Pretty cool, a 58 year old toaster that still works.
I have one that is 30. Guess I'll call Guinness in another 28 years.

He escaped from the Ziffles.

I was following up Dave's post, but my reply ended up on the next page, and I didn't quote his. Oops.
I work in IT, live in a small town, with a lot of coworkers. There are several "big guys" here, and I am one of them. There are only two stores in a 40 mile radius that sell decent Big & Tall clothes, and they are both JCPenny's. So I see other guys dressed exactly like me daily.
Yes Youtube, the next episode I want to watch of the English speaking version of the cartoon I'm watching, is the German version. How smart of you.
This might be funny without understanding the language. It definitely qualifies as random, at least.

So uh...
I'm sitting here in my office, singing in my head, and working on something. Then suddenly I cannot figure out if I was just singing out loud. I can't really remember. Like, I've got this vague impression that I just sang out really loud, but I can't be sure. No one said anything, but then again, I don't think they would. It's kind of one of those, "If you ignore it, it'll go away." things.
So, no idea if I did or not. But I do know what the song and line were. It was the Banana Boat Song, and it was the line about the tarantula, complete with accent.

Were you perhaps stuttering while reading the names of giant stars?

Eeesh, that's some random crap. Hope you were at home at least.
Today I went to a funeral for my dear aunt Bunny and it was...an experience. Now I'm not complaining necessarily about the 5 hour long event, as I like church songs despite being agnostic like a mother fucker-BUT-I thought it weird that a LOT of the songs/hymns in the pamphlet were just...glossed over. I was like "What th-DAMMIT I CAN'T FOLLOW ANY OF THIS!" It wasn't until AFTER the funeral, I learned they...re-use the same pamphlet designs for each funeral, minus some personal inscriptions, which I assume they rip out for later use. And after that, we did the burial ritual TWICE, later on the actual burial plot, and before....in the hallway of a hospice. That...that was a definite fire hazard. I really don't think my aunt the literal saint she was would want to be a potential danger if a fire happens.
Nope, I'm busy playing Long War without the need to edit my .ini file to win.
Can't, I'm on call all weekend.

I am sick of the internet's definition of "roast". THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD VERSION OF JEFFREY ROSS HAS MORE BITE THAN YOU! And yes Jeffrey Ross was on a Batman cartoon, and it was amazing.
