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

[VladDrag]

If anyone is into board games, Barnes & Noble is a flat 50% off on everything for some strange reason. This is literally the best board game sale ever.

I bought 18 games today for $432 with tax. Amazon value is 800+ before tax. These aren't filler games either. I picked up Spirit Island, Ark Nova, and Dune among others.

They got Cones of Dunshire?

I can't wait until she wants to be a Flyers fan.

She seems too smart for that.

So, I was carrying a dried Carolina Reaper in my laptop bag for months (in a small zip-lock bag, of course), because I promised to give it to a friend of mine, but our meeting had to be postponed and then I just forgot about the pepper being there, in a reallly small side-pocket. Today, while looking for my earphones, I found it.

Good: Pepper was 95% rubbed into powder. It's been a long while and I've been using that bag 3-4 times a week. Good, because the spiciest peppers are nice to use in such ''format'', there's very few psychos that eat them whole.

Bad: the zip-lock, over the time (apparently, because I checked it initially) developed a small hole.

Upon further inspection, laptop bag side compartment is covered w Carolina Reaper dust. I realized only now, because I don't use that side-pocket much.

[Bad#2: I still didn't find my fecking earphones]

Edit: I seem to have rubbed Carolina Reaper powder in my nose, pls send help.

That pocket is finished. It belongs to the reaper now.

So does her nose, apparently.

This reminds me.

My mother in law got me a "moonshine hot sauce." It's f***ing clear. The bottle looks like a half pint of the cheapest vodka. At first that's what I thought it was, and I don't like what it says that I was still totally thrilled with it.

Anyway, putting it on foods feels like your pouring vodka on whatever you're eating.

The wife's grandmother passed peacefully ay 4:07 am this morning thus ending a real crappy 5 months. August we both got covid. Sept my mom's oxygen level started deteriorating and her Nan was diagnosed with breast cancer. Oct was many trips to Dr's to try and see what was going on. Nov my mom admitted to hospital and passes on 27th. Dec her Nan admitted to hospital and passes Dec 28th. f***ing stressful time. Wife has not worked since mid Nov given she is an OR nurse and certainly isn't in the headspace to be doing operations.

And looking forward, she still has 3 grandparents all in their 90's alive and my grandfather is 88. Can we get a little break here to recoup a bit?

Appreciate you all for letting me share and for sending well wishes and DM's. Hopefully I won't have to post anymore of these types in awhile. Rather post about the trash Flyers.

Condolences man. Hoping you and your family get a long reprieve from these losses.

It's clear, and in a bottle. It looks like vodka. Why are you not just drinking it?

Because it’s not soy sauce

That is the first thing I did. Gotta test it

Hell of a car ride home tonight.

(The Child has been telling us of a reading app on her iPad at school)

Child: Daddy, pretend you don't know that I'm on level 3.
Me: Wow, you aren't on level 3?
Child: Mommy, pretend you and everyone knows I'm on Level 3!
Beefette: Wow, you don't know she's on level 3? Foolish.
Child: (cackles) Yes keep fighting! Fight more!
Me: oh my god she's trying to turn us on each other, she's dividing and conquering.
Child: Yes! (more cackling)

----Later, after a period of silence----

Child: How do babies get out of the mommies?
Me, Muttering: Holy f***ing shit.
Beefette: You're too young. I'll tell you when you're ten.
Child: Not ten! I need to know now! I'm all out of waiting! I don't wanna be a kid anymore!
Beefette: (pause to think)
Beefette: Ok, there are two ways. One way is that the doctor cuts open the belly and takes the baby out. The other way is that it comes out of your "bottom."
Child: (processes)
Child: (Sobs) I don't wanna have any more birthdays! I wanna stay five forever! I'm scared!
Beefette: Well. This reminds me that I meant to ask her pediatrician about therapy for her adult-level anxiety.



My need to drink went from 0-100 the second she asked that.

Lil Swami did not want to hear about her imminent change into a young lady. Refused to talk to mom. So mom signed her up for a class targeted to 11 year old girls, and designed to gently explain the future. When they returned, I asked how the class went. Her response, "That was disgusting!"

I made a Captain Lou Albano reference at work the other day. The one older guy got a nice chuckle out of it.

Good shit. Curious, by one older guy, did you mean older than you? Or the only guy there your age?

He’s like in his 60’s. I’m 31. He was surprised I even knew who Captain Lou was.
