I hurt myself yesterday and I can't lift, have sex or do any activity except walk on a flat surface for 7 days, there's nothing on tv, and no good movies out. So my mind is pondering the strange things that I see people do and odd things or statements that I've always scratched my head at, feel free to ad to the list


People who take the elevator at a 2-3 level gym
People with a plain Honda or Toyota car parking diagonally in parking spots
People who order a double cheesburger and fries, but get a diet soda
What's the diference between normal ketchup and fancy ketchup
What's the difference between partly cloudy and partly sunny
Why do doctors leave the room when you change, when they're going to see you naked anyways
Why can't donuts be square

Never understood ...
"New and Improved"
"Hit new show of the TV season"  If it's never been on, how can it be a hit?
"Giant economy size"
A $500 Honda with $3000 wheels
Why do we say after dark when its really after light
Why do you have to "put your two cents in"...but it's only a "penny for
your thoughts"?
Why do people say they slept like a baby. Did they cry all night and keep their parents up?
If a # 2 lead pencil is the most popular pencil in the world why ain't it # 1?

Get better soon, sweetie

Why can't donuts be square? Well that is because... "Pi are squared"!!! (for those who don't get the math reference area of circle = (pi)(r^2)

sry too nerdy of a joke? LOL

You must be an engineer lol

Pulled this off Yahoo answers.  No sex for 7 days makes one weak...... sorry couldn't resist.


"Fancy" used to be a required term to indicate that the food in a can or jar had been processed (like peeling and coring) or had been flavored (like with the addition of seasoning or spices)

It is a throw-back from when canned commercial foods first became available. When people bought a can of apples, they expected there to be whole apples in there, seeds, peel and all. So to designate foods that had been prepared in some way, like peeling and coring them - they were required to use the word "Fancy."

In ketchup - the word "fancy" just means seasoning has been added to it and it isn't just sweetened tomato sauce in there.

Also from the web.

"Partly cloudy and partly sunny are essentially the same thing," said David Wert, meteorologist-in-chief at the National Weather Service office in Blacksburg. "Both are used for conditions when the average amount of opaque cloud cover ranges from 45 percent to 75 percent. We usually use 'partly sunny' for daytime conditions, and 'partly cloudy' for nighttime conditions under these situations. It wouldn't make too much sense to use 'partly sunny' for a nighttime condition."

"Back off! I have Google and I'm not afraid to use it!"

"Fancy Ketchup, Ma'am?"
"No, my good man, standard will be fine"

WHAT MAKES KETCHUP FANCY?????
Consider the following ingredient lists:

McDonald’s Fancy Ketchup: Tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, water, salt, natural flavors (vegetable source).

Heinz: Tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, natural flavoring.

Hunt’s: Tomato concentrate made from vine ripened tomatoes, high fructose corn syrup, distilled vinegar, corn syrup, salt, less than 2% of onion powder, garlic Powder, natural flavors.

Although the ingredient proportions differ slightly and the spice blends aren’t identical, all three of these ketchups are pretty much the same. So what makes the McDonald’s ketchup fancier than the others?

Turns out, it’s nothing special on the ingredient list. According to Heinz, “fancy” is simply a USDA designation that producers are allowed to use for marketing if their product meets the standards of US Grade A/US Fancy tomato ketchup, which possesses a better color, consistency and flavor, and has fewer specks and particles and less separation of the liquid/solid contents than US Grade B/US Extra Standard Ketchup and US Grade C/US Standard Ketchup.

What goes into ketchup grading? Testers look for a lack of tomato skin and seeds in the product, a smooth, uniform texture and a total acidity over one percent, among other things. For a through explanation of what all goes into ketchup grading, see this USDA manual

Must say HH you had some good ones in your list.

Have you ever heard someone refer to a water heater as a hot water heater? Why would you need to heat the water if it's alreay hot? Mixing two languages to say the same thing. Salsa sauce. Rio Grande River. Pick a language and go with it.

So? I prefer Diet. I'd probably have to purge, if I ate that, now, though.

Bailey,
        what did you do that essentially screwed yourself? during my army days, when I was definitely in shape and I could bench press usually 250-280lbs as my top end. One day to show off in front of soldiers I benched a hefty 330lbs. the picture was awesome, me screaming trying to get adreneline going, veins popping from neck, bar bent from weight and finally got it up twice! Yes I was the man, by mid morning my back hurt, by noon I couldnt sit nor stand straight. by afternoon I was in the emergency room with a slipped disk. Oh ya, I was da man. I wasnt told sex was off menu but damn near everything else was. I understand your plight but I am positive with your gift for writing, this should be a good story.

Thank you very much. Loved that. Good way to start the day.

Too bad I can't eat one......OMG a couple of you mad me laugh so hard I snorted. I forgot about 500 cars with 3k wheels, and mixing languages lol

To make a long story short, I waited too long to get a deep tissue massage so my hammies and glutes were too tight and on my third and final set of V squats at 180lbs I felt 2 pops and knee dropping pain.

I knew I popped out discs I've done it before so I get to do physical therapy every day for a week, with a very young innocent young man who feels very uncomfortable doing traction moves with me because it's basically sex positions lol. The poor kid blushes and stammers his way through it.

I'll be back in the gym on Monday and doing legs by Thurs I just have to modify and do front squats, this is my last year of competing in this category since they're changing the rules so I'd like to go out with a bang and gain more muscle mass for the next category.

Thank you to those who are being patient with my down time and for that one that isn't well you know how I feel about you now

if you need a good orthopedic, I can recommend one... after 12 surgeries, I am a pro at hurting myself through work and sports!

I've got one he's on speed dial lol
