Affray

Bing's one thing, but most people I know still use internet explorer on their pc. I doubt they know there's an alternative. And it almost makes me sick to call that ‘thing’ on the 360 a browser.

I was working the other day and a guy came in to my shop to get a shirt embroidered in several locations.
He had to give me the logo he wanted digitized, so he had to log in to his company's website to get the original artwork from their gallery.
I already had Firefox open on the computer because I was doing my Etsy stuff, so I opened up a new tab and said "There you go.".
He sat down and just stared at the screen for a few moments without doing anything.
He then said "I thought you opened up the browser?"
I said I did, that was it, just type your website in to the address bar and away you go.
He started at the new Firefox tab for another moment, then went down to the start menu, found Internet Explorer, and opened it.
Then he says "Ah, there it is, looks like you didn't have the internet open after all."

I almost choked him to death on the spot.
I only let him live because I had yet to get his money for the job.

I can understand, even if it is stupid, if someone prefers Internet Explorer because it is all they have ever known and they fear change.
I cannot get my head around how a person can be alive today and be that oblivious of something so rudimentary.

I did this and twelve months later I was an agnostic. xD

I stand firmly in the belief that anyone who seriously questions their faith in the 21st century will eventually flee their religion or at least the organised version of it. Before I became agnostic I spent the last six or so months were the Catholic church probably wouldn't even accept me as one of their own.

I think that the organization of any religion is usually what sullies it's core purpose.
A belief system is all fine and good, but as soon as you put all those like minded people in a single building they tend to get taken advantage of by their organization, or they become elitist.

Both of which defeat the purpose of any religious institution, which is to spread their own special brand of belief around as far as possible.

As for your situation, aren't the Catholics all about the forgiveness thing?

Welcome.

This forum is a pretty good frum for pretty much any topic you wish to converse about.
You should find what you need here.

you're in the right place, I love horrow.

Hes alright, I wouldn't say I love him.
Although Rick Horrow does have a winning smile.

Hahaha yeah I thought of that when I got off last night. I was thinking "Wow I'm probably getting annoying with that!" hahaha

Annoying, no.
The world needs more Kevin Sorbo in it.
Always.

Dragons love goats.

I hope some random person views this topic and sees that post first.
They would be forced to stick around because of how simply awesome it is.

Im glad that I am not the only one that thought of him immediately.

Haha, that's why I said pseudo-pacifist, the only thing that is going to get me to fight is if I'm seriously about to die or if one of my family or friends are. You could drop a bomb on my house and I'd turn the other cheek but if you killed my brother in the explosion then I would hunt that person down and saw their limbs off with a rusty fucking pen knife.

Only an Englishman could make an act as vulgar as that sound fancy.

Yeah, going through again, I can't pick out any one ingredient that doesn't taste amazing with its two closes neighbors(except maybe the pickled okra...never had pickled okra before...)

I also arrived on the three tier conclusion.
It is almost like a tactical dip that you have to pick your shots on before you partake.

Your Canadian mac and cheese is strange and wrong!

The French throws non-Canadians off.
So do all the vowels we use.

but at least we will know she swallows right?

I assume all women who are willing to do those things swallows.
It is common courtesy.

Oh Maury, I wonder if he sleeps well at night, or if he tosses and turns wondering where those babies daddies are.

There is nothing I can say about this but FUCKING WOW:

Awesome for her.

I can't imagine the pain that would be involved in shooting skittles out of my penis.
I highly doubt it would be as fun as that guy made it out to be.

Also, I'm pretty sure she would be obese and diabetic after not too long.

Brother!!!!

Canada would be the best place for me him to hide out.
Who on Earth would suspect a Canadian of being Lucifer?

She is a hot blonde who can literally fold herself in to a basketball sized contortion.
How is that not the hottest thing ever to be in a video game.

The thing about Holmes, as with so many other heroes in different ways, is his incapability of having a "normal" life. Apart from say Spidey, who has to protect those he loves, Sherlock doesn't want a life different from the one he has, or be something else than what he is. But there is a very dark side to Sherlock, that I found when reading him almost endlessly for about a year. When you read him you begin to act like him, develop amateur versions of his capabilities which is Awesome because it can actually be done! But I found that it's easy to also begin feeling a bit like him, question social capabilities and need for "superficial relationships and conversations". What I'm getting at is that Holmes is one of the heroes whose powers are actually possible in our world to achieve. And that "reality" of him, is probably his best quality, at the same time as it makes it questionable to want to be like him - in case one would actually start becoming like him.

The fact that he is only human does tend to make him easier to relate to.
Instead of wishing you could lift cars up over your head, you wish you could have a vast understanding/recogntion of the world around you.
Which as you said, is quite possible to achieve.
Quite a few people have eidetic memories (or some variant of that), the ability to judge a person on a million details that they don't even know they are showing, and boxing. Also heavy drinking and possibly having asperger syndrome.

So it isn't very far off from possible to actually become something close to Sherlock Holmes, if you try hard enough at it.
