Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about

The part of the forum where the silliest things happen. Conversations that sound like they belong here, will be moved here. Maybe.

Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about

Post by Bloodhound »

My wife is in the 7th week of her surgery recovery, she has read the books she wanted to read, and watched the movies she wanted to watch, so now she is doing a puzzle book and watching the HGN channel. She loves the home remodel shows and there is even one based in Pagosa Springs, over in Durango Pipe's neck of the woods.

I have never been a big fan and have only watched a few...but with her watching and me being the care giver, I can hear it in the background...the last 10 min of every episode is just women shrieking "Oh My Gosh...Its So Wonderful", "Oh my, is it even my house", "Oh I just can't believe it", "Oh I'm gonna cry...I love it so much"....Blah Blah Blah...all of this is shrieked at a level that makes dogs howl...it seems like most of the shows are set in the South so the women shriek with a southern twang, or in California so they shriek with the Valley Girl vibe...

It makes my teeth itch...not that you care :doh:

We should start a pool with the dates Bloodhound starts their own remodel, and an over/under line on what's it's going to cost.

I'll say the guest bath makeover starts June 4. He'll get of easy with only a $8,950.00 bill for that room.

But that's only the start.

Sorry brother.

A young Japanese colleague who was doing his year-long rotation through the US plant of a Japanese company I once worked for saw another colleague eating Maruchan brand ramen noddles for lunch. He said that means more or less "(Round) Fat Boy" in Japanese.
He said "(Round) Fat Girl." Which is infinitely worse.

Fat Girl instant noodles.
I'll defer to your translation since it is likely more accurate than my recollection.

I've been telling this story wrong for 15 years.
How? The gist is right. It's fat-ass soup.

My wife's family calls her Meri-chan. I call her Maru-chan when I absolutely want to get the cold shoulder for a couple of days.

I just finished a zoom meeting that included a bright young lady named Chevy. The conversation didn't allow me to ask, but I'm assuming her folks were car people.

Perhaps, also possible they watched a lot of early Saturday Night Live and we’re fans of Mr. Chase.

Neighbor lady across the alley introduced herself as "Winston". As I opened my mouth to ask, she said "No, my parents didn't smoke."

Today my place of employment changed our tobacco ban from "no tobacco ever and you will be tested for nicotine" to " no tobacco use during work hours and no testing for nicotine".
