Stuff not worthy of its own thread
I've suggested this a few times and haven't got much response, so - I guess I'll try it. The neg-bangs or pos-bangs will tell me if it was a good idea or not. Some of the other forums I visit on a daily basis have a thread like this, it helps get rid of the 'my dog has a leaky ass' threads.
Whenever someone post something that gets discussion and/or debate going, the mods can start a new thread so we can talk about it there. But typically, these threads are just a bunch of rambling (which most of the OT threads here are) that get a few responses before the subject dies.
I’m not suggesting that we use this thread for good OT threads that get very interesting and get lots of replies, like the ‘movie line’ threads etc. Just for basic, off the wall random observations, bitching, non-bitching, or for thoughts that, well, aren’t worthy of their own thread.
I’ll start

I mean really, what is the point? Just had some. Stuck in my teeth, does nothing for me, but tomorrow when I take my morning shit, the toilet will be full of it.
Whose idea was this?

to your OSU collection?

Corn on the cob is amazing, especially with a good amount of salt n squeeze butter. I couldn't care less about how many kurnels or flakes or whatever are stuck in my teeth afterwards, that's why we cut down all those trees to make toothpicks.

Evony ad that shows up to my left, that chick has a nice tit. (that's the only tit that shows for you who haven't seen her, I mean it)

What are you supposed to do with your wet shower shoes that you just used in the shower at the gym? If you put them in your gym bag everything else just gets wet and then smells worse. However, if you don't do that then you have to carry them and if it's cold enough they may freeze.
January 21st, 2010 at 6:46 PM ^
Bring a plastic bag and throw them in there, then put the bag in a side pocket of your gym bag.

Ive come up with a couple rules to live by in my life one being: If someone doesn't like Cheese they can't be trusted!
I mean seriously who in this world doesn't like cheese?! Medical reasons aside.
January 21st, 2010 at 6:59 PM ^
I know some Swedish people who don't like cheese very much at all. Peel it off pizza, can't stand mozzarella sticks and things like that. Weird
January 21st, 2010 at 7:01 PM ^
A girl in my house HATES cheese... and I agree with your rule.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:04 PM ^
that girl has to find new living arrangements.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:11 PM ^
Oh, if only... I'm starting to wonder how I thought living in a house with 50+ crazy straight girls would be a good plan hahaha
January 21st, 2010 at 7:12 PM ^
that would be it.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:22 PM ^
Apparently college is not, in fact, the experimental time for everyone. Curse you misleading stereotypes!
January 21st, 2010 at 7:05 PM ^
It is confusing, because he's otherwise an alright guy.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:29 PM ^
And if it was in the form of fondue, even better. Cheez Whiz is even ok.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:33 PM ^
Many think of it as rotten milk. Interesting thing I learned when I joined the workforce as a research engineer and a third of the people I work with are Chinese...they usually don't dig pizza very much.

does not have a leaky ass - just in case you wondered
January 21st, 2010 at 6:54 PM ^
Why does my wife have 11 pillows on our bed? The order in which these pillows need to be placed on the bed is like a Martha Stewart Rubiks Cube.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:08 PM ^
and have long since given up on figuring out how to put the pillows on the bed. Sadly, I recently discovered that I also have no idea how to take the pillows OFF the bed. Each size has it's own spot, and figuring out where each goes evidently requires more estrogen than my body can produce.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:12 PM ^
The couch my roommate bought for our place has an obnoxious amount of pillows as well. Whenever I get drunk I get annoyed because their presence does not cause comfort and I wake up to find almost all of them on the ground throughout the room.

POOP COUCH SHALL LIVE FOREVER!
... oh to be an undergrad again.
January 21st, 2010 at 11:14 PM ^
Only in college is something like the poop couch as hilarious as it was.
January 21st, 2010 at 6:58 PM ^
Why are lubricated condoms almost impossible to open without using your teeth? If they must hermitically seal prophylactics do we not have the technology to make the lubricant cherry flavored?
January 21st, 2010 at 7:00 PM ^
...I'm pretty sure we have that technology as well as pina colada technology.
(Yea, I'm bored at work)
January 21st, 2010 at 7:08 PM ^
called scissors, but then again, who carries a pair of those in their pocket? Teeth it is!

You might not get through airport security, but you'll be ready for anything else!January 21st, 2010 at 7:25 PM ^
you could be the female MacGyver.

Funny you should say that, I have an OBSCENE amount of duct tape left over from mudbowl.
Side note: SO PISSED GIRLS CAN'T PLAY MUDBOWL ANYMORE!
January 21st, 2010 at 8:58 PM ^
wait, what? why not?

Insurance... and there were questionable morals behind the whole thing for years. But mostly insurance.
January 21st, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
Did anyone see that they're coming out with a MacGruber movie based on Will Forte's SNL character? I think they had a couple Pepsi Super Bowl commercials with him, too... The trailer seems entertaining enough.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
until I forgot it was in my pocket going to catch a flight. Those TSA guys must be swimming in pocket knives, like Scrooge McDuck through coins.
...sigh...looks like the terrorists DID win.
January 21st, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
in your pocket she may think you're a psycho and run away and then you're left with an open useless condom. So teeth it is!

