Not all the time, but I have managed to nest where I shouldn’t have been able to. It happens when someone’s post gets stuck at the bottom before being re-routed back to where it belongs. THEN you can sneak a nesting in.
It’s because you try harder! See, cause you have the same name as that car rental company and that’s their slogan…
*smacks self with shellacked halibut*
Agreed. You must be bleeding out or something to really want to go there. This is not for just some boo-boo. Of course, then there’s the impending bee-boo.
Dude, like, you ever done Epi-pen?
I remember this one time, woah, we went to this concert, I don’t even remember who the band was, but we each dropped like three Epi’s. It was totally kick-ass.
my mom survived cancer, and now her medical insurance refuses to pay the bills for chemo (somewhere in the ballpark of $10,000 per session, and i think she had 1 a week for the better part of a year)…
If you have to go to the ER they HAVE TO take you and accept any payment plan you d@mn well care to give them. Barring an ER-worthy illness, however, you really are on your own.
Bullshit, yearly we have cases in the SF Bay area where emergency rooms have refused admittance and the person involved dies on the way to a county health facility, or at the facility because they did not have the personnel and/or equipment to save that persons life.
I know for a distressing fact whether or not they “HAVE TO” some U.S. hospital ERs DON’T take you. A personal friend in an ambulance was diverted from a hospital near her home to another farther away, because admissions personnel thought she looked like someone who couldn’t pay.
Healthcare in the U.S. is barbaric.
And even if they DO take you, all they feel they need to do is to “stabilize” you, and then then they can boot your ass back out as quickly as they want to. So even if a hospital decides to “take” you, they are under no obligation to “keep” you.
And this is why I am very careful not to injure myself. It sucks not to have insurance. Pre-existing conditions, pfffft! If The HMOs are gonna deny me then why won’t the government help?
Oh, wait, Bush administration. Nevermind.
They are too busy subsidizing oil companies and bailing out financial institutions for making bad financial decisions. They are all for socialism, you just have to be rich to qualify.
The government also deinstitutionalized mental health facilities in the seventies, but then refused to fund promised community mental health resources in the eighties, thus vastly increasing the number of mentally ill people on the streets.
.
That’s what happens when we-the-people’s government does NOT get involved in taking care of one another.
We’re looking for music that resides in the darkest corner of the earth. I’m not up on Blur, but I’m pretty sure that band was and is still full of fail.
Arrian: “Also, I’m not a racist”
.
Arrian, just to clear things up I never thought that you were, I just added a “what if” to the conversation and it took on a life of its own via the replys.
You guys still want any sort of obscure music? Vitalic, diplo, lindstrom. electrocute, 2 many djs, ellen allien, funkstorung, boards of canada, green velvet, sander kleinenberg, chicks on speed, tiga, royksopp, orbital, laurent garnier, miss kittin if she’s with the hacker or goldenboy, richie hawtin/plastikman, radioactive man, h-foundation, justin robertson, !!!, the faint, the rapture, luke slater, mount sims, playgroup, schneider t.m., slam, squarepusher, sven vath, swayzak?
…how on earth are 2 Many DJs, Boards of Canada, Royksopp, The Faint or The Rapture obscure?! Everyone has at least heard of them!
(granted I haven’t heard of the others…)
They’re not obscure here across the pond, I guess. Very few people over here know who the Kaiser Chiefs are… Do you know what having to explain who they are is doing, doing to me?
But Rogue, only one of the groups I mentioned were British :p
The Faint are especially fantastic (and from Omaha).
Everyone has heard a Royksopp song, even if they don’t know it. They’re everywhere in TV ads etc.
Yes, m’boy, the birds and the bees! And maybe, just maybe, you might get to do it someday, too!
/*running the risk of double-posting, but what the heck!*
Wow, I did not know that. I wonder why the spores will
germinate in an infant’s stomach but not an adult’s? Also, another
good reason not to let them get dirt in there mouths as the spores
reside in soil as well.
And now I have the answered my curiosity:
.
This is partly because the digestive juices of an infant are less acidic than older children and adults, and may be less likely to destroy ingested spores. In addition, young infants do not yet have sufficient numbers of resident microbiota in their intestines to competitively exclude C. botulinum
You obviously have confused me with someone who actually
gives a rats ass.
.
And now a just as friendly rejoinder:
.
When it comes to forum or Usenet postings, as long as what I have to say is in no danger of being misinterpreted, or not understandable at all, I don’t worry about it. I use this medium as I would an informal verbal conversation and not as a graduate thesis.
.
I don’t think any of us are in danger of being awarded a Pulitzer for what we write here, and I am old enough to understand and employ the rules of grammar and spelling. This is not the place to have to worry about them though.
Sorry, truly sorry. I let a little annoyance of mine get triggered and my response was way out of proportion. The really sad thing is that my response was directed at one who least deserves such an out of line rant.
.
I apologize not only to Avis, whom I respect greatly, but to everyone else here for my being such as ass.

