Flies, honey, and vinegar

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

The phrase is "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar".

What I want to know is, why do you want to catch flies? Whenever I have a fly buzzing around, I want to kill it or at least shag it outside.

you do realize that shag has an entirely different meaning in England right? [/gutterbrain]

Nitrogen DOES help tire wear - if you're driving a vehicle during the Daytona 500.

Considering air is roughly 70% nitrogen already, my god. The stupidity of people. It's like getting them to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide.

But, but, it's a colorless, odorless chemical that causes death if inhaled!



I also have tires, and while I have to check the pressure when the temperature changes drastically, I've never had to completely change the air. What an interesting concept...

I'm not even from that side of the pond, and that's straight where my mind went, too.

Ugh. I've actually gotten people with that.

And I remember a Daily Show bit where some correspondent took to the streets to stop women's suffrage. He got a lot of support from the random populace. *sigh*

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I walked right into that one, didn't I?

Oh well, at least we know where Cyphr's and Andara's heads are today.

I think this

For those not confused by my wine-assisted writing style:

might have had some to do with that

I've got to remember that! I know some people at work that I can get with it, too!

Yeah, well, so is mine! At least I've got plenty of company down here in the sewer.

Should have known!

Maybe this guy needs to f*ing get an f*ing membership with f*ing AAA so he won't ever have to f*ing worry about changing his f*ing tire again, or having to f*ing worry when the f*ing air f*ing runs f*ing out.

That's just great.

Today? It's a rare day my mind isn't at least partway in the sewer. It's more fun down here.

All you could ever want to know about dihydrogen monoxide.

Yeah, well, so is mine! At least I've got plenty of company down here in the sewer.

That you do. That you do, indeed.

um yeah, it should have been "honey than vinegar" instead of "honey and vinegar".

Sadly the problem with the air hose seems to be a leak somewhere between the compressor and the handle, so it won't be easy to fix.

I wonder if the SC's last name is Ramsay... (I've been watching Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares)

edit: I've also had mild success with raising funds to end sobriety.

Since nobody's mentioned it yet: XKCD.

Many hundreds of students at my university are already involved in this noble cause.

My uncle was involved in the Adelaide University Temperance Society. They would meet at the uni bar on Friday nights with the aim of drinking it dry so people couldn't get drunk on Saturday.

I guess tire boy was f*ed.
