'Brain Droppings' - Otherwise Known As General Discussion for 4/18/07

Question of the Day

What do you wear in the morning? House shoes, socks, or bare feet?

Bonus Question

What did you eat for breakfast?

As for me, I ate a bowl of oatmeal with a glass of milk while wearing both socks and slippers.

[fred]

I'm a bare feet guy
For breakfast I will have fetuses and gristle on a carbohydrate floater with a hash brown - aka the McDonalds Bacon Egg & Cheese Bagel Meal

Um-Um good! (Nice honesty in description of contents.)

[fred]

I should work for the surgeon general - someday I hope to be good enough to create the labels for canadian cigarette packs

[paper]

Bare feet. I have a pair of moccasins, but they're mostly for show.

Can't sleep with socks on either. At least not in the normal places. Doesn't matter how cold it is.

This morning I had two blueberry Eggo waffles. Dry. I either do that or cereal. The cereal is usually Special K Red Berry w/ no milk or Lucky Charms (also no milk). And I almost always have this (http://www.tropicana.com/TRP_ProductInformation/Detail.cfm?ProductID=57) version of Tropicana orange juice.

[fred]

no dairy at all?

[paper]

Doesn't agree with me. Sometimes I'll have yogurt or something.

I tried that chocolate soy milk recently and really enjoyed it. But I read conflicting reports on how healthy or not healthy soy milk is. If anybody can drop some knowledge on me, I'd be most grateful.

Trying to get back in shape. I could stand to lose 15 to 20 pounds. I think it's mostly stress. I want to start running when the weather gets better. Tried in the winter, only to collapse into the gutters with lungs filled with cold air.

[fred]

my kids were lactose intolerant when they were infants - they grew out of it by 18 months or so

[kwok_talk]

Bare feet and usually cereal (no milk) and either coffee or juice (whichever I'm feeling at the moment).

[mister-s]

Bare feet, whenever possible. Usually nothing but juice and vitimins for breakfast.

Although a drive through breakfast really hits the spot every now and then.

[kwok_talk]

I have a sweet spot for McDonald's breakfast and its greasy goodness.

My coworkers ere saying the other day that a bagel has more calories (or carbs?) than a krispy kreme. That seemed kind of odd.

[paper]

Bare feet and usually cereal (no milk) and either coffee or juice (whichever I'm feeling at the moment).

Dry cereal eaters unite!

I don't drink coffee though. I don't get it.

My indulgence breakfast of choice is the McDonald's hash brown. I miss the brown cardstock packet they used to come in. The paper ones always get attached to the food.

[kwok_talk]

Coffee was an acquired taste. And I have to dress it up so it doesn't taste like coffee (sugar & creme). That does seem kind of weird.

[paper]

This is as good a place as any to mention that I avoid caffeine where possible. Probably why I have the constitution of a three-toed sloth on an August afternoon.

It's in chocolate though. I eat that.

[fred]

I'm not into coffee unless it's like frappacino or a coffee coolatta - neither of which are really coffee

[fred]

I take in an absurd amount of caffeine

[paper]

All my friends are caffeine junkies too.

A while back I had half a can of Vanilla Pepsi or something like that, and I spent the next couple of hours shivering in the corner because my body didn't know what to do with all the caffeine. I'm not even joking. I was shaking like nothing else. I thought I was gonna die.

[iSteve]

I take in an absurd amount of caffeine

If you don't drink coffee, how do you get your absurd amounts of caffeine?

[alexg]

I'm a recent coffee convert...

For those of you who don't like coffee but want a good caff. kick, try chinese gunpowder tea. Shouldn't be too hard to find if you have access to a chinese grocery store. The tea is super cheap too. For $2 you get a box that will last quite a while.

[k33k3r]

There are many other ways to get caffeine other than coffee. Such as Gallons of Mountain Dew and many many other ways.

[kwok_talk]

Congrats to Chicago for getting the chance to get the Olympics!

For those wanting energy, I suggest hunting down the Silver Surfer and biting his head off. I heard that works.

[k33k3r]

Yeah that is really cool. It would be good to have the games back in the states again.

[iSteve]

Yeah that is really cool. It would be good to have the games back in the states again.

Chicago still has to compete against other international cities.

[kwok_talk]

Very true. I think Rio De Janero (sp) and Madrid are in the running.