“What a child is doing when he puts things in his mouth is allowing his immune response to explore his environment,” Mary Ruebush, a microbiology and immunology instructor, wrote in her new book, “Why Dirt Is Good” (Kaplan). “Not only does this allow for ‘practice’ of immune responses, which will be necessary for protection, but it also plays a critical role in teaching the immature immune response what is best ignored.”
~ New York Times, “Babies Know: A Little Dirt Is Good for You”, 1/26/09
(The article goes on to mention the health benefits of exposure to parasitic worms. Some worms de-activate over-responsive immune systems, and thereby decrease allergies.)
I only enjoy comments about misspellings when it’s to flame someone making a
sanctimonious or dumbass ass of themselves, or when it’s to create something funny out of if.
.
And … it’s “rat’s ass.”
I couldn’t find it…but I’m not ashamed of my age! I very nearly died when I was 20, so I figure every year after that one is gravy. I’m on the downward slope of my mid-30s.
No I am not. That is one of the reasons that I do not get involved in the sexual innuendo, innocent flirtation, or any seriously off color conversations. It would come across as real creepy.
.
All under heaven see beauty as beauty only because they also see ugliness.
All announce that good is good only because they also denounce what is bad.
.
Therefore, something and nothing give birth to one another.
Difficult and easy complete one another.
.
Long and short fashion one another.
High and low arise from one another.
.
Notes and tones harmonise with one another.
Front and back follow one another.
.
Thus, the True Person acts without striving and teaches without words.
Deny nothing to the ten thousand things.
.
Nourish them without claiming authority,
Benefit them without demanding gratitude,
Do the work, then move on.
.
And, the fruits of your labour will last forever.
.

