Random Questions Thread/Stuff You Don't Get

We have a couple forum-specific "Random Questions" thread, figured we should have one for general queries/what isn't answered in those threads.

I've actually had several but right now the only one I can think of ATM is... Google Plus. Whatever happened to that? Heard a bunch of noise about folks switching over but it was only about 10% of FB people I know. Anyone still using it? will it supplant FB?

First, I don't get why this thread hasn't taken off.

Second--tattoos. Seriously. Like I just saw a friend of mine got a big tattoo across her shoulders and it is kinda ugly to begin with but its also of an animal. Not like a bear or lion or some shit but like something really fucking dumb. and its like, IDK, if you are 22 why would you get something that's going to be on your body forever? She's also got the type of body that will age poorly. ive seen her mom too (IIRC) and...wow. it is like the shits going to look ugly if your skin starts to like wrinkle and shit. and then if you still like it it means either you haven't changed OR it is really profound and there are few tattoos that anyone gets any more that are actually profound so... I dunno man. Shit just seems dumb.

Like my roommate is all geared up to get a tattoo that's just like something stupid, I forget what, and she's like "it won't have any hidden meaning, that's exactly what it'll be...that's going to be awesome!" I was like yeah.... good luck with that. I hope when you are 70 you go wtf. Like that's the other thing, so this girl who got the big tat wants to be like a punk girl or something but she's soft. And I'm like, sure when you're in college you think you'll always be like this but what happens when you are 50 and likely just trying to be a good parent and shit... and you have a giant fucking tat on your back. Even worse are the stupid shit people get on their feet. Feet tats are a 100000% guarantee you are not a classy individual.

okay, here's a puzzler.

I like Bailey's Irish Cream.
I like Coffee
But when I add the two: feh!

Why is this?

T-Bone has all this stuff on his mind. WTF mang.

To answer one question it is because some of the coffee and Bailey's flavors don't go well together.

Sometimes when the big issues frustrate you so terribly, you focus on the little things to divert yourself and possibly exercise some control.

Okay, this has plagued me since '93 or so: Was Seinfeld ever funny? Why did people watch Seinfeld? Were you all just tuned in week after week, just waiting for the joke? I can only imagine millions of households turning off the TV after another episode, saying..."Well, not this week. Maybe next week he'll be funny." How long did that show run, what, 10 years or so? 10 years of week-after-week of "maybe next week it will be funny". WTF was wrong with you people?

Okay, as a follow-up on this poast, I took a few moments to switch inks between pens (one was Noodlers' Midnight Blue, and the other Noodler's Kingfisher Blue), and presto! both pens work much better now. The Lamy does't skip, and the Waterman doesn't look like a sharpie!

Okay, now I have two pens and can't decide which to use. frown.gif

Oh, anyway. I have a few Senior Citizens in my Thursday Ethics class, I understand that they're learning and all that, but I don't get why they insist on kvetching and commenting and asking questions and crap like that. It's class, we're there to be told What Ethics Is, not offer commentary and asides, and we're Certainly not supposed to question the orthodoxy of Professional Ethics.

And another thing. I'm terribly conflicted by this and I'm not sure why. I respect that they're trying to learn, but when headphone woman gets some feedback in her phones (which startles us all and makes her jump), I giggle a bit. Why am I such a mean prick about that? Seriously troubled by this.
