WhatTheBuck being gay talk not going away…

You mean like that?  

Casual bigotry on surly definitely not going away. It’s 2022 and it’s still very common to see posters here suggest that someone is gay like it’s supposed to be a slight or an insult or to bother them in some way, or use it as a synonym for something that’s stupid or bad. Like the other day when former alkie said in a game thread that taunting was the gayest penalty in all of all sports.

Why do you suppose that is? Shouldn’t adults have grown out of that by now? I had friends, colleagues, and neighbors that I liked and respected who were gay but i was still using the term “gay” to mean something was dumb. But then I realized that was just, well, dumb so I stopped doing it. That was more than 20 years ago.

Would it bother you if people thought you were gay? Do you secretly fear that you might be gay and it would be a bad thing if you were? Why did you choose “WhatTheBuck being gay talk not going away” as your snark? Because who cares? Whether you’re male or female, whether I’m gay or straight, I have no interest in having sex with you. Sorry to break it to you. So who the fuck cares? It says something about the people who that matters to.

Now I can’t help but feel compelled to gay it up with more talk about candles.

Gas pumps that ask you 15 questions when it's cold out.

The sonsabitches can play ear-splittingly loud clips from SportSCenter for a game that ended only a few hours previously, but they can't figure out how to distinguish between a debit card and a credit card without a bunch of bullshit questions.

That’s an odd statement. 

Why? You don’t think candles can be a luxury? Sure, they have a utilitarian purpose when the power goes out. Or in religious rituals. I guess there might be a little overlap between utility and luxury when dining by candlelight.

How many people do you know who own and burn candles just for purely aesthetic reasons? I’m not talking about, say, a Burberry scented candle around Christmas time. I mean day-to-day use. Light some decorative candles, have a drink (or a smoke), listen to some music. Or maybe watch a movie. I watched The Fellowship of the Ring last weekend by candlelight. That made for a nice atmosphere.

Have you ever given or received a candle as a gift? Few people think of that but everyone can find a use for a candle. And it’s often something they won’t think to get for themselves, especially a really nice one like a large pillar with three wicks. Or a set candles and stands. Try it sometime.

They also need to ask if you're using rewards, what your zip code is, whether you want a car wash or not, whether you want a receipt, and whether or not you want to save $.50 on donuts.

Fucking A.

Don't forget the prompt to choose fuel additive and the one to join their loyalty program.

And then you hit cancel thinking it's the same as "no" and it resets the pump.

That's not nearly as common as the usage here of cute slang terms for the intellectually impaired.  As a parent of a gay son and an intellectually impaired daughter, I find both offensive.  I'm just glad I don't have any kids on a sugar baby site.

You’re on an irreverent, profane, provocative messageboard focused on a university from Texas. Its current motto is “a place for broken brained assholes.”

 

I suggest that if you’re looking for progressive, inclusive, politically correct, intellectually stimulating discourse, you are in the wrong place.

The smell of scented candles makes me ragey. I have yet to find a scented candle that I consider to be an improvement over normal (i.e., non-noxious) ambient air quality. 

They make unscented candles. I don’t mind scented candles but I wouldn’t have a bunch of them burning at once. A little vanilla or cinnamon can be nice, though. And while I’ve never owned one myself, I get the seasonal bayberry thing and think those smell nice. But I tend to prefer unscented candles and I can burn incense if I want aromatics.

Dude's from Ohio, a veeeeeeery sensitive state apparently. They only burn the best couches, and sofas.  Actually scratch that, they only burn Fooooo-tons....

I'm at the office and I went to heat up my lunch in the microwave and it was already being used. However, there was no one around. The person came back about a minute after it had finished, profusely apologizing. I wasn't going to take their food out, I don't really feel like I've been inconvenienced but I was still irritated.

Wax candles in glass containers seem to be all the rage these days. I stopped into a Bath & Body Works store a few months ago and that’s the only kind of candle they had. I suppose that’s a trivial thing that makes me a little bit surly because I think a plain pillar candle is a superior product. Managed properly it has character. The way the lip melts. That’s what made Bullfrog candles so great, so distinctive. They had a softer translucent interior which allowed the glow from the flame to shine all the way through the candle, and a harder outer covering that didn’t melt as quickly, peeling back, rolling away, and kind of giving the impression of a bullfrog’s outstretched mouth as it melted down. I don’t know for sure but I always assumed that’s where the Bullfrog brand name came from. That outer lip could be twice the width of the pillar as it melted down. They looked really cool.

You’ve got to burn pillar candles for a little while at a time, like three hours or so. You need to burn it long enough to get the wax melted all the way out near the edge so the edge gets soft. Burn it for too short of a time and you’ll just build a narrow tunnel that will eventually get flooded with melted wax and smother the wick making it go out. You can burn tapers for as long as you want but a pillar requires a little investment of your time.

The best thing about this post is its brevity. That showed real restraint. Well done. Keep up the good work. 

I’m trying my level best.   But For a guy who doesn’t like long-winded, poorly lyric’d ramblings, that riff on and on with very little payoff………you sure like Trey Anastasio a lot.   ;)

You seem to know a lot about, and prefer, phallus-shaped objects. Good for you.

It’s not for everybody, but I’m glad that in this day and age a man who likes that sort of thing can feel comfortable fondling a large cylindrical object which droops when exposed to heat over an extended period of time.

There was a time in our male culture when that sort of thing would be frowned upon, but no more.  Bravo!

I had a seizure maybe an hour ago. It was powerful enough that I needed to lie down "just in case". The waves stopped after 2-3 minutes and I felt safe standing up again. What sucks is it took the next 30-40 minutes before I could speak properly and make sense of anything I read.

I've just finished a small project for my daughter and now it's time to go to sleep... good night.

What the hell @Superhero?!?  Not trivial!  You’re a relatively young man.  Get to the hospital ASAP!! That needs to be checked out!

From today’s headlines about the NM Senator (49 yo):

“The senator started to feel dizzy and fatigued Thursday morning and checked himself into Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center in Santa Fe, Sanchez said. He was transferred to University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque, where it was determined he had a stroke in the cerebellum, which affected his balance. A decompressive surgery was performed to ease swelling, according to the release“

Have you wakened up this morning?  If so, go to the doctor to find out what happened.  If you did not wake up, shame on you for not going to the hospital last night.

Yes I’m awake. I started having seizures 6 years ago. I won’t say it’s part of my life now, but I can control it pretty well with medication and enough sleep.

Where I messed up was forgetting my medication yesterday morning and not getting enough sleep for several days in a row.

Speaking of which, I’m going to take my medication now.

Glad that you are OK but your original posting was alarming because it read as something out of no where!

Like all of the shit kickers posing with their assault rifles aren’t overcompensating for something.

Nice try.
