The Off Topic Topic

Is the list you created here a joke too?

No, that's his usual breakfast shopping list at the nearby gas station.

Ah, gotcha.

Yeah, Jacob is an expert on that because I have him sign off on my grocery lists before I go to the store.

Then why isn't rød pølse on the list?

[Admiral Yi]

Yeah.
I guessed there was a kernal of truth though. Where does the lobster part of the joke derive from?

Nothing.  No one ever eats lobster for breakfast.

What's represented in that photo has really little to do with a typical American breakfast.

Yeah.
I guessed there was a kernal of truth though. Where does the lobster part of the joke derive from?

The fact that lobster tails are awesome and really should be appropriate for any meal if you think about it.

Breaking news from CNN: a 30 year old convert to Islam sawed off the head of a women at the workplace he got fired from.

edit: In Oklahoma.

Before or after he was fired?

My employer pays a 300 Euro bonus if you don't miss a single day for sickness during the year. They reduce it by 50 Euro per day that you are missing. I wonder if that leads to sick people coming into the office.

That leads to showingupism, that's very stupid.

Real term is presenteeism, apparently.

Daily Mail outrage is the best outrage.

I was called a skinhead once, but the Daily Mail didn't carry my story.

Hey, add a NORTH ATLANTIC lobster tail to your meal at Golden Corral.

Not a Maine lobster tail,a NORTH ATLANTIC tail.

[Admiral Yi]

It's kind of frightening to me that they charge 4 bucks for a lobster tail.

So I may have met a unicorn.



I took my mother to the DMV. She got in line and whatever and I settled in for a wait. I had my kindle and started to read. One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen sat down next to me. I was in an empty row. She deliberately sat immediately next to me and asked me what I was reading. I said the Mongoliad, but I just started it so I wasn't sure how good it was yet but I liked it so far. She said she was a bit of a history nerd and was interested. Now, if a girl tells you she's a history nerd what do you expect?
Maybe she was lying. Then she tells me about some stuff I won't go into but I'm convinced she's not playing me. Not really my type. More like she might do internet porn body. Boobs very big. Judging by the slimness of her waist I assumed they were fake. Not that I care.

Anyway, she starts talking about history and the Mongolian invasions and whatnot. She mentioned liking Steven Pressfield. My mom eventually came and took me away but hot girl kept finding reasons to come talk to me. I don't know this chick's name, but some dude is going to be made very happy by her. I still feel bad because I know I disappointed her with my disinterest. I would have chatted all day but I'm a married man and she was clearly interested in more than my book.

Mom told my wife when we got home that I was a good boy. 

I still feel like a meanie.

Is there anyone here you can talk to about a possible solution to your problem?

[MadImmortalMan]

Nope. 

Still, I hope this girl ends up with someone like Tonitrus or something. She's nice and deserves that.

Pfff, who here hasn't had an internet-hot girl with a shared interest niche nerd interest come on to them while waiting at DMV or the magistrate?
