Overheard at the college library: "Yeah, first date, I always ask if they wanna play Jenga." "Why Jenga?" "So they know my pull-out game is STRONG."
 
Ok parents of halforums I have a question for you:

The song 2 heads by coleman hell starts with the lyrics "There must be something in the water, and there must be something 'bout your daughter, she said."

Now, that line has always come across as weird to me. Is there any way someone complimenting your child makes you more likely to want to have sex with said person?

Many single parents will not waste time on someone who doesn't like their kid. However, I don't think there is a solid link between "compliment child ---> sex"
 
There have been some guys that have become more appealing to me after seeing them be good parents, but thinking about sex directly related to their child? Uh, no. Ew, no.
 
I don't know if I care for that implication.
I find it silly that someone decided to create a pumpkin spice dog biscuit flavor when presumably people don't eat very many dog biscuits.
I'm not sure why you would think I'm implying anything.

I'm seeing a career counselor today. He had me do a bunch of tests and such online. Questions included my interests, aptitude, etc. It didn't tell me much more than what I already knew, so we'll see what he says.

I'm worried about running into you-know-who, but one of my oldest friends gave me the perfect perspective on that, "Which is more important to you? Finally getting some direction in your life or the chance of maybe running into her?" That was easy to answer.

I understand Voldemort's looking for a new job, but why would that be in your neighbourhood?

Between the origami crane commercial and the marriage proposal commercial, I'm trying to figure out if Extra gum is trying to get us to buy gum or slit our wrists.

Well, despite two days of flash flooding and torrential downpour, there is significantly less standing water than I thought there would be. So maybe there won't be as much of a mosquitopocalypse as I thought there would be. Which is good.
 
As long as it don't freeze, you'll get Mosquitoes after a solid rain.

That's about the only good thing about living in northern climes. The tradeoff is when creepy crawlies come through any cracks in your domicile because they seek warmth.

Well, obviously. I expect SOME mosquitoes. But last year's heavy rains left standing water for weeks, and spending any amount of time outside near dawn or dusk was the stuff of nightmares. It was a pleasant surprise to see most of the places that had standing water last year merely had wet dirt this morning. So, it won't be as horrifying for as long.

It did finally make it to Houston and it rained a good bit. But in most of the city it was not quite the biblical deluge they warned of.
