ColonialSpore,

Not all cats have a problem with flaps.

I have two cats they have zero problems with the flaps. They sometimes use the flap as a short cut to sneak up on the other one when playing.

I have those electronic ones you register with their microchip so only they can use the flaps.

But, I still get gifts like mice, skinks, praying mantis, cicadas, leaves, etc. The flaps don’t stop gifts.

ColonialSpore,

Cyanoacrylate is a moisture cure adhesive. You have lots of moisture in your skin which helps it cure.
Cyanoacrylate is used in medical glue because it bonds so well with skin. Depending on the cut/injury, the medic may apply glue instead of stitches.

It’s doing its job. Don’t use acetone, it’s bad for you.

I scrape it off with a Stanley knife blade.

ColonialSpore,

Yes, she works for a company. Yes, she is a spokesperson for them.

But 'cmon guys. She was having a laugh at herself. Adding a bit of humour into what she does.
Go easy on her. Jeez.

The world is too fucking PC these days. And, too bloody serious on top of it all.

ColonialSpore,

Down vote me all you like mate, but life will be shit without a laugh or two.

I really should have mentioned political correctness after my statement about the world being too serious. As an adjunct to that sentence… but it’s done, so…

Anyhow, I’m not justifying any racism. I’m laughing at the same thing she was because I understand where she was coming from; and I know I’m not alone.

I’ve had the pleasure of working in a four different countries mixing with cultures where people make fun of themselves for a laugh. It’s not uncommon in the world. The problem is some people are too sensitive.

That’s my “quality take”.

ColonialSpore,

Oh for fuck’s sake! I can’t believe you’re real. You know fuck all about me, my race, or my sense of humour. You would be surprised about all three of those!

Context doesn’t always come through with text responses. If you and I were sat across a table from each other, we’d probably be ordering another beer. Unless you’re a …, in which case the first beer would never happen!

Lighten up mate. Take a pill or something.

ColonialSpore,

Ah.
Resorts to violence when confused…

No response required.

ColonialSpore,

I’m over this work malarkey.

But, I’ll have to endure some more…

ColonialSpore,

10 actually, but whose counting…

ColonialSpore,

With the state of the world economy, I may have to!

I’m a male prostitute by the way.

ColonialSpore,

True

ColonialSpore,

Rode my bike, machined a widget on my lathe and mill, drank all the beers.

In that order.

ColonialSpore,

Yeah. I don’t mess with powerful machines.

ColonialSpore,

Going past the bicycle shop on my cycle home from work today to buy a Garmin 840 cycling computer. Then, after my Friday pizza dinner with wifey, I’m going to fit it to one of my other bikes and play on the weekend. I am beside myself with excitement. I can’t wait.

ColonialSpore,

Oh I can wax lyrically all afternoon to tell you why I need it.

I like to ride long off road trails. I’m tired of taking detours and getting lost in an unfamiliar area trying to find my way back on track.

The final straw was, last weekend exploring the Whakarewarewa forest on my MTB ( in Rotorua) for trails I haven’t been on before and ended up having to unnecessarily pedal up a few steep climbs because I missed a path or two. So I’m throwing technology at the problem.

Plus, it’s cool.

ColonialSpore,

LOL

ColonialSpore,

Did you log out and log back in?

If that doesn’t work, then power cycle it.

ColonialSpore,

A win is a win. Embrace it.

Aaaaaaand, we’re still first on Everest.

ColonialSpore,

'cos we’re amazing.

ColonialSpore,

That would wind me up too!

ColonialSpore,

You don’t want to smell like a bus stop at 3pm.

ColonialSpore,

I feel sorry for your neighbours.
I used to live next door to a drummer.

ColonialSpore,

Nice

ColonialSpore,

Good point

ColonialSpore,

I can spell rockitt, and that’s all I know.

But, I have been to their facility in Mt Wellington. I work for a company who builds components for them.

ColonialSpore,

That’s frigging awesome.

I salute guys (and girls) like you who do this kind of stuff.
I hope I’m never one of your customers, but it’s good to know there are people like you.