[k33k3r]

Madrid is going to be hard to beat.

[paper]

Yes, but when will the winter olympics come to New Jersey? Because that's what I want to see on my HD tv.

You guys know I usually abhor any kind of sporting event, but the winter olmpics in HD...holy hell. I was glued to the TV.

[k33k3r]

Yes it was very very pretty. I did the same thing as you did. Wow look at how pretty that snow looks.

That's like a day's work. Esp with it being comic day. Almost there!

[k33k3r]

So the numbers will explode tonight and tomorrow.

[labor_days]

Oh man, I absolutely love coffee. To the point of obsession- freshly ground beans, elaborate coffee makers, exotic blends, all of it. Love.

[mister-s]

You know, my wife is as obsessive about coffee as you can get - but you know what her fave is? McDonalds. No joke.

I'd rather drink coke at 6 AM than coffee.

[iSteve]

McDonald's have the best fast-food coffee.

[kwok_talk]

Yeah, my dad loves McDonald’s coffee. I’ve heard others swear by Dunkin Donuts coffee. The store brands (including Starbucks) are too acidic for my stomach. I get mine from a local mom & pop shop up the street.

[fred]

I drink soda 24 hours a day. I sleep with a glass next to me.

[alexg]

I gotta agree on the McDonald's coffee...I was surprised to discover the kick it has.

[k33k3r]

Dunkin Donuts coffee is amazing!
I don't trust anything from McDonald's. God only knows what there coffee is made from.

[fred]

snips and snails and puppy dog tails

[k33k3r]

aw sweet got to get me some of that. I have a feeling it's much worse than that.

[fred]

red worms

[iSteve]

It is amazing. Good stuff.

[k33k3r]

I actually cut all fast food from my diet. Trying to drop weigh classes and I just didn't realize how crappy fast food makes you feel. I noticed a change with two weeks and that was only when I was eating it no more than twice a week if at all.

[fred]

I think they call that an employment killer

probably not in the world comics or strip club bouncering but everywhere else

[k33k3r]

That's what long sleeve shirts and pants are for my friend.

[labor_days]

Nah, I can't drink McDonalds coffee. It always tastes burnt to my palette.

Grinding your own own beans and such is the only way to go; Kenyan, Jamaican and Kalossi beans are some of my favorites. So delicious, mmm.

[iSteve]

Well, I'm off to an early lunch with a friend where I plan to have an oyster sandwich (freshly caught from the Chesapeake Bay). Then I'm going to pick up my comics for the week - the whole huge stack of them. My wallet hurts already.

[kwok_talk]

That’s my reason for not getting a tat. And it’s soooo not b/c I’m a wuss and don’t want to experience the pain of it.

[fred]

good tidings to you sir

[kwok_talk]

Oyster sandwich. Sounds good, I think.

[fred]

That's what long sleeve shirts and pants are for my friend.

They don't cover your hands

I have a tattoo. I'd have more but I'm someone's dad and 1 feels odd enough

[iSteve]

Oyster sandwich. Sounds good, I think.

Trust me. It's delicious.

[fred]

That’s my reason for not getting a tat. And it’s soooo not b/c I’m a wuss and don’t want to experience the pain of it.

Mine is on my leg and I found it only hurt when they hit the bone coming around my shin

[kwok_talk]

Isn’t “Bring your kids to the tattoo parlor” day next week?

[labor_days]

Oh, I can't wait to head out to the shop this afternoon. Haven't been this excited to pick up my books in forever it seems. With the wealth of quality books coming out this week, it's an embarrassment of riches.

[fred]

it isn't in my house. I don't even really wear shorts anymore. I live 2 or 3 distinct lives

[labor_days]

Forgive me for interrupting the discussion; but is that a Gorilla Biscuits avatar, Fred?

F-ing awesome dude. One of the best hardcore bands ever~!

[alexg]

Am I the only one that thinks "Oyster Sandwich" sounds like one of those "Terms that sound dirty, but arent"...like "Pulling on Abe Lincoln's beard"

[fred]

Forgive me for interrupting the discussion; but is that a Gorilla Biscuits avatar, Fred?

F-ing awesome dude. One of the best hardcore bands ever~!

yeah. they're the best
love that shit

[fred]

I was thinking the same thing. I erased 3 potential posts that had the word donkeypunch in them

[horatio616]

Good Lord, I look up and I see the word "donkeypunch". What next, "pink sock"?

