I agree. I can't drink the water here unless it's filtered, b/c it tastes horrible, usually chlorinated. Although I don't buy bottled water unless I absolutely need to, I do buy water filtration systems and filters. And, if you are a water connoiseur, all the bottled waters taste different.

culligan is the best! I have a filter pitcher for home, but we get bottled water regularily. Its really cheap here too becuase of how bad the tap water is.

If it's dumb things people buy:
- Pet rocks
- Tamagatchi
- Collectible Card Games (cardboard crack, yo)
- 4" long sculpted/painted fingernails (eeeww!)
- tobacco products
- Microsoft products
- (my gosh, this list could go on and on...)

I buy dumb stuff apparently.

What are some dumb products you absolutely can't believe people buy? I came across this little gem in the Reader's Digest humor section:

I bought a liquid-crystal sensor to test my kids' bath temperature. The instructions told me to dip the card in the water. A green glow and the word "okay" meant the water was just right.

And there was a final precaution: "Always check with your hand before placing child in the tub."

-Karen Johnson, Shawnee, Kansas

Why the heck would anyone spend money on a device to tell you if your kids' bath water is too hot?! "Wow! This water seems really hot! It almost burns my skin! I should put my kids in and see what happens!" or "Wow! This water is really cold and uncomfortable! I wonder if my baby would enjoy this? I sure wish I could figure it out. If only there was a way to know." I mean, come on!

I think I'm in the wrong business.

Yeah, you could just put the kid in.... if it turns red, the waters probably too hot.

Kidding... i'm kidding, jeez.

It's okay, I for one enjoy dead baby jokes.

As to my daughter, she's a foster kid. She's getting better values now that she's living here, but we accept the "fun" aspects of the gangsta and hiphop parts of her cultural choices and enjoy being able to speak that language that she's acquainting us with. It's a form of satire and a fad.

Better hope your daughter doesn't read this, or she'll do a drive by on your ass, son. BTW, does she wear those big gold earrings that span the length between the earlobe and the shoulder? And is her hair cinched into a tight golfball in the back of her head until her eyeballs practically pop out and her face looks like she just had work done? That's hot. That and the occasional gang signs and I'm melting inside. OK, I'm only joking, but seriously, she drinks 40s and smokes weed with the cool kids. Just giving you a heads up.

What's wrong with those? I have several pair, although, none are gold. Mine are all either black or silver.

Will this thread please just die already?!

I mean the gold ones that populate all the hoes in the movies Boyz In The Hood and Do the Right Thing. It's not the length but the design characteristics of those severely dated earrings that just won't die in the projects.

Probably not.

I asked for it to be locked, but no go. Shouldn't we have the right to end our own threads? I had zombie threads and I hate this one in particular. I started it when I was in a bad mood, and it puts me in a bad mood everytime I see it.

knobtwirler · 2005-09-23 11:10 pm

Ok let me help this thread get locked by straying a little bit off topic. Why does your "zombie thread" bother you so much? Is it like the illegitimate child you gave up and keep running in to at the mall? Just stop looking at it. I don't get it. Let go. Be at peace.
P.S. I just reread your initial post and now I understand. Sort of.
