Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!

Inspired by a thread on another forum I'm on, announce anything you wish (as long as it is within forum rules! ); no matter how minor, insignificant or pointless.
I'll start. Today I had an ever so healthy dinner of tortilla chips and salsa.

Hello.
Okay. This is my real announcement. See I've been waiting all day for you to call me baby. So lets get up let's get on it don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight. Com'on. That's right.
So can we finish what we started?
Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight.
Come on, that's right, cheerio.
Well, at least I'm assuming. Somewhere in this world a Scott must be having a birthday now, right? The odds are pretty good I'd say. So, happy birthday, Scott!
I hear you,
I think my raccoons are getting steroids somewhere. You can't believe how indignant they get being carried back into the woods.
I think it was just spots on the outer edges of wings though unlike the photo I found.
Years ago on my first woods retreat I was meditating with my eyes resting on a sandy spot near a river. After a while a large number of butterfly's of all sorts started congregating and landing on that area like a Disney animation.
Of course later I found out that all it takes is one butterfly to dump pheromones on an area and that is the result.
I won't embarrass myself here by telling you what I thought was causing it.

I love parts of foods.
I love the orange part of the carrot, but not the green bit on top.
I love the inner segments of an orange, but not the outer bit.
Whole foods are ok, but parts of foods are better.
I left the room for ten minutes...when I came back
I thought for a startled moment that a swan had got in...we live by the river and they do come up to the front door..I then realsed that it was a wobbling three foot high pile of foam which had poured out of the washer...
That'll larn me.
My first thought was "Oh, I can bake some chicken" and then I remembered I've gone vegetarian. Its the first time I've had that sort of automatic thought since February. haha
I once (in my bygone meat-eating days) walked out of a steak-house restaurant, because after I'd ordered my steak, and how I wanted it cooked, the waiter returned and asked me,
"Excuse me ma'am, but the chef doesn't know what you mean by wanting your steak 'blue'.... Could you let him know?"
I replied,
"Let him know he has no business being a steak chef, if he doesn't know what a blue steak is!"
@riverflow, you can only put as wee a bit of rosemary as you want - but we hard-line purist traditionalists would NEVER use rosemary in a pasta sauce.... (We appear to lack the insufferable sniffy, obnoxious and smugly superior smiley I would normally insert here....:D )
Or, at least, this is what I'd like to announce after tomorrow night's drawing....
In every case, you "test" the thumb-pad on your palm, with the opposite index-finger:
Assuming you use the left hand:
Tip of thumb to tip of index finger: - Blue.
Tip of thumb to tip of middle finger: - rare
Tip of thumb to tip of ring finger: - medium
Tip of thumb to tip of little finger: - well done.
NOTE: There is NO SUCH THING as 'medium-rare'. It's impossible to cook a steak 'medium-rare', The 'gap' (between 'medium' and 'rare') is too narrow to get right.
[There's a distinct overlap into the 'Diet and Habits' forum here, but....oh well....:D ]
So do floor rainbows count as real rainbows? Actually, it was more of a prism rainbow because it was sideways.
It is raining. I approve.
:rockon:
@person messed up his joke.
It was still funny, and nobody noticed.
2 kids, me....SPF 50 sunscreen...poolside....about

Village Mag.....sipping on unsweet Tea.....Ahhhh!!! Felt like a

beautiful day!
