The even randomer thread

[Sabel79]

Okay, random thing unconnected to a previously discussed kid's restaurant:

 

Whenever I sing, my dog (the one I got to keep, anyway) puts himself in his crate. I don't ever put him in there anymore. Now that he's by himself and I don't have to worry about my other dog (custody with the ex) messing with him he can do what he wants. I've tested this with loud music and tv, doesn't phase him. The second I start singing along, like a shot to the crate. It's weird. And has only been a thing since... the unpleasantness... I'm at a loss.

 

I mean, I don't want to scar the old boy, but sometimes I get drunk and listen to The Smiths at ill advised volumes... like now...

Oh Christ, every time I hear Morrissey sing, I want to lock myself in a cage too.

 

I'm with the dog on this one.

1. It's not just Morrisey.

 

2. Morrisey singing is an infinite amount better than Morrisey talking.

I’m guessing that Morrisey singing is an infinite amount better than Sabres79 singing. Poor little dog.

Oh, godamnit.

I do this thing where I sing an improvised song to my cat. Usually about him being like Forrest Gump or Rainman. He eventually joins in yeowling along. We’re actually quite good.

Thanks, guys.

 

Really ...

 

 

Morrissey is one of the most unique singers ever.  I love his voice and style.

big Boi from Outkast is criminally underrated

100 years ago today.  The event that defined Halifax.

In the aftermath, the tremendous outpouring of generosity from the people of Boston has lead to a century long friendship between the two cities.

 

That does not mean I have to like the dastardly Bruins, 'cos I don't.

The Halifax Explosion was a maritime disaster in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on the morning of 6 December 1917. SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship laden with high explosives, collided with the Norwegian vessel SS Imo in the Narrows, a strait connecting the upper Halifax Harbour to Bedford Basin. A fire on board the French ship ignited her cargo, causing a large explosion that devastated the Richmond district of Halifax. Approximately 2,000 people were killed by the blast, debris, fires or collapsed buildings, and an estimated 9,000 others were injured.[1] The blast was the largest man-made explosion before the development of nuclear weapons,[2] releasing the equivalent energy of roughly 2.9 kilotons of TNT (12,000 GJ).[

Jesus, that's the first time I've ever heard of that.

how. you live with me. the font of dark historical knowledge.

Stuff you Missed in History Class just re-released their old episode about it. Truly a worst case scenario come true. 

 

Pieces of the ships were hurled up to five miles away... the fact that the blast actually was so strong that it laid bare the waterway down to the dirt and created a massive wave upon the water rushing back in is just astounding. 

 

Many people were rubber necking the burning ships by windows and such- as a result, hundreds upon hundreds had severe eye injuries- the blast rendered many deaf as well. 

 

Surprisingly enough, many of the men aboard the ship laden with TNT lived- the second they knew a fire had begun, they hauled overboard and rowed/swam for shore and hid in the woods. 

 

Then the worst snowstorm in 20 some years hit. 

 

It's hard to imagine.

My company had it's Christmas party on Tuesday night in our ballroom. Gourmet food, bar, band, ya know. As is tradition at least 2 people were fired.

 

Who comes to their place of employment, gets loaded, makes an ass off themselves and then tries to clock in and work their shift?

 

I don't do the party unless I'm on shift or just getting off shift and then I just grab some food and bounce. I talk with my department, beverage and security. Ya know, the jaded ones :)

We had an employee try that but was headed off at the pass before he actually clocked in. Our Xmas party has been cancelled indefinitely, mostly for financial reasons. It was amazing how tanked people would get. They tried limiting drinks but it didn't matter, people pregamed and got drink tickets from an HR associate who handed them out on the DL. Some of the outfits the women would wear. Exposing 3/4 of your breast was the norm and conservative compared to some. Most looked like escorts, maybe some were. Sheesh.

Those outfits are the norm for work attire. Our beverage staff make the ice girls uniform look modest.

I'm glad I work for myself and not for a 'real' company.  The Christmas parties were horrible.

So, I just got out of a ladyboy cabaret in Phuket.... It was so boring i fell asleep twice (drunk of course)

 

 

But I'd probably take one or two home if I didn't know better, maybe even if I did.