First Aid Win surely…
Especially if it contains bite and sting cream!
Hopefully there’s more than one epi-pen in there.
Third aid win!
*pulls out shotgun*
Where’s your first aid now?
There should be a sign above -
“If you want first aid poke nest on left with stick on right.”
You poke, you pay?
You try you die
Bee’s nest won’t nest below this First AIDS.
You fly, you cry.
Bees won’t nest below this level.
As I believe the failpic suggests, they’ll nest any damn where they please.
But not below this level!
I dunno, I’ve had luck with that before.
You sure about that?
Not all the time, but I have managed to nest where I shouldn’t have been able to. It happens when someone’s post gets stuck at the bottom before being re-routed back to where it belongs. THEN you can sneak a nesting in.
An Avis is my favorite vector.
Interesting. I’ll have to try that myself.
And Admiral . . I would have thought an attack would be a better vector for you
It depends on the calculus. You don’t want to be out of LaPlace on the battlefield.
I’m kinda curious as to why I’m always involved in the weird nesting. Is it my computer?
It’s because you try harder! See, cause you have the same name as that car rental company and that’s their slogan…
*smacks self with shellacked halibut*
And you know, I kinda wanted to see that! It does seem a bit odd to me though.
Bees won’t build right below a wasp nest!
i’m pretty sure those are wasps
Fail aid.
I think this is more a case of–”Are you SURE you need first aid?”
Agreed. You must be bleeding out or something to really want to go there. This is not for just some boo-boo. Of course, then there’s the impending bee-boo.
At least it’s not impending Boobahs!
There for a second, I thought you said boo bees.
(Where’s Sarah J been lately?)
Probably poppin’ one out.
Booooobaaaaaah….
That’s that Purple Thing from the Teletubbies that spins around and farts, right? That thing is disturbing.
Boo-Urns…. thats what they’re saying… boo urns!
Popular 90′s cartoon reference ftw!
Oh yeah, the gay one.
No, Boobahs and Teletubbies are two different creatures. (Both are equally disturbing, though!)
No you’re mistaken. Spins around and farts? THAT’S my ex-husband.
*pulls out Grenade Launcher*
OK, you want it regular, or extra-crispy?
Wrong weapon, dude. You want either a flamethrower or a Tesla Gun.
So should I call off the nuclear strike then?
*perk!*
Did someone call for a flamethrower?
*sighs contentedly*
Burn ‘em, baby!
That’s ‘burn dem bees’
I don’t care, I just want to see the world burn. XD
Okay…stand back, everyone.
*readies flame*
*takes a deeeeeeeep breath*
*jumps as a wasp flies up left nostril and accidentally swallows *FOOOOM!!!* intended for the hive*
*runs frantically around the blog with smoke shooting from ears*
*dunks head in handy bukkit o’ pudding standing nearby and heaves a huge sigh of relief*
*beats a hasty and ignominious retreat, and goes off in search of a heartburn tablet*
Prilosec or Pepcid?
How do you spell relief?
Hey, bees! YOU SUCK!!! Your opinions and views of the world are flawedand your mother is ugly! *bees successfully burned*
What the hell’s a flawedand?
It’s a species of butterfly
/sarcasm
Looks like Bees rather than wasps… so You even get honey to take your pills with
Either way it’s likely a trip to the hospital for me.
This look like a job for BEE BEARD MAN! Save us bee beard man!
Hornets, actually.
Just had to Wiki Epi-pen… awesome idea.
Dude, like, you ever done Epi-pen?
I remember this one time, woah, we went to this concert, I don’t even remember who the band was, but we each dropped like three Epi’s. It was totally kick-ass.
First Aid Warning:
Above comment is meant solely as humour.
Lousy humour, yes.
Please do NOT abuse your Epi-pen(s).
My brother once dealt with a situation like this using flying insect killer, he didn’t do that again!
Oh well, this is nice.

In Capitalist America, nobody cares.
In Friendly Canada, it’s free!
In Proper England, One does not complain.
In Stoner Holland, not much gets done
In Corrupt Brazil, it doesn’t work.
In rainy Wales, we blame the English.
In sunny Spain, the rain stays mainly in the plain.
In desolate middle east, we declare Jihad on your first aid!
In very nice place Kazakhstan, industry best in the world
NICE! *Borat Voice*
I can have Sexy times with you?
I like!
Nice, nice, how much?
In Ireland… we drink.
In Norway, we envy you.
They produce the best pottassium, all others producers are inferior
In America, fast food truck driving chicken yee-ha John McCain.
And all of these diverse places have one thing in common: soviet russia jokes FAIL in all of them.
In soviet russia, jokes are disappointed in you.
in Mexico we steal America’s jokes.
In Poland, we wrestle polar bears on the streets.
Because there are sooo many polar bears in Poland, heh.
In Soviet Russia, joke ruins YOU!
best joke I heard all day
back to america,we bomb your country for jihads
In the jungles of South Africa, the lion sleeps tonight.
In Nigeria, I scam you.
In Oktoberfest Germany, I prost you!

