OT: 108th Obsequious Banter Thread: Nine dozen eggs and not one broken

[Jack Straw]

Why is there?

Because that’s where it is. It is. There.

*** you know what happened here***

“NOW THERE’S A WHOLE SOFA WHERE I WANT TO PUT MY HEAD!”

Does life in Bruges imitate art in any manner?

In Bruges features 126 uses of the f-word and its derivatives. Over the course of the film's 107-minute running time, that works out at around 1.18 f-words per minute.

Aha. Love that film.

Bruges is very pretty but like Ken says:

"Ken, I grew up in Dublin. I love Dublin. If I grew up on a farm, and was Pejorative Slured, Bruges might impress me but I didn't, so it doesn't."

Now, it did impress me to a degree, but yeh, I grew up in Manchester aha. I prefer Ghent tbh... less "fairytaley" but just as pretty and more stuff to do.

Just realized I have been here for 12 years (after lurking for a long time while being a Big Deal on other forums) and have not yet hit 1,000 posts. Well, that's about to change very soon. Upcoming reflections, manifestos, meditative thoughts on the event. Full-frontal nudity is under consideration.

Move. It.

I’m. Sitting. On. It.

I'll get to my egg take when I finish the other 50 pages of this awesomeness, but I had to post while I was thinking about it.

I just saw a WWF commercial stating that, on average, 1 snow leopard is killed every day, and there's only around 6,500 left in the wild. f*** people man, f*** PEOPLE!
Agent Smith was right.

If I start watching Smackdown again will they stop killing the leopards

I am also the solution to all their problems. So they just have to deal with it.

Ok, so, knocking on the door of 1,000 posts, some things have come clearly to light for me:

- I initially came here for Flyers talk...and now I haven't talked Flyers in years
- The intellectual humor here is off the charts. It's really a vanguard of online discourse
- I love animals but loathe photos of animals
- Most everyone seems in on the joke, no matter what that joke is
- We're almost all white guys (mea culpa, Chinatown)
- The first thing I do when I wake up is check this site (porn not included)
- I never want to meet any of you in person. I have a proud reputation of being an idiot and cannot let the veil drop to show you how much of your master I really am
- I trust the "sources" here to break news - with realistic analyses - ahead of other places
- I never type "lol" - I am categorially against it

I'm sure there are other things, but that's a solid recap. I really want my #1,000 post to be deep, meaningful, and something I can look back on and say, "Yeah, I posted that," while puffing out my chest and giving the royal wave.

Get ready for a masterpiece...

There is a movie thread. I swear moderating this place is like herding cats on the sauce.

I've got the NBA on. The Child doesn't know if she wants the Warriors or Nets to win because neither are animals, so she is rooting for the basketball.

Her big project today was her naughty/nice list.

Nice: Nearly everyone she can think of.

Naughty: Daddy, Mommy, George (a boy at school who hit her at recess)

I told a former coworker she was counted as Nice, and she offered to buy the Child a car. The Child then spent the next half hour high on power again, gloating about how it will be a shiny racecar that she's gonna drive one hundred fast. At some point I may need to tell her she isn't getting a car.

Hey mods, should we delete one of his posts after he hits 1000?

Eggs, good pretty much any way they're prepared, assuming they are prepared well. Anyone in the Montgomery/Berks/Lancaster County area in PA who's never been to Shady Maple for breakfast, you need to go. I like scrambled eggs, but never thought, "Wow, these are some damn good scrambled eggs!" until I had them there. Ketchup on scrambled eggs is fine. Ketchup on breakfast sausage is wrong. Use syrup, it's right there.

Ketchup on a cheesesteak is fine once in a blue moon. Fried onions with Cooper sharp is the gold standard, and for Christ's sake people, season your beef. If that means you have to actually ask for salt and pepper when you order from your regular spot, do it. Your welcome.

As mentioned, the roll is imperative for a good cheesesteak, or any sandwich (maybe even hot dogs?) for that matter. There is legend around here (might be true, I never looked into it) that conditions around Philly like altitude and water content, make for the perfect roll. True or not, it underscores the importance of a good roll. Last cheesesteak take, I love a good cheesesteak hoagie.

Yeah, a lot of hand tool purists are nutty about using hand tools only.

This guy does incredible work though:

That is far far too much work for a small box. Just use power tools. A table planet and router would have saved this guy at least 80% of his time.

I haven't watched his videos in a while, but I paid for his site at one point. Love his philosophy. He made a comment once about cheap disposable products and how we are cheapening our own lives, or something like that. Definitely resonated with me. And yes, he could save time, but that's not the goal.

Sellers has a video somewhere where he isn't teaching or making it obvious what he's doing, and all he did was pump out freehand dovetails as fast as he could. I'm pretty sure he's a Terminator that succeeded at it's mission and found a hobby to pass the time after. As fast as he is precise, didn't even need a ruler to nail every measurement. It's ridiculous stuff. I think machines would slow him down.

I have a round blanket that looks just like a pepperoni pizza. Pizza Blanket is my most prized possession. The child has stolen it and hidden it. I have no idea where the f*** it is. I've torn the house apart. She is constantly taunting me about how I can't have it. She said I have to wait 7 days. I asked what happens after 7 days, and she said then I have to wait 300 days.

The first time she did this I just asked if there's anywhere I shouldn't look, and she immediately accidentally told me where it was. She has adapted.

They remember.

Probably about to get automerged, but whatevs. He is a true master of his craft. The British accent pushes it to 11. Love that guy.

Have you had breakfast? Maybe some eggs?

Bagel and coffee. Lots of coffee

I mean I sort of get the whole Zelensky military attire look but he really looks like a caricature wearing that Champion sweat suit standing before Congress...
