Just forget I said anything. I'll be sneaking out inconspicuously now.

Curiosity: officially piqued.

With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious

An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial

Welcome to the non-sequitur thread, where logical derivations have no place and your skills of deduction are USELESS!
On that note, today I roasted a turkey. I consider this my official entry into adulthood. Any food that weighs more than 10 pounds is SERIOUS BUSINESS.
-
I roasted a turkey two weeks ago and I'm gonna do another in two weeks.
-
Pronunciation Very Serious Business!
Which reminds me, Mr. Miyagi died and I only just heard about it. What the hell man?
EDITED to minimize repition.

I once saw pictures of the inside of Denny Crum's colon- I was working at a gastroenterology associates office, and had been sent into the stacks (inactive files, kept in an entirely different office, with no supervision) to purge the really inactive ones. Mr. Crum's came up. I really wanted to steal the pictures, but I was a good little drone and threw them in the bag to get shredded.
Later, it turned out that my boss had misread the state medical requirements; we're supposed to hang on to records for FIVE years after the last visit, not just three! Ooooops!

Am I the only person who actually forgets which fora I mod?

So do I, except when I accidentally hit "edit" instead of "quote" on someone else's post and and relieved when I realize it in time not to do any damage.
Hmm, don't we moderate the same ones, now that I think of it? Geez, all hell must be breaking loose somewhere.
Edit: Oh, just one of the same. Well, how much trouble can people make with "Sport, Food, Drink, Sex, Games, and Leisure"?

Here's my Denny Crum story:
In 1988, on the first day of law school, me and three other guys go to the Taco Bell by campus for lunch between classes. Who should walk in but Denny and three players and sit down at the table next to us.
Similar story -- about 18 months ago I was in my favorite hole in the wall Chinese buffet in Frankfort. I'm standing in line to pay my bill when someone walks in behind me. I turn around and it's Joe B. Hall. I shook his hand and told him to make sure to try the Hot and Sour soup because it's legendary.

Obligatory non-sequitur:
Hebrew National hot dogs are the platonic ideal of hot dogs.
-
Dude, that's because Hebrew National answers to a higher power. It's right on the wrappers.
-
Those Heeb dogs don't even have natural casings!
Hot dogs suck without natural casings, dogg.
Once you have real casing deli all-beef dogs, fried so they're crispy on the outside, you'll never go back to boiled fake casing mutants.
-
I can agree with this in principle, because I have had natural casing sausage (http://www.conecuhsausage.com/our_products.php) before and the difference is stunning. The problem is that if I have to ask for natural casing hot dogs, I have to think about natural casing, and where it was and where I'm going to put it. So I don't.
I buy Nathan's, but having never had Hebrew Nationals I can't make a comparison.
-
like hot dogs?
work 3rd shift at a sausage factory!
the plant i worked at had "hatches" in the middle of the floor that
the sweepings got swept into.
one would assume some sort of a "vat" "apparatus" beneath those hatches.
one would assume those "vats" would have to be "emptied",
periodically.
one would assume that when something is "emptied" it is not "magical"
and that "matter" must be "transported".
one assumes that "transportation" costs "money" and that "business" "makes" money.
of course, since the plant is "clean" i would "Assume" that everything in the "vat" is of course "clean".
i also "Assume" that dry pet food is "better" than "canned" pet "food".
i also prefer Brats to Hot Dogs, for they are superior.
-
Oh, come on - the unnatural plastic casings are far grosser. At least the natural casings are made of FOOD. The regular dogs use a food-safe plastic wrapping which you eat and then poop out. How is that better?

because pooping is good, my friend.
pooping is good.
-
Oh, dude, don't I know it.
-
one would assume that when something is "emptied" it is not "magical"
and that "matter" must be "transported".
Thus when the "matter" or more commonly, "that thing" is "transported" then another person can get "that thing" that you "sent them."
Damn you Adult Swim!

um, i don't know what you are talking about.
i was trying to say that when i was being paid to clean at the sausage plant,
everything that got hosed off the machines and then swept off the floor got dumped into vats under the floor that supposedly got made into dog food and etc.

You use of quotation marks around matter and transported made you sound a lot like a character on Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law. His catch phrase is "did you get that thing I sent you" and they recently did a training video episode where he uses lots of air quotes and phrasing very similar to the sentence above.
-
ha HA... sausage plant.
VooooKAT!
(What is that noise anyway when the Birdman logo flies in and out.. that thing is crazy as hell.. I'm always like OOOOOOH SHIIIIIT)

I love Brak. I looooooove Brak.

Non-sequitur:
The most important theatre in Canada for the development of new plays informed me on Sunday that they have selected my play for development. This is the absolute best possible thing that could ever happen for a new playwright in my country. It means that my work will get National and possibly International production. It is basically a major, major deal - a life changing, income bracket changing thing, and the few theatre people I've told are totally shocked and amazed to the point where they ask me to repeat myself to be sure they've heard me right. I did the "like-I've-just-won-Publisher's-Clearing-house" hopping up and down and screaming thing in my living room when the woman from the theatre called me. This is big. "Big," big.
I'm so excited that I get that tumbling feeling in my belly everytime I think about it. wheeee!

Congratulations! This is wonderful news. Keep us informed, won't you?
-
Congratulations! Be sure to give us all tickets when you're a huge theatre celeb, OK?
Or at least give us directions to the theatre - I don't think I know how to get to Winnipeg.
-
Awesome Occurences
Who's getting made?
-
Wow! I was going to close this thread, but I'm going to leave it open so everyone has a chance nice things. Congratulations Melanie!

Ha! For clairity's sake, the theatre that is taking my play on is not in stinky old Winnipeg, no - not the sticks at all, but in great big Toronto. It's the big time baby! Fuck you Winnipeg! (I kid, really - it will come full circle for me if I can have my play professionally produced here in the my home town, especially since the play is set here in the 'Peg, but soon my eyes will be all starry with the big city lights!) I'll be doing lines of coke and blowing producers! Yipeee! Oh wait, am I already jaded? WTF? Anyway... Good times!
Thank you all for your kind words. I haven't been telling many people because I'm still sort of in denial that it's happened, and don't know how to humble-ly work in the fact that things are rocking for me into day-to-day conversation. "Oh, that's too bad about your puppy. Hey, by the way, did you know that I rawk? That's "arr" "ehh" "double-you" "kay." "Rawk." I rawk, motherfucker!"
-
Wow, way to go, man! That's really awesome, and I'll bet this is just the start. You can finally build that lake house! And run around naked all day! Ha HA! Dangly parts...
-
Aw, soon you'll be all famous and go away forever, like JL and Pedro did. *sniff*
-
Excellent, excellent, most excellent! Brak is really cool.
Oh and your play thing is great too.
-
You got to see her Plaything?
I bet it is cool.
-

s_s, don't forget about the little people when you're loaded. Or looking for actors.
Also, I've created a monster re: Harvey. Deedle-eedle-ey
-
Congratulations, Smells. Tronna is a good city and the peeps there would do well to watch your play.
I was going to write something more inspiring there but I'm kinda outta juice tonight.
-
Many congrats to you Miss Side_Show. That is all... *bleep*
ha HA... plaything.
-
Congratulations Melanie!!! I guess we'll finally get to see a picture of you when you appear on the cover of Variety.

Congrats!

You think she's gonna send you a personal reminder? Man, between meetings with Spielberg and interviews with Oprah and shit she ain't want to be wasting her time with the likes of us anymore. They say it's lonely at the top Mel, don't forget about the people who loved you when you were only a poor urchin without a home wandering the streets and sleeping in a hobo grotto. Don't forget about us Side Show.