In Suffolk England, I bore you.
In Suffolk England, my mother gives birth to me.
Ditto! – we must be like cousins or something!
In Sunny Mexico, it’s about time to take a nap…
In Imperialist Japan, all your base are belong to us!
In Australia, they just threw another shrimp on the Barbie.
In Antarctica, we found another Stargate.
In California we… oh look a shiny!
In Philippines, the MILF speaks.
On Hera, there’s a rocky valley where we lost a war.
On Thera, there was a rocky mountain blown sky high.
There aren’t any jungles in south africa, o smart one
South Africa is where the song originally came from, o false idol.
(False idols wont nest below this level.)
How about true Idols
how about Billy Idol?
Or Billy the Kid?
Or Billy Whizz?
Or Captain Kidd?
Billy Idol gets it. Why doesn’t she?
Or Captain America!
I prefer Karan S’jet myself.
Captain America’s dead, man.
Bill the Cat?
thppt ACK
Captain America is not dead! I re-animated him and keep him in my cellar.
American Idol?
Only for the idle.
You mean Eric?
You throw me the whip!
I throw you the IDOL!
Before the cream sits out too long, you must whip it!
Whip it good!

HAHA. YOUR ALL GAY,
Was that a reference for my benefit?
Yep!
Where’s the eppie pens?
I sense Eppie pens envy.
Eppie pens stuck.
Are you epicureous?
My epipen is stoic.
That’s not what she said.
*hands Fuzz a trojan*
In Capital America, there’s no public health.
Ha Ha .. what do you think 911 and the medicare is?!
whatever it is, it’s not PUBLIC health, If you have no insurance, you’re as good as dead.
U.S. Health Plan = Don’t Get Sick
-Some bumper sticker
How true. (Unfortunately.)
Truth, you has it.
that’s my plan *cough* o shit…
You have obviously never worked in the health industry or the EMS sector of a major US city.
You obviously haven’t seen the aftermath of what happens to those who can’t pay their over-inflated bills. Corporate medical america fail.
my mom survived cancer, and now her medical insurance refuses to pay the bills for chemo (somewhere in the ballpark of $10,000 per session, and i think she had 1 a week for the better part of a year)…
What excuse did her insurance company give?
And what company is it so I know to avoid it?
It doesn’t matter, Raelalt. All companies are the same.
You have obviously always had insurance. Yes, there are clinics, but you get what you pay for.
Indeed, and in the “free clinics”, what you get is inconsistent treatment, misdiagnosis, and rude service.
Don’t forget malpractice.
And herpes.
Hep C, too.
Thank god my folks help out with medical bills!
I never want to have to go to a free clinic.
I met my wife at a free clinic.
ghehorg, classy, very classy
Well you know. singles bars are just sooo tacky.

More than one case of an ambulance dumping sick homeless patients on the street in the cover of darkness has been reported.
And this is why I am very careful not to injure myself. It sucks not to have insurance. Pre-existing conditions, pfffft! If The HMOs are gonna deny me then why won’t the government help?
Oh, wait, Bush administration. Nevermind.
They are too busy subsidizing oil companies and bailing out financial institutions for making bad financial decisions. They are all for socialism, you just have to be rich to qualify.

That is what happens when you get government involved.

Sarah Mason has/had a wonderful voice and wrote some beautiful songs.
. . . As I have no idea who that is, I’ll just go back to listening to Frank Klepacki.

I was told non mainstream… I think that was recorded in 1995… and probably sold a few thousand copies tops.
I know of Sarah Mason… she recorded a cover of a song with one of my favorite bands.

