The CHAOS thread...

[Circle Orange]

This is a place to post disorganized, unfocused, and yes, drunken rants. Segments of thoughts are allowed, along with pointless topics no one normally cares about. Ever have those days when you wanted to post something, but just couldn't get it together? Well, this thread's for you! Have an imcomplete thought? A topic with no real point? Go for it here. Or perhaps you have an idea and don't know how to finish it? Don't worry, it has a home in the CHAOS thread. Sane discussions are not allowed. Illogic must rule the day. Pick a topic, or none at all. Just start punching the keyboard and see what happens.

Now what was I saying?

[Crushaholic]

Very nice. You gave Mock his own thread...

[Old Dude]

We already have a thread like this. It's called the War and Politics Forum.



















How's that for a start?

[Circle Orange]

, that works...but only if you think in fragments. And argue for the sake of arguing, not caring who 'wins' or 'loses'.

So is Beezer real or imagined?

My mind wanders, and the brain follows closely behind. Has anyone considered the fact that people's feet are getting larger? The average foot size since 1910 has expanded about 2 sizes. Of course, that doesn't include the european metric way of measuring feet, so its hard to be precise. It could be steroids, or maybe people weigh more. If there's a scientific study on this out there, I'll have to GOOGLE it.

Damn, my kids are going to be freaks then! I am 5'11" and I wear a size 13!

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Feet will be webbed soon so that we can adapt to a world covered in water due to global warming (sorry, I just looked at the war and politics board)

I've heard that!

Is it better to be a tool of the military industrial complex? I'd like to know, especially since I don't know what that means.

And yes, all lurkers are tools of the military industrial complex. Whatever that is.

Okay. Let's say you have a great big fat bomb in your basement, and it's just ticking and ticking away, and you know that it's going to go off someday, but you don't know how big the explosion is going to be.

You have a hard time sleeping. You have a hard time concentrating on your favorite TV shows.

The bomb has a big red button that says, whatever you do, don't push this button. You get out your owner's manual and you read it all the way through, and it says that pushing the friggin' button will reduce whatever time the bomb was set for by 99.9%. So instead of going of in 1000 days, it will go off in one.

ooookay. So you talk to the neighbors and your old football coach and the weird dog who lives next door and they all tell you to just leave it alone.

And you think that's a good idea, but then you go out and drink too much coffee that evening and come home and say, "how bad could it be?" and push the button.

How many of you would feel bad about that?

If the bomb turns me grossly fat, i would regret it horribly.

If it just blows up my neighborhood - ce la vie. I mean 1000 or 1 day, what's the big difference.

[Old Dude]

I don't know. It bothers me that I just sped up the bomb, but it could still take decades to go boom. Am I really any better off?

It wouldn't take decades - 365/1000

Well you'd have less stressful anticipation.

Does it make a TICKING sound?

Hope it doesn't hurt the talking dog

[Tredici]

The sharp, subtle chill of fall reminds us we are moving into the shadows of autumn. The crisp breeze almost tastes of apple and the air seems to smell of ripe fruit and football leather. What is it about summer giving way and shoulder pads being donned that reduces us to heartily embracing overused expressions? We willingly become slaves to the most oft-repeated cliché.

We turn to gridiron drama and the giddily anticipated season begins. It all starts up front. We must dominate the line of scrimmage. It’s a game of inches won in the trenches. It will be essential to have great blocking at the point of attack, all though the officials could call holding on every play.

Give the quarterback all day back there. Open up the passing lanes. The quarterback with great individual effort leads the receivers beautifully with pinpoint passes right on the money. He will never have happy feet or telegraph a pass. The man calling the plays has a linebacker’s mentality and a rocket arm. Great touch on the pass while throwing strikes that hit the receiver in full stride and right on the numbers.

Play ball control offense; establish the running game by pounding it out on the ground. The line will open a hole you could drive a truck through and the back will run it up the gut without anyone laying a glove on him. The backs always know when to cut back against the grain and also have the speed to get around the corner. Shaking off would be tacklers and streaking down the sideline.

The receivers will be sure handed and paid to catch everything but a cold. They can draw double coverage and rob the defenders by making sure handed grabs. Run precise routes and catch balls thrown up like a prayer. Complete unbelievable circus catches guaranteed to make the highlight reel.

The team will have to make plays on both sides of the ball. The defensive line must exhibit cat like reflexes and tee off on opposing quarterbacks. The linebackers will have a nose for the ball. The defense will have the play sniffed out and make game saving, shoestring tackles. The secondary will play with reckless abandon and cover opposing receivers like a blanket.

It will be a game of field position and please, let the ball take a Denver bounce. Line drive kicks with no chance of a runback. The opposition may try to ice the kicker but he will split the uprights. Mr. Automatic.

It’s time for the leaves to go out in a spectacular burst of color and plays to electrify the crowd. Should you find yourself standing with coffee cup in hand and solemnly and reverently telling a co-worker “Defense Wins Championships” there is only one thing to do. Blame it on that old harvest moon.


Oh wait... It's the CHAOS thread. This would go in the CLICHE thread.

Why is it that all companies that make men's blue jeans skip waist size 35? Is it the thirteenth floor of blue jeans or something? They all go from waist size 34 to 36. I did find out that Levi's makes very few waist size 35 jeans, but only in stonewash and only 501 & 505's. Why?

I'm sick of it...I wear 34's and a beer gut starts to show...I wear 36's and I look like I'm going for Homeboy style. Frustrating doesn't even begin to describe my feelings towards this.

[Hogan11]

..and another thing. Can anyone, anywhere find Cherry Crush soda? That was some awsome stuff, but (like Teem) it seems to have vaporized into thin air over the years.
