The Norwegian page is a riot!

Somehow trying to sweet talk 18 walnut chair bases to America with this kind of language won't really work...but they all speak English so it's never a problem working with Ekornes.

My headache is gone, and I will have to live with the 3-4 week delay.

Their page of Gaelic is woeful. There are sooo many more colorful phrases.

I had no idea you are a Dead Like Me fanboy, JQ!

Sweet talk 'em some other way...

Yay for the headache being gone! Boo for the delay.

I thought everyone spoke Garlic. Growing up with a lot of Hungarian cuisine I know we sure did. I'm sure the site hardly exhaustive, but you can submit entries...

Actually, I'm death fanboy, like you...?

Morning, all!

Qing ren!

Neko, not so much giving up as I am not going to bother with "the hunt"...if the love of my life is around here somewhere, it's up to her to find me for once.

Time I have almost died from something "safe"? Hmm. I think most of my near-death experiences have been brought about by weapons of some sort. Not that I live a dangerous life, just the Ren Faires and all...there were one or two nasty mistakes in choreography. Safe...near-death...yeah, I'm going to have to think on that for awhile.
I loved the bed story, though!

AbandonedCorsair, I remember seeing you a time or two, as well. Welcome back!

Gonna be another one of them days. I'll pop in when I can.
Hello to all, and here's hoping the day goes well and quickly for everyone!

Traveler..you ROCK!!! that was a fantastic story ( though I am glad you're ok HUGS)I will now happily chuckle through the day when thinking of it...if it makes you feel better, yes I've done something like that. While camping I zipped myself into my mummy bag and had to get up. Well it was cold and I didn't want to struggle back into my clothes to go get my water bottle from the car so I got the brilliant idea to simply hop over there...well I underestimated the steepness of the hill, hopped halfway up and then began a comic slidedown/hop up thing. Gravity eventually won and I really started to slide, so I decided to sit down only I couldn't bend well so I fell instead and started rolling down the hill. At which point I crashed through my cousin's tent knocking it down and tangling us both up to the point where my dad( bless him) heard the commotion came out and ( while laughing so hard tears were pouring down his face) untangled us... so now you know why my family calls me steamroller:)

Near Death from Safe: When I was three years old, I almost killed myself with a flower pot. No, really. I was really short as a child (my parents describe me as a hovering diaper. All torso, no legs), and I was trying to be helpful and put a flower pot up onto the table. It was a strain, and at the last minute, the thing rolled down my arms and brained me good. I still have a scar under my nose from where it split my face open.

Beds: I have no fear of beds. Mostly because I never tuck my blankets in. Seriously, if you're sleeping alone in your bed, don't bother. Just wrap yourself up in your blankets like a cocoon! It's warmer, and you don't have to worry about faceplanting in the morning. It's great for cold climates, but onlookers might start calling you 'The Mummy'.

Toilets: I once cut myself really good on a toilet. It was at work (at a job I seriously despised), and the lid for one of the johns had just shattered. For some reason, it'd never occured to me that shattered ceramic would be sharper than my steak knives (maybe I just have piss-poor steak knives...), and I gouged myself right good on one of the shards. Them toilets is dangerous, I tells ye!

HK: Anti-social booth? Back corner, in the shadows, next to the fragile breakables and the manacles for people you don't particularly like. (James' Sulking Corner and Gormet Coffee Shop can not be held accountable in any way for injuries accrued on the property. Be careful while breaking things)

I ain't lookin' for help from on high. That's a damn long wait for a train don't come.

HUGS James consolingly...yeah but loose sheets can lead to spider attacks ( spiders like to try and hide in my bedding or clothes to bite me...you laugh but I'm serious. 3 separate times I have put on clothes only to find a spider nesting in them which bit me)

hmmm, catching up to do....

illness: if it's just a cold or something minor, I go throughout my day in silent misery. If it is something worse, like where I can't go to class or work, I lay in bed and don't move, don't eat, and don't much of anything besides read and sleep. I do, however, drink juice or something throughout the day. Doctors are to be avoided unless the serious illness lasts more than two weeks, at which point they look at me like I'm insane and ask why I didn't come in sooner.

Where inanimate objects won a fight: A window in a restuarant attacked me. It was a floor to ceiling window that was right next to a door. Someone in the restaurant was OCD about keeping the window clean, so it never had any fingerprints on it for more than 2 minutes. We were done eating and I had just come out of the bathroom. Everyone else was waiting on the other side of the window/door. Since the window was so clean, to me it looked like a set of double doors where one was open, so instead of openning the closed door, I decided to walk through the open one, which was actually the window. I hit it so hard the entire wall shook. After that, they started putting window stickers on the windows so nobody tried to walk through it.

Or never eating out (let it go...) after being in the restaurant biz. Right RMIG? Oddly, this seems to be chain specific, like hating pediatricians but being okay with podiatrists. I know the same s

t happens at MickeyD's that does at TacoHell, but if you never worked at one it's somehow okay not to think about the backroom...

Rhyianan, , thanks for the big smile! I know it may not have been funny at the time, but there is something hi-larious about a person walking into glass. Thank you for sharing that!

JTD...ouch! Green thumb I have heard of, green nose?
Toilet shards are sharp *making a note* Thank you. Never would have crossed my mind, either!

MSG, spiders seem to love you.

Goodnight, qing ren!

JQ, I was a supervisor for a caterer/restaurant for about two years...and I also saw the movie Waiting as a documentary...and I still eat out. But I am also a phenomenal tipper and one of the easiest-to-please customers these people have ever known.