They’re not obscure here across the pond, I guess. Very few people over here know who the Kaiser Chiefs are… Do you know what having to explain who they are is doing, doing to me?
*there across the pond
I’m ashamed to admit that the only I had heard of was Orbital (I even have a CD).
I’m not at all ashamed to admit that I haven’t heard of any of them.
So neener! :p
Thanks for posting that, because I hadn’t heard of any of them either, and I felt like a real loser.
I’m never ashamed of my ignorance. Ignorance is curable.
I like that. You could easily add a second line:
Stupidity is terminal.
That is, indeed, the second half of the equation!
Ok, not all of them are obscure, thinking back. But damn, I miss radio one.
As a late 20′s Brit I recognise a fair few of them – and will be adding several to my CD’s to go and find list.
Must get all my music back…
But Rogue, only one of the groups I mentioned were British :p
The Faint are especially fantastic (and from Omaha).
Everyone has heard a Royksopp song, even if they don’t know it. They’re everywhere in TV ads etc.

That’s one real enviromental first aid kit. Al Gore uses bees to heal his wounds.
It’s a hornets nest, not a bee’s nest. BIG difference.
Yeah, don’t bees tend to build hives?
Yes they do. I’ve been stung by those ba$tard$ there. They leave a he11 of a mark.
They don’t look anything like hornets to me. Looks like a wild bee nest.
Picture aint great though so If you know different *shrugs*
It’s a paper wasp nest. We get them quite frequently, not very aggressive but still unsettling to come across unexpectedly.
Looks like a bald- or white-faced hornets’ nest.
So weve got bald, white wasps? Ethnic diversity fail.
McCain?
He’s lost his sting.
That’s the buzz.
It’s no debate that politicians who bug you with their grandstanding campaigning ploys won’t nest below this level.

There, happy now?
(Alaskan governors won’t build nests below this level)
But dragons will be happy below this level!

Yes, to bee honest.

Actually, that’s there for the geriatrics. Bee venom is used to treat arthritis.

I thought Lion with Bees was the name of a band Ive never heard of.
Maybe they’re one of those non-mainstream bands Avis likes.

and every time it barks the bees shoot out?”
Wow, the boy scouts are getting a bit hardcore for a fun summer camp type of setting.

…is that you offering to comfort me with a meat snack?
I don’t think “trimster” has a meat snack…
Why is it that when I see the name “trimster” I immediately think of hamsters?
That’s not where my mind went…
I can’t explain it. It just is.
Seconded like hell. *shudder*
But bees are cool! Look what they can do!
apitherapy.com
But I’ve never been stung by one, so I’m biased.
Here’s a question, are people who are allergic to bees allergic to honey? And if not, why not?
Honey is actually sterile, I think anyone can have it except infants? Maybe.
Honey will not spoil, that much I know. I don’t know why babies can’t eat it.
Probably because of the high sugar content.
Because certain types of honey can be contaminated with a form of botulism that is harmless to adults but potentially fatal to babies.
Ohhhhhh.. That explains it. You learn something new everyday, here.
Wow, I did not know that. I wonder why the spores will
germinate in an infant’s stomach but not an adult’s? Also, another
good reason not to let them get dirt in there mouths as the spores
reside in soil as well.
Ummmmm… “their”. Just a friendly reminder.
He was so caught up in the passion of learning that he done plum fergot what he already knowed!

