Completely Random Thoughts

[Junkyard]

If you have a thought that can't be worked into any likely conversation, here's were you post it.

For instance, it just occurred to me that if I found myself travelling back in time, I'd tell nothing but ridiculous lies about the future. I just wouldn't be able to help myself.
"Oh, the Atom Bomb? Well, I guess I wouldn't like it if someone dropped one on my town, but these days we're more worried about Eros Engines. Scientists figured out to extract pure love from baby booties, and used it to construct a device that makes the Hydrogen Bomb look like a firecracker. The mad, arrogant fools!"

So uh, you'll throw just about anything down for another notch on the ol' post counter, huh?

I don't even know how he can go much farther than where he is now. Maybe he should start a civil war to make himself Emperor of the Round Table.

[Sideswipe]

If he starts a civil war, Im taking the side against him

[RobtheBarbarian]

Who wouldn't?

What, you people don't have random thoughts? I'm sorry, I'm sure there's a place where you can get help for that.

I thought that "random thoughts" was every thread for Junkyard. 

[Junkyard]

Okay... true. Still, though. Nothing rattling around in your heads?

Well, the title is "Completely Random Thoughts".  Perhaps these are the miscellaneous things he couldn't fit in anywhere else on the board? 

[Sideswipe]

Nothing but coherent, impeccably logical statement of facts streams through my data processors

Like the fact that I hate African American Jewish Hermaphrodites that stand exactly 5 ft 6 1/2 inches tall with lip rings that aren't made of pewter?  It's my one bit of racism that I allow myself.

What do they call black people who live in Brittian?  African Europeans?

I'll support this thread.  I've got a few thoughts.

No one really listens anymore.  I don't know what happened.  Maybe it's people my age or in my situation but no one seems listen.  Everybody's too involved with their own affairs that when you try to have a meaningful conversation all they can do is talk about trivialities.  When you find a person who will listen, probably a close friend or relative, they continually make analogies to their own problems trying to make it seem like they know exactly what you're talking about.  It really pisses me off.  People need to shut up every once and awhile and just let others talk.  Don't claim to have the answer, don't belittle them with your example of what they're going through, don't interupt.  That's the easiest way to listen and it means a lot.

See? Random thought that has forced me to consider how I conduct myself in day to day life.

Course' I've forgotten what he said in my haste to make a reply. Hope I haven't done anything ironic just now.

I know exactly what you mean.  It reminds me of this aimless, meandering story from my own life, which involves...

...and then I told him that fishnet stockings just don't look as sexy on a Yak.  But did he listen?  Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!