Anyway, if you want to know what it's like in John Mayer and Jessica Simpson's private life, go here:

http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/#mea=91905

[fred]

that happened to my mom's cat - I suggessted she put a lock on the outside of my brother's bedroom door - she did not think it was funny

spoilsport

[horatio616]

It is amazing. Good stuff.

I'll second that emotion.

McDonald's coffee is surprisingly good, and, in a town like mine bereft of coffee shops, it's a godsend.

[labor_days]

It's old hat at this point but I really dislike the Simpson sisters (Jessica/Ashley). Ugh. And they're dad is creepy.

[fred]

yeah, she's terrible

http://www.uned5.co.uk/images/Jessica-Simpson-480-a.jpg

[horatio616]

It's old hat at this point but I really dislike the Simpson sisters (Jessica/Ashley). Ugh. And they're dad is creepy.

Well, considering their peers, Hilton, Lohan, Spears, I kinda root for them. Hillary Duff, too.

Their dad is mondo creepo, though.

[horatio616]

yeah, she's terrible


This brings up a very important discussion. How much has Ashley's nose job closed the gap between the two sisters in the hotness scale? Gap has narrowed greatly, I believe.

[alexg]

I think Bethany Black is hotter than any of them...

oh wait...she's not real...oh well.

[kwok_talk]

Hm. Suspected that something was different, but couldn’t figure out why. Yeah, I don’t know about closing the gap. I think she should’ve stayed with black or brunette hair just to not look like a mini-jessica.

[paper]

I always thought Ashlee was hot. In a very unconventional way. And I know that that means there's something wrong with me.

Whatever.

[kwok_talk]

I think Bethany Black is hotter than any of them...

Honestly, I don't even find her attractive. That sort of All-American blonde never did it for me. Jessica's vapidity and vileness don't sway me no matter how short her pants are. Nope.

Hilton, Lohan, Spears, I kinda root for them. Hillary Duff, too.
Also vile and off-putting celebrities. I'd rather not root for any of them.

Yeah, caffeine in most green teas--except if you get the real loose leaf tea and drink that, the health benefits far outweigh the negative effects of caffeine.

Look for "Dragon Well" green tea...won't get you all buzzed and flipped out and is really tasty

[acomicbookgirl]

I was thinking the same thing. I erased 3 potential posts that had the word donkeypunch in them



There are times I wish there was a smiley of a donkey on ocassion.. ;)

[paper]

When did vapid become such a bad thing?

Oh come on people could do much worse than donkeypunch and pink sock.

I thought the same about oyster sandwich. went to the urban dictionary and there was no listing. *shrugs*

Oh as could I and neither will I. I was just saying that, that was not the worst that could be done.

[labor_days]

When did vapid become such a bad thing?
When people like Paris Hilton became increasingly overexposed (literally (http://www.celebskin.net/videos/paris-hilton-sex-tape.jpg) & figuratively (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/133/403154534_f5ebaead90_o.jpg)) celebrities simply for being wealthy, coked out, liquored up "party girls". Yeah, around then.

[acomicbookgirl]

I'm off for now.. Errands, LCS and then back to work.. :( See ya later! :)

I have three tats. One on each leg and one on my back centered between my shoulder blades. I have plans for many more.

You are correct about your hand. In this guys case though he's an artists so it could be understandable.

Hmm. Seems like you got some work to do then.

My dedication to the cause shouldn't be in question

[labor_days]

I never doubted your resolve. Merely giving you something tangible to work from.

[paper]

I was kidding, man. There's always been vapid people roaming the country side. And they've gotten by on shallow merits. And it's sucked.

It's just life. Relax.

Geekdrome? Oh, you mean those crumbs covered in our dust about a thousand miles back?

[k33k3r]

I don't think anyone doubted that you would be able to carry the rest of us past that point.

Actually, I'm a pagan. So I'll be bribing an oarsmen to ferry me across the river Styx (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/12/Styx_-_Styx_II.jpg) while you all are roasting in a Juedo-Christian hell. Suckers.

(Hope I bring enough money with me.)

[fred]

I try to stay as far from Styx as possible in any form

[itsbecca]

Back to business.