Why does ketchup come in such tiny packets? Does anyone ever actually use just one?
Why do some people power-grunt at the gym? Do they think it makes them stronger?
When I lay down a ghost poop and it flies down the hole, how does it attain that velocity? This makes me believe there is something more to our life than what we see.
Why are farts so hilarious no matter how old we are? The most respectable people in the world would laugh at a toot in the right circumstance.
January 21st, 2010 at 11:25 PM ^
1.) The power grunt may be related to the poop velocity.
2.) My theory is that men stop maturing around age 13. My 57-year-old father in law still busts out like a Kindergartner at fart/poop jokes.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
You know what pisses me off? Other drivers. Especially drivers that are waiting at a stop sign or in a driveway and make a highly aggressive move to jump in front of you and get in your lane, forcing you to slow down so as not to rear-end them, and then drive 5-10 MPH below the speed limit. Bonus points if there was nobody behind you and they could have just waited. This is one of my top three driving pet peeves and it happened to me on the way to work and it makes me want to install Spy Hunter-style tire slashers on my car and deploy them liberally.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
that's a whole other topic. I hate it when people get in the far right lane (when there are two lanes going straight, but 95% of the traffic in the right lane wants to turn right) and there are cars stopped in front of me wanting to go straight. Just get in the left lane already and let the rest of us who want to turn right get in the right lane
January 21st, 2010 at 7:27 PM ^
for days about bad drivers and my road rage. My main victims: people who drive 10 mph below the speed limit in the fast lane, its for passing only, not for cruising; people who don't turn on red, even though you can turn and there's no one coming; people who brake 400 feet before they turn;
I'm starting to get upset just thinking about it.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:40 PM ^
people who drive 10 mph below the speed limit in the fast lane, its for passing only, not for cruising;A common complaint. Some advice for you, if this is your #1 pet peeve: NEVER live in Washington state. I have two stories for this that I swear on the grave of everyone are true: 1) I lived in Washington for about 18 months, and my folks came to visit one time. First time my dad had ever been in the state since before interstate highways. The first thing he says to me when he gets to my place after driving up from the airport in his rental car is not "hi" or "how are things", it's "What the hell is wrong with the idiots in this state?" I said, lemme guess, you tried to pass on the left like normal human beings and found that you had to pass on the right because Washington drivers think the left lane is for traveling 50 MPH? Naturally I was dead on. 2) When I was leaving Washington to move back east, I drove and followed I-90 through the mountains in western Montana. I get up to the top of one of the hills and it's Big Sky country even there so you can see a loooooong way. There's ONE car on the road for MILES and it's traveling in the left lane. Fifteen minutes later I catch up to it, it's been traveling in the left lane all this time so I pass it on the right, and yup, it's got a Washington plate. I got another thing I hate, by the way: When you're in the left-turn lane waiting at the red light behind someone who doesn't have their signal on. The light turns into a green arrow, they pull out into the intersection, begin their turn, and THEN put on the signal. Thanks, dumbass, I had it figured out by now.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:47 PM ^
I couldn't tolerate that. Sometimes I wish I had the authority to pull someome over for it. Or just be allowed to legally ram them if they don't get the point as I'm increasling getting closer to them and making hand obscene gestures.
January 21st, 2010 at 8:13 PM ^
These are the most basic and easy-to-use tools under anyone's control while driving. For FUCK's sake use them! I know it takes a grand total of less than a calorie of spent energy to flick your finger in an upward or downward motion to signal your intent, but please, for the love of GOD, try to do it.
January 21st, 2010 at 8:11 PM ^
European drivers have this down. Staying in the passing lane on the autobahn is a great way to get an earful of horn or worse.
January 21st, 2010 at 7:31 PM ^
One of my aero GSIs used this phenomena to describe the slingshot effect, and it was easily the most effective comparison I've ever heard.
January 22nd, 2010 at 12:44 AM ^
3. Not using a turn signal to change lanes, especially in bad traffic.
2. When driving down the freeway you encounter a "Lane ends in X miles, merge left/right." Naturally, traffic slows as most people merge and the open lane gets crowded. Of course, some asshole screams down the now empty lane and tries to jump in at the very front.
1. People who try to be nice at a four way stop. Seriously, if you get there first, just fucking go. Your charity is only screwing up the system. Really, anyone who doesn't understand how a four way stop works in general should stick to public transportation.
January 22nd, 2010 at 8:24 AM ^
People who tailgate are pretty annoying too, I purposely slam my brakes or drive slower to piss them off
January 21st, 2010 at 7:24 PM ^
about the poop and how it gets to where its going - I mean, really, who hasn't. Okay, so you flush the toilet, the water pushes it down, but after that, how does it get to where it's going? How can my poop travel 5 miles to the treatment plant? Are there little Ohio State graduates down there pushing it or what? I know shit flows down hill, but I live in a ravine and the treatment plant is way up there^^^^^^^^^^^
January 21st, 2010 at 7:32 PM ^
As a plumber/pipfitter I can tell you there are lift stations underground in the city sewer mains which depending on the city can be as large as 120'' cement lined pipe.
The lift staition are a series of grinders which are called MUFFIN MUNCHERS then pumps send the shit to the water treatment plants. Remember to flush twice it is a long way to Columbus!!
