Be Excellent To Each Other

You get much better evacuation by doing that.

It was almost daylight when I left Kern Hall at the usual time this morning, which always makes me feel better. Now looking forward to the moment when I leave the office and there's stil some light. Not long to go now!

It's the colour and consistency check, just like when you've had a shit.

The lost treasure of the Sierra Mardre

For the first time in ages there was actually some daylight when i left this morning !

Spring is on its way (or at least it'll be here in 3 months :-(

(First day of spring = 20th March)

To see if the mucus is infected. If it's gloopy and lurid green then you're ill. If it is clear then you're fine.

I blow my nose loudly in public a lot, due to my shitty sinuses.

Currently reading 'Bossypants' by Tina Fey.

I love her so much.

The Sidney Opera House? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the savannah?

open top, zero edge aquarium

I bet someone has tried to put a cup of tea on that.

They appear to be ignoring the concept of evaporation, there.

They employ a person to add a teaspoon of water every hour to keep up the level.

And the concept of cats.

Sort of relatedly, I saw this yesterday (the webpage, I didn't go to Singapore)

Thats all very pretty, but when you're on the edge of the pool, you see the ledge 12 inches below you with a railing that goes forward 10 yards, and the effect is kind of lost. The experience of an infinity pool is always far better in the well positioned photograph than in reality.

The same is true for eHarmony.

Those photographs make me feel very queasy

That's exactly where Plissken was the other day. Better at night, apparently.

There will be a small buffer tank underneath that the overflowing water drains into before it is pumped back in, so you'd have a surplus of water to make up for evaporation, and spare volume for expansion.

Not much you can do about cats apart from electrifying the water slightly.

Because he's more relaxed?

You could not own cats?

How can you not own cats?

To be honest I'd be more concerned about fish jumping over the edge.

Blowing your nose in meetings...?
Unavoidable I would say, if you've a bad cold (and assuming you cannot get out of the meeting on that basis).

Me? I find it infinitely preferable to have someone give their nose a reet good and proper blow (and consequently, shut up for a few minutes), rather than having the alternative of listening to them repeatedly sniffing down/swallowing snot every 30 seconds or so. Now that is disgusting in my book.

Relatedly, I can't stand it when people sit in the steam room or sauna at my health club for a good 5-10 minutes, then proudly announce the fact that they've the 'flu and they're "sweating it out". Yeah, thanks for that, sure the rest of us really appreciate unknowingly breathing in the 'flu virus in a confined, public space!

I was thinking more about having a nice damp living room.

Oh, aren't most aquariums open topped? Maybe I'm thinking of fish tanks

An aquarium and a fish tank are the same thing - and no, they're not usually open topped.

Did not know that. How do the fish breathe then?

The smaller of my tanks is open-topped, bar a makeshift lid I made. It loses an awful lot of water through evaporation.

Because they think it's an infinity pool with a ledge 12 inches below with a railing that goes forward 10 yards?

They're not usually airtight, but they're covered. It's also fairly common to have an airstone that pumps air from outside the tank, or put real plants in the tank.

Fish breathe underwater.

Racist.

Last night while trying to get to sleep I came to a horrifying realisation. I've never seen a chimpanzee have a shit. Or any ape for that matter.

Try YouTube and you can see one eat it as well.

Bah videos, I mean IRL. And I've spent a good few days watching chimpanzees too.

The shit constantly, molecule at a time.

This could turn into a very weird game of "I have never..."

Hang on, was that The Cavey? Why is everyone ignoring that? Did I dream those comments? What the hell is going on?

You're not wrong.

I went and fetched him.

You've picked your sweepstake date, right?

Harsh but fair, I guess.

In appropriate order:-

'Tis I, sir. Hello.
I'm used to it.
No.
Fork knows.

I've seen an orangutan shit.

Are hard drives back to normal prices yet?

No?

GODDAMNIT.

Awesome. I think I have a new life goal.

That sentence had a smiley on it in my head.

I've never seen a rubber band.

Is the phrase 'bat shit mental' because it runs up themselves when they're resting?

Bat guano has a madness-inducing parasite in it, or something.
