Random stupid things on your mind. Post them.

while reading ian mckellen's wikipedia page i got to the section on his personal life which largely talks about his gay relationships through the years.  immediately following the paragraph on those relationships is this sentence:

In the late 1980s, McKellen lost his appetite for meat except for fish, and so mostly excludes it from his diet.[35] He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006.

i had to read it twice.

Life, and Youtube, can take us in directions we never dreamed of.

I actually sat and watched this 1972 McDonald's employee training film in its entirety. I know, I know. Don't ask.  I'm now craving a double quarter pounder with cheese, large fries, and a chocolate shake.

At 3:07 of the film, the Hispanic worker sounds like she's saying "White guys. That's all we get in here are white guys."

FUNNY! McDonalds employee instructional video from 1972

Had a friend pass away a couple days ago from what appears to be a heart attack. She just turned 33. I hate how unpredictable life can be. Its pretty scary to think about.

She was so young.

So sorry to hear about this.

did she have some known health condition, or was it just out of the blue?

I know a guy who had one at about the same age as your friend a couple years back.  He actually ended up dying four times on the table, but they were able to bring him back.

I'm sorry for your loss.  That's not something you expect to happen at that age.

None that I knew of. She was a smoker though. Just turned 33 and left two small children. Pretty sad.

           It just struck me that Jack Kevorkian is dead, so it negates this joke a bit...but,

         I just heard that Jack Kevorkian is giving away memberships to Fantastic Forum.

           Do not wish a young woman a happy birthday and follow it up with "welcome to the 30 club"

        Especially when she's turning...27.

(Original HD Version) Cows Fall Out of Truck - MUST SEE!!

[Sardondi]

Wow. Looks like the white camper/trailer/RV came over into the cattle truck lane and the driver's side was hit. I don't know how, but looks like the driver was more likely to have been injured than the cattle. I hope the driver was okay. But it could have been a much nastier scene if cattle had ended up down in the road, crippled and struggling. Even with no cattle lamed, can you imagine two dozen cows wandering through those streets and parking lots?! Yikes!

My aunt married a man from The Bronx, New York, and when they came to Kansas to visit (he was also Jewish, a true mystery to us all) he was amazed to see cows in pastures, even. I was very young but I remember asking, "Haven't you ever seen cows?" and he said, "Well yes, in the zoo, but not...not all running around wild like this!"

We kids thought that was the funniest thing in the world. Wild cows.

Mostly cows just stand around and think about it. Pretty much they only move (to any significant degree) if there's a reason. Like, for instance, a cattle prod.

But you knew that.

[ziznak]

I love how the cows just kinda get up all slow like... "yep... looks like we're grazin here."

"Running around wild" - heh.

As far as knowing about cows, yeah, pretty much, having been raised in a beef cattle family. But what I didn't know about until I was in my mid-20's was that "city boys" were a lot more alert about some aspects of raising cattle than I was.

I was on a school's-out retreat and weekend camp out that a law-school classmate threw at his family's cattle farm out in the boonies. It was cookouts, campfires and beer, beer, beer, and thank goodness a lot of girls went too or no one would have stayed.

My friend arranged for attendees to be carried in several trucks and pickups out to the pastures where we were going to set up the tents. I was in a truck bed with some guys from New York City who I barely knew. They were just like Chewie's aunt's husband. As we drove out among scores of dairy cattle they had some of those "Look at the moo-cows!" moments. And then one of them asks my buddy, "Say, do you guys just let the cow manure stay where it plops?" I thought this was one of the most hilarious things I had ever heard, and was laughing my ass off. But then I noticed the other guys I knew to be heads were looking knowingly at each other. So later I asked one what the hell was the deal about the cow manure. And he says, "Psilocybin, man." Doh!

20-some years of being around and in manure and even having it on me, and until that moment I had never even considered what grew under the cow shit. So that's what the New York City boys taught me about cows.

i never had a problem with one thing jack kevorkian did.

[Jasmine]

The objective reality of impermanence is so liberating. That nothing lasts forever during the course of our lives, to shed one's skin, over and over again, provides for me a profound sense of hope.

[Eddie Coyle]

My beef with him is that he never franchised what he was doing. He should have been the Dave Thomas of assisted suicide.

well, there's always the mcdonald's franchise, which is close enough.

Yes, but that's slow death with indignity.

        Unless visiting the San Ysidro, CA McDonalds on July 18, 1984. That was pretty much instantaneous.

        Yes, but that's slow death with indignity.

Comcast We Care......
ok i have had to deal with this god forsaken company many times. They tell you they are always around when you need them. The people on the phone when you need second tier help. They Techs talk to you like you are a fucking retard. The price they quote you on the phone is never the same as what shows on your fucking bill. I recently had service with them. I had internet and cable. They cable always fucked up. What I mean is the line that is ran from the pole when the wind would blow would drop my signal. I would call them and say can you please send out one of your techs. They would come out and find nothing. I have had 6 times had a tech out to my house. All the times but ones was it for the fucking internet. My wife who has no idea how networks or modems work told comcast that it was the modem. Ok so after 6 times they show up at the house and say yeah its your modem. They claim they wear boot covers and respect your home. This fucker of a tech came out and tore my living room out and was rude to my wife my kids and told me to get my DOG My fucking 3 pound Chihuahua called it a mutt. Fuck you don't come into my house and talk to my family like that. One time he came out the tech stole my signal amp. I called Comcast and told them the tech stole my amp. He had to bring it back to my house. Anyhow I have had the worst experience with this shit of a company.
Fuck that company. I wish the company would give you what you pay for and offer a better product. This company needs to be evaluated again. Motherfuckers.

