How did Sperm Whales get there name? I just imagine a whale siding up to an ancient mariners boat and busting a huge whale money shot onto the deck. Then the subsequent swabbing of the deck.
"Spermaceti (from Latin sperma meaning "semen", and ceti meaning "whale") is a waxy substance found in the head cavities of the sperm whale (and, in smaller quantites, in the oils of other whales). Spermaceti is created in the spermaceti organ inside the whale's head."
Thats cool. If I ever came upon a Sperm Whale beached on the shore I would have been reluctant to help it get back in the water so I didn't get whale sperm on me. My aversion to sperm has prevented me from ever participating in a guy, guy, girl threesome. Not that the opportunity has ever presented itself....
I think its pretty cool how you can adapt to different situations.
Two months ago I stopped wearing one pair of shoes to work, only to have to swap to the safety shoes for when I go in the plant(s). I've always been fairly particular about what shoes I use while I drive as I like some good pedal feedback on the feet, so using these clunking safety shoes was a challenge at first. I think I've finally mastered heal and toeing in them. I executed a whole wack load of sweet-baby-jesus-perfect downshifts tonight; so much so that I ended up taking the long way home.
They really are clogs..

You wear shoes in the Bongshed? You don't have a fine antique Persian rugs in there?I think its pretty cool how you can adapt to different situations.

I like the illicit feeling I get squirreling away in a private place to partake. I feel safer there. When I have to deal with civilians I lose the ability to enjoy the buzz. Like I am 13 and need to hide it from my Mom. Safer that way anyways. Never smoke in front of your children either. It fucks them up.
If you have imaginary friends. You should probably balance that out by having imaginary enemies also. It is all covered in the bible if you need an example.
In cold weather why exactly should I keep my fuel tank more then half full? Just don't know?
that seems excessive. my mom, who is paranoid and overly cautious to the point of irrationality, always said 1/4 tank. maybe in case you're stranded in a whiteout and need heat? or have to creep to the nearest gas station? or because when the lizard people come to take your car there's a chance they'll be more benevolent if there's a decent amount of gas in it?
If I was a Moderator I would ban lizard people. Blatantly Mock them also.
I think the real risk is with empty space allowing for humidity to condense in your tank. This can theoretically cause ice to block your fuel lines. If you drive regularly this is less of a risk than if a tank lasts a month. As most modern fuels have 10% ethanol this moisture will simply be absorbed into the gas and cause few problems.
In summary moisture really isn't an issue in newer cars with modern fuels. However, lizard people are still a great risk. Leave no room for them in your fuel tank, nor in your back seat. Fill either of them with fuel, or teddy bears. Teddy bears are the only known natural enemy of the lizard people.

I see my failure and have made the proper corrections.
The quality and selection of snacks at the Christmas Tree Shops is a marvel of modern man. In fact not much in them actually adheres to the Christmas theme. Inflatable mattress', teddy bears and everything. Lizard toys also...
Chinese Pork ribs are so much better then BBQ ribs in every way. If you go to the local BBQ place you will pay $12/15 for a trimmed rack in nasty sauce. A quart box of ribs at the Chinese place is $7 and has no sauce.
This must be one of the most glowing reviews of my old country - it would make me proud if I gave a fuck.

You don't seem to go out of your way to tell people how little you care about things. I therefore assume you care deeply about everything.
Spot on. One important thing the writer did not give a fuck to write about is how little fuck we give a about deities.
Unless they play hockey.
i spent half of the time that i was supposed to be interviewing a candidate for head of exhibition design watching a sunspot with the shadow of a waving branch in it move across the wall. it was caused by the light reflecting off the mirrored surface of an outdoor sculpture at the museum across the street. it was fucking mesmerizing.
Is she hired?
it was a guy and he had good design experience but not in our industry. the lady interviews tomorrow.
I lent money to a local entrepreneur. Gladly his business has been a success. He is a local guy. Excon. Family guy extraordinaire. He paid his note and then some. I will miss him.
I assume that this is a euphemism for, he didn't have my money, now I need to clean my wood chipper.
No inspiration was necessary. They did the right thing all by themselves. Kind of refreshing actually.
Good for you. Not a lot of debtors will woodchip themselves. You are both feared and respected.
Some of my largest debtors have died all by themselves. I am not feared enough however. I have to work on that.
Get a bigger woodchipper. Let it be known you done wore out your current model.
Êtes-vous un flic
