Random non sequitur posts catch-all thread

It was a motif in my nightmares for a time.

It's a good thing my avatar isn't linked to a current-gen console or anything time-specific like that...

Unless it's to put your face on a monkey with a rubix cube bra. That change is fine.

Wow, coming in with a deep cut. Well done, Grenn.

I mean, might as well...

The Star Wars expanded universe continues to deliver...

“Darth Millennial was a three-eyed mutant Sith Lord and Shadow Hand, heir to the lineage of Darth Bane, who lived almost a thousand years before the Battle of Yavin.
...
Millennial was not one to blindly follow his superiors and questioned everything he was taught, formulating his own opinions.”

Whew.

Now I really feel like I'm missing something here!

Nah, just really old memes.

Got a lot of summer gaming on my list. Battletech, Vampyr, The Walking Dead, Pillars of Eternity II (maybe, I'm considering waiting until all the DLC is released on that one).

But I'm also realizing that I've never played Fallout 4, although my interest in playing it revolves almost entirely around the robust mod community that exists around it. Would it be worth the $30? Or would it be better to wait until, say, the winter sale and see if the GOTY edition is on sale for dirt cheap?

Those absolute jackasses at Steam realized that I'd also had Skyrim on my wishlist forever, and put it on sale for $20.

I buckled.

(I don't know if I'll ever even start the game, given how many mod possibilities there are out there for it.)

I initially resent seeing leaves change color.

This is a thing that happened to me. Spoilered for very NSFW situation - no pictures included though...

Spoiler:

Saturday night, I go over to a friend's house for a 10th anniversary party.
I end up manning the grill.
A different friend turns up with an enormous zuccini that she grew in her garden, like two foot long and as thick around as my thigh, mostly intending it as a gag, not actually intending to cook it.
We all make phallic jokes.
I'm all like "f*ck it, I'll grill that up".
As I'm slicing it, one of my friends sidles up , eyeing the remaining half. She asks if she can take it home. I say sure.
She leaves.
We later find out that she wanted to take it home so she could hollow it out and see if she could convince her partner to have sex with it. The owner of said zuccini says "sure, but only if you send pictures".
An hour later, pictures arrive.
"Yup, that's sure Terry* f*cking a zuccini"

*names have been changed to protect the innocent guilty. And also because Terry sounds like the name of a zuccini-f*cker. Sorry to any Terry's reading, but also, have you considered squash-romance?

Welp, another food ruined for me.

Terry, is that you?

Did Tebow warm it up at least?

I mean, we've all been there, right, guys?

Guys?

With a cucumber, sure. With a zucchini? That's just disgusting.

At the same time, considering the size of the zucchini...

It's not the size of the cucumber that matters, it's how you toss the salad.

I'm not sure whether avoiding reading the spoiler has made this thread experience better or worse for me...

I've thought for a good while now that groups of animals should be named by the sounds they make. For example:

A moo of cows.
A quack of ducks.
A hiss of snakes.
A buzz of bees.
A meow of house cats.

Of course, you run into trouble when you get to animals that sound very similar, say like lions and tigers. But really, you could still just call them both the same thing, so it would be both a roar of lions and a roar of tigers. I think it would make it a lot easier to remember the words to use. This is how I do it now, and you should too!

A bullsh*t of Jonmans? A fart of Jonmans?

Poor Giraffes.

I remember the Murfreesboro picnic table incident! That was you, wasn't it?

Ah, see?! It even works for people.

A smug glare of Giraffes.

Don't be ridiculous. Murfreesboro doesn't use plastic tables. Splinters aren't a joke, son.

An orgy of jonmans?

My old Logitech MX 518 mouse is soon to leave this Earth.

He deployed with me to Iraq back in ‘06 and we’ve been together ever since.

He’s outlived numerous would-be replacements and horrific, malamute-related incidents. He’s a decorated combat veteran and a take-no-sh*t old soul. But... his time has come.

Sadly, the scroll wheel just stopped scrolling and the USB connector is failing.

My wife has recommended I give him a small warrior’s funeral and place his corpse on small pyre atop a small dragon boat and then set the boat alight with a small flaming arrow.

He deserves nothing less.

I received some cheap Logitech computer speakers from Amazon today and the box has big proud printing on the front stating they are compatible with Windows Vista. How long have those been sitting in the warehouse?!

They are also listed as the #1 best seller, so they sell thousands of these. How many millions did they buy from Logitech a decade ago for them to still have stock?

The wheel sensor might be blocked.