I had a mexican omelette this morning. I've been between jobs for 2 and a half weeks now and have realized that when I have the time I actually kind of like cooking. But the vacation ends Monday. Tragic.

Not long ago I used a recipe to make grilled cheese. Is that tragic or pathetic?

[k33k3r]

I heard the ferryman charges a flat fee. Are you also the group that your soul has to weigh less than a feather? If so I'd be more worried about bribing the guy operating the scale.

[itsbecca]

I read on my george foreman manual that you can cook grilled cheese on there... but they always end up about as thick as a slice of paper. Someone explain to me the process please.

Footwear around the house- Bare feet

Breakfast- Only the best way to start your day, black coffee and a Marlboro red (yes I know at 30, I have like 5 years left before I have a massive coronary due to my health habits)

not a big fan of breakfast if for some reason i am hungry i stop at sonic and get a cheeseburger

[horatio616]

I read on my george foreman manual that you can cook grilled cheese on there... but they always end up about as thick as a slice of paper. Someone explain to me the process please.

Well there are two keys to the process:

1. Use shredded cheese which melts faster.

2. Use two round pans. One you use for cooking, and the other you use to press down on the bread, which flattens and browns it more evenly.

If you like them crisper and thicker you can always bake them in the oven.

You've just blown my mind!

Now that I've discovered I can put up with cooking I'm trying to branch out. I have a pretty good knack for what things taste good together, but I have no sensibilities about the basics of cooking. I think expirement is key. Expirementing and the internet.

post magic number is 322 now

[labor_days]

I've been between jobs for 2 and a half weeks now and have realized that when I have the time I actually kind of like cooking.
I loved/hated being unemployed. It was great walking around my apartment in a bathrobe and footies all day. The lack of money, not so great.

On the other hand I love to cook. My grandmother, mother and two aunts were/are professional chefs. I even considered taking up the vocation. Working in a professional kitchen is so damn physically/mentally draining though. Still, sometimes I wonder if I made the right career decision. Ce es la vie.

I try to stay as far from Styx as possible in any form
The music playing while you wait for your table in eternal damnation? Styx's "Lady".

Hellish indeed. I'll take my chances with the ferryman and scale operator. Thanks.

On a completely unrelated note...Anyone know a 20-something virgin living LA who wants to be on TV? Seriously, the producers for this show are running around like head-less chickens looking for people. I swear to God it's easier to find an Amish dude with electricit y.

it's a new show called: Sacrificed In a Volcano

Just got back from a long lunch. Tragically, they were out of the oyster po'boy sandwich. So I had to settle for a Jamaican jerk burger instead. It wasn't nearly as good as the oyster po'boy would have been.

As for my books, I ended up with a total of 23 for the week, setting me back $65. Fred, I want you to know that I picked up Cable & Deadpool on your recommendation. It better be good! :D

[iSteve]

So, if I read the previous posts correctly, we are within 300 and some change of passing Geekdrome to become the #1 forum.

"Jerk Burger" That's another one of those faux-dirty terms!

"Windsurfing on Mount Baldly"

[labor_days]

As for my books, I ended up with a total of 23 for the week, setting me back $65.
I walked out with 17 books in all. Left some for pick up next week, some were not yet in stock. Saving them for after work. This is gonna be good...

[iSteve]

"Jerk Burger" That's another one of those faux-dirty terms!

"Windsurfing on Mount Baldly"

The Jerk Burger did not come with special sauce.

[alexg]

14 books plus Vol. 1 of the Peter David "Visionaries" trade...all that Hulk talk this morning got in my brain

[labor_days]

I was going to pick up the Batman & Mad Monk trade. Anyone else interested in that?

Bad purchase perhaps?

[lindseyd]

The Jerk Burger did not come with special sauce.

As someone who works in fast food to pay tuition bills, I just want to mention that "awesome sauce" is our trade euphemism.

[iSteve]

Not bad, just not great.

[labor_days]

Well, I'll hold off on a purchase then. Probably try to get it on the cheap.

[iSteve]

I've got a dilemma. I'm 50 posts shy of breaking 2,000. I'd really like to do it today - the same day we finally past Geekdrome. But I have 23 books to read. What do I do?

Only 47 more for me personally.

agree or make lots of small off the top of your head post saving the thinking for later

Why didn't I think of this earlier? I'll just post about post numbers. We'll be there in no time!