Tech support. One of my favorite subjects. I think sometimes they're growing idiot tech support people underground in those tunnels under Dulce.

I've dealt with such stupid people at Amazon, Lexmark, Bank of America and Comcast. And G*d help you if you don't have the account number or just want to ask a question.

Last week, I called Amazon and got this absolute idiot who kept asking me for my order number when * I* was asking about why I couldn't log in. He kept asking me for the order number over and over until I blew my stack and finally told him that I wasn't ordering anything but that their  --- ugga booga --- thing at the bottom of the page wasn't working and that I had forgotten my password. It took 25 minutes of aggravation to deal with this idiot.

Comcast kept billing me for a service that I didn't order and it took me 6 months and repeated calls to get them to issue me a credit and take it off my bill. The wiring in my building is so old that certain channels that used to work ( until Comcast moved the channels to another position on their listings ) don't any more & when it gets really rainy here the cable system goes out. When it gets really hot, the Weather Channel won't work & one night during a pouring downpour that encompassed the entire SF Bay Area, the ONLY channel that worked was the Weather Channel. What was really weird was that the Weather Channel was showing a live report from Marin with major rain and flooding and it was a downpour there, while I looked out my front door and saw it pouring outside too.

This year locally has been a really strange one. I actually opened the door one night and saw rain coming down this way :


| | | | |

While simultaneously seeing it coming down this way :

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

I have a box covering the outside of the air conditioner that had been securely taped to it in the winter for 9 years. This year the box got soaked for the first time.

It's been freezing here too with temperatures locally as low as 27. Friday the temperature here and in Las Vegas was 27 and the WC just showed a picture of a frozen fountain in Vegas. There's been a freeze warning for 2 days here and right now its 32. I feed multiple cats outside and I don't know how they keep warm though I have seen my cat sleeping inside a bush at times. I bring a couple of them inside when I can grab them and so they at least get one or two nights out of the cold. It's really weird when its warmer in Pittsburgh Pa than in the SF Bay Area. I originally come from Pittsburgh.

But this has been a weird year for weather. Tornadoes in the South for Christmas, fires in Australia, freezing in So Cal and here and 180,000 cows freezing to death in China because its so cold there !

And snow in Jerusalem ! 

Oy gevalt !

Extreme Weather: Deep Freeze Strikes West


People in this area aren't used to freezing cold and it set new records for lows on Friday.

Going back to bad customer service, Lexmark hires complete idiots.

I've bought several of their printers and the latest one is wireless.

It wouldn't work with my Emac but does work with my newest 2 year old Imac, but the first one I got was defective and I misplaced the return mailing label.

I called them up and kept having to ask for a label to be sent to me and the fool on the other end kept saying " sir, we can email you a label " over and over and I kept saying I had NO way to print it out. I finally asked him if he knew HOW to MAIL a letter, put a physical label in an envelope and MAIL it to me. It took me about 8 tries to get him to understand this difficult ( for him ) concept. Lexmark has their customer support in the Fillipines and it is really hard to understand them even though Filipinos have spoken English forever.

I've had pretty good service from the Comcast techs who've had to come into my apartment but the wiring is so old that they told me that when I get an HD tv set, I won't be able to get HD reception.

And I live 4 blocks from the main street here. About 6 times a year, particularly when it gets hot, the power goes out yet a block away everything is lit up.

One year I was sick with a massive sinus infection and the power went out and I HAD to make hot tea. I have an all electric kitchen so I'm screwed with no power. So I went out and made a pot of boiling water on my bbq outside. Some idiot actually called the cops because the bbq grill was starting to smoke. They showed up and harassed me about cooking hot water on my bbq at 1:30 am. I asked them if it was illegal, they said no, and I said then why don't you go and seek out some criminals instead of hassling someone who was sick. I hate electric stoves for that reason. I now have sterno as a backup.

And I actually have some dressers that are made out of real wood. There's no way to fix, glue, etc. broken particle board. I've tried.

Finally, I had to get a p o box because someone tried to break into all the mailboxes here and it took 1 phone call & one physical visit to the main post office to get them to forward my mail to the p o box. I had been assured the first time that it would get done and it didn't.

The problem with many of these people who work in customer support is that many of them don't care if they do a good job or not. They have scripts they have to work from and not only can't deviate from them, but in many cases, they don't know what to do if something isn't covered in  that script and they don't have the innate intelligence to take action if its something really unusual or problematical.

I don't deal with the customer service people at BofA any more for that reason and call the executive offices at the bank's HQ in North Carolina when I can't get their customer service drones to do anything. The same goes for A T & T. I bypass them and call Houston.
