accidental post party

accidental post party.... yep, flugged up I already know what 2 + 2 =

But now that I have your attention and this thread isn't going to get deleted, maybe I could use this space to air out some issues or thoughts instead of just having this turn into some kind of teenage hormonal panty raid. Gotta admit that might be fun but might be more fun to make you sit there and read a very very long and loosely connected paragraph which makes you ask yourself why did I just do that? So before you read any further you need to ask yourself if you're prepared to read any further. Well, it seems that you did decide to continue to read since you're reading this sentence right now. How did I know that? I don't. It's a trick. I'm assuming your still reading what I write. It kinda begs the question of is there a word there if it's not being read? Does a sentence convey an idea of no one reads it? Does a tree make a sound when it falls and there is nobody there to hear it? Does it make you sick to read such stupid stuff if you're smart? Does a butterfly get gas and if it does how fast would it go if it did? I mean it's a pretty small and lightweight bug and so I'm thinking it might be able to hit maybe 10 mph or something like that which would be about a 10000% increase from it's normal speed. I wonder if it's wings are designed for such speed? Would it crash and burn? Break up from the turbulance? A pre-flight checklist might not even help because I'm pretty certain that taking an anti-gas pill would not be on the list and I'm also pretty certain that nobody makes such things. Who would make an anti-gas pill for butterflys? Not much money to be made there and we all know it's about the might buck. Instead people should worry about preventing windshield cracks from butterflys traveling so fast. With the increased speed from gas, there might be a chance that it could reach windshield breaking speed and there's probably some money to made from a product that would reduce those chances because having to replace your windshield from a flatulant butterfly might become a big problem. I wonder if the glass manufactuers are secretly funding research to increase the chances of this? If so they might be able to answer the question of whether butterflys get gas. I say we should begin an email campaign to find out the answer to this question. At first they will resist such foolishness but if you follow my logic, there can be no doubt that they have such research and we will finally know if butterflys get gas!!!

Write your local senator or better yet, I'm thinking hanaeleh would have an answer.

If hanaeleh were still here, she certainly would have the answer of proper length for you, but since I haven't seen hide nor hair of her for many many months, I don't hold out hope that she would add her 2-cents worth here. Of course, her 2-cents worth is worth much more than that, which makes me wonder where the term "2-cents worth" comes from in the first place. Sometimes I use "nickel's worth", maybe because I'm sensitive to inflation, and surely 2-cents worth is now at least worth a nickel. Unless it's MY nickel's worth, then most people wouldn't give a hoot for it. We could get in to the word origins of "giving a hoot" about something, or my previous "hide nor hair" reference, but I doubt anyone gives a rat's rear about those either. Different countries have different little sayings that are funny like that ... When I was looking for a new cell phone, some of the British site reviews said that a certain phone was "the dog's dangly bits." Since the rest of the review sounded very positive, I'm assumig that they meant that to be a good thing. But since when are the dog's dangly bits a way to convey high praise?? Interesting. But then I love language and words and how people use them... even when they are strung together in long loose paragraphs of drivel that seem to be heading somewhere, but really end nowhere.

Now, I need to go find a manufacturer of stronger windshields... I'm terrified of butterflies smashing through the glass.

Mexican geneticists and micro biologists are working in conjunction with auto glass makers to make a refried bean delivery system for butterflies. But the REAL problem is moths, they only fly at night so I think the military is interested.

Sliced bread being the best invention ever? Since when did you see a guy driving baked wheat down the road? Or "hey Bill, I just got a pace maker" "Well screw that Bob, I'm waiting for my toast to pop up and the anticipation is killing me!"

BREAKING News: Overhyped item on Butterfly Gas is put to rest.
What gives them gas, also makes them burp which cancels out the extra forward momentum.

shouldn't that be "BREAKING Wind" >_>

so you're saying that when the butterfly farts it burps at the same time... so it just stays in one place? do you know if the dreams of a butterfly weigh more if the butterfly has gas?