Raelalt is a keeper.
But, as long was we’re talking dirt…
“What a child is doing when he puts things in his mouth is allowing his immune response to explore his environment,” Mary Ruebush, a microbiology and immunology instructor, wrote in her new book, “Why Dirt Is Good” (Kaplan). “Not only does this allow for ‘practice’ of immune responses, which will be necessary for protection, but it also plays a critical role in teaching the immature immune response what is best ignored.”
~ New York Times, “Babies Know: A Little Dirt Is Good for You”, 1/26/09
(The article goes on to mention the health benefits of exposure to parasitic worms. Some worms de-activate over-responsive immune systems, and thereby decrease allergies.)
I only enjoy comments about misspellings when it’s to flame someone making a
sanctimonious or dumbass ass of themselves, or when it’s to create something funny out of if.
.
And … it’s “rat’s ass.”
damn, you are asking for if.
dilly diddle — if i wanted your fineass ass to butt in, i’d say so there!
.
so there!
Please don’t phrase your queries in the form of an essay question. I am in high school, after all, and you don’t want a five-paragraph answer.
Now I feel old.
Geezer.
*ducks*
*glowers*
You’re the same age, give or take a year or two!
I think.
Heeeeeeeeeee…
I know. It’s just so much fun to do that.
Old people are so funny!
*ducks and covers*
Oooh, you are SO cut off! :p
Singe him! Just a little though.
It was just a joke. I’m really, really, really, really sorry.
(I don’t really know how old you are, and I know it’s impolite to ask a lady her age.)
I know it was just a joke, that’s why it’ll only be a singeing.
If you click on my name, you’ll find out my age. It’s in there somewhere…
I feel like it may take a while, but I’m going to find it, because I’m just that dedicated.
I couldn’t find it…but I’m not ashamed of my age! I very nearly died when I was 20, so I figure every year after that one is gravy. I’m on the downward slope of my mid-30s.
Ah, I’m looking forward to hearing a lot of life wisdom from you. I’m a month and two days from the mid-point of a decade myself.
So you’re what…15?
I’m pretty sure it’s in there somewhere, but I’ll go ahead and spare you the search. I’m 33.
I teach High School English, remember? I’ll be 25 next month.
Hee…that’s what I figured. I was just funning ya.
The kind of humor I’d expect from someone older and wiser… well, older anyway.
:p
Children, children. Don’t make me have to stop the car!
If they’re children, then I’m not even born yet…
(Psst.. compared to me they are)
You’ve gotta be kidding.
No I am not. That is one of the reasons that I do not get involved in the sexual innuendo, innocent flirtation, or any seriously off color conversations. It would come across as real creepy.
.
It doesn’t, really, you know. I’ve always gotten a smile from your sweet little “admiration” posts.
Me too. For what it’s worth.
“Age ain’t nothin’ but a number”
Act your shoe size, not your age!
As my shoe size is only 8, are you sure that’s how you want me to act?
Hm… perhaps not.
Raelalt, you’re kinda turnin’ me on.
I think I’m going to make myself scarce. This might turn ugly.
For the record, Realalt, I was merely joking. My posts are not exactly high-brow.
Ooh, my shoe size is 10! I’m more maturer than you are! Neener! Pllbbbt!
*sigh*
That was lovely timing.
S’ok timing
And I’m drinking Low(en)brau, Avis.
And that means you also have a bigger penis, dragon!
…yep, definitely a mature conversation we’re having.
I wear size 13 shoes.
Krusty? I thought you were one of the Simpsons.
I guess for the same reason we can eat rattlesnakes.
Ah. The “venomous” vs. “poisonous” thing. Good point.
yall ARE GREAT!!!
YCBNYH
Gesundheit.
funny… my injuries got worse than to get better.
WHATS WRONG WITH THIS THING?!
For the life of me, I can’t figure out what “got worse than to get better” is supposed to mean.
WHATS?
WASSAMATTA UNOGOTBETTA!?
UGOTTAGETWORSAFORUGETBETTA!
MEESAJAHJAHBINKS!
I do not, repeat, do not want to know what “THING” he is referencing.
inb4lock
what lock? this isn’t a thread.
Wow. That is one superlative fail.
I guess all the other fails can just go home today.
But if there were no other fails, then how would we know it was superlative?
All under heaven see beauty as beauty only because they also see ugliness.
All announce that good is good only because they also denounce what is bad.
.
Therefore, something and nothing give birth to one another.
Difficult and easy complete one another.
.
Long and short fashion one another.
High and low arise from one another.
.
Notes and tones harmonise with one another.
Front and back follow one another.
.
Thus, the True Person acts without striving and teaches without words.
Deny nothing to the ten thousand things.
.
Nourish them without claiming authority,
Benefit them without demanding gratitude,
Do the work, then move on.
.
And, the fruits of your labour will last forever.

“it’s like i don’t care what we call it …
let’s “get on with it”—
Okay, I admit it — I just want to be able to go home today.
