Random Thoughts That Don’t Warrant Their Own Thread: 2025

I'm happy to see you carry on your thread starting tradition in this new year!

 

Christmas is down, all but the lights. Reckon I will get to that this weekend.

 

First

 

Not first.

 

Which gives you more joy to create?

 

What is y'all's favorite Air Bud film? Just started seventh inning fetch. It still holds up.

 

Happy New Year (to you randos that observe)

marley and me

 

Doesn't Air Bud die in that one? No thank you.

 

Got all of my Christmas stuff down and put away. Despite efforts with a vacuum and broom I am looking forward to finding random Christmas tree needles for the next three months.

Our Christmas shit isn’t coming down until February

why y’all in such a hurry

 

We took down Christmas today, but the son’s birthday is Sunday.

 

Eating pomelo fruit for the first time and I'm pretty sure it now ranks in the Top 3 fruits. This thing is amazingly delicious. Wonder if it's consistently always this good or I just got a good one.

 

pomelo as a top 3 fruit might be the hottest take I’ve seen on this board

 

Got the Christmas stuff down today too. Watching air Bud again before the game.

 

Tree will probably come down this weekend. My wife got overwhelmed and didn't want to do a lot of decorating for Christmas this year so we never put lights outside which I consider a win.

 

any tea drinkers? looking to substitute coffee with matcha. coffee affects the effectiveness of a morning Rx absorption. matcha has the highest caffeine content and am curious about it/tea in general

 

I don’t know what a pomelo is

 

I’ve since looked it up

 

It's a tangelo with seeds like a pomegranate

 

So they found a way to ruin a tangelo? I thought the point was to take the seeds out?

 

you gotta try this pomelo

 

what? no that’s wrong

it’s like a grapefruit but milder and sweeter

Independence Day and Halloween are on Fridays this year. Cool.

 

Anyone ever used the Gametime app to purchase tickets? Prices seem significantly lower than other 3rd party ticket sites. Just want to see if people have used it and no issues?

I’ve heard of people using it but they’re not people I trust. Their old commercial made it seem like a scam

 

Good old fashioned black tea was a good substitute for me. English breakfast with a dash of cream

 

I used it to purchase tickets to a Mets/Cardinals game on a whim when in NYC last year. Very straightforward and no issues at all.

 

The janitorial staff that cleans at work loves to make origami flowers with Kleenex. Please don’t touch tissue and shove it back in the box.

 

Put off getting a flu shot because I didn't want to wait 15 minutes extra at my doctor's appointment 2 months ago. Never got one. Currently on day 3+ of feeling like complete shit

 

there's a norovirus outbreak in Oregon rn

 

I've had norovirus before and fortunately it's not that. Not sure I've been humbled on a more fundamental level than having zero control over shitting and puking at the same time.

 

Several times with no issues

 

That's why I always dig in and grab from the bottom

 

If you’re a butthead wouldn’t you technically be shitting every time you puke?

 

No, I'm scoring all the time
