Random Thoughts or Whatever

[SuperjazzyJa]

In the library right now and saw a copy of Pimple....I mean People magazine. On the cover is a picture of the Jonas Brothers with a caption that reads "They just keep getting better!" That's good. If they keep improving, some day, they'll be tolerable.

That's the thing about the random thoughts thread, , , It constantly morphs into, , , , , "whatever"....







Yay! Prehistoric lung lava, , , , with tails no less....

Why do people say “tuna fish,” but they don’t say “chicken bird”?

Fish school while chickens scatter.

You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.

SI theory on topic .
Most people lived on land since prehistory; chicken is well known and a common food. Less common are fishes. So, Tuna has to be ID as fish; otherwise, some old in lander may ask what the hail is tuner.

Security cameras. Shouldn’t they be called insecurity cameras. More and more people are putting them in their homes.

I have one friend, who actually had a reasonable case for security cameras inside his house.

He was spending a lot of time on the other side of the country, in preparation of moving out there. Having cameras inside his old house, with automatic alert for movement, was a good way to make sure there were no shenanigans going on when he wasn't there.

And when the house was up for sale- I think we lost count of the times, that a real estate agent would forget to turn off the lights- or even worse, forget to lock the door, after having a potential buyer in the house. At least with the camera, he knew when they were there, so he could ask a friendly neighbor to go check to see if the doors were all locked, afterward. Needless to say, that real estate company got fired, and he hired another one- which, after 6 months of basically no real qualified leads from the first real estate agent- the second agent had a half dozen REAL potential buyers- and had the house under contract and sold- within 2 months. And without leaving the door unlocked.

Regards,
Gordon.

Is that an American thing?

In Australia we just say Tuna.

Imagine if most people were capable of dealing in reality at the level of calling "life" insurance what it really is: death insurance! It pays out when you die.

It is a bet with the business. Business bets the insured will pay the premium for a LONG time. The insured is betting/hoping? against self

Call me crazy, but I always heard those referred to as "canned tuna" VS "tuna steak"

It's now January 4th and Panera is still playing Christmas music. It gets worse. Y'all know that extremely over played Mariah Carey tune that has been slammed upon us for over 3 decades now. Well, as I started typing this, a horrible cover version of it was playing.

Dogs seem to have more fun than cats. Some dogs even seem to have a - very primitive - sense of humor.

She recorded an entire album of Christmas songs and they only play that one. Her version of "O Holy Night" is amazing!

She's a fantastic singer, although I don't care for the music she has been singing to since her divorce from Tommy Matolla.

I have to disagree. Cats tend to be calmer than dogs most of the time, but when they get going, they easily have at least as much fun as dogs. Wanna see something really crazy? Watch a cat and a dog play together.

It's a possibility.