[fred]

Why didn't I think of this earlier? I'll just post about post numbers. We'll be there in no time!

4 8 15 16 23 42

those ones?

[iSteve]

Now I'm just post-whoring.

[iSteve]

But then again, what could possibly be whorish about posting?

[comhcinc]

keep it up

[fred]

post post post
all day long
post post post
while I sing this song

gonna post this shit
gonna make it shine
gonna post more than Geekdrome
in no time

[iSteve]

Does being a post whore lie in the intent or the act itself? I post therefore I am a whore???

[iSteve]

Well, Fred, only 220 now.

Make that 219.

[fred]

I think it's only post-whoring if you're being paid to have sex while you do it

SO, unless I misunderstand your present situation entirely, you're safe

[horatio616]

On a completely unrelated note...Anyone know a 20-something virgin living LA who wants to be on TV? Seriously, the producers for this show are running around like head-less chickens looking for people. I swear to God it's easier to find an Amish dude with electricit y.

I'm sure they could just go to the local comic shops and round up a few. Or maybe they could wait until the next Idol auditions...

[fred]

by my own rules, I am a post whore

[iSteve]

I'm going to take a break from my obvious post-whorishness to actually read a book.

[fred]

enjoy your reading

[kwok_talk]

I’ll contribute to the posts while iSteve is reading. It’s a really sunny day outside. I can’t wait to leave work and read comic books inside…:confused:

[fred]

now that's just whorey kwok

BTW, 209

[horatio616]

by my own rules, I am a post whore

"Post Whore" aka Revisionist Whore or Deconstructed Whore

That sounds like either a Garth Ennis book or a term coined by Grant Morrison.

[fred]

I would read that book

[horatio616]

I would read that book

Rest assured some religion or otherwise treasured institution would be poorly portrayed and either rape or be raped.

At the Bodyworlds exhibit, they had lungs from cigarette smokers. Crazy black and gross looking.

[darron]

What the hell show do you need them for?

I believe it's going to be called American Virgin, but I'm not 100% sure.



And this (http://www.break.com/index/very_useful_talent.html) video made me laugh hysterically. There is no shame in my game. (I wouldn't say it's 100% work safe, but it's nothing crazy)

[fred]

I know. I've seen them firsthand. I was in your fair country a few years ago. I had to pay $10/pack for cigarettes with diseased tissue and shit on them. nasty stuff really

[iSteve]

Thanks MastaP and Labor_Days. I like Cassaday's work, but I have a personal aversion to westerns, purely my own damage. Growing up, liking westerns was right up there with all the other mainstream stuff one was "supposed" to like and glutted TV, I got turned off. I like my pulp characters in 30's and 40's settings, l'm in love with Art Deco, popular design and culture of the time, and I love old, old cars. I cracked open Batman: Dark Victory to flip through (no time to read it yet) and had a fangasm at the picture of the Joker in a big hat and trenchcoat riding the running board of an old car shooting a tommy gun. That's my thing. Love the mask, prefer the fedora to the cowboy hat, just personal preference.

Here is a little known fact, maybe: The guy who created the Lone Ranger created the Green Hornet. He even made one the descendent of the other, Britt Reed/Green Hornet's money coming from the Lone Ranger's silver mine.

When they do the Green Hornet again and get it right, I'm all over it. The CW thing is funny -- The Green Hornet and the Lone Ranger never gave a hoot about the government or their public reputation. In fact, the Green Hornet traded on his public reputation as a criminal and used it to his advantage in the old radio show. Vigilante possibly running afoul of the law (anybody remember Spider-Man?) was just a given and standard grist for the mill, and made for interesting stories. The Shadow also.

What did the public think of it? Didn't care, Batman survives as the perhaps the last character that embodies this. Winter Soldier is all about this too. CW, registration, who gives a hoot? Just get in and get it done.

OK, I'm going to bed now, just after I hear Edith and Archie Bunker sing "Those were the days..."

[iSteve]

Dr. Wally, it's great to have you back. You, sir, were missed. Not the same forum at all without your presence.

Yeah, I passed on WWIII-figured it wouldn't make much sense without having read 52--sorry to hear it isn't better.

JLA was true to form in that I sat there thinking'--wait--who--wait, where did he come from--am I supposed to know that guy?
