The Anything Thread

[Deuce]

God damn I'm so out of practice when it comes to asking a woman out on a date. I haven't done this shit in like 5 years. Doesn't help that I'm thinking about it WAY too much cause I indirectly work with her.

I'm fuckin' sad I tell ya.

My advice is to do it quickly...act like you're in a hurry or doing something. Real quick say..."what are you doing this weekend? ...wanna get together?" ...and try and say it when you are basically walking away from her. Makes it seem informal and if she says no you can just say ok an keep walking.

...never really worked for me. I paid a hypnotist to follow me around an he made girls like me.

Well. Finally got the nerve to ask her out this weekend. No go. She's busy. But "rain check". Not sure if that's good or bad... We shall see.

I am sure some of you are following the Trayvon Martin case. Feel free and pull out the old barf bags, this is humanity at it's finest.

The mother of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin has filed papers seeking to trademark two slogans based on his name.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office filings by Sybrina Fulton are for the sayings "I Am Trayvon" and "Justice For Trayvon." The applications were filed last week.

Welcome to the Friend Zone.

Maybe. I forgot to say that she said she already had plans to go to her sisters for the weekend.

She's clearly at least semi-interested and we have a few things in common (both REALLY like Terry Pratchett books and reading in general and both enjoy Italian food) so we'll see. I'll give it a week and ask again and if she blows me off again, then oh well.

You have already asked her out and she had a previous engagement. Since she obviously knows you are interested in her, put the onus on her and let her ask you out or bring it up. If she does not ever bring it up, it was never meant to be.

I am okay on this only in one way ... she wants to protect against others making money off her son's name. However, in every other way, this sickens me. Especially because I can't legitimately believe that my first point is reality.

I'm not going to lie, I would shit in my pants and drop dead if I ever seen one of these things in my house.

When it comes to giant rat infestations, New York gets all the attention.

But a breed of giant, Gambian rats have been rapidly reproducing in the Florida Keys despite a decade-long effort to wipe them out. KeysNet reports the invasive, African native species first began showing up between 1999-2001 after a local exotic animal breeder released eight of the rats into the wild.

"We thought we had them whipped as of 2009," said Scott Hardin, exotic species coordinator for Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. "We think they have not moved far but they clearly reproduced," he said.

The rodents, officially known as the Gambian pouched rat, are the largest known breed of rats in the world. They can grow up to three feet in length and weigh as much as nine pounds. Wildlife officials fear that if the large-sized rodents make it to the Florida mainland, they could devastate local crops if they reach the Florida mainland.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has been working with Florida officials to wipe out the rodents, and there are only an estimate few dozen at large, but they can reproduce quickly and do so only five months after being born. After producing a litter, the Gambian rat only has to wait another nine months before having another litter, bearing up to six babies at a time.

Officials thought they had successfully gotten rid of all of the Gambian rats back in 2008, but several of the burrowing creatures recently began showing up in the yards of local residents. "We were skeptical but went back and talked to people and [saw] there were rats that we missed," Hardin told KeysNet.

Using cantaloupe and peanut butter as bait, officials say are planning another to distribute another 200 traps in an effort to clear the keys of the Gambian rats, some of which are larger than the average house cat.

"We're going to try to trap at least that often until we see signs that we have knocked them back," Hardin said.

From my days in the funeral business, I can tell you that rodents, cats, and small dogs (for sure) go for soft tissue like ear lobes, nostrils, eye lids, and scrotums.

Edit: I also saw rats eat a woman's finger tips once, too.
