Friday Night gibberish...

[Littlemeyer]

We had a similar thread about two or three months ago that went pretty well. I'm stuck here until 2:00 am central time, so any random thought, pointless trivia, or otherwise mundane post will be GREATLY appreciated!

-- I still say DIET Mountain Dew Code Red is the greatest invention ever. Where does it hide its calories? I mean, it claims to not have any, but how can something that tastes so good not have even ONE calorie???

-- Did anybody see that ABC "Primetime" show this week that had the man on there that had his TWIN (:shock:) inside his stomach? That was pretty disgusting...

-- Our high school football team opens its 2006 slate tonight against our border rivals. I'm supposed to be there as an assistant coach. Thank you work!

-- It is GREAT to see Delkfor3 back on this board.

-- NBC showed three episodes of "The Office" last night. The one where Michael Scott thinks he and Jim are best friends was probably the best one, and might even contend for best episode of the season. (What's up, Jim-Bag?) :D

Feel free to add anything you'd like, or if you'd like to argue about the merits of DIET Mountain Dew Code Red, that's fine too...

[WildcatGirl]

You invited me...The Diet Code Red does taste pretty good...but it doesn't actually have no calories...none of the Diet sodas are totally calorie free. According to labeling regs anything with less than 5 calories per serving can claim to have none. This would be the reason that a "serving" is 8 oz. even though you rarely still see an 8 oz container for sale. Because if they made a can (which is 12 oz.) a 'serving' then they might end up having to put a calorie count on them. The average 8 oz diet drink actually has 3 calories for the cola flavored ones and 4 calories for the fruit-type ones.

[Littlemeyer]

:lol: Well, so much for that! I knew there had to be a secret! Thanks for the tip, and thanks for shattering my calorie-free fantasy...:cool:

[WildcatGirl]

sorry to burst your bubble...on the bright side 4 calories is much better than the 200+ for a regular.

I'm paying bills right now. :( Why do the payment stubs always have a line that ask you to fill in the amount enclosed? :?:shrug:If Ifill out that line that $1,000.00 is enclosed, but only write my check for $48.00 are they actually going to record a $1,000.00 payment? :rolleyes::?

[Will Lavender]

The commercials are louder than television shows. Why? WHY?

You know what I hate? EMO bands that have these whiny, girlish lead singers screaming their 8th grade poetry lesson lyrics three inches from the microphone. What happened to honest-to-god rock music?

Why do they show crap on TVfriday nights? Do think we are ALL out partying and socializing or what?

[Littlemeyer]

5:48 to go in the 2nd quarter...in a shocker, the underdog Rockets are leading our border rival Caldwell Co. Tigers 21-14! Could be a ticking time bomb...they have 55 players to our 30. Conditioning will be a factor...

Good point about Friday night TV. I can't remember the last show I ever wanted to stay in and watch that night.

Best Honest-to-God Rock 'n Roll album in the last five years...Foo Fighters' "One by One". Second best...Foo Fighters' "In Your Honor"

Yep...they don't realize that for many of us we party and socialize on WCN WHILE watching TV:ggrin:

I didn't say the show was worth watching, just Jan.

BTW, I once got a call from the Nielson people but I was at work so they wouldn't let me participate.

[Littlemeyer]

I want to be a Nielson family. How does one go about becoming a Nielson family? Do you have to be asked by them? From 1daysoon's post, it sure sounds like it.

Tell the dog before you go to bed tonight and you are both getting up early tomorrow to go on a 5 mile run. That should get you sleep until noon.

I really love candy bars. I mean, I really, really love candy bars.

Every time I eat one, though, I hear my grannie's voice in the back of my head, "Those things are dirty!"

She claimed that candy bars are unsanitary. As proof, she told a story about someone she knew eating a Mars bar once and a worm crawled out of it.

I love candy bars. I don't much care for Mars, though, for some reason.

I shouldn't have said that. I was angry, and I took it out to wrong way. I don't mind candy bars...especially the new Reese's Fastbreak.

[1daysoon]

We have come to a milestone. This is my 100th post. I joined about 14 months ago so as you can see I'm not much of a conversationalist. I believe that if you can't improve on the silence, don't say anything.

I wish I had some incredible insight to share in this milestone moment but the only thing I can think right now is...

Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so. :lol:

I've had that song in my head for about an hour. That's what happens when you teach 3 year olds Sunday school.

Good night all. Littlemeyer, I hope you stay awake and your team comes back and puts the wheels back on.

The wheels on the bus on round and round, round and round. Oh thanks, I now have another song in my head.

Let me tell you something important about candy bars.

If there ever comes a time when you go into a store and feel the urge to buy not one, but two KING SIZE candy bars? Don't do it.

You will hate yourself FOREVER.

Just trust me on this.

Hmmm. I don't know. I'm not sure what the rule is on candy bars eaten at two different times during the day. Normally I just scarf them down one right after another. There might be some grace period where the guilt and suffering and excruciating pain you surely felt when you bought two 600-calorie candy bars will wear off.

[Littlemeyer]

PsychoCat wrote: Is your glass half full or half empty?

Well, it was half full...then I heard about Pluto no longer being a planet. Then MLB gameday stopped working. And ESPN gamecast will not work either. And I bought two kingsize Reese's Fastbreak bars. And the Rockets are now losing 35-21.

Nah, that doesn't change anything. Definitely half-full. :thumbup

[Will Lavender]

A king size candy bar has to be, what, a half-foot long?

Plus they're about four inches thick.

You add in the Styrafoam bucket of soda and the 36-pack of chewy-candies-gummy-wormies, and it starts to get fairly obscene.

Welcome to my life.

Nope. I appreciate the offer, but I did the crime, now I'll do the time. Every bite I take, I'll insult myself and make fun of my figure. I have to teach myself a lesson. I see no other option. I HAVE to eat that second king size Reese's Fastbreak...before midnight.

Wish me luck. :thumbup

No thank you...DIET Mountain Dew Code Red for me. The hefty dose of caffeine will get me going, and the less-than-five calories make me feel pretty good about myself.

(Yeah, I'm just now having breakfast. Pretty sad.)

[Will Lavender]

About a year ago, I became addicted to Diet Mountain Dew, including its Code Red cousin.

It was a sad situation. My wife was a bit worried about me. Diet Mountain Dew for breakfast, for lunch, two for dinner. Every day.

I was a caffeine-addled mess. I Googled some clinics in the South, just to see if there was an outpatient opening somewhere, but apparently Diet Mountain Dew addictions are rising steadily alongside meth and Cracker Barrel habits. There were no spots for me.

Anyway, I started to get some hellacious heartburn. Every night. I'd wake up at 2 or 3 and feel like somebody was scrambling eggs in that tube that runs down the middle of your body.

Obviously, because of my 5-a-day DMD habit, I thought the elephantine caffeine intake was to blame.

So I weaned myself cold turkey off the Dew, and the heartburn stopped.

Occasionally I'll indulge myself. I'll stick a Dew in my pocket and take a suck like I'm pulling from a flask, with my head turned to the side so that my wife can't see. But I've cut the habit down to about 1 Dew every month or so. Worked like a charm.

[Littlemeyer]

I believe I would just have to settle for the heartburn. I am at roughly 3/day right now, with the occasional 4th and 5th thrown in when I really want to get crazy.

I did quit all soft drinks, cold turkey, once, for about 10 months. Only drank water. This was before I drank diet drinks, and at that time I was enjoying 7-8 Non-DIET Mountain Dew Code Red's each day...120-150 calories at a time. I also weighed more than I ever dreamed this high-metabolismed body could weigh. I did not change anything else...just cut soft drinks out and substituted in water...and in 5 months had dropped about 15 pounds. And felt great.

Water became my caffeine. I'd wake up at 4:30 a.m., and chug one of those BIG bottles of Dasani (refilled with Marion's finest tap water), and I swear it had the same effect that caffeine did. Or I had myself fooled into believing it did.

Anyway, that wore off. I was dragging just to get through a day at work. I refuse to drink coffee, because everybody at work drinks coffee, and they keep telling me to just wait, I'll drink coffee soon too. Nope.

Then, along came DIET Mountain Dew...and a few weeks later, we found a store here that carried DIET Mountain Dew Code Red. And here I am. If I knew how happy a lark was, I would claim to be in a similar state of happiness, if said state exceeds that of not being able to drink a Code Red. :thumbup
