I'm so obs/compulsive that every single one of my folders and mp3s is in lowercase.

I have a hardwired religious paranoia that makes me surreptitiously look up and say 'sorry!' quickly in a little squeaky voice when I take God's name in vain, and notice how I always capitalize God (I also always capitalize "Mother" and "I").

Many of my friends are ironically racist, often towards people in the same room, leading to complete etiquettal entropy where nobody knows why or how everybody is calling each other a crazy _______ and being totally okay with it.

I feel the best form of revenge is strategically stealing your enemy's friends, because it really is.

don't download mp3s of "God save the queen" or your brain will EXPLODE. Fatal error 3954: conflicting instructions

I got so annoyed about this bloke leaning back into me, despite him being a scary drunken oaf, that I literally yelled obscenities at him when he tried it. Amazingly, he turned round, looked concerned, apologised and moved his seat back to upright. Which is lucky, as it's a long way to Denver.

Jess, do you arrive at the check-in 5 hours early to get the emergency exit seats? I try to and I'm only 6'.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:41 (twenty years ago) link

I always ask for bulk-head seating (seats at the front of the compartment), but they generally say that those seats are reserved for disabled folk....usually prompting me to make some woefully predictable comment ala "Someone's gonna get disabled alright if I hafta...." etc. etc.

I just read out James Ball's Best post on the FAP Cup Draw thread and passed it off as my own opinion to my colleagues.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:59 (twenty years ago) link

My 2 main travelling companions (1 is 6'2" & the other is 5'10") always ask for extra leg room, so i pretty much always enjoy it even though I am only 5'3"!

Its in pill form, in Aus you can buy a paracetamol/codiene tablet from chemists quite easily (no prescription).

but isn't the paracetamol quite bad for you? Or, as I heard recently, can you cut Sudafed pills in half and one side is Codeine, the other paracetamol?

― OCP (OCP), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 01:23 (twenty years ago) link

sudafed is pseudoephedrine. tho' if you're talking about Panadeine, as far as i'm aware it's not designed that way. can't speak for other pills though.

paracetamol is v bad for your liver in large doses (large = any more than 12 or so tablets in a 24-hour period really)

OK I'm only 5'8 and I can't sit in seats when people recline back in airplanes. I mean, I don't know who actually does sit in those seats. I never recline at all, maybe I'll push it back an inch if I'm getting really sore from sitting but that's it, and only after double checking the person behind me. What is wrong with people that they seem to think there is this limitless space behind them? I mean they're sitting in the exact same seats so they can see that this is not the case, just by looking at the seat in front of them. WTF?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 01:59 (twenty years ago) link

I start a thread about confession, and all the Americans and Poms do is turn it into a thread about what they hate. Whine, whine whine, that's all they do. "Oooh, ooh, I hate the French, I hate flying, I hate myself...'

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:02 (twenty years ago) link

There! See! You sucked me in. Now I'm complaining too.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:03 (twenty years ago) link

I hate people and I can't ice skate.

I have bigger debts than anyone else I know. And I earn less money than may of them, too.

I may not actually be good at anything whatsoever.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:13 (twenty years ago) link

I'm scared of swimming in dark/unclear water in case a whale surfaces beneath me, even in swimming pools, lakes, and rivers.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:13 (twenty years ago) link

This summer, I moved thousands of miles away from my family and I feel nothing but relief for having done it.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:17 (twenty years ago) link

Care to join us for a swim this afternoon @d@ml? We're going to Shark Beach. From Shark Beach you can see Shark Island.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:18 (twenty years ago) link

Shark Island? whysoever do they call it that?

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:24 (twenty years ago) link

I confess I am one of the laziest people in the universe.

Even though I accuse Nick of the same thing, I'll sometimes bug the cats just to make them meow.

I think less of myself sometimes for not believing in God.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:37 (twenty years ago) link

You don't have to believe in God to believe in God.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:39 (twenty years ago) link

I had a cat when I was little and would sometimes grab him and hug him too hard to make him meow.

There is snow outside, yet my window is wide open.

A lot of the time I keep track of what day it is by what's on prime time TV (grr goddamn fucking Mondays). During the holidays it gets confusing.

I was thinking about New Year's resolutions and realized that I really need more vices. Maybe I'll work on that.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:50 (twenty years ago) link

hehehe i used to poke my cat when he was purring so he'd make a wheezy noise. i was a little bastard

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:52 (twenty years ago) link

Have you ever tried putting sticky tape on a cat's nose? Hours of innocent fun.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:55 (twenty years ago) link

I once cut my cat's whiskers off when I was 11.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:56 (twenty years ago) link

yes. and on their backs or tails or feet. in fact i did this to one of my kitties not all that long ago *shame*

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:56 (twenty years ago) link

Have you ever put a cat in a bike helmet and breathed spliff smoke through the holes? No, me neither.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:58 (twenty years ago) link

colin you have very curious ways of getting inspiration

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:59 (twenty years ago) link

oh yeah, you're right. I mean...oh, I can't even remember! The painkillers that have a sugary coating...er...

Apparently codeine and paracetamol (or whatever the painkiller ingredient is in this case) are impossible to blend, so it's two different halves stuck together.

― OCP (OCP), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 10:50 (twenty years ago) link

Colin, one time I happened to be snuggling a little kitty inside the zipper of my sweatshirt while we were all getting high and I kept blowing my hits down in there at it. Afterwards the poor thing made a very un-catlike comic pratfall while trying to jump up on the couch. It was adorable.

Hours of entertainment can be derived from putting a small dollop of peanut butter on the nose of a cat or small dog.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 11:21 (twenty years ago) link

i had a Vice badge on my bag for over a year without realising what Vice was

I still use my college ID that has a nearly ten year old photo on it to get discounts.

I have never seen Seinfeld.

I cry during Australian soap operas.

I tied a boy's shoelaces together at school aged 8 then denied it and the whole class was kept in.
