In the bathroom stalls here there are posters that read "Republicans would be the first group of people to take away your freedom to poop. Vote for X, a democrat."

This is the dumbest fucking... gah!

"A vote for Republicans is a vote for incontinence"

[kaijyuu]

Think how stifled your freedom to poop already is! You can't just poop anywhere provided you clean it up afterward; you have to do it in designated areas, hidden behind walls.

All these public indecency laws are tainting our ability to actually act human.

Watching big bang theory
"Hey do you have any books on making friends?"
"Well yes but they are all for little kids"

Me: "Really? There are tons of adult books on making friends, it isn't even an obscure self-help topic. This sure would be more funny if it wasn't so stupid"

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Maybe they just don't have a good self-help section. I know a lot of bookstores refuse to stock gaming books beyond Hoyles Rules of Games and some sudoku and crossword pads, because of a misguided intellectual elitism. I actually had a bookstore owner reply "we don't have those kinds of books" with a snootiness you would expect if I requested a plate of deep fried Twinkies at a 5-star restaurant.

And let me tell you, it was not a 5-star bookstore. Shit was hella lame, their bookstore cat was mangy and tattered, plywood shelves, huge expired encyclopedia section.

I lived all but next door to that bookstore for years and only went in a couple times. Should tell you how mediocre it was.

[Neonivek]

No the implication of the show is that "making friends" is a hilarious thing for an adult to look for a book on because "Only children would want books on making friends".

Otherwise yeah. You are right it would make sense for an ordinary book store not to have it.

Honestly Big Bang Theory is weird in that sense. Anything even SLIGHTLY outside the norm is made to be some sort of alien or "wrong" thing.

Which is only weird because it is a show where the main characters are supposed to be extreme stereotypes... So it isn't like they don't have anything outright outside the norm to make fun of.

Just what. Game Theory is advanced mathematics and statistics! I have an old Soviet manual on it that has more formulae per page than the integral calculus manual! Intellectual elitism? "We don't stock those kind of books"? THAT PIECE OF SHIT BETTER START STOCKING THEM OR PREPARE ITS CLOACA FOR THE SHOVEL HANDLE BLARGRHRGEHRHRH!

* Avis is in a frothing fit of murderous rage!

I'm not entirely sure they had any cloaca but I can check.

I harbor a secret belief that really, really stupid people have cloacas in the middle of their faces, which they use to excrete words. I mean, having a honest-to-God anus should be a privilege, not a right.

It's not Game Theory, just a handbook of rules for a bunch of various games.

...really?

* Avis shuffles behind a wardrobe, completely embarrassed for what, the third time today?

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Yeah I meant that I went in looking for D&D etc. types of books, and any used bookstore will generally have a good 50% chance of having at least a little shelf for them.

Hoyle's Rules of Games is just a book of rules for old games like Chess and Darts. I have a copy but have not read it yet.

@Avis: It's okay, we all have bad days.

[Avis-Mergulus]

@Avis: It's okay, we all have bad days.

Thanks. But I have good days. Sometimes. The rest are bad.

[Frumple]

I have no idea what I have done, but somehow, some way, what I have just cooked tastes vaguely of cinnamon. There is no cinnamon in this food. It's ramen, mixed with black+lemon pepper, pepperoni, cheese, and some instant mashed potatoes.

It tastes of cinnamon. There is no cinnamon. What have I done‽
