Omg, I didn't think about that but now you've said it, I kind of want it to happen! "Albert... just one more rasher... please!" "I think you've had quite enough, sir..." Sweeney Bacon The Bacon Bride There's Something About Bacon Bacon: Pig In The City Bacon Stripes

This sounds like the plot development for an 80s style cheesy movie

Does anyone else find it utterly hilarious that some people complain about the odd comment on a (debate) forum being 'too long', when they've probably read books that are 100 times longer and possibly more in depth? (If they even do read). I get a bit pissed off at people complaining when they're just being lazy and most of the time the offending comment isn't even directed at them.
Sometimes you do need more than a couple of paragraphs to really get your point across.
(This is on another forum and didn't actually happen to me, but I did call the lazy idiot out on it).

I do appreciate what you're saying myself lol. I feel the same way often! But what I often think of to try to empathize or to consider if I should've written the post wiser, for me when I find long comments difficult to read, it's usually because the comment was one of the following three: not my interest; or heated/emotional/abrasive; or unpolished/unedited/unfocused.
If a book or article isn't relevant to my interests, I'm not going to read it either. If it's heated, I'm probably only going to read it if I myself am heated and it's ridiculing something I also dislike. which personally I don't do
and if it's unpolished, unedited, or unfocused, I'm not going to read the book or article for sure. so I recommend,
1) if I'm not willing to read through and edit it at least one pass, I'm going to delete it without posting. Sometimes this inspires me to write the same thing in three sentences in an efficient and clear way, and then I'm surprised and proud of my work lol!
2) if it's heated, I keep it short, and then pause for a minute and think about a way to add to my post also with a short message in a non-heated way. perhaps even remove the heat, if I can, which is only easy if I can find a way to say what I want to without heat.
3) if it's corner case interest, I "spoiler" the thread saying [long] and [disclaim my topic] as tags, so those interested know to read it and those uninterested in it or in {me as a friend}, can just skip it. For example, if I "spoiler"'d this post, I'd tag it [long] [advice on self-editing posts]
and for me it's a work in progress lol! it's difficult to not get upset by such rude criticisms. rarely do people offer constructive criticism in a fair manner, only ever are they rude, blunt, or irrelevant about their nagging. it's kind of funny kind of sad kind of frustrating.

The Wizard of Oz - at least, the part where Dorothy is being threatened by the witch because she won't give up the ruby slippers. Apparently I enjoyed the rest of the movie because I distinctly remember asking my mum to put it on, but I hid behind the sofa for bits of it because I couldn't handle it When I was still a teenager I saw an episode of the Outer Limits (I checked it out because my crush at the time liked it... big mistake!); the first, and only episode I happened to catch was about the sun going nova and I had nightmares about it, and similar events for years afterwards, which says a lot. While I'm admittedly fairly easy to scare, it rarely induces nightmares. Also, my brother loved this short film called 'The Plank' when we were kids. It was about rubbish collectors and I was always terrified I was about to watch one of the men get crushed to death in the back of the bin lorry, as he sat on the edge. It was supposed to be a comedy... Another one my brother liked was an animation based on one of the world wars - the only thing I remember about it, because it scared the ever living shit out of me, was the soldiers had gas masks, but the hose things on them wriggled about like worms. Combined with the goggles that made them look like their eyes had no pupils, and they were staring right at me, it was pretty traumatising (I also made the mistake once of covering my eyes and asking him to tell me when they'd disappeared... yeah, my bro was a bit of an asshole when we were kids )

I actually do understand your friend to a degree, but I also think looking for practical reasons to dump someone can be a sign that you're not truly invested in them anyway. Driving a few hours to see someone can actually cause a strain on the feelings you have for someone - amplifying any uncertainty, and obviously not everyone can deal with a long distance relationship, especially if they need/prefer to have face to face contact and all the trimmings to go with that. I didn't mind driving the 19 miles to my ex's house when I was with him last year, but everyone has a different 'threshold' I guess? One of my exes complained about having to drive about that same distance to come and see me a couple of times, and again when he was breaking up with me. I'm on the fence over the money part - I agree it can make things easier in practical terms, but I'm not sure it should be a deciding factor in whether or not to date someone. What if they lose their job or their hours get cut? Will you (general you) dump them even if you still really like them? As for the lack of relationships being just another day in the office, I'm definitely with you on that!

If you're ever having a bad day where everything's going wrong, just remember that Gordon Ramsey, the stickler for kitchen discipline, once set fire to a dish and threw it into a waste bin, still on fire, while being filmed for a TV show.

That feeling when you wanted to say something to your peeps on Arocalypse then forgot what it was...

