environmentalist alert. You will see them, the gaunt and urban hip, patrolling the free range lettuce section. They sneer at your factory farm celery and prepackaged carrots. Fuck em up by taking the pepperoni sticks that you are going to buy, opening, eating and breathing on them. They will flee. 6. Dairy section. Frequently dominated by egg inspectors and milk carton expiration checkers. Nothing you can do about these, they are implicit in the region. Flatulence seems to be a short term plan to drive them off briefly, but they will return. 7. Frozen food aisle. Only a boon in the summer time. Personal experience says that it is impolite to ask buxom young women to remove their parkas mid winter whilst strolling in this section. 8. Bread and pastry aisle. Perhaps the one safe haven in the store, you can protect yourself between the standing piles of bread and pastry. 9. The checkout. Take the mid size line. The short line will be dominated by people who have healthier food than you and will mock you for the Pogos, pop tarts and frosted flakes in your cart. Longer lines are dominated by families sending their offspring for one last thing, alcoholics paying for their discounted food with dimes, nickels and pennies, and the blue haired people attempting to use coupons that expired in the 1970s. 10. Best advice? Move to a town that lets you shop online and delivers the food to you.
  3. Original Twilight Zone Intro If this has been mentioned, I am sorry... but what could a classic theme thread be without Bond, James Bond And the Peter Gunn theme as performed by the Art of Noise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IECx1daPRe0&feature=fvst ... last one for now.... Hogan's Heroes

    Three is better than one!!

    If Sesame Street used this to illustrate "three", we all would have been much more comfortable with numbers.

  14. Thank God it wasn't another "y"... you were beginning to stretch the bounds of my iPod Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Matador http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdAS7EDuF6Y
  15. I couldn't agree more Pete. I pat on the back is much more helpful than a kick in the shins; a kind word is always more welcome than criticism, be it perceived as constructive or not. We all express opinions here; sometimes they run afoul of other's values. Making a public example of someone to boost one's own sense of self worth is something we need to keep in check. One further thing that needs to be spoken of, the fact that words on a screen or on paper do not necessarily reflect the passion with which they were spoken. We all fall victim to the double entendre, whether in a sexual or a vindictive sense. It's best to perceive the best rather than to suspect the worst. To reiterate your original point, the love we have for our friends here is the same as the love we have for our colleagues in "mainstream" life. I for one value the friends I have made here and will continue to foster those relationships... remember, behind each one of those avatars is a living breathing sack of DNA with emotions!!!! (okay my sack is somewhat larger than it was when I was 20... but it is still an emotional sack!)
  16. CK... if ya can't get them to help lift stuff, at least hire a few pretty ones to help you unpack!

  18. I tried this... I got confused, lost where I was, got distracted and then fell asleep. What were we talking about?
  19. Luxie... while I agree that Hilary Duff did absolutely NO justice to Depeche Mode, the fact that she is no longer jail bait and is displaying a great deal of sexual energy has me vexed..... maybe if I turned the sound off and just stared it would be very very good......
