Random Ponderings

Remove all ads!

Hello men, women, children, turnips, rougues, humanoids, odd people, dwarves, elves and anubody else (Hope that's better Nakia!!)

My head is filled with random ponderings (list below). What do you ponder?

Why do I use brackets so much (is it odd?)?
Why are carrots in the 2000's shorter than they were in the '80's?
How does the man who drives the snow plough get to work?
Is the dictionary spellt (?) right?
What if 1+1 DOESN'T EQUAL 2?
Are we all just pawns in some game somewhere (admittedly, that's from reading 'Homeward Bounders')?
Does anybody know all the rules to strip chess?
Are labour really part of a secret plot to undermine the country from within?
Can anybody do the funky chicken without looking stupid?

However, these things have been pondered by finer minds than mine. I need some new ponderings to ponder.

PS..Isn't 'ponder' such a great word?

 

The only thing I'm pondering right know is who let Silvery join SP?

 

Thanks a lot...you're so kind! Just let me gather my shattered confidence and then you chuck your bowling ball of sarcasm at it again!! HMMPH!

Also, is presenting kids TV an outreach job for mental health patients who won't take their meds?

 

Isn't RBP enough?

A vote was cast, lost, retaken, burned and buried, then retaken again. There was some driving around on bumber cars, gathering of the illuminati and so on. Allegiances were broken and new ones formed. It was a long process, you know.

 

Oh the abuse!!

 

Oh, very well. In order:

Not hugely. Possibly a sign of a tenuous grasp of the English language?
Because you are shopping at a different supermarket? 'Sides, if you were born in 1984, how would you really remember?
He either walk, keeps the plough at home or ensures the roads nearby are always well gritted.
Yes.
Logical impossibility. If you found it didn't equal 2, then your reasoning must be flawed.
Would it matter if we are?
There really is only 1 important one: at least one player must be stripped by the end of the game.
Probably not- that would hardly be in their best interests considering where they live.
I would imagine that Chuck Norris could.
I suppose it is.

Was that what you were looking for?

 

My dentist tells me I have a rather small mouth, byut how can I get both steel-toed size 12's in there when I try to talk to a pretty girl?

 

It's a common complaint when men try to chat women up.

I've had a few fellas open a conversation with me by saying 'dsjfwfiuew......um......erm......you look.....you've got........your chest is very (makes exspressive hand gesture)......'

 

Right.

I think that might answer at least for why Silvery was allowed to join BoM.

I have no objections.

 

Shall we move to the next item of business?

Why is that the UK calls thinly sliced fried potatoes "crisps" and julienne sliced potatoes "chips", while the USA calls thinly sliced fried potatoes "chips" and julienne sliced potatoes "fries"?

(BTW, South Africans do it best - we call everything "chips")

 

Because crisps are crispy and it's easier to say fish and chips than fish and crisps?

And since americanos don't eat fish and chips, they just like to call small chipped out pieces as chips and something you fry as fries?

And everyone knows that chips come from a factory, so you don't fry them. Not in America at least.

 

Objections to what Iku?

Not sure about the crisps but it's probably going to wake me up at 3am to ponder!

 

Why no objections at all for having you, here, as a member. What else could it be?

 

Oh God, I'm so confused now!

 

Thank you, Silvery, for trying to include everyone but I think you left out the Cat folk.

1) Why do Brits call crackers biscuits?
2) How did Hush Puppies get to be a gourmet food?
3) Is there an international union of road workers that has agreed that a job that should take 3 months to complete will take a minimum of 3 years.
4) I make frequent saves of my games but why does the game CTD when I forgot to save that important episode?
5) Why am I posting here? Oh, I know that one, I'm bored.
6) Is there really any absolute?
7) Why not have a separate thread for this subject. Just like a drop of water in the ocean it would get lost in RB.
8) Why do my cats want dry food when I put down moist and moist food when I put down dry and neither if I put down both?
9) Why do I always pick the line in the supermarket that has a problem and takes for ever?
10) Why does 1 + 1 always equal 2? Because that is the nomenclature established. Actually 1 stick and 1 stick equal 11 sticks. Check your Quesanar(sp?) rods and you'll see what I mean.

PS: Why was Silvery allowed to join SP? Because Tal missed having me around. No, he joined in 2005 so that can't be the reason. But it seems he(?) has only gotten active recently. Just snuck in, lurked around and then wham!

 

OY!! I'm a she!!

I used to be in the FAI a lot but was without internet for over a year

 

@Nakia:

1) Because to call crackers crackers would be nuts, and though they may contain them they might not
2) Aren't Hush Puppies sneakers? They snuck themselves into quisine?
3) Yes. My u.n.c.l.e. was a member.
4) Does what now?

6) Does it matter or not and how does antimatter concern absolute, if it has absolutely no difference at (the) all?

8) They can't decide. When they get only the other one they can decide that they don't want that.
9) Murphy's law or because you've been infected by a viral meme of getting meaning out of queuing?

 

In that case I'll forgive you for "guys" and accept it as a unisex word when you use.

So why aren't you back in FAI? I'm there a lot and we could ponder the meaning of nothingness.

 

Nakia, you didn't see where silvery said guys try to talk to her & mention her chest? Which also explains why iku said no objections to her being here.


Isn't FAI just for acct holders? if so that would explain why silvery isn't there now.

 

Now I'd have nothing against the said person, or the said area of that person even if she'd be a he. If a person's self-conscious about the chest area, I wouldn't rub it in, especially if it'd be a he we'd be talking about.
