I filled the newly created bird "reflecting and wading" pool.......being such a dry summer, I thought I'd not just feed them, but allow for spa time and some drinking.

Hooray for the end of the sportsball thing, it was getting difficult to make small talk with cabbies and bartenders without it turning into an awkward sports conversation hahaha.

Yesterday was fun. My gf's parents arrived in town, and we were going to meet them for dinner. The bus she was on to get home from work was late, so instead of taking the Muni we ended up grabbing a cab. On one hand, since everybody was watching the game the streets were empty... we made it to their hotel in no time. But on the other hand, the game and the team is all the driver would talk about. We didn't really stop him, he was excited and enthusiastic and we enjoyed the ride, but when he was dropping the names of players or coaches or talking about plays or injuries we were pretty lost.

After dinner though, that was hilarious. Just as we got her parents back to their hotel you could hear the cheers erupting and see people start pouring out of the bars and into the streets. It was like a well-timed scene in a disaster movie - we looked at each other, both said "cab!" and we found an open cab on the other side of the street. We flagged him down, hopped in and he got moving just in the nick of time. We managed to stay ahead of the masses and got back home before too many people had taken to the streets to celebrate.

Mmmm donut pile...

My niece is delighted to have married into a last name that makes her name a pun.

I adore that girl.

And I hate that "a pun is the lowest form of humor" thing. Of course, we could consider tripping someone and then laughing at them not humor, but it's much lower than any pun I've ever heard.

*wanders in, makes CCC*
I guess I'm Polyhumorous. I'll laugh at almost anything (that's not directly cruel to a person).
or would that be "Omnihumorous"?

so dang, had a conversation this morning, with I thought a "friend".
I made a point that was somewhat off topic, but related to the topic in how her proposal would actually work, as opposed to the idealogical "this is how things should be, in my opinion".
now, we are not friends.
it's tough when a person is so impassioned that they take anything that is not in lock step with their thoughts, as an attack and rejection.

MyDearFriend · Post by **MyDearFriend** » Thu Jun 18, 2015 7:23 am

Sorry to hear that Yggy, but, some people are just like that.

Personally, I prefer a conversation that includes different (but not idiotic) points of view, as that is way more interesting to me.

And my most cherished professional colleagues, over the years, have all disagreed with me about almost everything. This is how we learn.

Okay more

please!!!

OK MDF, I rabidly disagree....3 coffee cups? No way. 4 or nothing. Don't you see my correct view? Amirite?

Calling anything the lowest form of something just sounds so snobby. Bad puns are just that, bad... but if it makes the listener smile or brightens their day even a little bit, then it sounds good to me.

I need lots of caffeine this morning. I've got lots of things to get done around the house, plus a few design projects to try and crunch through... then Pandorra's parents are coming over to hang out for a bit before we go out to dinner again.

I was disappointed at Elliotts when he was spinning a rim and I said, "Truer spokes were never whirred". Nobody reacted. Come ON. That was great!

Elliot · Post by **Elliot** » Thu Jun 18, 2015 12:32 pm

This is a friend's three-person pedal vehicle, used in Kinetic Sculpture Racing. It is called Visualize Whirled Peas.
The peas (tennis balls) are not whirling in this picture, but you can probably visualize it.

"And for those of you in Rio Linda"... truer whirds were never spoken, yes.

"A double entendre may exploit puns to convey the second meaning. Double entendres generally rely on multiple meanings of words, or different interpretations of the same primary meaning. They often exploit ambiguity and may be used to introduce it deliberately in a text. Sometimes a homophone (i.e. another word which sounds the same) can be used as a pun. When three or more meanings have been constructed, this is known as a "triple entendre""

"and now, live from the Big Top, a quadruple, with no net"...
