Random!

PastMember · July 27, 2007, 11:57:10 AM

I thought it'd be fun to have a thread where I (and anyone else who wants!) can share completely random tidbits that don't fit into other threads but don't, by themselves, deserve a whole thread. Random derailments welcome!

I'll start things off!

My car is missing a window. Has been for a while now. I have it covered with a trash bag held in place by duct tape. My sister recently asked me if I ever planned on getting it replaced. I told her, not really. Maybe one day, but I'm not in any hurry to spend hundreds of dollars (cause not only the glass is missing, but the frame and so on was messed up when it happened) to get it replaced.

Her response?

"But, Amanda! When the zombies come they'll be able to push right in and get you!"

:jg:

Heehee, crazy zombies. Something random for me isssss I'm going to see Simpsons tonight and I'm VERY excited.

I love it!

Yes. I told her that if the Rage Virus (from 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later) ever came to my town, I'd just resign myself to either being zombie food or becoming one, cause I simply can't run as fast as those zombies.

She said that she couldn't either but she wouldn't get caught anyway cause she'd just make sure to trip whoever was running with her and escape while the zombies were going after the easy prey on the ground.

:jg:

Another something random: Don't you hate how you feel hungry when you're bored... but you're not really hungry, you're just soul crushingly bored and you know that, but it doesn't make you feel less hungry.

I was relaxing and playing Runescape, but a storm crept in and I had to stop. It's gone now, though we're still under a storm watch, and I'm finishing coposts and forums before returning to game play.

In between, I was bored -- and hungry. Yep.

Another random bit: I occasionally go to a name generator to get ideas for character names. The other night nothing good was coming up, so I did a search for new name gens. I found one that I decided was a bit disturbing:

Yes, it's for a different type of names/characters than I needed, but still. . .

That is rather disturbing!

LOL I hate being bored b/c I end up eating! Grrr! that does NOT help the diet!

I love 28 days later! I didn't really like 28 weeks later, but the first one ROCKED. My hubby likes it too so I finally went out and bought a copy of it a few weeks ago. I love the Rage Virus. The whole concept of that cracks me up. And yes, I'd be clawing around, tripping people too!

Is that fake name generator thing real?? If it is, talk about FREAKY!!!

I read the FAQ on the site and it says that the info mostly is used for testing data entry programs and what not. Pretty much everything is random, but plausible. The credit card numbers use inactive combinations to prevent fraud.

huh...that's crayz.

Flavored Sun Chips are just nasty. The only kind I like are the plain ones. Unfortuantely, there were no plain ones to be had.

Avery · July 31, 2007, 03:35:09 PM

I like the plain ones too! Of course, that's because all the flavored ones have milk or whey or some other milk-derived product and I'm lactose intolerant and can only HAVE the plain ones. Fortunately, I love the taste.

Everytime I catch a cricket and toss it outside, two more come in somehow. Why do the crickets want in here so badly??? They're only going to starve to death! :crybaby:

Here's something I wanna know...

What the heck happened on July 2, 2007 that had 42 of us logged into the message boards all at once?

The log-ins don't just count actual members, but spiders as well. Around that time, other Pern sites, such as NKT, MoM, and Wolfegar's were also hit by massive amounts of spider traffic.