Was kind of an annoying evening, since I found out too late that my self defence classes had been cancelled until further notice, since I've been the only student for over a month. I'd been really excited to go since yesterday, as it got cancelled last week as well. I just hope if they start up again with more students, I won't have lost my enthusiasm.

I agree. I've seen some of my colleagues moving from flat to flat and complaining about high rent (we all work in a nursing home) and just think... I couldn't keep moving and I'd probably always be suspicious the landlord was fleecing me somehow. I need to live somewhere knowing it's at least semi-permanent and where I don't have to deal with a landlord. Some of them are genuinely nice but if I get someone shitty, or who suddenly turns on me (as happened to one of my friends), there's no way I'd be able to deal with that. I suppose that's another fear - Having To Deal With People TM. For everything else, there's Google!

Yum, never tried that but I like a lot of Japanese foods Peanut butter and chocolate spread sandwiches

I'd rather be washed out to sea - I know when I'm dead I won't be aware or conscious of anything, but I still hate the idea of a (probable) stranger seeing me naked, never mind cutting me up sorry vultures, you're going hungry! WYR have a lifelong passion in something really obscure, or many random short-lived hobbies? (sorry this isn't a great one lol)

Got asked when I was going to get married for the first time in several years today.
So liberating to say probably never.
And to think "just watch me" when person who asked screwed her face up and shook her head at me.

Granted, you now have wings with a 6 foot span instead of arms and you get followed everywhere by curious ornithologists when you're on the ground. People throw birdseed at you as a joke and make jokes about pooping on things. Their nicknames for you are oh so imaginative (i.e. predictable and annoying). I wish I had a partner to practice martial arts with at home.

A cheeky and sarcastic pirate reneges on a promise made 13 years ago and kills the person he cheated to boot. Briefly gets reunited with dad, steals the heart of someone else's wife and drinks all the rum before chucking himself into the mouth of a massive sea creature with lots of teeth. (I might have remembered it wrong - it's been a while )

Aros and alcohol (poll)
Untamed Heart replied to Ace-TheTimelordsCompanion's topic in Aromantic Discussion
I'm practically teetotal - last time I had anything, it was a couple of shots last April. The time before that, probably around 2008? I drink so rarely I can basically remember what I had to drink at the time -
I liked Oh! My Goddess the anime a lot, also a big fan of Studio Ghibli especially Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Kiki's Delivery Service. Never really liked Princess Mononoke, though (apart from the massive wolves lol). My first manga was Pet Shop Of Horrors - my friend had bought the first volume. I happened to flick through it and got hooked lol. They never officially translated the last volumes of the sequel, AFAIK the anime (only 4 episodes based on the first volumes) was kind of unintentionally funny in places. Namely, Count D looking a bit like Michael Jackson. Sergeant Frog is another old favourite, really funny, though I never finished it. Got up to volume 15 (though I mysteriously skipped vol. 14 for some reason) Dramacon, about a girl who goes to an anime con with her friends over three years, with bust ups between main/secondary characters, and some genuinely bitchy/emotional/wtf moments. Also, Pokemon of course, but prefer the older series where Team Rocket were still basically the bumbling and incompetent clowns Jessie and James I just loved their dialogue. Battle Royale (though very gory I found it compelling. Never finished it) Sword Art Online (though I know Log Horizon is meant to be better - I haven't seen it though so can't compare lol).

Things you've never understood about romance
Untamed Heart replied to Sooty Owl's topic in Aromantic Discussion
I think it does, but even so, IMHO it's a sign of dysfunction in those relationships. I certainly can't imagine people with healthy relationships ending up doing it, at least not outside some kind of role play. I read a letter in the problem page of a newspaper once (my only reason for buying a certain newspaper when I was younger - so stupid it was even more entertaining than Jeremy Kyle sometimes ) from a woman saying she could only enjoy sex with her partner once they'd essentially beaten each other up (apparently it had escalated to the point where they were employing pots and pans from the kitchen and shit like that...) -

How To Train Your Bacon
-
Hmm, depends if I could find some idiot(s) to buy it off me and make at least some of my money back! 1 million dollars but you run the risk of waking up an old person (complete with common old-person sayings and afflictions) every morning for the next fortnight. If you're still your own age after 14 days you'll age normally for the rest of your life.

I'd rather nearly fall over in front of random people. Less chance of being awkward and pissing someone off at the same time. WYR be the villain in a hit movie and have a really short time on screen so nobody really remembers you, or the hero in a movie which turns into a massive flop at the box office? (sorry this isn't a very good one )
and if it's unpolished, unedited, or unfocused, I'm not going to read the book or article for sure. so I recommend,
Silly people.
