The Utterly Random Thought Thread.

There was just a fatal mountain lion attack in El Dorado County, and I hike a lot in mountain lion country, so I got to thinking. Why not simply carry when out there? Oh, I don't mean a weapon, I mean a cucumber. Works on house cats I understand via the internet, the wellspring of all things truthful, and also on cheetahs...

Tonight I had a thick burger with sweet onion, honey BBQ Sauce Cheddar Cheese and bacon. On the side I had thick cut steak fries that I dipped in melted cheese mixed with the same bbq sauce. To wash it down I had a local ginger ale Ale 8.

Would you consider your local ginger ale better than Canada Dry?

Much better. But that could just be nostalgia talking since I have been drinking it for the better part of 30 years.

Whoa! I've never heard of that. What's the taste like?

That's commonly how a knish is eaten.

Not the exact same as fries, but close enough to get the idea I think.

And german potato slad has a mustard/vinegar base. So mustard and potatoes isn't really weird.

Sometimes I wonder if Shakespeare ever read his plays or sat through any of them and just said to himself:

"Damn I was spittin!"

Since he also acting in many of them, I am sure he did.

There were tons of sincere patriots enlisting during WWII without POTUS' polite-but-insistent invitation. I wonder how many volunteered to escape their lives, even (maybe especially) if it meant leaving a family?

I won ten bucks in the Powerball Lottery the other day. That was enough for a couple slices of pizza for lunch from a nearby pizzeria. Yum!

Sometimes I wonder this:

You're in love with your spouse/partner, had a life together, that person passes away. After some time, you move on and you get another spouse/partner and love them too.

In the afterlife, who the hell do you turn to when you're all together?!

I used to wonder that too, then I stopped believing in afterlife (not necessarily connected). I guess if there is an afterlife and a one where we meet others and everyone is still basically the same person they were in life, polyamory must be a thing. Sex probably isn't, since... no bodies, so that might make it easier. Who knows.

Similarly, back when I still believe in all of that christian stuff about heaven and hell, I also used to wonder: If someone ends up in heaven with most of their family/friends, but one of their loved ones ends up in hell, how are they going to be happy without them? Assuming it wasn't someone who ends up in hell for abusing them but for something unrelated, they might miss them. Do they see some copy, like an AI or hallucination or something in their place to be happy (that would be a lie, so a contradiction to the idea of heaven being a place of truth and love), is their memory removed (same problem), or are they somehow pressured into accepting it? How could someone accept that a person they love is in hell? Or will they learn that the whole story was a lie and everyone is in the same afterlife? I swear, religion creates so much unnecessary fear ...
