Ramblings
Filed under: General, JDGA, My Inventions, Not-Healthy, Random — nobrainer @ 9:25 pm

- Why is it I can’t seem to form a cohesive idea from which I can form a complete post?
- I haven’t been able to really look at it yet, but apparently there is a counter-PETA, People Eating Tasty Animals.
- If I ever own a boat, it will be named Miss Underestimate.
- It’s still the middle of winter here, or so it seems, and for some damn strange reason I feel the need to exercise. Perhaps the Ohio-like winter reminds me of baseball conditioning: two hours of drills followed by timed laps on Monroe, Ohio’s “The Hill”.
- On a serious research note, I often get to use liquid nitrogen, oxygen plasma cleaners, precision etching and coating systems, and scanning electron microscopes. My advisor wants me to be trained as the department “super user” on the atomic force microscope.
- At the end of 18 during the next JDGA meeting, how the hell are we going to drive home? Shit, how are we going to drive the carts after the turn? Shall we call Speedee cab (864-653-5555)? Program that number, assuming they’re still in business.
- Speaking of phone numbers, I heard that the new owner of my previous cell # (864)356-3236 is pretty funny to talk to. Call and ask for me. And I wonder who the new owner of (864)646-5555 is? I bet they love the mandatory early weekend morning phone calls from the idiot who apparently never figured out how to dial a phone… this guy must have been drunk more often than even the best that 300 Woodland Circle ever had to offer.
- And since I’m too lazy to develop it, I’ll go ahead and share one of my ideas for a patent. I want to create a universal fluid flow containment coupling device. Errr… I want to create a universal adapter that will allow a person to connect a standard garden hose to any home water source. The idea would best be coupled with a lightweight hose. I believe this could be effective for outdoor spigots with threads that have been ruined; for attaching to shower heads for the sake of more easily rinsing a shower that you are cleaning; making it easier to water household plants; etc.
- Plus I think the family that lives next door to me (in a one bedroom apartment?) may have moved. I have no evidence other than having seen no proof of their existance in the last 3 or 4 weeks. My other neighbor routinely spends the night at her boyfriend’s place. This is very good news for someone who has a good stereo system.

* I remember getting that phone number one fall. “If you need to call, dial 646-5….5…..5…5!” Brad! Get real! What’s your real phone number?”
* 864-356-1925…that was my ex’s cell phone. Mine was 864-356-I don’t remember.
* If I ever have a boat, it’ll be called Calumny. Or else The Flying Hoopajoo.

To the best of my knowledge, that # goes back to J-Rod. Apparently 300 Woodland started right when the 646 register was added. -5555 was available and taken.

Having -5555 as your number is great for your friends, but not for people you meet. They don’t believe you.

 
collapse Wha Says:

revert back to the cab comment you made or the stay at Madren on Saturday comment I madea couple weeks ago or better yet, remember the times when we all got home messed up in a plethora of ways, at night and were fine. We have the roads memorized. They will be cake in abundant day light with only one form of intoxicant.
Oh and the answer to your hose thing is duct tape. And when you want to take it off, WD-40.

 
collapse Nobrainer Says:

Duct tape isn’t waterproof, to my knowledge.

Yes, Jarrod flirted with the phone operator and hooked us up. I can’t tell you how many times I had to explain to gilrs downtown that it was a real number, and I really did want to have sex with them. (Okay, I can explain, iwas like 2 times, but it sounds like I pulled more ass if I say it the other way. No, I think it was more like 3 times.) Who knows it could have been a whole lot-I was drinking with larson and peeing on my laundry. I don’t remember much.)

 
collapse Brad Says:

1. 646-5555 was the best number EVER, look at your phone and tell me that when you are in the obliterated state of asking why the wall is carpeted that looking at one row of numbers is much easier than 4. I mean that cuts the posible combinations of numbers down from 7! using 10 numbers to 7! using 3 numbers (I think). Anyways, even J-Rod could figure it out.
2. Your neighbors didn’t move, the evil monkey in the closet just finally killed them ala The Family Guy.
3. You have never been able to form a cohesive idea, none of us have, that’s why Engineers don’t do essays or extended phone conversations and just blurt out movie quotes for communication.
4. My dad stated that if he ever owned a name worthy boat it would be named Psoriosis of the River, spelling may be off but it’s a funny name.

 
collapse nobrainer Says:

Uh, cirrhosis - the scarring of the liver by alcohol abuse? Or psoriasis - A noncontagious inflammatory skin disease characterized by recurring reddish patches covered with silvery scales?

 
collapse Hayes Says:

Actually, Brad, that name was already taken by a Florida boat. I saw it one summer while snorkeling in the Gulf. Only they spelled it: Sea-hosis of the River.

My family’s boat was called: The Damn Boat.

 
collapse Wha Says:

I am naming my boat Whaaatch Out.
