I'm not sure mean-spirited and unfair people have much chance with you around. As to meeting someone awesome, not likely, I will go work in a bank all by myself and then sit in my room all by myself. No one to meet. Nice thought tho.

Why sit in a room all by yourself? Go to Walmart and smile at people who don't look happy. Strike up conversations with people you don't know. Make compliments to people you admire. A man standing in line...."Cool Coat Man. I have been looking for one like that. Where did you get it?"

Or, " This is an awesome sale on Pop Tarts. I love Pop Tarts." A lady may suggest, " You are right, my kids love them too."
Speak to a cashier you see all of the time. Have a conversation about those Chargers. Do you think they'll make it to the Superbowl?

Become  familiar with the people around you. That is what I do anyways...... I find it entertaining and fun.

People at Walmart interact with my son who works at walmart, not a good idea. the looks I get from speaking to strangers in a shopping place are not worth spending money I don't have to get things I don't need.

As to Superbowl, The Vikings aren't going so it doesn't make much difference. The people in this house I live in are the reason I choose to stay in my room.

Mrs Erocse is not suggesting Lord Kat buy anything. Just hang out and look around. Walmart is only an example. She doesn't know anything at all about football. She merely reiterated something she overheard someone else say, hoping, it may be  a relevant suggestion.

Mrs Erocse wondered if she got the 3rd person correctly yet?

Mrs Erocse will be posting with Lord Kat on Suzans this fine day.

LordKAT noticed Mrs. Erocse has the third person talk down just fine. He also wants to mention that shopping and not buying make no sense. You go in, get what you need and get out. The rest just makes no sense.

It's window shopping lordkat, I don't know a lot of men who do that but there are some. It's a good way to get out of the house and be part of the world when you're bored and broke.

If common sense is common, then why do so little people have it.

Dutch donuts! hmmm.....

Better to have uncommon sense than common sense?

Or is it better to have uncommon sense than no sense at all?

Do you have to have sense to get cents?

I really need a shower, bad, but I'm really lazy and not motivated to go shower.  I probably smell.

LordKAT could go window shopping in "blokey" shops- hunting/fishing, bicycle, sporting goods, motorcycle or car dealers, etc. 
Nobody expects you to just walk in off the street and buy a 4x4 truck, for example.
You can look under the bonnet, collect brochures, check out the suspension and so forth, as if you don't know anything about the subject, but would like to try it.
Good "things guys do", research too.

Do you buy windows when you go window shopping?

Same as people advertising a garage sale

Cindy must start taking the pills again

Now this I can deal with, Harley dealer not far from me.

"Harley Dealership.....There you go Lord Kat!"said Mrs. Erocse with satisfaction.  Then she pondered for a brief moment the defineable differences in personal tastes. After a brief moment she began to ponder what she would be having for breakfast.

My nose is stuffed up. Now if only stuffed noses were able to be sold like stuffed animals.

What does occasional furniture do the rest of the time?

Where do all the coat hangers go?

Why does chocolate vanish so quickly from my cupboard?

Who am I really?

(and I'll be awarding extra points for any correct answers!)

Occasional furniture, occasionally comes into the house from the garage when needed.

Coat Hangers go to the GoodWill as they take too much room in the closet.

There is a female chocolate fairy in your cupboard that steals your chocolate in the middle of the night.

You are a really smart, caring, supportive, family member at Susan's.

Every time I see a post by The Nut Snatcher I read his name as The Nut Scratcher.

Anyone else feeling a slight itch? *scratches and adjusts*

if the only thing you can know for definite is that 'you' exist- then who are all of you?

I wonder who invented the meow mix song?

Why does nothing rhyme with orange?

Why did I have a billion things I wanted to put two minutes ago but as soon as I found the thread I forgot it all?

That's easy...you're me from the future. Now can I have the keys to the Delorean?

I have often contemplated what is it that gives crisps (or potato chips for our cousins across the pond) their essential crispisity and makes them so damn good to eat and I think I have finally discovered the answer

The Crispisity equation.


Crispicity (or C) is a measure of how good a particular crisp is and can be defined by the following equation. C = t(Ti-b)
                                                                                                                                                                         Ch²

C is a relational value between taste (t), taste intensity (Ti), Brand (b) and crunch (Ch).

The value of t is normally between 0 and 10 on a linear scale, 10 generally being considered the tastiest thing a human could put in their mouths without suffering complete sensory overload. In some rare cases t may return a value of less than zero, the best example being Walkers highly experimental (and quite possibly illegal) Bolivian Vampire Bat flavoured crisps that were actual capable rendering foodstuffs with a high t value insipid and tasteless, as demonstrated by placing the crisps in cheese and onion sandwiches. Legend has it that the phoenix, if cooked properly had a t value of 15 to 20, and could be eaten with proper training, but this has never been satisfactorily proved due to a shortage of phoenixes.

Ti, or taste intensity, is measured on an exponential scale, between 0 and 10. It is believed that it is actually impossible to return a Ti value greater than 10, indeed, there highest Ti value ever recorded was 9.6, under strictly controlled, highly shielded lab conditions. Even then the taste intensity was so great that several members of the research team we rendered unconscious whilst suffering from involuntary orgasms. The US military has invested a great deal of effort in developing scent bombs with high Ti values to incapacitate enemy soldiers, but currently the results are patchy at best.

The value of b is an inverse linear value, the closer to zero it is, the better the brand. A brand with a value of zero could theoretically put mouldy dog poo on a shelf and sell it for vast amounts of money...and people would still go away thinking they've got a good deal.

Ch, or crunch is again on a linear scale and usually sits between 0 and 10. it is possible to return values greater than 10 under lab conditions, but foodstuffs with a Ch value greater than 10 can cause serious physical damage, indeed, foodstuffs with a Ch value of more than 20 can shatter concrete to a thickness of 60cm. The US military has again invested heavily in research into high Ch value foodstuff weapons and recently started using the new spud bomb bunker buster, filled with highly fissile, high Ch value crisps.

Given the above, the perfect crisp would return a crispisity value of 1. While it is theoretically possible to get a crispisity value higher than 1, any crisp returning this would be highly unstable and incredibly lethal. This kind of speculation is best left to the various snack based weapon research facilities located worldwide.
