Not about Religion or Politics

Hey everyone!

I got sick of seeing the inceasent flow of religious and political threads, so this one is different.

Hi! How are you?

Yep, that's it. The entire post.

I'm fine, how are you?

While I love a good theological discussion, it can certainly become overwhelming at times.

In other news, only another hour and ten minutes until I can leave work.

I'm at a loss for words. Do we debate now?

We could debate the relative merit of religion/politics threads. I will take the pro side.

We need these threads, dammit. It's what keeps the forum interesting, all the bickering back and forth. Without the regimented structure, the forum would simply descend into chaos, which would defeat it's purpose entirely.

See, the idea here is to cause people to write freely about some other topics. The religion and politics are great and all, but after awhile we all need to come up for some air. So yeah, party on NS!

But if there weren't any religion/politics threads, you'd probably be well rested, fresh and not tired at all at work today...Right?

While it is true that I was browsing the forum last night when I should have been asleep, it is also true that posting right now is helping me pass the time. Thus, the various arguments are necessary to consistently stimulate me so that I don't fall asleep at my desk.

One hour to go!

I think the religious/political debates stem from a repressed sexual environment, if we talked sex more I doubt we would be debating much

My baby son and my cat conspired to freak the hell out of me today.

He was crawling on the rug a little bit. I was nearby on the couch watching him and talking on the phone. He spots something gray by the door and heads right toward it. I thought it might be a toy, but didn't recognize it. As I'm saying 'hang on' to the cable tv lady on the other end of the phone, he reaches the object and grabs it. What does he do? He does what all babies do when confronted with an unidentified object. He put it in his mouth.

I was on him in seconds. I pluck it from his mouth and his grasp.

It was a dead mouse. :eek:

My cat must've brought it in with him earlier that day without my wife noticing. At this point, my eyeballs are spinning around. Dr. Spock never covered this. What the hell do I do? Well, I settle for doing my best to wipe my son's mouth out as best as I could with a damp towel, cleaning his hand and having a mild stroke.

Fortunately, my son has a previously scheduled doctor's appointment tomorrow so I can have the doctor do a routine check for various plagues and pestilences. Egad, I hope I'm joking. :eek:

Eh, it wasn't that witty. Something about CSI and the Father Dowling Mysteries.

I have never seen the Father Dowling Mysteries, and I have only seen two episodes of CSI (in any of its incarnations). Does this make me a bad person?

Wow, she hung up on you? I called, and the lady just got whiny about it. She was complaining about the water in her pool being dry, and I was all like "Hey, it's winter, you can't swim in it anyway." She then started crying and saying how hard her job was, and I hung up and went to take a nice, dry bath.

What the heck are you two going on about? We've been using dry water for years around these parts. Oh, sure, there was a big fuss about it when they first made the switch. "How do you expect us to take dry showers?" "What, we're supposed to eat a glass of water now?" But in the end you'll find that dry water is far superior to wet water, and cheaper too.

Knowing this place...someone will statrt a poll "Whats Better? Wet Water or Dry Water?" and then politics will get into it... Red States will go for the dry water and blue states will go for the wet and then someone will blame Bush or Clinton for the whole wet/dry water controversy.

Right, well...

Now it comes,
That magical hour,
When I must sleep,
Right after I shower,
I bid you all,
Farewell, and adu, (forgive my spelling if it's wrong)
I promise I'll call,
Well, maybe not you,
It's time to go sleepy,
And walk within dreams,
Stalkers are creepy,
And smell of tangerines,
It's time to go now,
My rhymes are growing thin,
I take my final bow,
To let night night begin...

Holy crap, on the spot bedtime poetry. I need to go to bed. Night all.

As a staunch supporter of dry water, I vehemently deny the practicality of your so-called "dehydrated water". Sure, it might be lightweight. But will it quench my thirst?

Here's a little tip; Add your packet of dehydrated water to your water while it's still boiling. It'll dissolve more completely.

I am so confused.
