i think mark's topless donut shop is still open...it was the daytime version of mark's showplace, which changed it's name to platinum plus a couple years ago...i don't know if the donut shop name changed too or what. i have other priorities when i go home, like DUCKFAT FRIES.

tombot, i got a question. what kind of external hard drive should i get for my music/writing files? i have the laptop and the old emac so should i get one of those wireless hard drive thingies? i don't backup shit at all which i know is very dumb
― Mr. Que, Monday, 26 November 2007 18:59 (sixteen years ago) link
TOM:
Should I get a handgun? There have been several robberies on my block in the last few months.
secondary question: if not a handgun, perhaps a shotgun? If yes, should I get a bedside shotgun rack? (http://www.the-backup.com/)

I don't backup shit either. I finally hired a housekeeper though so maybe backing up computer stuff is right around the corner! But you should avoid the Iomega Storcenter, from what I've just read about it on the internet, and also because Iomega just generally sucks. I've heard of quite a few people using Mac Minis as wireless storage solutions, I could ask my pal Josh for more info about that.

Ian: having a loaded weapon in your home just vastly increases the chances that you will die from a gunshot wound, it does not decrease the chances of being robbed to any degree. A much, much better investment would be to see about getting ADT or Brinks for your apartment or apartment building, often they will set you up for free if you agree to let them advertise on your front stoop or wherever, which of course is 95% of the deterrent anyway.

If you are worried about getting mugged, then maybe take some krav maga classes and start carrying a nightstick.

I remember seeing once a dude on rollerblades just hauling around an aluminum ball bat with him. No glove, no other sign of possibly going to participate in softball or baseball anywhere, just carrying the bat over one shoulder.

What do you do when you just want to kick back and relax?
― roxymuzak, Monday, 26 November 2007 19:18 (sixteen years ago) link
sometimes i atak rollerbladers
― jhøshea, Monday, 26 November 2007 19:18 (sixteen years ago) link
roxy, I am still trying to figure that one out since I've realized I am too old and have too many responsibilities to be drinking until 2am for half the nights out of the week.
I think for Xmas I am going to ask for a bunch of magazine subscriptions so I always have something to read around the house that doesn't take as much time as books, and I think I'm going to upgrade my netflix, because I would probably be better served by watching movies and reading news than by zoning out with playstation or comforting detective TV all the time. Even when I'm relaxing I feel better if my relaxation involves learning about new things.

tombot who would win in a fight between bruce willis with numchcuks vs. a stormtrooper on rollerblades with an aluminum baseball bat
― Mr. Que, Monday, 26 November 2007 19:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Tombot, does your housekeeper clean out the litter box?
Even if there's pee on the floor?
― Pleasant Plains, Monday, 26 November 2007 19:29 (sixteen years ago) link
you are leaving out a lot of variables I consider important. If I assume the stormtrooper is approaching at speed on his skates and prepared to just clothesline the shit out of mr. willis Mailbox Baseball style then def. the stormtrooper - OTOH with proper timing, Bruce could just as easily duck into a somersault and clip his would-be assailant's ankles with the 'chucks leading to a spectacular make-out session with the pavement
― El Tomboto, Monday, 26 November 2007 19:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Mr. Plains: I have not gotten around to investigating the litterbox situation since the housekeeping operation took place. I am still dumbfounded by other amazing maid feats too numerous to list here.
― El Tomboto, Monday, 26 November 2007 19:51 (sixteen years ago) link
And anyway Dr. Ben never pees on the floor (knock on wood)

Have you considered this litter box? http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41HCzmopvCL._AA280_.jpg
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 26 November 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link
If that was my cat, his ass would be sticking out of the hole while his face was in the litter.
― Pleasant Plains, Monday, 26 November 2007 21:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Mr. Redd et le Blecchs: No, I have not. Upon brief consideration of that litter box, however, I would rather the cat's toilet not become a conversation piece, which would invariably occur were I to spend whatever ridiculous sum that thing probably costs.
― El Tomboto, Monday, 26 November 2007 21:46 (sixteen years ago) link
on the plus side, your cat would be able to pretend it was a spaceman everytime it pooped
― max, Monday, 26 November 2007 21:47 (sixteen years ago) link
i sort of want a toilet that looks like that
max: it would seem that it is a coincidence, since the last time I was credulous enough to put any stock in numerological or other mystic hoo-ha was probably around 1987 at the very latest.
― El Tomboto, Monday, 26 November 2007 21:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Could someone Photoshop a little space helmet on that cat?

tombot have you ever tried teaching a cat to use the toilet?
(a friend of mine tried this with his two cats--he said the smarter one was getting it but the stupider one was dragging her down, so he gave it up)

mr. proof: Yes, I have, many times. However I've been told it requires near-constant attention and much tenacity, which my work and school schedules since becoming a man who keeps cats prevent me from applying to the task.

i understand one of your cats is a doctor, though, so it shouldn't be too difficult
― mookieproof, Monday, 26 November 2007 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link
You really gotta have more than one toilet in the house for the cat training to work. Unless you don't mind shitting on newspapers ala Brian Wilson.
