OT: Who gets the last word?

[nafnikufesin]

No, I mean what's 15 miles? When are you Yanks going to switch to metric?

So, last night, I went to a BBQ at a friend's place. My husband made some blue margaritas that were a little too strong. The evening did not end well for my stomach. Or the floor of my friend's bathroom which got an encore appearance of my dinner.

Here's an illustrated version:

[MikeyBong]

Hey remington69, what's with all the pills on the shelf? You got any vicadin?

 

[nafnikufesin]

Or maybe some Viagra for hubby?

 

[remington69]

Hey remington69, what's with all the pills on the shelf? You got any vicadin?

They're not mine. I was at a friend's house. Maybe his viagra?

Actually, i think they are the dog's pills.

 

[nafnikufesin]

The dog uses Viagra?

Thanks guys.

It has been a shitty year for me, that is for sure. I had to help my friend move Ben's stuff out of his house yesterday. He was supposed to move in with my buddy in a week and would have lived just down the road from me. He didn't leave a note or anything and seemed very excited about moving into Lansing. There was no indication that he was depressed or upset. Which makes it even more confusing. His mother was out of town the night before and when she came back, she found him laying dead on her swing in the backyard. It's just so fucked up. I keep going from being really angry to extremely sad. . Sorry if I am bumming people out but I don't really want to start a thread and have a bunch of asshole newbies commenting in it. The forum regulars is the only opinion that I give a shit about. This is his obituary

Benjamin Alan Miller
26, was born August 5, 1979 at St. Lawrence Hospital in Lansing, MI. He lived most of his life in Charlotte, graduating from Charlotte High School in 1997. Ben enlisted in the Air Force, serving 4 years. He served during the war in Iraq in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. He was currently attending LCC with plans to teach High School English. Ben is survived by his loving parents James and Martha, sisters Mary (Ron) Strobel, Christine, Laura (Greg) Bulson, brothers; Jim (Pam) Miller, Mark (Tina) Miller, and Scott Miller, special friend Nadiyah Ameen and her daughter who he loved as his own. He also will be missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends. Ben, a self-described iconoclast, was able to give his humor and charm to so many who will never forget him. Visitation will be held 1:00-3:00 PM, and 6:00-8:00 PM. at Pray Funeral Home. Funeral services will be 10:30 A.M., Thursday, July 6th at Peace Lutheran Church with Chaplain John Burow officiating. Memorial contributions may be made to Disabled American veterans

That picture cheered me up a little. Looks like you were having a good time

When you stop pouring the mayo over the goddamn fries
Also "a mile (miles)" sounds more romantic. When you say "Miles and miles away", it sounds more poetical than "kilometres away". There goes also "... Your hand in mine, We walked a mile...". As well as " I'll give you every inch of my love...", instead of "every 25.5 mm of my love"...
Just kidding, the Metric System does seem to be more logical, despite being developed by French.

 

[remington69]

MyHatred- i don't think you can rationalize the thoughts of someone who decides to take their own life. My husband and I went through a similar thing our freshman year of college. A good high school friend of ours took his own life out of the blue. Eric never seemed depressed, had a great family, lots of friends, and was doing well in school. I guess in his mind, though, things weren't well.
Just try and focus on the good things about your friend. It'll help you get through this.

 

[MyHatred]

No, you can't rationalize something like this. It's just very confusing and sad. The one thing he would have been happy about; is that this tragedy has brought our circle of friends much closer to each other. He was an awesome person who I am extremely grateful that I got to spend so much time with. He was one of the people I went up to Muskegon with a few weekends ago. We had SO much fun and it is definitely going to be a memory that I won't ever forget. His funeral service is going to be tough to get through tomorrow

He was active with helping veterans so we are trying to figure out something we can do that he would be proud of. He was also a big fan of our band and was almost always at our practices when we would be jamming and writing. So it has been discussed that we will try to write a proper song that would capture everything he liked about us. It is just going to take some time before we do that. The wounds are to fresh to try and do that right now. If we can write something we all agree on and record it, it will be posted here.

uke: Hey, don't look at me. That's not something we do around these parts. So we've done our part and stopped doing it. Your turn.

I wish we would switch to metric. And Celcius. Would make trips to the pediatrician easier for me, and I wouldn't have to come home, get on here and ask everyone what the hell they told me at the office. Would make life easier at work, too, with "0" being freezing, instead of "32". Then again, Arizona would then lose the ability to tell everyone it was 110 yesterday....

I find it much more disturbing that England doesn't have ice cream cake.

Hey rem, how's your head today?

 

[remington69]

Hey rem, how's your head today?

Surprisingly, my head didn't hurt that much. My stomach, on the other hand, feels like shit still.

At least you know when it's -40 degrees, it doesn't matter if it's Celcius or Farenheit, you just know it's friggin' cold.

I'm pretty sure if Arizona hit -40, regardless of which thermometer we're using, we're into the next Ice Age and we don't have to worry about learning the metric system anymore because we're all dead. Or frozen in a block of ice, to be thawed out by Pauly Shore's hairdryer at some point in the future...
