Random non sequitur posts catch-all thread

I went to get a haircut and the stylist was a cute, slightly chunky gal, probably a couple years younger than me. I quickly became acutely aware of how her lower-stomach/almost crotch was rubbing against my shoulders with an unexpected frequency. This is common, right? I would assume they just get used to it and shrug it off, but I was having to consciously fend off a mild arousal.

To explain my lack of common sense in this matter, this is only the third haircut I've gotten in the last 8 years (had long hair from age 19-27).

Someone get VORC, I can't figure out if Blind_Evil got a haircut or a lap dance.

Mild arousal! Mild!

(also, what's VORC?)

Goodjer Vulgar or Ridiculously Childish.

You know, I should have known there'd be a thread dedicated to this situation. GWJ does never fails to provide, or disappoint me in humanity.

Being bitter and cynical do not mix very well.

You don't really need to worry about it, unless you hear a buzzing noise that is coming from somewhere other than the clippers.

On the freeway home, I ended up behind a pickup with this written across it's tailgate:

COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID
TURN OFF ENGINE NO SMOKING IN 50 FT

Bah. I like turtles.

There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
Down the road, that's where I'll always be.
Every stop I make, I make a new friend,
can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again.

I'm beginning to suspect that the young girl living with the old dude next door might not be his daughter or family relation.

12-hour overnight shift.

4 cups of really bad coffee.

1 staff meeting after work about some bullsh*t plan management wants to implement.

I don't like this math.

Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down....

That's going to be on my brain all freakin' day.

One of the guys at work wasn't in on Friday or yesterday. Turns out he was charged with nasty things. I hope he's innocent.

How do you pronounce "starnge" in that part of the country?

The golf clap. I does it.

Overheard phone conversation: "I tried to masturbate while studying, but the sociopolitical ramifications of slavery made it difficult to get in the mood."

There's a weird oscillating hum outside my house. If it were higher pitched, I'd be looking for blue phone boxes.

I confuse "phone" and "camera" way too often. Thanks a lot, twenty-first century.

You hope he didn't do it or that they find him innocent? Two very different things.

I hope that they find him innocent, and I hope that that finding is due to him not having done it.

Ideally, I hope the charges are dropped because it is determined that they should never have been laid in the first place.

Bummed my new PC is 0.1mm too tall to fit in my floor lamp. Going to experiment with this layout and see how it works.

Fit in... a lamp?

On the shelves in the lamp stand. Or Edwin could slap x-treme neon all over the case and use it instead of the lamp.

Does it have feet you can remove?

Sandpaper would knock that off a shelf, in no time flat.

I was just going to remove the shelf but when I set the PC up on the desk, it has such a small footprint that it doesn't really seem necessary now.
