04/01 - Silly Sunday!

[electrolyte]

I sold some paperback books on Ebay to a local guy today and I get to meet him tomorrow to give them to him. I'll make less than $8 after it's all over and should have been turking. Hopefully he doesn't kill me or make me put lotion on my skin...

I hope you're meeting in a public place! (Some safety minded people recommend meeting up in a police station parking lot for transactions like that.)

I've always found that it's helpful to be prepared; you should have already been using lotion
our skin is probably one of the most important organs we have, and upkeep is fairly simple
you just need to put the lotion on the skin
a lot of water, as well as a healthy diet is also sure to keep your skin in great shape, firm and fit for a long time

That's what I hear, it puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

BTW, this Quest channel on TV is new here and is awesome, but I'm very tired of the repeated commercials for the Eggsitter seat cushion, catheters, and Seriorcare USA, to name a few...

REMEMBER! Free Pizza tomorrow at little ceasers for march madness.

I haven't had them in over a decade... I can't even remember what they taste like

what's their quality rating, on a scale of (store brand $1 single serves pizza) - (authentic greek pizzeria)

Meeting at a local Quik Trip with lots of people and cameras. No worries, I probably won't even carry a pistol. Yes, I have a permit and am well trained.

You know what? I think I've got it figured out. I've been trying to think of a good way to explain mturk to non-mturkers like family etc, and it just hit me..

MTurk is basically Hungry Hungry Hippos. You set up your scripthippos and hope they chomp down on some juicy ballmonies. Except instead of 4 hippos there's like 40000 hippos and there's just not enough balls for everyone.

I think this is so strange. I would have liked to be in the meeting room when they came up with this one.

Barb: What can we do to thank our gym members and encourage them to keep up with the new habits they are continuing to build.
Frank: Hmmm..
Steve: I know, pizza!
JoAnne: Brilliant! Make it so.

The meeting probably went more like this

Barb: What can we do to keep these people from quitting their gym memberships
Frank: If they never lose the weight, they have to keep coming to the gym
Steve: Thats genius! How about some sort of pizza monday and maybe a bagel tuesday... plenty of carbs there
JoAnne: Brilliant!

Makes perfect sense. Free pizza to destroy all their hard work and make them eternal repeat customers. "Come for the pizza, stay because how else are you gonna burn all that pizza fat away?".

yea, I don't really get it either
you don't want something greasy just after you've worked out, kinda makes you feel gross
plus, you're probably losing whatever benefit your workout might have gotten, meaning you'll have to keep coming back to the gym... renewing membersh..

Minor heart attack after I started to do the qual hit that was posted today. Got a message saying that my access was denied and that I had to register the account. I pressed back and tried to accept again, and that time it went through.

Oh, Mturk...

Probably how it went. I was a member for a few years. It was nice when it first opened, then it was like they didn't plan on maintaining anything and the equipment went to shit. I went to one in the nice part of town once and it was nicer.
