The STC "Stream of Consciousness" Thread!!

Oh yeah, I'll start off:

Man, why do I even bother keeping other albums in my collection, when all I ever listen to is Ar-Tonelico 2??

90% of my posts on STC in the past 10 years have been like this...

...man arrested for unauthorized distribution of FAR SIDE comics... charged with grand Larsony...

I had a dream last night which involved getting eaten head-first by a goat. Sadly, this is not an abnormal dream for me.

Wait, what?
Pudding comes in CANS!?
With RINGS!?

I have never EVER seen something like that.
Every place I've ever been to puts pudding in plastic cups with an easy to tear off aluminum cap...

I am a total zombie-bitch for the Winter Olympics. Started in 2002 (when I was adjusting to college), continued in 2006 (deep in the midst of the job hunt) and here again in 2010 (comtemplating where to buy a condo). At this rate, in 2014, I'll be watching while planning my takeover of North America and in 2018, during my takeover of the entire world. The spirit of evolution in action.

Oh yeah...And I've developed a total crush on Katherine Ruetter on the US short track women's team. And Julia Mancuso pwns Lindsay Vonn (but they're both great!)

The Scumfiddler was looking for Old Man Quimbly, a man who eats skull fragments he finds in regurgitated aardvark remains. Never mind what eats the aardvarks; just hope it doesn't smell you. Now this Old Man Quimbly, he's quite the old fartenheimer, so his teeth are gone. One might wonder how he eats skull fragments from regurgitated aardvark remains. I will tell you - I have seen it. He carries around a small metal bowl and a hammer, which he uses to pulverize the skull fragments. He then collects arthropods, preferably hirsute spiders, and squeezes the contents of their opisthosomas into the bowl. Every so carefully, as to not spill the putrid contents, he slowly lifts the bowl to his toothless maw and slurps the gloopy-gloop!

I think the notation of formal logic is weird. I wonder how we can contstruct mathematical proofs without mathematical logic. But  we can't have unlimited axioms and definitions, maybe it's alright. I use Word 2007 for mathematics, is there perhaps a better option out there?

I propose the building of a gas chamber of sorts for drama queens. No poison or radiation or anything like that...Just cram 'em all into a room and let the hot air that makes up their constant whining and gossip just suffocate them.

Here's my latest "tweet" (I feel funny saying "tweet" like it's part of my regular vocabulary so I'm putting quotes around it for added comfort)..

Cranberry juice is underrated.

Seriously, it is.  Water is boring, coffee and tea have too much caffeine, all soda is crap, and many other juices taste too sweet.  Cranberry juice ftw.

I disagree. Cranberry juice tastes like balls, with it's bitter aftertaste and weird residue. For fruit juices, go grape or go home.

Here's something I've always wondered, and this has nothing to do with you Idolores, you just reminded me of it.  Whenever a person says that something "tastes like balls" does that person actually know what balls taste like or are they just assuming they taste bad?  What if balls actually have a pleasant flavor?  Let's assume this person has tasted some balls in the past and the so-called bad tasting balls they had were in the minority, and the majority of other balls out there are actually quite delicious.  For example, if you get soggy, burnt, over salted, dark brown fries at McDonald's the next time you visit, would you then start saying that bad-tasting things "taste like McDonald's fries" -- heck no, cause you're aware that you just got a bad batch and usually they're damn tasty.  Even if you've taste many many balls, who knows, maybe you're just very unlucky and haven't found the right ones yet.  Should you keep trying or just give up on your quest and come to the conclusion that every ball in the world tastes awful?  Think about that, and then when you think you're done thinking, think again.

Oh and another thing.. riddle me this.. if all cranberry juice really does taste like balls, do all balls taste like cranberry juice?

Are you going for a BS degree? And I'm not talking Bachelor of Science.

T(b)=T(c), or taste of balls equals taste of cranberry juice.

Dracula Battle doesn't have too much punch. Or anything else. I won't buy it. Unless I find it for $5.

Hegel's "Phenomenology of Mind" is supposed to be on sale, nationwide, in every bookstore in the coutry. I visited 6 bookstores today, and none of them had a single copy of the Phenomenology. It was a translated, hardcover edition. I don't want to read it. But I want people to see it on my bookshelf together with my Plato books and comment: "You read Hegel and Plato?"

I do read Plato. But I won't read Hegel. Or perhaps I will.

Edit für avatar!: I think Word 2007 uses something like LaTeX. It's easy to make formulas at least. I'll try LeX now. Or is there a better option? Thanks.

In many parts of the world (Asia, Europe, the Middle East), people eat testicles. I don't know how healthy they are, but they are supposed to be tasty, and in some cultures considered an aphrodisiac. They are often called animelles or lamb fries (the latter referring to sheep testicles). Yes, you can get these in the USA too. I personally think one reason why most Americans never hear of such things is because most Americans can barely say the word "penis" without reverting to the mentality of a 13 year old and giggling like a prepubescent teenager. Historically speaking, when people didn't eat mass-produced, highly processed shit (ie most of the American meat industry) people would actually consume nearly the entire animal. Parts such as cow tongue,  cow brain, etc were considered delicacy. Anyway...

For Grassie: I don't use Word or any such commercial program. I strictly use LaTeX, which is free, and awesome If you're doing lots of equations, I still think it's the best choice you have out there.

cheers,
